How do you get requests?

Date : February 20, 2009

Category : Tutorials / creation problems

Question :


I'm a happy image maker on my own,but I would like some requests. And I DO take requests. So,how do I get them? I really want to do a request but no one ever asks. Does everyone simply IGNORE my image gallery?

Best answer :


Sometimes it takes a while for your gallery to become well known, particularly in the Fan Image section as it isn't as popular as Fan Art, where most people become sick of taking requests quickly. Make sure you have your Art Status including in your gallery presentation, here's something you could fill out yourself by putting "Open" or "closed" next to it. This way people will be aware of your Status and know if they can make a request or not.

Art Status.
Requests - Open.
Image Trades -
Collaborations -
Gifts - Secret. ;]

(And just in case you didn't know, an art trade is when you agree to make an image for osmeone, normally of their character, and they'll make one in return. Same applies for art. This is a good way to get your gallery well known. Also a Collab' is simply working on a picture with someone else.)

Another thing, are you active on the forums? If so, it might be best to include an example of your images, preferably a signature image, as your sig'. And include that you take image requests underneath the image with a link to your Gallery.

I checked out your image gallery, and I'm actually rather impressed. :) I might make a request someday!

Best of luck and I'm sure you'll be flooded with requests in no time.

Try saying that you take requests in your images presentation. Keep on making images, try putting something like "check out my images gallery!" on your profile or forum signature and then put the link to it. It took me about a half a year to get my first request, so be patient. Have fun. :)
