Is there a guide for commissioning things? By which I mean giving useful information to the artist in a mutually beneficial way.

I suck at illustration and was planning on handing off a reference board, a couple notes for elements (like a specific hair style or facial feature) and some shitty sketches to some artists and seeing if they were comfortable trying it.
From my side the worst thing that could happen is they don't take the commission since I'm fine with just trusting their judgement. But is there anything i should include or avoid for the artist's sake?

>> No.12045566

>>12045151
Giving them what you listed is perfect and to be safe, photo references are a good idea for clarity if you need something specific.

The only thing i would say to avoid is giving them art reference from other artists (for example trying to show the style you want) unless its specifically of your character.

Because that can feel like you arent approaching them for their specific art style/are using them for prices.

>> No.12046056

>>12045566
Well one is a collage that includes things from games, shows, official artwork, etc to kind of give a broad idea of elements I'm trying to include but don't have the skills to.
Any artist I approach I'm going to trust to do it in their style to their satisfaction since I'm looking for someone who can do the more western style I'm looking for.

Hey I'm looking for live2d viewer, not the viewer that comes with cubism
But any link I find gets me to forbidden
