How to Secure a Commission by Malachyte

Super short version: Go to my personal Commiss.io page and click on a listing to order a commission. If no listings are available, it means I'm full. Subscribe to email alerts to be notified when I open.

It's been a while since I last explained my process for taking commissions, so since some of you have been asking, here is a brief explanation.

I mainly take commissions using the service Commiss.io. The other two ways I take commissions are during specified commission streams on my Picarto, and the occasional special project. I choose to use Commiss.io for many reasons, but the biggest one is that, unlike Paypal, Commiss.io fully allows artists to comfortably sell 18+ works. They use the payment processor Stripe, which is the same processor that Patreon uses for their 18+ campaigns. For those who do not have a bank card or are uncomfortable using Stripe, I can still take your commission information using Commiss.io, and then work out an alternate payment method, so please rest assured that you are not excluded! You may choose to create an account on Commiss.io, but it is not necessary.

If you would like to see more detail on how to purchase art on Commiss.io, they have a very short and easy to understand guide! If you'd rather read my own version of a how-to-use guide, then keep reading!

Step 1. Look at my Commiss.io page and check out the available listings.
Step 2. Click on the listing you are interested in for more details.
Step 3. Click the "request project" button, read and agree to my Terms of Service, and fill out the project form accordingly
Step 4. Submit your request and wait for a response, which will be sent via the email you entered
Step 5. Once accepted, you are added to my queue
Step 6. Once I am ready to begin your commission, you will be sent an invoice (either via Commissio or another method, as needed)
Step 7. You pay the invoice, and work begins!
Step 8. You will receive updates and eventually final assets via Commissio. When you receive final assets that you are happy with, you will mark the project 'complete', and the transaction is finished.

And that's about it! If you're curious about more specifics, like "When can I ask for changes during my commission?" or "Will you draw [thing]? How about [thing]??", then please refer to my Terms of Service, which has all that information ready for you!

Additionally, if you would like to support outside of commissions you can send me a Ko-Fi, tip me on Commiss.io, or even do monthly pledge amounts (also on Commiss.io) to see occasional doodles that I normally don't post.
