Heyo I’m not dead. Anyways I’m following up that ‘Artist Recommendation’ thing I posted. I’m going to start with a cluster of my favorites who I repeatedly commission or create art I really enjoy. If this works out well I’ll come back and do it again for more that I have commissioned. Also if I mentioned you and you feel like I left out a vital piece of info, didn’t get something right, please do let me know so I can correct it. Working from my own memory is a treacherous thing. Also also if you weren’t mentioned but feel like you should be, I intend to write more of these, 4 is all I could do at once.

#1  Munks Munks - http://www.furaffinity.net/user/munks

If you pay attention to my uploads at all you’ll notice he accounts for a good 50% of them. From the very lewd to the more story type pieces, I have immensely enjoyed every single one. His style is rather unique and it is one I have fallen in love with and can’t get enough of. Munks does not shy away from topics and always seems to be challenging himself to grow; looking for new poses, subjects to draw, etc. He is so very friendly to work with and must be the Flash’s alter ego because he can finish up a well-done piece in a blink. Occasionally streaming, most of the art flow is a sketch sent for approval followed up with the completion. In terms of price, the art is well worth what you are paying for.

Munks opens for commissions every Wednesday (wink wink that’s tomorrow)

#2  Salkitten Salkitten - http://www.furaffinity.net/user/salkitten
Those of you who are still reading will now see the other 50%. Salkitten has an immense range in terms of subject and method of drawing, though my favorite are their painted pieces. I’ve been a fan of Sal from way back when I first joined the site and have seen everything from animation, to visual novels, funny little doodles, beautiful paintings, and more come from them. Working with Sal is always a pleasure, as they are so polite and flexible when it comes to commissioner request. They often stream commissions as well so they can be worked on and adjusted live. Like the prior, I hold the thought that any art from Sal is so worth it.

Sal opens for commissions through journals; the type of commission can vary though

#3  akitamonster Akitamonster - http://www.furaffinity.net/user/akitamonster
Moving on, we have Akitamonster. They do stunning scenery commissions, for a steal. Due to the high volume of demand for their art, the process of commissioning them is a little different. They open a huge list of current commissioners and waitlisted clients, working through one by one. Rather than charge by quality, they charge by the hour for the level of finish the art gets. The wait is nothing compared to receiving the finished piece. The backgrounds are gorgeous and the shading is incredible. While communication is a bit brief, just due to the scale of how many people commission this artist, they are still pleasant to talk details over with.


#4  SolarByte SolarByte - http://www.furaffinity.net/user/solarbyte/

To wrap this short list up, we have SolarByte. I love commissioning them (and I really should again), as they are so full of energy and enthusiastic when talking out details. It really helps that we both share a huge interest in Pokemon, which is often the subject of the commissions I grab from them. One of the top things when it comes to SolarByte is their use of color. It is so vibrant and full of life in all the pieces that come to mind. Talking commissions over with them is so involved on both sides, and always leads to great art. I believe they are open for commissions right now so you should get over there.

So that’s that! Of course, I only listed 4 and there are many more I could write about, so if you want more lemme know. If you have recommendations of your own please give them to me as well!
