King 5,625 April 10, 2013 Share April 10, 2013 (edited) I thought Id propose that all current and future people wishing to host commissions on the site should have to complete a sort of template to make things easier to understand when people go in for commissions...while it isnt completely necessary, it could help smooth things out... Plus its not really hard to do.... Something like... Product Type Sketched Art Pieces (Example) Digital Art Pieces (Example) Vinyl Pony Figures (Example) Estimated Costs $10 Per Sketched Image (Example) $15 Per Digital Image (Example) (Note: Cost may vary depending on size of work) (Example) Payment Details Pay via Paypal to (blahblahblah) (Example) Contact Methods Forum PM System (Example) Skype (Example) Email (Example) Percentage To Forum (if wanted known) 50% Profits to Forum(example) Other Notes I will only accept a small number of commissions at any one time, so as I can focus working on them before starting new commissions. (Example) Work Examples (Add in some pictures displaying some previous work) Something like that may smooth things out. Of course you can tweak it if you want. Just a suggestion...

Concord 1,982 April 10, 2013 Share April 10, 2013 Hello! Hold it now! No need to go all comunist on MLP Forums! The reason i don't support this little idea, is because it's the artists own will as to how he wants the form to be filled. The artist should be allowed to set up his own standarts.

Oh well obviously, Im not saying they have to do exactly like I did it, but it would make it alot easier to get across to people. Remember, they aren't here to show us how well they can write, they are here to sell their art, and the more efficiently they can do that, the more money they and the forums earn Goddamn right, you should be scared of me Twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the profit goes to the artist, unless he offers a percentage of the price to be donated to the forums. Think of it like this aswell, you are providing the area and giving rights for a market, but it's not your buisness, how they run their market. ( Well, of course, i'm not talking about anything related to drug dealing ) I believe that the more popular artists have a pretty convenient and organised form.

"All commission threads here are admin-approved. The artists share a small percentage of their profits with MLP Forums" We get profit from the Commissons either way 1 Goddamn right, you should be scared of me Twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, even with it being true, artists already have their own forms, and they wouldn't be to pleased with the idea of having to change it all to a specific form. Artists love freedom when it comes to almost everything, and if they're not pleased with the rules and standards the site might set upon them, they might even consider moving to somewhere else.

King 5,625 April 10, 2013 Author Share April 10, 2013 There are no rules there at all...I know MANY sites that require you to fill out longer more dedicated forms. This is just a template, and it's designed to increase efficiency. The artists still have ultimate freedom to choose prices, how much they donate to the forums,what art they make and who they take commissions from. And remembers, that its not like its a one way street. Artists need us as much as we need them...Either way Its just a suggestion :3 Goddamn right, you should be scared of me Twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
