Figured someone here might have tips on how to be more active and engaging, I'd like to take more commissions to earn a little extra money while I search for a job and move into the dorms.

That being said the only currency I'm interested in is USD, but I'm not too familiar with websites which allow for these transactions. I've tried a bit of advertising on DA, but wondered if anyone here might have some pearls of wisdom to share ;-)

Unfortunately I'm in the same boat, but I've heard through the grapevine that some good places to put up commission are furaffinity and different aminos.
Plus uhhh when I get a paycheck next I totally would love to commission you because yes.

u are!! an angel!!
I'll have to check fur affinity out, but I'll be honest in saying the amino layout wayyy overwhelmed me and made me a little anxious oopsies

    1. have confidence. dont say things like "this is so bad" when posting art online, because then potential customers will see that and their view on your art will be lowered. dont be too confident, dont act like your art is god, but if youre proud of a drawing definatley say it!!! even if its not good but you just like it!!

    2. be active. you dont have to post once a day, i dont think i could ever do that (im mentally ill (not as in depression/anxiety/what people normally have, i have some very very bad mental illnesses so theres no way i can post once a day) im also physically ill and im very social so im often out of the house and dont have my computer with me

    3. dont post political opinions, at least, not on your art accounts. most websites now allow you to have multiple accounts, keep anything controversial off there. politics are very heated right now and with callout posts for sick people keep coming out, you dont want some people feeling uncomfortable talking to you. of course, its fine to say things like "no racists/terfs/etc" ESPECIALLY if youre a group affected by those, but things like dysphoria discourse, asexual discourse, etc, isnt nearly as big of a deal/wide spread. those more niche debates may also push people away, as they dont know what those are and are scared they might be one. also, just dont do hate/controversial artworks, not unless you post it on a private account or something. art styles, though can be similar, have slight details that make them distinguishable from others, and if potential customers see that they'll know its you.

    4. relating to that, try to not link your personal and art accounts too closely together. if you say something dumb or controversial, then its still going to be associated with your art

    5. dont be too focused on getting commissions. people will think its annoying if you post your commission/pateron link on every post. also, unless youre some super popular/cheap artist, you're gonna get stressed from a lack of commissions. however, taking on too many commissions can also be way too stressful. it can slow down how long it takes you to do one. slow updates make people very nervous and they may request a refund/post a buyers beware/etc. if you know youre gonna take awhile, warn the commissioner beforehand, and make sure they're prepared to wait a bit

    6. branch out, use a ton of sites. imo amino makes a lot of money for you but only if you charge cheap, but i still get most of mine from there.

    7. think about if commissions are right for you. yeah, you make some nice extra cash, but is the stress/effort/work/time worth it for you? is dealing with people well a good trait of yours? are you patient? are you nice and polite? do you have a quick temper? do you respond quickly to others? can you remember to give updates and make sure everyones in the know? do you often get scared of denying someone and ghost them? these are just a few things you need in order to be able to sell commissions online well. some of these you will learn by doing this, but as someone who doesnt have anxiety, i dont have a lot of issues with these. dont get intimidated by this though; once you get into the hang of things and get a rhythm, you learn how to spot someone who might be trouble and plan accordingly

    8. CRITIQUE!!! allow and ask for art critique ALL THE TIME. your opinion and view of your art is very skewed. you hold yourself to high and low standards. you dont "know all the issues with your art". i thought i was pretty good a couple years ago, but now i can tell its not great. not bad, but not great. i didnt do thicker lines very well, the eyes are too large, they eye shading makes the eyes look flat (compared to an otherwise round style), the pose is pretty stagnant, the shading itself is kinda shaky, and the anatomy is just really off. all of this (hopefully) cleared out because of all the CRITIQUE i got. in only a couple years i improved a ton. its not luck or talent, just a lot of help and understanding how to draw more

    these are just a few things i can think of, theres probably more, if i remember more i'll post another reply

Dont look spoilers for end game























loki had like nothing to do with end game really but like there might be a Thor 4 and like BOIIIIIIIi and hes gonna have his own TV show and BOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
THIS BOI STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE THE THINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG AND OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH BOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII


lol so actual spoilerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr nowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>




So since cap was able to live out his life and be old but also the end game time line stayed that means loki will live out the infinity war time line and be dead BUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT since in the time line after stark and them messed with it loki was never full arrested and he snatched the tesseract so that means he would be running around in the same time line as the dead loki, Like cap did soooo that means there is going to be an oof with loki at some point either in thor 4 or his tv show???????????????????.

