>>5696919unrelated but here is some advice if you are looking for an artist to comission:
- Most artists only have experience in 1 style. So if you hire, let's say, a furry because he makes good pics to make illustrations for your childrens book. The skill of making cool furries won't translate well into that.
- Their worst illustration in their portfolio is likely to be the quality of your comission.
- Serious artists will have a sheet of terms and conditions you need to sign or agree in order to work with them. That's ok but you should also have your conditions.
- If you don't know the artist, or the artist doesn't seem professional, never pay 50% upfront. Try negotiating much lower like 20%. In real life only trusted professionals get paid that much upfront.
- When asking for corrections be mindful of the extremely fragile artist ego.
