I'm looking for an artist that can show me a portfolio of their work. I want to commission an artist to do at least a sketch but prefer an oil painting of monk character.
I do digital painting, not so much actual oil. If THAT floats your boat, I'd be happy to.
I can email you a copy of my portfolio.
Still looking (.) (.)!

For the future, when you're looking to hire a freelance illustrator and decide, for whatever reason, that they aren't right for the job, it's a good professional courtesy to email them back saying such.
Check this thread for some artists who take such commissions. I'd heed Ellis' advice on keeping such requests courteous as most of the artists have plenty of paying clientele already.

You are correct Ellis. I apologize for not getting back to you.
On one of the Know Direction Paizocon podcasts someone (I think it was Louis Porter Jr.) recommended that if you are looking to commission a piece of art, do the following:
-go to Deviant Art (or a similar website)
-find an artist that you like (Wayne Reynolds, for instance)
-look at the "other recommended artists" for someone that has a similar style
-Start surfing around until you find a list of artits
-Start sending emails to all of them to find out how much you can get your artwork for.
-if you pay as soon as the art is done, they will understandably be willing to work for you again. The inverse is also true: If you don't pay them, they probably won't be willing to work for you ever again, and will likely tell other artists to avoid you too.
thanks Itchy and Laithoron!