Hahhh, I finally drew her.
I'm really happy with how she turned out and I spent a long time getting it to look right.

A match for the Pewdiepie drawing I did!

It was really fun colouring the Icey backdrop inspired by their trip to Iceland. I could have been neater with the line art, but after 50+ layers, chicken paint was going to crash if I blurred it.

Lostfairy @ Thu Mar 14, 2019 5:59 am

Oh my goshhhhhhhh, this is GORGEOUS. THE COLORS. THE SHADING. THE SHINEEEEEEE. THE EVERYTHING.

I have no clue who this is but WOW, it’s truly beautiful!! Seriously, all of your art deserves to be featured and have a million likes. The detail you put in every piece is stunning. I have no idea how you do it. <333

Scatterdrop (Human Version)
by Swirlshine @ Fri Apr 19, 2019 1:17 pm [Reply]

IT'S MY GIRL! HUMANIZED! C:


Remember when I did one of these for Oliver? Well, the ever-amazing Lost gave me the idea today to do a Scatterdrop version! An image for her as a human popped up in my mind pretty quickly, and I apparently have gained the VERY temporary ability to draw a base in basically one try, so I was able to get this done in just a couple hours, wooooooo!

Anywho, DO YA LIKE HER? c: I don't know why, but I just instantly imagined her with this "golden" skintone, lighter-brown hair with a flower in it, and a yellow shirt, so I did all of that, XD! She's also got that little curl as a nod to her "hairstyle" as a cat! And the freckles were added in last minute - I think they're a nice touch! c:

I feel like, since Scatterdrop is obviously not a human name, the name Ava would be a good alternative for her as a person? the way I drew her... she just looks like an Ava, idk. XD!
Plus, the name is simple and sweet, and I think it suits my girl Scatterdrop pretty well! So Ava it is. C:


The timer's off - although I'm not sure by how much - and please don't steal my character (cat OR human form, XD) or my art in any way! Tysm, and have a great day/night everyone! <33

Rocky Road Raccoon @ Fri Apr 19, 2019 1:21 pm

Ohhh my gosh!! She's so stinkin' gorgeous as a human!! Everything about her is absolutely beautiful!! I especially looove her hair!! And her color pallet is amazinggg!! Wonderful job as always on this!! Seriously, I love her as a character so much- cat OR human, hehe <3
Also you're improving SO much with your art btw!!

JK341 @ Fri Apr 19, 2019 1:27 pm

Oh wow this is so awesome, friend! I do think that you captured her perfectly in human form. I agree, so much improvement so quickly! <3

Lostfairy @ Fri Apr 19, 2019 2:07 pm

Oh my wordddddddddddd. OH, IS SHE EVER DARLINGGGGGG?!!!!! I ADORE this! Honestly! You drew this whole thing so stinkin amazingly well!!! I love her hair and skintone, they suit her very well and look extremely well together! And that yellow! Ah! Golden skin and yellow LOOKS SO GOOOOD. ALSO. HER EXPRESSION. HOW DID YOU MAKE IT LOOK EXACTLY LIKE HER EXPRESSIONS AS A CAT??!!! ;-; It’s perfection, honestly.

Your art style is simply gorgeous - for human drawings and animal ones. <33

Now I totally wanna see Oliver and Scatterdrop together, ommm. ^-^

      WHO THE HECK INVENTED DREAMS AS HORRENDOUS AS THAT????????

Child of the Night
by Sharp Glimpse @ Sun Apr 28, 2019 4:41 am [Reply]

I hope this belongs in Intermediate. The timer is way off - I do a lot of multitasking. Tell me if I should remove the blood.

So this is my favorite character from the anime Hakuouki, Souji Okita in fury form. Here's an awesome song my sister Elentari wrote about him:

Child of the Night

There once was a boy who had a frozen heart
His soul encased in flame
He climbed to the rise
With demons in his eyes
And he grew and he burnished his name.

Clothed in crimson, eyes of poison green
Still as the serpent to strike
He turned his soul red
And faced the dark and said,
"I am the child of the night."

To the battle he sings
And his blade carves his wings
He's a storm burning from the inside
He is blood at his feet
Where the crossroads do meet
He is the child of the night.

Now the boy is a man on the other side of fate
Where voices of fury do call
He laughs as he dies
For demons cannot cry
And he fights and he fades and he falls.

For all that he holds
In the hollows of his soul
For a heart of steel may ignite
See his sword, bright and scarred
And remember in your heart
This child of the night.

I haven't seriously used this program in ages, but my gallery embarrasses me a lot so I want to put some stuff I can be proud in it for once.
