BINGO

Since this post will be current until January, thought I'd be salty/have fun with it. Let's see if we get Bingo, shall we?

Re: OC commissions

(Anonymous) 2021-11-24 07:59 pm (UTC)(link)
ive bought around 40+ commissions of a furry OC. no idea on the kind of OC you have, but one of the challenges i'd face would be with artists' limitations on character types. a notable amount of artists draw FR dragons for FR currency, but require RL currency for everything else.

outside of that, it can sometimes be a bit hit or miss with timelines. professional artists with good time-management and dedicated progress tracking apps like trello usually take USD exclusively, given their skills, time commitment, and marketability. the more casual artists on FR sometimes require a bit of poking or checking in to make sure that the work is completed.

in general i recommend only commissioning artists who have offsite contacts or galleries. it lets you get a better feel for their art style and if they stop using FR it gives you a contact for a check-in or refund. ive had a few commissions done by people who left the site after i paid, leaving me with nothing.
