people that want commissions will E-mail me here: Hilldefrayne@hotmail.com I will give you my address for the purpose of money shipment when you give me your own, whether it be E-mail or home address.

if you decide to discuss commissions through a note or comment I will not reply.

for traditional artwork I will need an address to mail it to, the 50% of what is owed is sent first, then I will give you a preview of your picture along with WIPs of it as I go along if you desire. when the work is finished I will ship it and the commissioner will pay the rest of what is owed.

I will NOT use paypal, money order check only. (my dad is still iffy on it.)

Digital commissions will be emailed in a PNG format. the format can be changed if desired so by the commissioner. Email address is required

Glad to see you're considering commissions. Here's some things I learned to get started.

1. Don't undervalue yourself. You put a lot of work into your drawings, so you deserve the money.
2. Put some thought into the expenses of art supplies, printing, and shipping.
3. When shipping, remember to consider that mail might get lost. So make sure the service you are going to use is reliable (it is also good to let potential customers know what the mailer is), and think up of a plan to replace lost mail, if you can.
4. Speaking of plans, make sure you write out a term of service document to make it clear of your rules, such as content allowed, way of payment, termination of service by customer, etc. It doesn't have to be long (like how I did it), but it should be kept simple for the convenience of the reader.
5. For digital prints, you can always give the option to either send via email so the customer can print it themselves, or to print the image and ship it yourself.
6. Remember that even buyers are weary of scams, and may shy away if the artist says they only accept payment before the work. There is always the option of going 50/50, where they can pay half firsthand then pay the rest after the work is finished.
7. Speaking of payment, it is best to have the total paid off before shipping.

All of these may help, but it is entirely up to you as to how you want things to work out, and if you feel comfortable doing things a certain way.

Give out like 5 freebies...then the people who take them well help spread the word.

I had a furry friend to begin with who commissioned me. Then I did 5 freebies.

To be honest some of your art needs a little work with things like shape and form but I could redline or critique you if you wanted.

I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.
