I got a client that been pushing me to give the full art he commissioned to me yet he only paid half of the price.
Should I crop it in half or just wait till he settle the pay?
It's my first time.
native furnace
fringe summit
Unless you know this client well, I'd highly discourage to show the full piece of they hadn't paid full price. Giving at least a sneak peek would give assurance.
Has he explained why did he want it so much and to when will your client pays up?
thick lark
Nope.
He just "show it,didn't I pay half of it already?.i have rights"
I finished it 4 days earlier from the deadline.
But yeah
He been pushing me 2 days before I finished it.
fringe summit
The fact that he's actually being suspicious about you is already a bad sign. It's up to you whether you want to give it or not, but I'd personally wouldn't fork out the full version without getting paid in full.
It's also your right as an artist to ensure that your services are paid in full, in exchange for the product the client requested.
What sort of commission did you do for this client btw?
fallen lance
put a really big and obnoxious watermark on there
like stretching from corner to corner
show it to him and then take it off once he pays the rest
trim agate
give a low res version
pay in full to get the real deal
fringe summit
~~give a low res version~~
pay in full to get the real deal

arent commissions supposed to be payed in full from the start
fringe summit
Different people have different systems I guess 
cedar temple
usually it's "ask for downpayment at half-finish and full payment comes before giving the full set"
thick lark
Iirc
It's for a page or stream end screen.
The client didn't say much.
But I did showed him few sketches
Also the rough design of it.
And he approved it.
zenith solstice

mine is just a huge "sample" placed diagonally
warm ingot
Nope.
He just "show it,didn't I pay half of it already?.i have rights"
I finis...
"crop it in half" 
oak star
I actually worked differently from most artist
What I did is to draw first then get payed later
but I remain in contact with them
It's to build a form of trust
I know this is a f*cked up way of working
but I prefer the client feeling more secure
pliant falcon
if the client doesn't feels bad makes people work without even a half of payment
there's something wrong with them

Why does this chat diss themselves so much?

“Oooh, my life sucks. I suck, I can’t draw, life is worthless”
halcyon herald
soft moth
Quez openly said he hates his own art
halcyon herald
Its funny because we can relate to it
Because we all have at one point been like "Damn I kinda suck goddamn"
People typically use it as a way of saying "I can be better" and is typically not a "diss" of themselves
thats at least how i interpret it
soft moth
Mtfks complaining about their art and charging $15 dollars for them
Meanwhile mine are worth $1
fallen lance
there are desperate people out there
halcyon herald
I have not ever at one point seen or heard anyone shorten motherfuckers as mtfks
This is new information
And also people price their art differently
soft moth
I don’t think I ever dropped a single profanity in this server before
halcyon herald
Lmao is a profanity as it contains the word ass
Also people charge for comissions differently
soft moth
Not f word, s word, things like that
sullen arrow
Also people charge for comissions differently
true
fallen lance
halcyon herald
I have seen some charge depending on what the content is (i.e Coloured+shaded or with or without bg) while some charge per hour, or some charge otherwise
Im not an subject matter person

