Trust me, no one likes having to advertise. But a guy's gotta make a buck somehow, and a day job isn't always enough.
Fuck anyone who complains about not making enough on patreon or commissions though, that's like bitching at potential customers for not throwing money at you.

I have absolutely no fucking idea, but they do.
Maybe it's just that some people hate that artists want to make any money with their art because it's not a "real job." I can at least understand the argument when it comes to patreon, but commissions are active "you pay me, you get product" deals, compared to patreon's "you pay me and maybe get more product or maybe not maybe I'm sleepy today." I don't have much against patreon, but I can at least understand why a lot of people find it sketchy.
Oh yeah, then fuck that guy. Lots of artists do those sorts of commission streams and make a good chunk of change with them. If he did them and decided to stop for no particular reason, that's his loss.
Christopher Perez
>banned it from his commissions in fear of the barbaric laws of his country (Canada).
It's worse than you think, because the laws in leafland are so vague, anything stylized can be interpreted as under 18. So even your standard anime girl who is canonically 18+ and has a job and shit can be risky to lewd. You can pretty much only draw big breasted cakes here.

I get the first one because people will obviously care less for oc or personal work but I'd rather have no followers than a bunch of lurker ones. The second is just a weird case because I tried asking the dude who keeps doing that once and they have their account set to only get messages from people they follow.
Jonathan Green
>Email the artist you want to commission

I'm experiencing this with an artist right now. It took them two months to respond to my inquiry, and when they did it was very well-structured and informative, so I sent my request and now it's been two weeks, and still no response.

From what I gather from these threads, artists are either bro-tier chads or an absolute pain to follow or work with. And there is zero in-between.

And it's not like anyone's actually gonna share them over and over like an actual memes. They're just shit. I hate furfags so goddamn much.

Americans are usually trash. There are good artists but the signal to noise ratio is off the scale. They will run away with your money.
Euros are mixed but usually a big leap more humble than Americans. Eastern Europe and Russia are in a league of their own.

It's the same way that jokes are sometimes called "IRL shitposts" now, people are throwing around online terminology in fucking retarded ways lately.

Similar experience with Asian and Mexican artists. Contact, explain, they give price and eta, delivered right on time.
Very few scruples, too.
Blake Young
A metric shitton of online artists are from Latin America, like a disproportionate number. No idea what's up with that, not that I'm complaining though, in my experience they're often some of the bigger names.
Benjamin Morales
I know it's hit or miss with some artists but from personal experience when reaching out to a couple I've noticed they're actually pretty lonely and really enjoy when people try to talk to them.
Christian Collins
I'd really like to get into nsfw art/animations, any tips/nonos?
Connor White
American dollars go farther there. They only need to do a few commissions per month to cover the cost of living. As such they can really focus on their art. American artists have to juggle dayjobs with their art, they're under more financial stress and have less time to dedicate to their craft.
Dylan Butler
>doing a commission

The client was cool about the time it took, but I still felt bad. I think the only reason he didn't lose it is because my price was lower than what most artists would ask for.
