I've realized a lot of that already, even though no one has yet to follow through on a commission request. I've had people email me, but once I respond with "this is about how much it's going to cost, and this is what the contract would entail," they stop responding to me, probably because they can get one of their friends to do something for them for free. It seems that most people don't realize that it takes hours of work to make cool art, and that if they pay you below a certain amount, you'd be making less than minimum wage on it.dase wrote:I use cargo collective as like an online portfolio too. Do you want actual commissions or like design work? All the money for me has pretty much always been in drawing shit for bands. But I can't recommend highly enough having a pretty simple agreement or contract if you do go that route. Getting paid for shirts I've drawn is like drawing blood from a stone sometimes. Musicians, we're the worst people.
I'd take commissions or design work as long as the "design work" isn't too commercial or whatever.
