This is so stupid. Why not be open for work all the time instead of only when you're about to die of starvation?

>> No.3343185

NGL, it's a really BAD idea to try and survive on commissions. I see a lot of artists with mediocre art trying to make a living off of it- and this is really rude to say probably but, they probably shouldn't be selling art at their skill level. I mean unless they market really well....but their idea of marketing is literally using pity to get people to buy things. This is where emergency commissions come in.....

Calling it an emergency commission and attaching a person sob story / money problems to it is basically an admission that you DON'T have a skill you are known for that is marketable, or at least that there is no demand for it.

>> No.3343612

what a bunch of whiney fags

- t. survives on commissions alone

last time I posted art anywhere or updated my portfolio was many years ago . although now i'm wondering how much more i'd be making if i was a shameless bitch and just spammed my pityharvesting everywhere due to a complete lack of self-awareness

A pessimistic view on life is superior:
either you're right or can be positively suprised.

Harsh but true. Most of these artists only ever do $40 OC/fanart commissions for random people. It's fine as a supplementary income, but not something to live off. They have no professional skill to offer companies, so instead they rely on building a false sense of familiarity that can then be exploited. If an artist constantly blogs about how hilariously inept and/or unhappy they are - that's probably the reason why.

The only problem with most self-professed pessimists is they use it as an excuse not to try instead of trying and not caring about failure.

Once the due date rolled they were perfectly fune and then a month later they did the exact same shit again and then a month after that until it just became routine

Announcements like these are just a great filter to figure out who you should never commission. Unreliable, non professional kids.
