Ok, look I get it you have a beautiful romantic idealized vision of what the relationship between an artist and a writer is like. The collaborating individuals relationship is fairly rare and typically only works between established friends or two well-known established professionals. For random peo...

Are we really picking on those of us who simply don't have the means to provide compensation? No, you seem to not have read most of the pages here. This is what -is- happening. 1. You as a writer are free to ask someone to work for free, no one can stop you from doing that. -however you must realiz...

lol omg
so i wasn't going to respond but i thought it was pretty hilarious that arctan completely deleted his old post and edited it to it's current state. I know why, the other post was a combination of extremely a$$inine comments, condescending remarks (towards artists, and humanity in general...), and ov...

Tumblr, Deviantart, Webcomic, etc. How do you promote?
Hi, hopefully people will respond to this thread but i was wondering what ways the artists on here promoted themselves. I have a deviant art and tumblr, and occasionally other websites. How do you promote? Do you have a tumblr or deviant art? If so post it.

DeviantArt
Hi everyone, for a long time my deviant art account sat unused with old old pictures of mine that were not terrible but not great either. So now i'm reopening it and adding new things. Things i'm getting published, have already gotten published, and things i'm currently working on. If any of you hav...

Yeah that is a common problem among artists and writers alike, that they think they're dedicated and think they have time and later drop out. I think it best not to jump to conclusions about all artists too quickly everyone has their reasons for why things happen - some times there can be real life...

I honestly have no idea what you're talking about. I think it's just stereotypical stuff people are expected to say about art or being an artist. "it's so hard!" "there aren't any jobs!" "i'm a starving artist!" "there's nothing to do!" ...um these are all lies. Plus believe me all the 'kids' gettin...

Doing commissions for other people is at most only 3% of how an artist can make money. There's actually a ton of stuff you can do if you're an artist. I think a lot of people box themselves into a specific definition of what an artist is and forget what else you can do with that talent. T-shirt desi...

It seems like there is a ton of talk on here about people who want to write, people who want to draw, people who need writers, people who want artists, but when it comes down to it, very few people actually have the desire to do more than talk about doing things or are teenagers with dreams and no ...

Naffslack I think the idea behind the post is that artists should at least be paid 10$ as opposed to not getting paid anything. It's more or less a starting point. Id-airgrafix - australia - holla! Finally, you assume success requires great art. Actually, more often than not, I think consistent art ...

Oh I don't carry myself as a high class professional (unless if by high class you mean I lift my pinky while I sip my dr. pepper than perhaps) the people who hire me do, otherwise I wouldn't get hired if I didn't know what I was doing. After all the definition of professional is to be engaged in or ...

100$ a page is extremely realistic. I get paid on average 80$ for one children's book illustration (and that's not as intricate or elaborate as one full comic page, that would be more). I get paid per hour 16$ and it typically ends up at 80$. Would I work for free with a .0001% possibility of succes...

tvtropes is actually a great website to start looking at common tropes with, but it's based primarily out of western culture. I could easily think of lots of examples where the characters are irrelevant and the plot is everything (especially if we involve games - and yes I count games because it's j...

I'm hopeless at negotiating, hate this part of running a business. Just recently a friend asked me to quote him some canvas prices, wants avengers airbrushed for his brother, I loved discussing ideas with him, until he asked how much. And I as usual underpriced it. I've been learning this myself la...

Dbppres are u an artist or a writer? i agree with you offering any kind of payment is better than nothing. Does anyone actually know, how publishing works? Lets say your book gets published by a publisher, its really successful and copies are flying off the shelves. How do you actually get paid, is...
