Hii Hii!!!
I was wondering, How have you been getting Commissions? Ive been trying to get them but not much has come through?

Hi, Hello! It's so good to hear from you ♡ I'm doing good! Just busy with my main two jobs. So ironically, I haven't been taking many comms! I've had them closed for a bit to help let me catch up with personal art I've been meaning to do. (Mostly ref sheets and revamping some OCs!)
Also, Deadman will have a new chapter soon! I just gotta edit it~○°•☆
Most of my commissions are for streamer/content creator/roleplayer assets! So my animated/reactive giftubers, and stuff like emotes.
If such things aren't your forte, and you prefer to do illustration comms, I'd suggest making more fanart of canon characters. Especially if they're fairly popular.
Making art of your/your friends' ocs is fun, but it typically doesn't engage a wide comminity. It's harder to collect followers and attention when you're posting something that only a few people know.
So I suggest posting more fanart to draw attention to your work! It doesn't have to necessarily be a fully refined illustration even.
Make use of certain hashtags and trends. Find community spaces (like fan discords) with spaces for sharing art you make. Put yourself out there frequently.
And practice. The more you draw, the more you learn. The more you learn, the better you get. The better you get, the more attention you gather. Try new styles, new techniques. Don't do anything you hate, but step outside your usual art routine and keep yourself on your toes.
And most importantly
Love what you do.
Don't force yourself to conform to a style, or draw characters you dont really care about if it makes you not want to draw. You'll burn out quick doing that. I say this because I've been there and done that :')
Anyhoo, preaching/rambling aside~ I do not currently have a code right now, BUT I'm sure I'll get another soon for some event or another. I'll make a note to swing by your dms when I have one ♡
But keep trying in the meantime! I got mine by commenting every week on vgens twitter give aways. It took a year or so, I think?
