What are /r/artstore's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

For the sake of discussion I'm going to assume this is a genuine post and not a troll. With that said I have a few notes for you to consider.

If you're looking for a professional portfolio website, don't use Deviantart. It doesn't give the impression of a seasoned photographer and robs you of credibility. Look for a more professional site that caters specifically to photographers, or put in the money to get a personal portfolio site made for you.

When promoting your work keep it clean and simple. Link to a gallery and let people browse. By hitting us with a wall of text and steep prices before we can even see the quality of your work you are stripping away the chances of anyone actually clicking on a link. Also learn to hyper link, this is more attractive than this: https://www.behance.net/gallery/9538549/The-Moon.

Know the audience you are speaking to. Wander through the sub before posting and ask yourself, are the people here likely to pay four million dollars for a print? We do get a range but generally the upper limit is four figures not seven. Generally people looking to spend that much shop in galleries not Reddit so look into submitting your work there to maximize the chance of finding buyers.

Look at your work critically. You've priced some of your work for the top tier of fine art photography, does it live up? If you have found people to purchase your work at the prices you have set then excellent, but what are you doing advertising on reddit? If no one is buying your prints maybe it's time to reexamine your business model.

Again, if this is a genuine post, I wish you the best of luck.

I just use Staples or a local printer. My prints are small, most are only 5 inches by 7 inches. I make them as inexpensive as possible. The logic being that if someone had the extra money, they'd buy an original. Some artists get expensive giclees made, but then they need to sell the prints for close to the price of an original to profit. The prints I sell are archival, so they won't fade over time. Other than that, they are basic. Cheap to make, so I can sell them for cheap.

It took me a long time to decide to sell prints. I hesitated for fear of somehow devaluing the integrity of my work. That was silly. Because of my choice to sell prints so many more people have been exposed to my art. Having different price points in my Etsy shop has increased search exposure.

At art fairs I ONLY sell prints. If anything gets ruined due to rain or spilled soft drinks, I don't lose originals. People no longer make the rude "You want HOW MUCH for that?" face. If a person asks about originals, I hand them my card and direct them to my website. Again, it helps avoid the awkward "Didn't think it'd be that expensive" interaction.

I specialize in art nouveau and whimsy cute stuff. I might be able to pull this off though its short notice.

Some of my work here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/GuerdrumArt

With that time frame it would increase price.

It's not a difference in quality, that comes from the ability of the artist. The difference between modern fine point pens and the more classic dip pens is in the type of mark you get.

Modern pens make a more consistent mark that may or may not be right for the image. This series for example used micron pens for a more mechanical look. On the other hand a dip pen will give you a greater variety of marks that are less exact allowing for a more organic feel like in this piece. Good tools are an excellent thing to have but more important is knowing when to use them.

Hello, my name is Khaynã Ferreira and I'm a freelance illustrator and character artist.

I love creating fantastic world and characters!

My comissions are open! Contact me at:

I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi there!

I am a digital artist and I'm ready to paint:

❤ Digital portraits (like the one in the post or more simple\detailed);

❤ Portraits of pets (dogs, snakes, rats, ravens, snails, cats etc);

❤ Environments and landscapes;

❤ Cover art;

You can take a look at my portfolio here.

The price depends on the difficulty of the work! I accept payments via paypal.

My deadlines are really short and it usually takes me 1-3 days to finish a picture. So feel free to offer stuff as a XMas presents or whatever.

Any artwork may be printed (or prepared for printing) and shipped to you for additional cost.

Contact me via e-mail [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) or just send me a PM.

Thank you for your time! wwwww

Hi there!

sssoooo I really need money now and thus I am ready to paint some portraits at a reasonable cost.

I also can paint animals, environments, landscapes, book\album covers and stuff.

Here and here you can see some of my work.

Contact me via e-mail or PM.

Thanks for your time! www

Yeah, no, this is all some mass produced Chinese crap. I reverse image searched a few, these pieces all have their photos ripped straight from Alibaba. Exhibit A.

Not interested in purchasing, but I've got some suggestions to help it sell.

Two of the images are not actually there, so get those back.

Retake all of the photos. Take them near that window around 10:30 or 11:00 so you have pretty strong but indirect natural light. This way you won't need to use the flash, which won't detract from the quality of your object or show crazy paint texture issues that the eye probably won't see without the high contrast of the flash.

Upload photos that are the correct side up. If you don't have photo editing software, you can rotate them online with tools like Picnik.

Post to Craigslist early and often. I know how unnerving it can be to be scammed, but since you're asking for cash and in-person pick up, there's very little chance of that. I can only imagine someone not showing up in this case.

Good luck!

Yes its pretty swell these days, though there isn't anything wrong with gif. SMBC and a few other major webcomics at least still use gifs.

When you start to deal with larger PNG files you might want to look into compression options. One very popular one is PNG Gauntlet which has very good loss-less compression (smaller file sizes with no pixel data lost)

Ward Wands are carved and crafted by hand and never tested on elves. Perfect for spells, incantations, jynxing, backscratching and pointing at things.

Wands come in all shapes and sizes as they are individual to the Witch or Wizard, also include in your message about how many inches you would like your wand (Generally between 8"-14") and I'm sure we will have the right fit for you!

Hey AliasNefertiti, In essence it’s a series of slow-paced puzzle games where you ‘interact’ with paintings.

In one part of the game it is indeed the goal to duplicate the painting you see on the left. How you do this you’ll discover by experimenting. It’s a methaphor for the creative process of the artist, where you have to try out stuff, see if it works or not, and if not, try something else, until you’ve created your masterpiece.

There’s no previous gaming experience required and you can get it on the Apple Appstore and Google Play Store as well.

Hey, glad that you like my work. I'm on other platforms as well, for example https://creativemarket.com/Sirius-sdz or http://www.shutterstock.com/gallery-2422448p1.html . I started on deviantart, that's why I offer many free textures (>1000) , the premium packs are 1/10th of the usual price per Texture as well. Deviantart is a mess sometimes, but I wouldn't do that much without their community.

https://about.me/kaylabachmeier

Hi there I'm Kayla. I just recently graduated and ready to get started as a freelance artist. You can find a short summary of me and a link to my portfolio on the about.me page linked above as well as all of my social media.

Through my school I gained experience working with clients but never for paid work. I have recently done some small scale commission work for a streamer but its not enough to really get out there and achieve my goal.

My goal right now is to try and see if I have what it takes to do art full time as a living and to do this I realized I needed to network, set up an online store and sell sell sell!

Being I just finished school I'm really struggling to find clients on my own. Being a very shy person I figured my best bet would be to connect with clients via social media and online shops. I have tried using social media to reach out and ask for commissions but I feel I am not known enough to actually be hired. I also don't have much in my Etsy shop right now since I've mainly worked on family requested commissions most of my life so at the moment I lack a lot of ready to sell original artwork.

How do you established artists do it? Is there a website Im missing that would really give me the kickstart I need? Do I just keep doing what I'm doing until something comes up?

Sure, you can see my work here. None of it is particularly formatted for screen printing but the Game of Thrones series is a fairly good example of me using limited color in a way that could be modified to the style you want.

For the record I wouldn't expect you to put in the work to digitize anything as detailed as most of the pieces I have up there, I would just redraw simpler versions in Illustrator and save everyone some time.

I do a fair bit of fantasy and semi realism. My portfolio is in a couple places but the one on behance has a mix of realistic and fantastical stuff. Take a look and if it seems like a fit drop me a line.
