and anyone that does or has done comissions
would you please answer a few questions about them for me??
I would really appreciate it
Subscription questions:
1. Do you really get more pageviews and art views?
2. Is there any other benefits from having a subscription? Or is it just so we pay subscription and we dont really get anything special out of it?
3. If your a really unknown artist (like myself) will this really boost my views and such?
Commission Questions:
1. How do you send/give the person their art? Though post, email or something else?
2. How do you set the prices?
3. How do you go abouts with payment? Cheques? Paypal? Or something else?
Yep, thats all I can think of asking at the moment
I mean they are probably really noobish questions, but I have never done any commission work before haha so I thought I would ask
I would really appreciate it you could answer any of these, I mean you do not need to answer them all!!
Thank you!!

Commissions? Simple!
I see other people explained it better, but I'm glad to help.
Hmm thats put a different look to it,
nah I will admit I do want a few more views and stuff, just so maybe I could start commissions, but yeah its not the only thing Im looking for just wondering if they actually made a proper difference hehe~
Ah see that didnt even come to mind about the download link haha xD~
Thank you again
There's a group called #GetWatchers, you must've heard of it. Apparently joining it really does increase your pagesviews and maybe favs.. hugely! I haven't joined though, I prefer to be in the shadows a bit. XD
I tried it but after 5 minutes left,
'cause I didnt like the way it got you views and faves haha
I prefer doing it the long way and myself if that makes sense,
instead of kind of forcefully getting them 'ya know
Oh did it feel artificial? Yeah, that's what scares me about that kind of group. The llama badge thing was like that too.
which takes you to random deviants art work or pages that have joined the Group.
Circle though them either randomly favouriting or commenting to gain 'Credit' so you get more faves and so on,
so yeah it would have felt artificial if I'd have followed though with the group and done any of that rubbish, seems so fake D:~
Plus after a literally seconds of join I got spam messeges/notes from people saying 'Look at my page' or 'Look at my art!!' so it was an instant hate for the group after that haha
Ahh, thanks for warning me. I can imagine these people when they are drawing, they must be thinking "oh I don't have to even try hard at this".
So you think DA should ban this group?
though people seem happy about doing it because I guess it the easiest way of
'getting popular'....
I have no idea whether it should be banned or not,
I dont think its against the rules or anything, as its just a different way of getting watchers, faves and stuff (however forced it seems)
and were the masses 'love' it so much I dont think they will....
1. I haven't really noticed more page or art views from having a subby :/
2. I know it's not really a big deal but I rather like having no adverts and being able to browse 150 per page and journal layouts and such, they're really just small perks I don't pay much attention to what I'm given T.T
3. Honestly, I don't think subs do much in the way of boosting views and such... to me submitting art in clubs and being featured by other artists is a big help though
Commission Questions:
1. I've sent through the post and email before. I just let them decide but hard copy is usually what they pay for so that's what they get
2. I think that's just personal preference and dependent on what you've been commissioned for. For example I've had a portrait commission that was rather large (11x14) so I needed to set the price higher than I normally would. Alot of the time its in the range of 20-40$ depending on size, subject, medium etc... I guess it all depends on what you believe is a fair price for your work. Then add on whatever shipping would be on top of your commission price.
3. I know sending money through post isn't safe but I've done it
Everything youve said has been a really big help,
and makes commission stuff sound much less hard to do now haha xD~
Thank you again, I appreciate it
