Sorry to vent this out.
I know some of the artists would like to render their services in doing art for writers. It may be a good idea.
In almost a year, I have been receiving constant messages that they want to offer their services for art in one of my stories. Obviously, it's really clear that I draw art for my written stories.
And another thing as well, I'm from Southeast Asia. I really can't afford to pay an artist for amounts in USD and UK Pounds. If you convert that in my currency, it will be so much expensive on my part.
Here's my advices for artists:
1. Keep posting your art in Cara, DeviantArt, or whatever art site would you prefer. It will really take time to gain more patrons.
2. I know you want writers to get interested in an art commission. Before you do that, always ask their consent. If they're both an artist and a writer like me, please respect their decision to keep their art as it is.
3. Always consider the costs if one can afford to pay for your services, especially when it comes to meet people overseas.
