Got a question to artists (any type)
2 years ago
i was tempted not to write this, but maybe someone else might find it useful.
How does one ask for art without looking like a freeloader? i mean i get the feeling it's almost taboo to bring this up, but i decide to ask anyways. i understand that art takes time, and paid customers take priority. the only reason i'm doing this in a journal because then i'm not just asking one artist on the spot about this, which i feel would be awkward, and taking time out of their schedules to answer a silly question, so this allows people to answer in their own time.
Some might say the answer to this "Don't, how dare you ask that?", and probably block because of the ask.
Obviously don't hound people, no is no, look at people's profiles at they even taking requests, all the good stuff.
I think i have cover all my bases, here goes nothing.
Sincerely,

Honestly idk how to answer this but I can say I'd shouldn't hurt to ask people. I can understand artist points on art takes time commissions are priority and people can get upset or offended by this. My list is clear I do trades commissions and free art depending on situations.
My art is traditional

If you have a request I am open to it
if youre lucky enough to get direct chat talk with them about your interests and their interests . then you can do a little cheeky manipulation like complementing their skills and what not. the more you marinate the better. it must sound like their idea not yours.
once you have them convinced to do a thing, you might be able to convince them to do a certain character. oh look ! lucky you ! i happen to have the perfect OC for this..
