The deviantART community is full of talented artists and art appreciators willing to pay for custom artwork. Today, we’re excited to announce that we’re launching Commissions on deviantART to all Beta Testers, a feature that connects artists with clients, creating custom artwork in exchange for real earnings.
Commissions is a Profile Page widget that allows artists to market their talents by advertising what they are available to create. Potential clients can easily send artists a Commission request, which an artist can either accept or reject.
Profits made through the Commissions widget can be withdrawn as real earnings -- through check, PayPal, or converted to deviantART Points.
Generate Real Earnings Through Custom Creations
1. List Commission availability on your profile
The Commissions Widget showcases your offerings, showing potential clients that you are accepting requests. These commission prices are based on deviantART Points , are set in increments of 10, and can range from 10 to 4000 Points.
2. Clients request Commissions
Commission requests are sent to the artist’s Message Center, allowing them accept or reject the request.
3. You receive payment, you deliver artwork
Artists can track their Commission transactions and generate real profit through My Earnings , garnering 80% royalty on each transaction. Earnings can then be withdrawn as a check, PayPal, or converted to deviantART Points.
Try it out!
All Beta Testers can now install the Commissions widget on their page, so give it a try by heading to your Profile ! Installed Commissions widgets are visible to everyone on deviantART, so you can offer your own commissions, and you can request commissions from your fellow artists as well!
Please note: Currently, the Commissions widget can only be installed by Beta Testers, but everyone has the ability to request a Commission from Beta Testers during this testing period.
If you encounter any bugs or issues, please file them in the #devBUG Issue Tracker under the Commissions project.

So I finished a commission and linked it to the one who requested the picture, but do I have to do anything else to confirm that I finished? Like maybe mark it somehow?

I know this is probably a stupid question, but once somebody has ordered a commision, is there a specific way for them to pay? I've never got one from anybody else so I don't know the layout after you request one. Sorry ^^"

ikazon In reply to Lycanisation [2014-01-12 19:13:49 +0000 UTC]
Once someone requests a commission, if the artist approves the commission request the Points will be withdrawn immediately from the requester's account.

Yes, your earnings will show up on the Earnings page , which can be reached from the Shop menu in the header. The earnings you make can be withdrawn 14 days after the payment is made.

Hi there! You can upload the artwork to your Sta.sh and then share a link to it it with them in a Note, or you can submit the artwork to deviantART and then send it to them from there. Hope that helps!

How do I deliver the commission, do I have to "mark" it somehow that it`s done? Does the commissioner get a notification of it, or do I need to link it to the commissioners page? Please answer, I have been asking these same things from so many places without never getting an answer! :C I have never done commissions before

Hi there! Once you've finished the artwork, you'll want to send a note to the commissioner with a link to the artwork you've created. You can submit the art to dA and link it there, or if it is a more private commission, you can upload it to your Sta.sh and share the Sta.sh link with the commissioner. I hope that helps!

ikazon In reply to Corichii [2014-06-15 08:32:23 +0000 UTC]
The commissioner can request a refund, but the artist has to approve the refund in order for the points to be returned. Otherwise, the artist or buyer (or both) ought to file an inquiry at the Help Desk.
