Ok, so, I just recently commissioned somebody...and after seeing how they did everything (not the art) I uh...I'm just gonna post a list of Do's and don'ts.


Commission Do's/Don'ts

1. Do Be Polite to your client, Don't be rude/snippy to them (even if they get on your nerves)

2. Do send them wip's, so they know how it is going. Don't do the whole thing at once, then get mad when they ask you to change something.

3. Do link the commissioner to the finished piece. Don't expect them to search through your gallery everyday for it.

4. Do make sure to ask lots of questions about what they want. Don't just go off of vague information.

5. Do re-dos for them (small, not huge ones) Don't refuse to edit the work at all (they are nice enough to commission you for art)

6. Do work on the commission whenever you can, Don't procrastinate!

7. Do request a fraction of the payment, if the commissioner doesn't like the commission at all. Don't let them walk away scott-free!

8. Do try to do the art to the best of your ability, Don't half-ass it because you're lazy

9. Do allow them to use the art off of DA (with proper credit) Don't be a stingy asshole, and not allow them to post the commission anywhere else.

10. Do have a list of all of your pricing info/commission rules, Don't make it up as you go along!

***11. (Again) DO be polite to your commissioner, DON'T be rude to them, even if they can be a bit difficult!***



Well, hope this helped :P
