Whatever you do, don't give in to people directly offering or begging you to commission them in DMs or replies. These people are more often then not scammers who will either take your money and never give you a comission or will give you a low quality (sometime even AI generated) commission after stalling for a long time. This is a type of person you'll encounter online if you hang out in art or furry communities and you need to be careful of it.

You should always be the one asking for a commission from an artist, them coming to you asking you to commission them is a red flag.

Uhhh I draw! Never done a commission before but my last post has my art and I would feel bad for asking for an expensive price anyway!

Simple ask anyone who can draw if their comms are open if yes describe drawing haggle on price pay then wait. Source I know multiple artists . Find someone who makes art you like.

Many artists also write in their profile descriptions if comms are open and maybe have a post pinned or linked with details about pricing.

Thank you, I'll check if some of my favorite artists are currently open to comissions.
