How to Commission an Artist

*ArynChris:iconArynChris: reports, November 16
A 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.

So now we've got the basics out of the way, we can get into the good stuff. And that is this short little buyer's guide for those of you new and just shopping. Every collector has their own version of this guide, and there are certain links that some would rather die then divulge, but this is a nice little link base for dolls and accessories that becomes general knowledge over time to most collectors, so I hope you can make the most of it.
