@RainDrops

It all depends on the artist actually, well depends on the artist, the type of art, ect.

Most artists will ask you pay them in sP (they will have a junk item in trades or their shop you'll end up purchasing after they finish, or before they start the piece you've requested)

OR they will ask for items, which will result in a junk trade being set up, you paying using those items when or before the piece is started or finished.

Then there's paying with real money... you'd have to use paypal for that and I'm not familiar with that so someone else might have to explain.

I hope this helps?

@RainDrops Okay, here's pretty much how buying art works.

Person A opens up an art shop in the art market forum. They give examples of their work and prices.
Personbelike their art and offers to buy some. They give references of what they want drawn.
Person A draws this.
Personbelikes the drawing and agrees to pay.
Person A puts up a junk trade and Personbeoffers the payment on it.

Does that make sense XD?

Kinda @Amphigorey. Isn't it better to have personbetells what they want draw, person A draws and than personbegets a preview, they like it than personbesets up a junk trade and personbeaccepts...but than how do they get the art? By smail of coding?-maybe my thinking-not really sure. Or is it the preview coding?-lol now im confusing myselfXD I mean if you did it the other way you could get gippted couldn't you?=ripped off. Other way=Person does the trade first and than nothing happens=sad-probably rare tho

Thanks for the info @Amei

But that still doesn't really answer my question....what is a commission?

@RainDrops

To give someone that art, you upload it to an image site such as Photobucket or Tinypic and give them the image code. Then they upload it to their own account.

In theory you could have someone who stole the art without payment, but most people here are nicer than that and it's a reportable offense, so you don't really have to worry about it. It's also reportable to not give someone the art after they pay.

A commission is when you pay for someone to make something for you.

@RainDrops They can, but art galleries have been broken for a while.

I upload art to my own tinypic account so I don't waste the artist's bandwidth.

So they add the link to their account or can the artist just send it to that customers account? Also...whats a bandwidth?-like does it stretch out?

@RainDrops You save the image to your desktop and upload it to your account

Bandwidth is how many times the image is allowed to be used. Basically if I use the image from someone else's account, it takes away from the amount of times they can use their own images. Plus uploading it to your own account makes sure that you keep the image if the artists deletes it or their account.
