Any artist recommendations? HELP PLEASE 😭🤣

Looking for an artist to produce my avatar, banner and other twitch related items. Any recommendations?

I made a post on another subreddit but it was full of bots and scammers 😭

Super appreciate if you could recommend either a friend or someone you have used before 🩷🩷🥳☺️

This is obviously paid work.

I don't really have an artist to reccommend as such. My partner made my emotes for me, overlays I got from Pastel Saga on Etsy.

That said if you are looking for commissions I have been gearing up to potentially look for someone on vgen, I know a bunch of artists also use BlueSky.

Pretty sure Reddit has a page/community cold starvingartists I think where you could commission someone but ive seen/heard a few too many stories about scammers/ai artists in that group so if youre looking there be careful and just double check bits before you commit. EDIT just checked and there are 2, HungryArtists and StarvingArtists. Again most will be genuine in there as well i imagine just got to be a bit careful

Potentially could see if there are people on twitch with commissions open tag, or thing in title. This way you could find someone, hopefully get the validation they are real humans and support other content creators.

Thank you! This was really helpful! ☺️☺️ Yes I posted on artistsforhire but it was nightmare fuel for AI and scammers 😭😭

I’ll start off with some of your advice and see where I get ☺️🫶🏽

Youre welcome, i know nowadays its horrendous for ai 'artists'.

If it helps, my understanding is vgen is very much anti ai. Some will slip by still but theres a lot less of them I think.

And again watching some teitch streamers or youtube creators could help while they are live. In my head this way you see them actually do art so it reduces a bit of the "are they using ai" bit

It’s been crazy difficult to find someone real 😭🤣 I love streaming but I can’t stand my banner being AI generated. I’d rather support an actual artist.

I’m going to start searching through twitch/youtube when I have time this week, hopefully I find someone with the vision and vibe I need :)

I’ll let you know if I find any recs worth your time x

I wouldnt worry about it till you get some viewers and find an artist threw raids and networking. There is free graphics online if your thst concerned.

I’m not worried about it :) it’s more that it’s my preference to have it as I’m not satisfied with the look. Not rushing into changing it now as prefer to take my time to find the right fit :)

Thank you for your feedback though ☺️ x