i dont normally do commissions but i had one guy give me 50 to do some photoshop...
^
the photoshop stuff was me a few weeks back
halcyon herald
And that is a own personal problem, ask yourself: Is it because lack of exposure? Lack of skill? Lack of customers?
fallen lance
so i ended up remastering the future war logo for him
or cover art rather, not logo
halcyon herald
And I would like to point out the irony within the picture I have sent
soft moth
I know lol
sullen arrow
i just think that the sugar cones broke the order
like, all of them were full yellow with black writing
halcyon herald
To an average person (i.e a person who is not the most knowledgeable about art and or such) the art piece sent is considered to be a "good" or (pushing it) "pretty good"
I also have stated that I am
"bad at art"
sullen arrow
until the ice cream cones had a picture in it
halcyon herald
To an average person, one would consider it to be good and thus irony
Laugh.
Btw thats an actual brand
sullen arrow
wh0t
soft moth
Lmao
sullen arrow
no consistency 0/10
halcyon herald
And some of the logos are horrible
Like for example
Fruit Cocktail in Light syrup has a picture of a bunch of fruits
sullen arrow
i would like if it were juat full yellow and the black writing
it highlights itself
fallen lance
eh that kinda makes sense
sullen arrow
on the shelves
fallen lance
product recognition based off of fruit works
sullen arrow
but the pictures
halcyon herald
sullen arrow
make it look like some bad photoshop
fallen lance
yeah thats not awful
halcyon herald
I have seen that can in store
fallen lance
i mean i dislike how they use pictures
but as far as actual product recognition goes that does fine
sullen arrow
they have no consistency in fonts either
sullen arrow
cant they decide in using seriffs or not
fallen lance
without having to read the label
halcyon herald
sullen arrow
oh now its transparent
halcyon herald
Theyre using helvetica font
halcyon herald
Still helvetica
sullen arrow
that RLY saturated green
halcyon herald
Just unbolded
sullen arrow
its a variant, not the same
sullen arrow
its a mess
soft moth
“Sans nom”
fallen lance
the yellow mixed with helvetica works
soft moth
Bag and Nom?
fallen lance
yellow tends to really stick out to customers
fallen lance
yeah the cola is actually like really good
sullen arrow
perhaps
fallen lance
you want to know what the product looks like most of the time
sullen arrow
but the lack of consistency bugs me
fallen lance
especially in canned/packaged goods
sullen arrow
no
halcyon herald
short description of product
sullen arrow
sometimes they have pictures
halcyon herald
So
sullen arrow
sometimes its transparent
halcyon herald
That helps you recognise thr product
sullen arrow
sometimes its just very big bold and black letters
halcyon herald
Nobody reads things anyways
sullen arrow
at least all of them are yellow
halcyon herald
The cola isnt individually sold it comes in packs of 12
sullen arrow
its all a mess
fallen lance
i will say i prefer a more distinct design
halcyon herald
Typically small bagged items of a small size
I.e nuts pasta raisins
Will have transparent thing to see the product
Canned items typicall will have an image
sullen arrow
baking powder can picture has no picture of baking powder tho
halcyon herald
Ah yes im going to have a powder stack on the box
sullen arrow
but i see what u mean
halcyon herald
They do that for flour
All no name canned items will ahve an image of the product
Excluding tuna as the label is too small
fallen lance
You know what you're getting with baking powder/soda; there isnt a lot of differentiation between brands
lunar swift
what is this off topic
sullen arrow
its graphic design
fallen lance
no its on topic, we're talking about box composition
lunar swift
wat
sullen arrow
also art in a way
its how to use artistic composition between letters, images and colors to make a product distinguish itself on the shelves
halcyon herald
Transparent packaging helps especislly with pasta and raisins and nuts
As not many people will be able to recognise just by the name

I have a question for the pixel art enthusiasts. What references do you use?
and/or tutorials
soft moth
I just watch cartoons and pixelize them
Like 8 bit
My choice for pixel was due to ease rather than style
sullen arrow
I have a question for the pixel art enthusiasts. What references do you use?
last time i used myself
had to animate a 3-hit combo
i took pictures of myself in each keyframe
then i placed the pictures on aseprite
and traced them
then adapted to the character
felt like an idiot taking the pictures obviously
but it was worth it
warm ingot
hm, I think I might have a neat process video i saw awhile back that's similar
eh can't find it, but the guy went to his yard and took a bunch of pics of himself too
silk dagger
I have a question for the pixel art enthusiasts. What references do you use?
besides that
It's just standard art knowledge applied on small canvases
basically I view pixelart as a way of rendering
formal temple
Yeah when I did pixel art I usually started off with a normal sketch on a slightly bigger canvas first then shrunk it down to see which pixels were viewed as essential for the shape
Then I just went from there

This is why I prefer Western art style in body shapes because unlike Japanese styles, you're not as confined to the textbook anatomy size.
Though I do also prefer Japanese art style in terms of overall feature
So I therefore try to combine both elements into my work
formal temple
When I think American art style I think of the hideous tumblr/calarts style
fringe summit
Well, there's that
soft moth
I think of Disney, Looney Tunes, and Tom and Jerry
fringe summit
Western Art utilizes a lot of shapes to represent their characters, usually in the form of either squares, circles and triangles
formal temple
I just call that classic cartoons style lol
fallen lance
i think in general national art styles are such a broad catagory that nothing really fits neatly within one or the other
sure you could say something is in a japanese manga style
but art styles range from hyper realistic to cutesy to crayon shiinchan
and its the same story for the US
fringe summit
it really depends on what the animation is about
Crayon shiinchan's style works well because the show is just hillariously stupid and doesn't take itself that seriously
Imagine if a romantic comedy had shiinchan's style of animation 
pliant falcon
When I think American art style I think of the hideous tumblr/calarts style
this
when i think of american style it's either those blocky head cartoon, tumblr red nose drawing, or ultra realistic portrait
the last one is rare though
soft moth
I watch mostly classic theatrical cartoons
pliant falcon
This is why I prefer Western art style in body shapes because unlike Japanese styles, you're not as confined to the textbook anatomy size.
isn't that the other way around?

