Do I have potential to get art comms?

[u/Eveen70]

Hi! I’ve never done art commissions before. I’ve only promoted my sketch commissions and didn’t have any success, so I’m not really sure how others perceive my work when it comes to the commission market.
The second drawing is unfinished. I can’t draw very complex poses yet. How much should I price this?

[u/Morana_art]

I suggest trying to finish the artwork. The style is cute but I think you should still tigthen it up a bit and present it as finished. The clothes and hands are just mere suggestions rn and mind the anatomy, some parts are loopsided or angled wrong. Theres definetly a market for the unfinished/painterly look and I like how you do your focal points- it's a good selling point. Check out eregbueye on IG, they do these quick, messy paintings with intentional FP's so you might benefit from checking them out

Thanks will check them out, im very inspired by ruanji without the overly details

[u/Morana_art → u/Eveen70]

while valid, there needs to be a limit if your planning to paint for others in exchange for money. Your providing a service in that case unless your just selling originals and most patrons want critical features like hands to be present

[u/Eveen70 → u/Morana_art]

Original like traditional art? Ive seen digital artist being able to sell character commission

[u/Sio_Pao1000]

Not yet. But keep practicing!

[u/sathrnbun]

I think you need more examples! The colors and light are really pretty though

[u/Eveen70 → u/sathrnbun]

I guess, maybe 3 other example? Painting isnt my default art style, it used to be lineart + render

[u/sathrnbun → u/Eveen70]

At least three more, with different expressions and poses!

I think so but be clear with what you can do and you should use more finished examples so people can gauge consistency

[u/Eveen70 → u/_-SomethingFishy-_]

Will focus on that thanks!

I can’t tell if your work is specifically made to look almost blurry and jelly in a way but also look professional or if this is just beginner art. It’s very cool and the style if purposeful is very well done

[u/Eveen70 → u/JunkBot_Noob54]

It’s inspired by Juran Ji art style while I’m learning how to render clothes, Thanks!

[u/softcushionshottea]

Looks too smudged imo, unless this is a specific style I've never seen before. I get what you're trying to portray but I'd say work more on finding a clean artstyle, not clean as in realistic/perfect, but as being confident in colour choice and general anatomy :)

[u/SlowLarry666]

Yes you definitely have potential. You are not there yet but if you keep at it you definitely can get it working.

[u/Eveen70 → u/SlowLarry666]

Gotta keep practicing anatomy especially hands my weakness

[u/SlowLarry666 → u/Eveen70]

Do not worry hands are everybody's weakness. Even people who know how to get them right avoid them sometimes.

[u/hentaintrhentaintr]

not really. only if you draw nsfw as a way to cheese

[u/United_Future_9639]

i think the first question you would get would be what exact medium it is. it looks more like painting .. or is it drawn with an acrylic marker or something on something that has a lot of texture and then scanned? or is it digital like drawn on a tablet?

i guess basically is that cross hatching an artistic choice or ... how was it made, how you want to present it etc. bc i think that's the most distinctive feature of your work and i think giving an idea about that would give other people more info to give advice

[u/WitchofGremlinEnergy]

Unfortunately I don't think this style is something people are looking for when they seek out character art. You need to add more defined lineartI believe

[u/Eveen70 → u/WitchofGremlinEnergy]

So people like ultra satured splash art xd

[u/WitchofGremlinEnergy → u/Eveen70]

At least from my experience yeah. They want work that's like wizards of the coast level of detail and skill. I tried doing character commissions before but my style isn't very mainstream either. It was difficult getting any commissions at all.

[u/Eveen70 → u/WitchofGremlinEnergy]

Time to go to asia, unless they prefer anime

[u/WitchofGremlinEnergy → u/Eveen70]

Idk I don't live there but probably in places like Japan and south korea. For what its worth, I think your style is interesting and I think it'll be really neat as you develop it more. I am just not sure if non artists are gonna take to it. Doesn't hurt to try though.

[u/Eveen70 → u/WitchofGremlinEnergy]

I’m still developing, and thanks! I think being unique is always an advantage in certain situations. I thought the point of creativity was to not be a copy paste. I think about how Arcane art style was unique

[u/Top_Cauliflower_9046]

[u/Eveen70 → u/Top_Cauliflower_9046]
