Welcome to the Directory

To business!

So I've noticed how many people continually are asking for others to "price" their art. And I've also noticed how confusing it can be on the Art Commissions forum. I'm sure you have too. To help others a little bit, I've come up with an idea to write a directory {a list} of artists who will draw things for others for a price {naturally}. Here is the preview of what it might end up looking like:

Here is the basic structure:

For Fursonas and Personas:

Artist: RandomUsernameHere

Style: Semi-realistic. I work with GIMP and a Bamboo. 

Quality of art: [insert link to where others can view samples of my art]

Price: I generally like to be payed anywhere between 1mil-5mil depending on what I'm drawing, how much time and effort I put in, and the finished product. I'll also accept Creatu of the same value.

Not Satisfied: If you're not satisfied, I'll give you half your TU back. 

Contact me: My commissions thread can be found here. [link]

Status: Accepting all commissions.


Arist: AnotherRandomUsernameHere

Style: Realistic. I work with pencils. 

Quality of art: [random link to samples here]

Price: I price by how much time I put into it. You pay me 500k for every hour I work on it, not including the time I don't {naturally}. I only take pure TU.

Not Satisfied: If you're not satisfied, sorry. Since I put so much time in, I'm keeping the TU I get. 

Contact me: Through rmail please. 

Status: Not accepting at the moment.

For Banners:

Artist: Username2001

Style: I generally draw whatever needs to be put on the banner, or I get pictures from {list of sources here}. Add whatever you feel important here...

Basic Frame: Here is usually what my banners end up looking like. [insert link to sample]

Price: I'll take 500k per banner, or a creatu or item of the same value. Pay me more if you feel like it. 

Not Satisfied: If you're not satisfied, I'll give you all your TU back. And sorry. D;

Contact me: I'm on the sb all the time, but if you can't find me there here's the link to my art commissions thread: [link here]

Status: Accepting.


For Adoptables:

Artist: RandomUsername3000

Style: Cartoon-ish.

Price: 100k each. Pure TU, either that or a seasonal egg. :O

Link to my adoptables: [insert link here]

Not Satisfied: If you're not satisfied, I'll give you 50k.

Contact me: Rmail, sb... Here's the link to my commissions thread: [link]

Status: Accepting.


Did that make sense?

Because that's basically how I want it to be structured if this idea comes around and ends up working. 

Basically, if you wanted to be on this directory, all you'd have to do is rmail me and fill out one {or all} or these forms, depending on what you do. And I would put you in the directory. 

There is no ENTRY FEE to get in. At least not yet. If you think there should be, feel free to tell me. 

What's in it for you?

A way for other people to see you. You're being advertised to the world of Res. Also, it helps other people know whose art and which styles they like the most. Also, for all you artists who are wondering how to price something, the directory would be a way to compare your quality vs. price to other artists.  

SO.

Please. If you are the least bit interested, rmail me or post something on this thread. Questions, comments, concerns. 

Have anything to add to this idea? Something to make it better? Please put those ideas here, so I may see them.

This would be very practical, and I would definitely post my art/threads on something like this. Very well structured.

Thank you, I'm glad you like the idea. :) Let's see if a couple more people will get interested.

It could work, but many of res's artists don't take commissions all the time, like me..so I wouldn't be able to join the directory unless it was labeled as "rmail for availability"  type of thing. o3o

But other than that, I like it.

... Hence why I decided to add "Status" as part of it. You can say whether or not you're accepting all commissions, just some, or none at all. 

Thank you. ^^

This would definitely be useful, and pretty fun too. c: I'd prob'ly join, if only for the helping people price aspect. I won't have time to do full-on commissions until like, winter break. xD

Ah, hurrah! I'm glad people seem to like this idea. ^^ Like I said, you can say in your status when you accept commissions, or if you're simply not available for a while. 

Would we post it here on the Artist Studio, or in the commissions forum?

I think here would be better. There's so much action in the Art Commissions that the thread might be pushed down faster. I dunno.

Oh yeah. That would be a problem. Here then. Should I keep the ti
tle the same? The Artist's Pricing Directory?

... Or perhaps I should just make it "The Artist's Directory".

I like the Artists Directory (if it's..personal? Well, if it is the apostrophe goes after the s /slaps self) because it's not just about pricing, it's also about finding the artists. I dunno.

I think that this is a great idea though, and it would be awesome to see it implemented! Of course, it would have to be updated pretty frequently, since the art forum is changing so much so quickly...I dunno. XD

It would have to be updated frequently. I think I could do that though. I could at least update it daily. And I could probably do more. XD

And all the artists can update their post every time that their commissions/adoptables change! :D
I can't wait for this thread to be made! :P
