Cliodhna Eoghan Posted February 6, 2015 Author Share #26 Posted February 6, 2015 Yeah, if you're concerned about someone taking the art and running, ask for the money first. Or, if you're not comfortable with the idea of having the money before having a product to give in return, you could always go for a half-and-half deal. Half at the start, along with what the commission is to be of... and then get the other half at the end once they're satisfied with the results. So, even in the case of someone (read: a jerk) taking the art and running, you still got at least half the money for it. Not quite as good as all the money, but it's a decent alternative. i could do what i used to do...half first, then they're shown the watermarked version, then they get the "clean" version after i get the other half. it's a bit of a longer payment process and i don't want to seem as if i'm mistrusting of people (most everyone on here i've met so far is super nice x3) just having the hit n run instance before has made me a bit more apprehensive when payment becomes a possibility.

Gegenji Posted February 6, 2015 Share #27 Posted February 6, 2015 Maybe do both? Offer both as an option - either pay in full at the start, or do half-and-half if they're uncomfortable (or unable due to financial crunches) with coughing up the cash first. That way, no matter what happens, you'll have gotten some manner of payment for your time and effort. Link to comment
Cliodhna Eoghan Posted February 7, 2015 Author Share #28 Posted February 7, 2015 that's actually a good idea chachan. then i can always stash the payment on a retainer just to help keep track or even friend them/have the pm it for safekeeping that way till they get their art. :3 i really like that way of doing it. hmm...i still have a couple of pieces i want to finish (both are in shading stages) but after that i think....i'll open up a slot to see how it goes. >u< Link to comment
Cliodhna Eoghan Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share #29 Posted February 10, 2015 oh man, i had meant to finish this ages ago! brought on by a conversation about how the mog mail system compensates when otto over-stuffs the mail with heavy starlight presents.

Cliodhna Eoghan Posted February 13, 2015 Author Share #30 Posted February 13, 2015 well in light of the recent "banning art for gil" thread; i guess i won't be offering to take on orders. Link to comment
Dat Oni Posted February 13, 2015 Share #31 Posted February 13, 2015 Take it to another site. Link to comment
Cliodhna Eoghan Posted February 13, 2015 Author Share #32 Posted February 13, 2015 from the sounds of this; it's being "clarified" on all ffxiv forum sites. i'd rather not try my chances selling for gil on another site and have issues from it. tho there was also mention that art for cash was still okay, correct? *ponders* Link to comment
Xenellia Posted February 13, 2015 Share #33 Posted February 13, 2015 Art for cash is of course acceptable, they don't have the right to ban artists from making money off of what they do, so if you want to offer commissions for RL cash it shouldn't be a problem. Link to comment
Cliodhna Eoghan Posted February 13, 2015 Author Share #34 Posted February 13, 2015 hmm...seems i'll have to go that route if i want to sell art, tho i'll be back to square one with the pricing issue again Link to comment
Warren Castille Posted February 13, 2015 Share #35 Posted February 13, 2015 Clio sent me some random requests to try and cheer me up after the rough week I've been having, and I wanted to share her work here. It was both touching and got a laugh out of me, especially with the file name of one in particular. and for the lulz Link to comment

Kellach Woods Posted March 29, 2015 Share #45 Posted March 29, 2015 only thing I'd do to the sig version is place a shadow behind the text because it's kind of hard to read at the mo. It's perf otherwise. Link to comment
