I figured you'd like that :3

Would you ever consider doing a shirt for somebody as a commission?

JUST CURIOUS

Yyyyyeah that's really uncool, and actually illegal. Be careful what sort of advice you spread around, dude.

Even then, it's illegal on a few fronts and it's not just the artist that suffers. When you commission something, you don't actually own the rights to it. What you've paid for is the time to have it created. It's a service. Most artists consider it granted that they would give a copy of the full res file to the person who commissioned them to make that image, and most consider it granted that they would also give them permission to post it on their online profiles or galleries, but even those are not considered part of the price paid for the commission. They're a gift, an afterthought. Even though it's the norm, and not doing that would be a bit morally distasteful, from a legal standpoint it isn't necessary.

Most people also won't be upset if you print out your copy at home and put it on your wall. But when you take a commissioned image to a printing company to have it printed, whether it is on a shirt, or as a poster, or just on normal printer paper, you are stating to that company that you either own the rights to the image, or you have permission to print and use it from the person who does. If you don't, and they are made aware of it, they won't print that image for you because they legally aren't allowed to do so. If you don't have the rights or permissions and they print it anyway, they can be legally confronted by the artist, as well as you.

So like I said, most artists within our community don't care, yeknow? It's not a big deal to most of them unless there is a profit being made. But it is still illegal, and it still infringes on their rights, so you should always ask them in advance. Most would even be willing to put up your design on RedBubble or Society6, or a similar site if you ask them, which also allows them to ensure that you are getting a quality print and representing their work as well as possible. c:

I don't think we should hide the comment, because you weren't being malicious or anything, and I think it's a really good opportunity to explain why it's so critical to get permission. It's a perfect example!

ABSOLUTELY. If you want it to just be exclusive to you, I would charge you for the image like any other commission, then put it up on RedBubble or Society6 for you, and take it down once you had bought your shirt so others wouldn't buy it. I believe RedBubble even has a private posting option, but I'd need to double check.
If it's a design you're okay with me leaving up for others to purchase, and it's something marketable and "safe" for me to sell as one of my other designs, with credit to you for the idea, I would be happy to give you a considerable discount on the commission!

That's how I would handle it, anyway. So if you're ever interested at any point down the road, shoot me a note! :D

I'LL KEEP THAT IN MIND thank you c:

Though I don't really have any ideas for what I'd like on a shirt myself (at least not around now, I'd be interested in the future) I was asking mostly out of interest! I didn't see anywhere where it said you do custom ones BUT YOU SHOULD LIKE

DO A SHEET

or summink

YEAH I SHOULD. It's something people might be interested in, you're right.

I've been considering doing some designs like that! Thank you for your feedback!
I'll work on a few "furry friendly" shirt designs. :D

I'd love to do a fox, kind of leaning against an implied wall or a corner, in a nice hoodie with some headphones, just hangin' out. I've wanted to do that for a while now, so perhaps this is a good opportunity to make it happen! :D

My sister loves monkeys. I should get her one of these :o When next I has monies :>

Awww <3 You are too sweet.

My little brother is really into monkeys too, and he's talking about buying one. Ahaha~ MONKEYS EVERYWHERE.

I am best big brother :D One who buys little sister creepy monkey apparel.
