If you're viewing on OLD Reddit, please have a look at our rules, as this sidebar may not be up to date. Below are the general aspects of our rules:

Post Formatting

Select a post flair that suits the type of post you're making.
Include the flair at the beginning of your post title.
If you are an artist looking for work, show people you're [For Hire]
If you want art, show others you're [Hiring]
For other types of posts, please one of the following: [Question], [Beware], [Meta], [YCH], [Adopt]

Post Frequency

No more than one post every three days.

Payment

All posts looking for artists for clients must mention a price so that others can know if the commission is a good fit for them.
The lowest price that is allowed here is $7.50 USD or equivalent. Exposure is NOT payment.
No crypto or gift cards.
Trading art requests for art requests is fine if a value is established for each piece of art.
Everyone should try to use services that can more easily prevent them from being scammed.

No AI

If you advertise AI-generated content, or any art that does not belong to you, you will be immediately banned.

Relevancy

Posts and comments made in this community should relate to commission work.
Portfolios posted on [Hiring] posts should relate to what is being requested.
Don't spam the same message on every [Hiring] post you see, and don't make it a novel to read.
Do not request NSFW content from those not offering it.
Selling existing content is not in the spirit of commissions. [Adopt] posts are fine, as long as it is not limited to selling existing art.

NSFW Rules

Nothing illegal, such as underaged individuals.
No heavy gore, scat, or extreme fetishes allowed.
ALL NSFW content must be tagged as such.

Prohibited Exchanges

No exchange of NFTs, gift cards, illegal services, or cryptocurrency, including video game currencies.
No posts on another person's behalf, as we have no way of knowing if the other person is banned, or if impersonation is involved. This means no large businesses.
Users replying to a post MUST comment on the post. PLEASE BE AWARE THAT USERS WHO DM YOU WITHOUT COMMENTING ON YOUR POST MAY BE BANNED SCAMMERS. THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN DO TO STOP THIS.

Prohibited Links

Reddit automatically removes link shorteners, and we won't always approve them.
Fiverr links are automatically removed, and we will not approve them, or any service which takes a large cut of the commission.
No shop websites like Etsy.
Portfolios must not require a visitor to have an account to view.

Professional Conduct

If you didn't make something, don't advertise it.
Obviously, don't scam.
Don't do illegal things.
Follow Reddit's rules.
Treat others with respect.
If you see something that should be removed, report it instead of starting a fight.
Posts may be removed at a moderator's discretion, but if you feel there has been an error, please reach out to us using the "Message the mods" option, and we will discuss any concerns you have.
