I'd say go for it, your skills are amazing. Take it slow and set rules as you go though, so you can feel a little in control of the artwork that you'll have to dish out for cash.

Thank you for the information. I don't want to overwhelm myself so I have to work on all the info first xD

Just take it slow. No need to make a whole TOS in the beginning for this sort of thing without any experience to base it off of. Don't delay your desire to make cash, but don't take on too much in the beginning. And always think before you make moves so people won't put you in uncomfortable situations. Especially if you live in a circumstance where the art that you make could get you in some trouble and especially if you're drawing kid characters.

Thank you for the information ill keep all of that in mind! C:

I think LittleNora gave some good advice. Though one thing about the TOS is that while some giant complex one like what a lot of the really popular artists have isn't necessarily necessary, there are probably some key things that should be established beforehand. Granted I'm pretty new to the furry scene and I don't know a lot about hand drawn art, but I have worked a lot with professional photographers and graphic designers. I think the big three areas to touch on would be:

- Pricing guidelines. Even if it's just a ballpark figure, it puts everyone on the same page as far as expectations go. It also helps avoid hurt feelings all around, e.g. if someone asks for a complex background and then finds out it costs more for that.

- When payment is expected and by what means. That way you don't finish a piece for someone and then find out they wanted to mail you a postdated check or something stupid like that.

- And the really important one: Usage guidelines. Can people repost it with credit? Do you care where they repost it? Can they modify it? Some artists are really sensitive about that kind of thing whereas others couldn't care less, so it's nice to know beforehand. It would be pretty awkward to finish a piece for someone, close the transaction, then find out they were planning on doing something with it you didn't want them to do but hadn't actually said not to before starting the work.


Even if it's just a few sentences (e.g. "here's a list of examples and their prices. I expect half up front and half on completion via paypal. You can post your commissioned piece anywhere, but please get my permission first if you want to modify it"), it's something you'll be really happy you had in the unlikely event a dispute ever arises.

Thank you for the extra info! Im actually going to start with something small such as grab bags just to get a basic idea of what im going to be doing. C:

Your amazing so it'd be a good idea

Ah thank you! C:
