I know I like seeing them streamed so I can request edits on the fly, if the artist's okay with it anyway.

That's a pretty big benefit to it too, so there's that.

Personally I'm of the opinion that streaming generally makes it easier for one to keep on task with work, which of course can include commissions so if you feel up to it then I'd say go for it! I'd be glad to watch you stream my commission, or just to watch in general because it's fun to talk with people while seeing arts get done. -A-

Yeah, it's alot easier to focus on a task when people are watching your every move. It can be a bit tough finding time to set-up is the down-side to that.

And duly noted on that!

Please, PLEASE do stream commissions, Dufel. Not only does it mean that it is much easier for us to make easy modifications and things along those lines, but it also means that people like me (who've wanted a commission from you for so long, but your slots fill up so fast!) can get them much easier. Consider the following:

If someone is on Picarto or Livestream, for instance, and they want to keep their commission secret? Chances are, they could just change their name to something not-them to surprise people when they release it as who they are - which is honestly something I've never seen.

If you do first-come, first-serve commission streams (barring someone who would, say, abuse that to get 50 commissions from you before anyone else could), then you will find your workload pressure lessens significantly, there is more spontaneity, and it's a good deal fairer for those of us not updating our furaffinity every five seconds so that they can get in a slot when yours fills in in two minutes.

I highly recommend roulette-wheel style streams, too. This adds even more spontaneity and a sense of risk (even though nothing is being risked) and fun into streams. You can also be creative with it - my favored artist at the moment does 'smash streams' in which they have viewers place bets on what fighter would win in a Smash Bros. Melee tournament and the one who wins gets the commission.

Just...just stream! Just DO IT.

That is one way of making that random yeah. The biggest problem I have with that is that it's harder to reject commissions I don't really want to do in that situation, plus managing commissions in a stream is a different kind of pressure I would think.

I do like the roulette-wheel idea though, even if it's not used in a stream. Tbh my only intent was to just stream commissions I've already taken rather than take them during streams, but I'll give it some thought.

I do /believe/ you are in a good enough position when it comes to having a huge following that you could simply warn people beforehand 'if it isn't something I'm interested in doing, I won't do it.' I'd imagine it would be fair to give someone two shots at giving you an idea, perhaps? Otherwise, simply spinning the wheel again.

I will be interested and I will approve to have my commission streamed :)

Personally I have to say that I enjoy both for the qualities each offer. In-stream commissions can be fun for the immediacy and getting to see the art come to life in front of you, but it's really a matter of what the artist feels comfortable with. If you feel up for them, then I'd totally be down to see it.

I would love to see you stream! ^w^

Sounds like a wonderful idea!

I love streams! I really do! I have already seen some of my favourite artists on here get into streaming, and it will be awesome if you get into the streaming business too ^^

It has its benefits for sure but yeah asking if the commissioner is okay with it is probably the right way to go.

I'm of the mindset where I could take or leave streaming. I often have work hours that clash with artist's stream times, so I rarely get to see anybody working on something I've paid for. However, when I'm the one doing the streaming, I find productivity increases cause I have those watchful eyes of the viewers to keep my easily distracted brain in check. It certainly has more benefits than setbacks, I can say that much.
