So...I'm not exactly well-versed on how to find someone who can do an artwork commission (free or paid). But lately, I've really been wanting to get some kind of art (or arts) of my Xaela. And before the "go Google it" replies start, I have done that. Unfortunately, it's not really bringing up too many relevant results. Any suggestions on where to look? Or maybe there's an artist here who can really do something nice to get Kaiva in art form.
I want my Au Ra drawn -_-

My advice is to post a thread on Reddit (FFXIV Section) and ask it there, I think you will find an artist alot faster this way, another way is to check sites that host the artists work (Deviantart) and send the ones that you like an message. I wish you alot of luck.

Drawing always come at a price, you better be prepared. Simple line could be between $10-$20, but a complete dawing could go higher than $70.

08-21-2017, 10:29 PMSennWish I could price my stuff that high. Had someone tell me my stuff wasn't even worth $15 just the other day. :^(Quote:

Alright...I can start with reddit then. See where I can get from there.
Senn, that's horrible. Why would they say that? So mean. -
08-21-2017, 10:40 PMKalinOrthosAnd that person can screw off. There are too many ingrates on the internet who think they're entitled to another person's hard work. I would love to see your see your stuff. :)Quote:

Your art has a good quality, it's worth far more than $15. What is despairing is when I see people with child skill and price themselve over $30.

08-21-2017, 11:36 PMKaivaCOh my that looks amazing!!!Quote:

That stuff just kills me. What a time to be alive. -
08-22-2017, 12:50 AMSennI don't really have set prices because I've never gotten a proper price check on stuff, but I tend to charge below $15 for a black and white headshot. Maybe I should reevaluate my prices, idkQuote:

I've paid for commissions for my Miqo'te, for my friend's Au Ra, and for Lord Haurchefant artworks.
I feel happy when I look at the arts. It's a small happiness, but it's happiness no matter what.
To the Original Post:
I would recommend you to check tumblr.com and search "FFXIV Art" or "FFXIV Commission"
I used to share links to people's commissions but that was ages ago, those artists might not be available now, so it might be faster to search and see the active ones at the moment and look around for the artist whose style you like most and has the price range you feel is good for you. -
08-22-2017, 01:04 AMKalinOrthosYou know, you could just not be a jerk and express that you are not one to commission art for something you like.Quote:

Tumblr is also a great place to find talented artists as long as you don't mind wading through the NSFW stuff that can clog up the FFXIV tags.
Normally on tumblr you have to message the artist you want very fast when they do open though on tumblr - my friend opened up an art sale for an hour and got 40 full commissions. Pretty competitive to secure a spot if you don't have tons of money. -
08-22-2017, 07:57 AMDreamAngel-RenUm, me (and others too) that want to see their character's drawn in different styles. Just because you don't appreciate it doesn't make it a 'waste of time/money"Quote:

Like any other job, the person deserves a break for their hard work.
To the OP: Places to go and ask for an artist to draw your character - any FFXIV group on Facebook, Tumblr, or DeviantART, or other social media sites that you follow.
OR if you want to, you can always come to me ;) -
08-22-2017, 08:09 AMEternalAmbrosiaWow that's crazy, but I guess the same could be said of popular dA artists. Commissions from professionals are always in demand I suppose.Quote:

I'll give the initials of each word: SOYSOSS. Your artwork looks amazing. Looks like something that could go for at least $50.Quote:

I should probably update, I did find an artist with an open commission and the artwork gallery looked great...so I am commissioning them :) Thank you for all the comments and suggestions.
As for that troll post...well...you know, I'm not one to feed the troll, and I just woke up, so I don't feel like trolling back just yet.
