I don’t think randomly dming strangers asking them to commission you is a good idea…

#it’s at least not at all practical because you’re putting people on the spot #and you’re already asking for their money #someone just did that to me like #it’s fine ppl are trying to get paid whatver #but when you do this what do you expect to happen… that the other person will just say ‘sure I’ll buy from you’ out of nowhere??? #like just make a post and tag it/ask ppl if they could share it instead #not ‘commission me ^^?’ like it’s a little… lol #it’s nice to be bold and confident though that’s good and there’s nothing wrong with that #I know that it is hard for artists to advertise their work especially if they aren’t popular online #and you have to bank on people actually sharing your shit in the first place #it sucks so bad #deviantart used to be so good when it came to looking for commission work #I haven’t tried to use the forums in years but it still looks to be thriving #outside of the AI shit #in the forums on DA you could advertise your work to potential clients looking for artists to draw their ocs and stuff #they’ll usually send you a note if interested #rambling
