How to Commission an Artist
*ArynChris
reports, November 16
reports, November 16A comprehensive guide to commissioning, based on my personal experiences and observations. This guide does not address hosting contests, nor does it specifically address the unique challenges of commissioning through specific websites, though some typical scenarios are mentioned in passing. Topics include choosing the artist, why it's important to make sure you can afford it, how to contact the artist, payment, what WIPs are and why you might want to see them, and legal rights of both parties. Legal rights are discussed at the beginner level and are NOT in depth here.

DeviantArt turns out to be an artsite!
=Talescaper
reports, March 26, 2007
reports, March 26, 2007So if you are not an artist, kindly leave.
If you like art, if you are interested in what other people make, fine. If you are a beginning artist, who wants to create and learn how to express and communicate and feel through the medium of your choice, this is the right place. We are all here to learn and we all started out staggering, falling and nobody made a masterpiece first time trying.
But if you are here because your friends are here, because you feel that having an account on this site makes you cool and coolness is all you really care about, don't bother. Most people will hate you, ignore you, or on a bad day, yell at you.
And if your idea of art is pressing 'print screen' while playing your over-merchandised computergame, or applying a photoshop-filter to your webcam photo, don't bother. We; which means I and the other people reacting in a positive way to this article, do not want you here at all. If we could, we would personally delete your account. And preferably disable your connection to the internet. If it were in our power, we would throw you out of your parents' basement so you could finally enjoy some sunlight.
Don't get me wrong, we would love to teach you how to become an artist, because that is what this site is about. But first you must understand that this site is not about how many pageviews you have. Not even about how many people yelled "LOL" as a comment to your 'deviation'. And it is certainly not about having a big friendslist as a compensation for underdeveloped reproductive organs.
Once you've got that down...

I love you.
Don't get me wrong, but...I never understand this pageviews thingy :/
And something else, if you want to become an artist, yes people from deviantART can teach you how to do it, as many people gave me advices about how to improve a photo i took e.t.c.
But if you want to be an artist and a good one, doesn't matter if you are new or not, stop coping ideas from other people! Art means you do/make something new and creative and do not repeat others ideas, or I'm wrong?
And no, is no so prototype to take another 'typical' photograph or drawing another anime char
