With the ever-growing sea of AI-Generated art I'm still looking for an actual artist to commission. So far it appears there are practically none of the 'starving' variety, none mercenary enough, and those who's art style is acceptable. The slim number that are available either accept commissions very rarely, have waiting lists that make you watch for open slots non-stop only to see them filled within the first five minutes, stuck behind a payment method that can't be completed or sets off a fraud alert, or wait in a queue for so long you lose all passion and interest, the experience becoming a damn chore. If you're an artist that's genuinely interested, starving, mercenary and an art style I like (see the commissions in my collection that other artists have completed) then send me a note and direct me to samples of your work.
