1. I always ask for a high-res version if one exists. When pictures are uploaded to FurAffinity, there are often compression artifacts. While a FA version sent via dropbox is acceptable, a high res version that can be used as a desktop background or suchlike is always appreciated.

2. I say anything over 3000px is high res.

3. For yours, I'd probably say 3000px too.

I'll add a +1 to this.

I agree.

I would prefer the high res

As for sizes..idk I'm not good with sizes o.o

I prefer high res, would say typically that's about 3k? Don't know about the last one tho ;;

I prefer the high resolution partially because it feels like I've got this exclusive version that's just mine. Call it a bit greedy maybe...


As for the rest? I'm not quite certain to be honest.

I also prefer getting a high res copy of the picture, anything about 3k pixels I'd say is high res. I think, not very good with that sort of thing.

1. When you commission an artist, do you expect a high res version of the art, or is the FA size acceptable? Yes, because of FA conversion/compression artifacts, and the inability to print for yourself.
2. What pixel size do you consider to be the typical "high res" size? 3000px long side
3. What's the smallest size you'll accept as "high res" for my quality of art? 2500px long side

I prefer getting a high-res size picture as well. Maybe for getting a print someday, or just, as aforementioned, for that exclusive feel. It's also fun to stare at a life-size furry belly-button. >.>
For the sizes themselves I found that a common agreement is on 'as big as you worked'. At least when it comes to digital stuff. Downsizing is always possible. Upsizing not so much.

I prefer getting a picture in the original resolution (without a watermark, if applicable).

For high rez it depends on the artist, but generally anything over 2k pX on the long edge is what I consider high rez.

If the artist worked in a lower resolution, then I'm happy with that file, but if the artist worked in high resolution, then that's the file I expect to receive privately.

1. When you commission an artist, do you expect a high res version of the art, or is the FA size acceptable?
-Always, to me there's no point commissioning small files since they can't be printed out or used as a wallpaper. Unless it's a really small and cheap pic like an icon.

2. What pixel size do you consider to be the typical "high res" size?
-3000px to 5000px

3. What's the smallest size you'll accept as "high res" for my quality of art?
-Depends on the contents of the drawing, for a typical pinup I'd say 2000px on shortest side.

1: I pretty much always ask for a high-resolution of the image. I feel like it's a part of commissioning the art; that I should at least have access to the highest resolution available of it.

2: Just whatever size the artist worked on it as, really. If the artist works at a low resolution (Rare, but some do) then it's all good; it is what it is.

3: I can't really say for sure on this, to be honest. I admittedly feel a little cheated if I'm given a high-resolution that's smaller than the actual resolution of the image. (I'm weird like that, I know...) Technically anything that's larger than the web-version could be considered "High resolution", but my general preference is to have the highest resolution available.

I feel like I'm acting like an entitled shit putting it all this way... >-> But it's honestly kinda how I feel about it... I've paid a lot of money on commissions in the past, and just kinda feel like it's only fair to get full access to the image (non-commercially, of course) for what I've paid.

1. Depends on the art but yeah normaly i expect an higher res picture then the Fa one , for me its part of the commission , i want to get something not everyone gets aside from my idea beeing drawn .

2. Normaly what was made by the artist before it gets compressed for other sources , normaly 1200X upwards .

3. This one really depends on the theme of the picture , take a macro picture with lots of small stuff and you would expect a rather big picture . On character pictures i would only expect something around 1200 .

1. High res is always better and greatly appreciated imo. FA size isn't bad, but isn't the greatest either for sure.

2. Depends on the commission type. Something small like an icon 500x500 and up is usually good, but a full illustration should probably be 2000x2000 and up (generally). No idea what artists usually work with, but maybe the ''working'' res (res of the image when it's being created) should be the given high res?

3. I don't think one's art quality really changes what high res should be. See 2.
