how do you do commissions in deviant art?
hi i'm a really talented artist when it comes to anatomy and manga cartoon artist
im best at anatomy and have an eye for art deco and Nouveau styles
but im really having a hard time finding out how to start commission work online
I'm thinking about posting them on deviantart.com but before i do i would like to know some safe ways to receive payments. any thoughts?
as an artist myself, on deviantart you post a journal stating that you're accepting commissions. that's it. you could also advertise, or host a contest with a commission as a prize to help get your name out there. commissions are generally slow in arriving, so don't freak when you don't get commissions.
safe ways to receive payment?
via check or money order. they make a deposit before you begin work. when the check clears, you begin. when you've finished, you post a picture of the finished piece (with watermark) and you let them know the balance is due. They send you the balance. After the balance clears the bank, you mail them the original.
Remember that it usually takes at least a week for the check to clear, even if it posts right away. Your bank will hit you with the bounced check fee after pulling the amount out of your account, if the check bounces. Also, if at that point there is an overdraft, you'll get hit with that too... so a little patience is your friend.
