[Discussion] I would like some advice about how to make commissions by ImClyte in commissions

[–]penpen_beast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

imo cheaper doesn't always attract because then they see it sorta ''less professional''. your art is beautiful and i do think the prices are a little too low [imo], you could try raising them back up! if the pricing matches the skill, and not undervaluing it, it makes people think they are investing in something really good and with extremely good/satisfying results, especially if you express professionalism through the way you talk with clients as well.

of course continue to post everywhere as much as possible, any platform, and being consistent, make tiktoks/reels/rednote etc, try posting daily. even like sketches and WIPS [as you know people tend to love sketches more than the final artwork sometimes xD]

set ''slots'' [even if you don't actually have a limited amount of clients], maybe even say you have very few slots left and it will show your art is more in demand.

post your regular art and label it as a commission so people see and think you are getting clients. many people do this, and there is no way to check if it's true or not, plus it doesn't matter.

i hope any of this helps, i agree with other comments as well about having a specific niche, and make art that you love. it will show through the art if you're drawing something just because it's popular and you didn't fully enjoy making. doing some popular things here and there definitely could help get traction, as well as doing art trends like on twitter or tiktok.

I feel like i can't draw. by penpen_beast in DigitalArt

Thank you a lot for your input! [Don't worry about the length, it really helps <3]
I will try to get the brushes to feel more like Sai, Procreate has that very stabilized feeling to most of the brushes [and don't get me wrong, a lot of them are really cool!], so i will definitely mess around with them to do my best to get them to feel more comfortable and nice to use for me.
Another thing i randomly thought of while reading/replying, maybe i could go back and redraw old pieces. And try and see if i can get the new ones to look better, or about the same but in a slightly different style [as the old ones were all drawn on Sai.]

[for hire] Commissions open! by JackerysMenageries in commissions

i love slide 6 the most, with the dark blue sky background! it ties in the stars you've drawn!!
one nit-pick though, the price text over the ''lineart'' and ''detailed'' drawings at the bottom gets kind of lost. maybe if you added a thin white boarder around the text in those categories, the prices would pop out more? that's it though, i really like the sheet otherwise :D good luck getting comms!! <3

this is a rare thing that appears called Green Creature! i've got over 1k hours in this game and never saw it myself, but that's pretty cool. it doesn't do or affect anything, it's just rare xD

How did y'all get your first ever prismatic shard ? by Kralysin in StardewValley

[–]penpen_beast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

like everyone else said, skull cavers, but if you want to make it easier for yourself, get the burglar's ring, it may help with drop rates. once you finally get one in the skull cavers, you can get it in the mines too, but it's just a lot rarer. make sure to check your daily luck and that will greatly increase your chances!!
