PayPal. No one's going to pay for a patreon subscription to you.

I know that.

I mean, I know that probably if I open a Patreon no ones want to subscribe me, but my question was about the better platform.

>>3204195
>I don't know if is better use Paypal or Patreon

>What did he mean by this?

I mean, which one has lowest fees, which one offer better support, which one has few limitations at moment of pay or get the money, etc.

That doesn't make any sense Patreon runs on subscriptions. People have to subscribe to you for you to get the money, and for at least a month because billing happens then. It's like comparing apples to oranges when it comes to "platforms". Also PayPal is just a way to send and transfer money. Not really a "platform" Are you sure you're old enough to have monetary transactions anon?

Look, I know that I aren't good as other artist, but either considered myself bad. I see other artist that have a lot of problems, and probably they draw worst than me, but they make commissions and people pay them, so at least I wanna try.

You're missing the point you don't use patreon to take commissions in the first place. You use it to gain subscribers for content you produce. It's not a "commissioning" "platform". You don't take commission on it.

>>3204231
Dont worry OP lots of bad artists make money

you just have to do something with what u have

>>3204226
>Are you old enough?

Yep, I'm, maybe I just am retarded.

I'm new in all this, and I tend to confuse some concepts, for this reason I'm asking.

Op you have 6 followers on Twitter and 3 followers on deviant art. I'm also pretty sure you're too young to be on the board. There's no reason to have a patreon.

>>3204245
Yea patreon is for subscriptions use PayPal for commissions. Patreon... It's basically a way to support an artist while getting perks. Look into sending invoices on PayPal.

>>3204246

I have more followers in deviant art, and I'm 22 years old already.

>>3204255
No you don't, but at least you're old enough. Anyways moral of the story is use PayPal for commissions.

>>3204253

My confusion maybe is because some people that I follow use the rewards like a form of commission, they put a price for something (one video, draw or similar), the other people pay that price, but stop the monthly payment once they get what they want.

A shitty form of use Patreon desu.

Are you Fek or some other butthurt furry?

Fek actually puts out work people want to see. I will concede that the 3D game he's working on is way too ambitious for an amateur to take on, leading to a fucking buggy piece of crap, but he works at least.

>>3204237
Fek is not a bad artist. He's decent and I got off countless times on his games.

>>3204255
you should worry in improve your skills, really, instead of wanting money already. Your art is a joke, and you are a 22 years male. There are 13 years old girls doing better than you. They would laught at you. You should be ashamed.

I know, I must learn a lot of things and better things like anatomy, color palette, shading and other stuff.

But right now I need money, is not like I thought gain all these money with my ugly draws, but at least I wanted to try it.

>>3204730

Then get a regular job if you need money and focus on improving in your free time. You are not yet good enough to take on commissions.

>>3204749

You're right Anon, maybe I just was a lot pretentious with this post, or at least how I wrote it. I'm really bad communicating my ideas, sometimes I don't write all that I must write and people can missinterpreted what I say.

I know that my draws lacks about a lot of things, and comparate with others artist that make commissions, my draws are pretty ugly. But some people (two or three) asked me commissions, I was happy and very exited, for this reason I opened this thread, how ever, my poor redaction and don't thinking what I write to answer others Anons make me sound like a retarded (and probably I am).

Well, this was an innecessary apologize and maybe the better was die this thread in peace, but I felt that I must do it.

btw, I'll keep improviding my draws.

Stop being such a bitch and start researching. I'll give you some genuine advice but you need to do the fucking leg work. If you want to make commissions for money, look for platforms that facilitate that. Just fucking Google art commissions, find some platforms and start signing up. Currently I'm seeing a spike in d&d character art commissions so that might be an angle to use. Next, make some pricing and time ranges, you should rather shoot lower then higher, you can raise you price when you stop having the time to complete everything and have some recommendations and reviews.

Then you can start networking, look for threads on reddit or wherever and start dropping your link.

Also, for the love of God, re-read everything you write before sending it to potential costumers. Get your friends or family to read over your profile since you seem to have some low scale autism when it comes to communicate yourself.
