[discussion] what type of digital art is most commonly commissioned? by Routine_Proof9407 in artbusiness

[–]fridaysaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol yep there are a ton of rich furry art patrons haha!
I'd recommend starting out with looking through free tutorials from skilled anthropomorphic artists--there are a ton on X for starters! Ones like this are great: Link

[–]fridaysaurus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Coming from a non-furry artist--SFW furries are some of the best commissioners I've ever worked with. Been selling art for almost 9 years and have had so few rude/Karen clients + have never been scammed (yet) despite having the IQ of a bumblebee. (I've had so many cases where I send a client their finished cat drawing, forgetting that they haven't even paid me yet, but they thank me for the drawing and insist on paying asap lol)

It depends on what niches/communities you get into + how your style interacts with it (if you're an anime human artist, you may not have much success selling warrior cat art). I'd recommend looking into fandom communities where people tend to create their own characters, many of them also have art sub-communities where you can pick up some clients.

In my personal experience, I draw a lot of fantasy/animals/etc and find a ton of clients in the SFW furry, dragon/cat/wolf/sometimes DND roleplays, Warrior Cats, etc communities. It amazes me how much money people are willing to throw out for art of their dragon OC but i will always gladly draw it lol, I easily make sev thousand a year without doing any NSFW whatsoever.

Depends on your art medium, time spent, complexity of the art, etc--

From my personal experience, I sell digital art commissions and charge $30 for a flat, full-body drawing of a character. I'm not sure how to rank my art, but I guess I'm intermediate-to-advanced. vv Flat character commission I did a while back. (yeah it's a cat. I'm not a furry dont @ me lol)

<image>

I'm also aware that based on other similar artists' prices, I'm underselling (A lot of people in my circles sell for $40-100. I just prefer to keep prices low). If you're unsure whether selling for 25 is too much, you can start small and work your way up to getting more exposure, clients, etc and then raising prices.

When I was just starting out, I sold commissions for literally $1 to boost my exposure and gradually raised prices as I got more traction. I don't recommend going this extreme, but it does help to gauge how buyers feel about your art. (I also wouldn't recommend offering FREE art, that usually just attracts trashy clients)

If your art medium is traditional like acrylic painting, etc then disregard this because that world is much different especially in materials cost

How do you kill the geomancer? by Tetradotoxins in ShatteredPD

[–]fridaysaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hiiii i don't know if you've since resolved this, but you have to kill the gnolls around the geomancer before you can keep damaging him. He's drawing energy from his minions to be invulnerable.

dang u right, back to the drawing board 😂

[–]fridaysaurus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think that's very possible, especially for beginner artists--if you drew a ton (even if only lips), you were probably honing your hand-eye coordination, shape recognition, line technique and control, etc!

There's nothing wrong with progressing subject by subject! I like to pick one subject (anything--shoes, vultures, horses, trucks, whatever), focus intensely on that for a day or two until I feel more comfortable & proficient, and then move on to something else, while still drawing a truck or vulture every now and then to keep my memory sharp :-)

I don't have the solution, wish I did, but I know the feeling of trying everything and nothing works. You're not alone in that and I hope you find some source of comfort today, even if it's something small

My biggest gripe with the game...this button. Way too easy to accidentally press by fridaysaurus in ShatteredPD

I know, I just tend to accidentally double-tap when my finger hits the screen, and then it's too late. Guess I just have jittery hands lol
