I got paid for a minor commission, yesterday.

It was nice to make a bit of money, but I think I still need a job.

I'm not sure if getting paid in Atari Tokens counts.

Digital gaming currencies turn the entire concept of money sideways, and they do it on purpose.

No, not the guy who paid in Atari points.  I've done 2 commission things at this point.  I got paid in cash (by payPal) for one, and the other guy gave me Atari Points.

Still, the guy who paid in Atari Points paid with the equivalent of $25.  Apparently people value my art higher than I'd've thought.

Heh.

It's probably nice to be getting paid for those things, all the same. :)

Yeah.  It is.  Maybe not reliable income, but it's still nice--especially considering I didn't actually expect to get paid for the Champions one.

I don't get a lot of art commissions..when I do get offered, it's usually for something...a little beyond my comfort level. I guess that's what I get, for advertising on Fur Affinity. *shivers*

Yeah.  I avoid FA.  It's creepy over there.

Heh. :P

I usually just make or half-make things and then they find their way to somewhere.
If it's not that good or only partially acceptable (I like a part, a concept, a style, something...), which is the majority of them, I'll usually toss it or store it where I'll hardly ever see it.
Some things... if they're good enough... I'll share or give away.
Heh.

When I was little, at elementary school, I would sell drawings for quarters, nickels and dimes. :P
But I haven't really done "commissions" since then. XP
If I get paid for something, it was because they were nice enough to do so.

The funny thing is, though, apparently I wasn't the only one selling my art in elementary school. :P
I would doodle things and give them to the vice principle, my teachers, my classmates... and just about anyone else, really.  There were a lot of drawings to go around.
I recently learned that my vice principle would have them around, for a while... and then someone who came in regularly started just... buying them from her. O.o
Who?
Who knows.
Why...?
Continues to puzzle me.
I mean... I was in elementary school. Uh... anyone who wants to get silly squiggles from a kid could just hand some children paper and writing/coloring utensils and then come back and pick up after them. Squiggles galore... for FREE.

Oh, well, I guess.
:P



Though... I've thought of commissions again, lately...
I could use some extra money... XP

Where/how do you guys suggest I try that...?

At this point, all the commissioned work I've done has been where I wasn't looking for it, so I really don't know what to suggest, there.

There actually are some really nice people, on FA. Not to mention you can also upload music, too. DeviantArt is also great, especially with its Group system. I don't really browse FA, to avoid the creepy things..I mostly just upload, write a journal, and comment on stuff. It's a great community, strange fetishes aside. Still..dA is my home, and where I spend 90% of my time at.

If you want to start commissions, I highly recommend either or both. If you want to sell already-drawn art, I hear eBay and Craig's List are good, too. (though I've never done that..)

They can actually make some money off of those sites?
I just see all of those bunches of adds and think that anything I tried to sell would get lost in there... >.>
:P

To be fair, you can sell anything on craigslist.

I buy 100% of my human sacrifices and cursed artifacts there.

I don't think I've ever bought anything on craigslist...

On second thought, scratch that.

I bought this belt at a yard sale once, and I wouldn't vouch for it's non-cursed status.
