Requests, how do they work?
14 years ago
To avoid reposting how to do a request every time I stream I'll just leave this right here.
A request is similar, and yet all too different from a commission. A request is exactly what it sounds like, you're asking for a favor, that favor in this case is a drawing. Best part of it all, it's FREE! Commissions on the other hand are a paid service, and typically the more established artists start opening up and dedicated time to them.
I'm not too sure what system other artists have for requests. Mine are pretty informal, they do not require strictly visual references (meaning, you can just tell me what is what without pictures) so no worries if you don't have one although they help a lot. They are not limited to characters, it can be pretty much anything you can think of. You can leave this request practically anywhere that I'm going to see it. If I'm not streaming, leave a shout, send me a note, leave a comment. If I'm on a stream, feel free to drop one right in the middle of it (although I'd prefer to chat a little bit and just get to know a few tidbits about you before I get started, I like to put a bit of myself and the requester into the piece).
What I will not draw : trademarked characters, scat/poop, diaperfurs, or ponies (horses are fine however)
Commonly many artists do not prefer, or are sometimes offended when they are asked "hey can you draw like [insert random artist here]?", which I can understand how it can be insulting, since it undermines the artist, and their style.
Like I've said to my more active viewers during my sessions, I'm in a highly experimental phase, and the work you request can and will vary to a large degree. I could attempt to draw like someone else, but that's as much as you can ask of me, they're just attempts. It would take long hours, countless sessions of trying to mimic said artist, using the exact same hardware/software, looking at their influences, watching their streams religiously, etc,etc,etc. It would be daunting to begin with, and next to impossible to do repeatedly, for each style someone asks for.
What I can put out is limited to my mediocre drawing skills, whatever info you give me, and how much freedom you are allowing me. Keep in mind requests do not equal commissions.
You want something mind-blowing, in eye-raping detail? Be prepared to shell out a handful (a few popular artists can charge $500 upwards per piece, and don't get me started on auctions...put careful consideration into such commissions), and a good start would be in my watch list or my Favorite Artist section.
Otherwise, you're more than welcome to come back anytime and ask for a piece done just for the fun of it.
If I missed anything, or if you still have questions, feel free to post in the comments here.
