How this group works for Artists
The general idea is to have your work displayed alongside other artists. A potential commissioner who saw an uploaded price map from the front page, or who followed another artist's link to this page may browse the gallery and see your work as well. Your art might be exactly what they are looking for.

Twice a month, guides which are about to expire but are underappreciated (have less than a certain amount of views, but the art is otherwise good), will be pimped in a journal.

There is sometimes an ad, depending on interest in purchasing frames.

Check out this journal here, "Mosa's Amazing Guide on How to Submit Your Price Sheet": http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/2932545/

It is 100% FREE to have your pricemap posted in this gallery, though there are pay/donation services that will extend what the group can do for you. Please see the "Pay/Donation Services" journal.

To qualify:
You must be an artist of some sort. Artist is a broad term, but in this case meaning anybody who creates and has custom work they are offering to sell. An artist can be a cartoonist, painter, sculptor, fursuit builder, craft maker, musician, writer, etc. As long as you have an artistic skill and do custom work, you can advertise here.
Artists must have a graphical price map that shows a good representation the types of work you offer, along with your prices. I also accept guides made in flash as long as you supply the thumbnail for the submission.

You must not have a poor reputation. If you've been posted about on Artists_Beware LJ, the dispute(s) must be resolved in your favor. If you have a public place for commissioner reviews (an FA journal works well for this), this helps your credibility. If you are found to be consistently taking money without completing your work within an appropriate time, and your commissioners need to resort to putting you on Artists_Beware, then you cannot use this service.

(Added Nov 27,2011) A shitty attitude about customers is sometimes worse than not being reliable for the work. If you end up on A_B or word gets out that you verbally abuse your customers, whether to their faces or behind their back, especially when they have done nothing to deserve it, I cannot promote you.

You should include this group's icon in your profile or journal header/footer. Not doing so tends to defeat the purpose of the group, which is to promote ourselves and others.

Pricemaps that contain adult content must be censored sufficiently, or they will be posted as mature or adult rated, which will limit your audience.

How this works for buyers
There's a distinct lack of any sort of commissions promotion on FA aside from an artist throwing down $20 for an ad. If you need a specific piece of art done and are looking for a certain style, you're restricted to those artists you already know, those who have ads up, or those you happen to stumble upon on the front page or elsewhere on the internet. It's almost random chance, and there are lots of really good artists on FA who either cannot or do not want to pay for adspace.

The gallery on this account is a free directory for artists who do commissions. Browse around and find someone you like, or watch this account for new price guides directly to your inbox.

Other Submissions
If anyone wishes to make their pricemap a template available for other artists to use to create their own, send a note to this account with the subject line "Pricemap template", and I'll put it in scraps.

If you have written, or want to write an article related to the business of furry commissioning, either from the artist's perspective, or the buyers, or any other useful information or experience you might have, please submit it via note, and upon review and acceptance, I'll post it as a journal.
