Question for fellow drawfags (since /draw/ is slowly shutting down):
How does one go about whoring themselves for commissions? Any methods, DAgroups, or other sites you can recommend?

Fanart. Lots of fanart. Look at XJKenny. He sucks so fucking bad but he gets a lot of attention. Not sure if he gets commissions but people eat his shit (literally) all up.

Also, find your favorite internet artist and rip off their methods. Kinda like Bleedman has a few followers who worship and emulate his style.

Fetishes. These sell like hot cakes. Everyone has a fetish and finding an artist willing to go that extra mile will get quite a bit of that. Feet, bondage, feet, feet, feet, shota, the list goes on.

Now those are less than admirable methods to get attention, but you used the word "whoring" so I'm sure you aren't willing to present a portfolio of respectable-in-mainstream-society pictures exclusively. You sound like someone who is willing to get down and dirty to make money.

Oh and if you use DA, be everyone's friend, comment and fave often, send notes to good artists, get collabs with them, and do kiribans. It's a dirty business on DA, and business is good.

YOU CAN'T DEFEND THIS SHIT!

I can be understanding of how good or bad other artists are, but when they have been doing this same level of shit with no sign of improvement for years, it's just sad.

I dont think drawing wise XJKenny is really too bad. Just that his colouring method is identical pretty much to what he used years ago, which looks dated in todays age.

But he draws popular character and does requests for people at times and has been around for a lot of years on DA posting regular coloured works. For that much time on DA and that much posting of art, is what the many faves and comments etc.

I never thought I'd say this, but thank you plus4chan. A day after following your suggestions I tripled my hit rate and got more commissions.

By that logic I can't criticize a singer because I'm tone-deaf.

while i don't agree with it on art, doesn't tone deafness generally mean just that? it's not just that you're a bad singer yourself, it's that you can't distinguish between tones you hear.

By that logic I can't criticize a chief because I lost all my taste buds in a gang-related incident involving a curling iron.

So I don't

Because I can't taste shit.

I don't need to know how to build ships to know that a ship with a hole in the side is a shitty ship.

Also, XJKenny really fucking sucks. He doesn't understand anatomy since all his figures look like dolls with stiff joints. His understanding of perspective is horrible too. He's a more colorful version of that guy who did all those horrible street fighter comics with a self insert.
