I have been following the AI art scene closely for almost two years now, and playing around with Stable Diffusion (recreationally and technically) for the past few months. Although AI makes high-quality art more accessible, there is still an expertise and hardware barrier to achieving the best results possible. I hope to bridge that gap for those so inclined to commission me.
What is this?
Pay what you want (minimum offer $1), and I will make you art of whatever you want. Not necessarily in that order. PM me on Derpi or Discord (Paracompact#0249) to discuss.
Who am I paying?
Not me, and I don’t want any money passing through my hands. Instead, I will accept as payment a proof of donation given to any of the following sources:
If your request is challenging and you don’t intend to donate much, you may not get art on the level of what’s on my commission sheet. I’ll let you know what to expect ahead of time.
(If you’re fine with art looking somewhat melty, artifacted, and patchwork, $1 should suffice for most everything.)
What’s this about AI?
My workflow is primarily enabled by various AI, but because all of my creations are individual projects (I do far more than just feed text into a box and call it a day), the bulk of my time is spent finetuning custom models and doing touchups in a photo editor. High-effort pieces can still demand hours of my time, and I’m mainly doing this for fun and feels.
I’ll give any prompts involved and information on my process, but on their own they may not be worth much.
Whatever I want? Really?
Well, not really. My only hard rule is that I retain the right to turn down any commission, and that includes porn. Suggestive is fine.
As for soft rules, it comes down to limitations of the technology. In general, expect a tradeoff between quality and specificity for any commission. There’s a reason most AI art out there nowadays is portraits and nonspecific landscapes. With enough time and effort, I can manually mockup and inpaint a full-fledged scene with multiple characters through an iterative process, but it’s far from easy and your mileage may vary. The more details you leave up to my the AI’s discretion, the better off it’ll be.
If you want me to feature a non-main-cast character or OC with a highly specific likeness, I will need high-quality references—five or more is preferred. Even in the best of cases, this will significantly add to the difficulty of the commission. If you just want me to create an OC with suggested features, though, that’s quite doable.
You can ask for a general style (sketchy, painterly, photoreal, digital comic, etc.) and I will try to comply. The AI tends to be good with this sort of thing, and can even outright steal the style of an artist if finetuned on a few of their references. If you want me to closely emulate the style of another artist, I would need their permission.
I’m also more than fine taking commissions for non-pony things. It tends to be a lot easier, honestly.