Western art from what I know doesn't always copy paste from the textbook reference sheet
some look blocky, some look more circular etc

Everyone's is entitled to their own preference of art

i speak from experience, i been in 2 server where it has majority of western artist. They tend to nitpicking and complaining about other people's art, giving unnecessary feedback even when not asked, etc etc

Depends on quality. Instagram is a very visual app so your art needs to be visually pleasing to get people to click on it and like it
Even people who do amazing art struggle to get likes on their stuff

Some people here including Peko and Blin told me to use Twitter
They also said “Use Twitter to keep out the Westerners”
formal temple
You’d probably struggle more on Twitter than on Ig tbh
It’s a lot harder to get a viewership on there you usually only get a foot in once someone popular or a game or something retweets your art
fallen lance
Twitter is a lot harder than insta, the algorithm fucking sucks on twitter
formal temple
Well that and it doesn’t matter the platform people don’t like seeing the same thing over and over and over again in their feed people tend to follow artists that have variation in their artwork and create something pleasing to the eye
They may like the first few pictures but once you post 20 pictures in a row of the same thing with very very slight variations they’ll eventually just tune you out
Doesn’t matter the platform it’ll happen everywhere. Like if you just want a place to dump your work just to have it somewhere then Twitter would be the better option I guess since ig makes digital art look trash especially pixel art
But if you’re looking to actually gain a following and get likes you’re really going to struggle unless you get out of your comfort zone and start improving and experimenting with different things

My colonial Manjuus had the most likes... by a lot
The fact that many of my followers are from the Polandball community 
They probably didn’t care that those were based off an anime shipfu game, they saw and went “History? Memes? Imperialism?” REEEEEEEEEEEEE
Yeah I’ll make new shapes and style but I’m gonna draw both that and what I call the “standard” Manjuu

what's your insta?
warm ingot
How much is one of those tokens though 🤔
warm ingot
Idk how long a tft game is but it does seem kinda low in a general perspective
But paid to game is p cool i guess
warm ingot
Ye i was told lol, seems mostly a sidegig type of thing at that rate
formal temple
Yeah though if you’re a popular egirl and you play games with quick rounds that can add up quick
They can increase the price
warm ingot
I imagine egirls would be more expensive 🤔
unkempt kernel

Twitter is not bad , because at east you can get record
And avoid getting reposted
Insta is a really easy to get reposted , not a good platform for artist
grim beacon
insta is the worst when it comes to that
grim beacon
I know to many models who get whole ass accounts pretending to be them
and they have to make announcements about it
soft moth
Twitter is not bad , because at east you can get record
I only made my Twitter public specifically to get an artist role with Yostar
Once I get that role, I’ll lock my Twitter to private again
It was never intended to be an art account, it’s my personal that I made public specifically for that purpose
soft moth
Insta is a really easy to get reposted , not a good platform for artist
Several artists here literally had their art reposted on Instagram with no credit
Zilf, Sparrow, Janny, Paru, many others
Someone spotted that before and told us here
formal temple
Oof it takes a while to get artist role
Like 3+ months and isn’t guaranteed either
And I think you need actual fanart of the shipgirls to qualify

formal temple
Might be wrong though but that’s what I understood when I applied

Most pink names here are busy, migrated, or both these days

Well cause the chat changed. Artists used to talk about whatever here and it was chill as soon as somebody would talk they’d discuss the art but then the mods started cracking down and warning people and all that
formal temple
Now there’s no reason to contribute to this chat unless you have art to share lol. Majority moved to another server cause at one point people were straight up power tripping with their warns here lol
It became a straight up joke lmao. It’s been way less active ever since
unkempt kernel
this is why good artist dont stay in gacha channels
then again, most of them prefer to stay in close circle
formal temple
Yeahh
shut turret
Ah, so that's why there hasn't been much activity here or the usual suspects
formal temple
Like people became active here because the arknight servers artist lounge was awful
Like AWFUL
soft moth
Well cause the chat changed. Artists used to talk about whatever here and it was...
No need to explain, I know the story
I was a firsthand witness
formal temple
and we praised this chat for not being nearly as bad
And then they went and basically did the same thing here lmao

How the table has turned
warm ingot
🤔 was gonna say it feels kinda opposite now but im a recent joiner so
formal temple
Yeah it’s pretty much the opposite now

AKO artist lounge is now like the old ALO artist lounge
BTW, I’m currently planning on an art with a different style right now
soft moth
But I will continue using the “standard” manjuu

if you want actual tips , GFL is much a better place to be
