Anyone good at art?

Yeah, noted thank you!

People get so worked up on the forums. He's not asking any particular artist for free work, just seeing if anyone would draw his character.

Hmm. Not really into moogle muddling, might break my no commission rule, depending on what is requested if the op wants. It's that whole too simple it hard deal on the moogle items for me that would kill the deal and feel they be disappointed in the design. Though for anything else, I'd be glad to see what they want. Being free, negotiations are a possibility not really that hammered down to demand compensation right from the gate before proving what I can and can't do.

Man, I sure wish I had skills like that lol.

I don’t want to be rude but as an artist, art is how we make our living and pay for things like a game sub.

I do not draw but I’m sure you can find an artist who will be happy to commission a print or canvas. Or whatever medium you want.

For free is going to be a tough sell, maybe a high school artist or a young college student will be willing to draw for free to get “exposure”.

Seriously good luck in your search. It will be easier or faster if money is on the table.

You can find a lot of artists who take FFXIV commissions via Twitter or Skeb.jp

You can even find them in party finder at times.

Good luck!

This is most helpful thank you, had no idea those existed.
I thought the community would be a good place to start but i was wrong, people took things out of context even when i offered to pay.

But thank you!

I'm nervous to ask but, can anyone please draw my character?
I wish I was an artist myself but my talents fall short in that department.
I love this outfit so much it's the only thing my char wears.

Thank you in advance!

Interesting responses. Maybe times changed from my freelance and contracted days, then it was normally, when one is seeking the art work (on something like a BB or forum) they made a request, the artist who is interested in said work will provide prices and samples. If buyer is willing they begin negotiations on what is wanted and what can and cannot be done or willing to do.

This whole, throw money on the table first theme to find artist seems... misleading. Artist should have set prices on what they do and wiggle room on certain aspects of different items with in and out of their area to expand and explore different styles and concepts or able to point said buyer to an artist that fits their interests.

Just my 2 gil on the matter.

If the OP had said that they were looking to commission someone that would've been different, the way it was phrased is how people usually say it when they want free art.
Benefit of the doubt etc, but I think that some are taking it to the extreme and being captain hindsight about it.

The OP did clarify, but I think that most people when they read it how it was phrased at first makes it sound like they were essentially art begging which is generally frowned upon.

When someone comments on your art or private messages you '' can you draw me/ character please? '' and you start bringing up money it becomes very apparent 9 out of 10 times.
Usually that's not how people approach artists when they want to commission them.
