What is Artistree.io? Artistree is a new platform for digital artists to communicate with clients in a secure and simple format. Each commission is paid in full to the artist, and a portion of the platform's fee that is added to the total helps support the Eden Reforestation Project.
How does it work? What does a client do? The client selects their choice from the commission menu, then proceeds to the next page where they provide their name, an email they can be reached at, a description of their request, and supply any reference images that will be needed.
I read over the request, and when I feel that I can provide a proper quote for the finished piece, I will accept. Once the invoice is paid, I begin work. Sketches will be provided and we have the option to discuss the commission on the platform. Each time I provide an update, you will be notified by email. This is also how you will be informed that your piece is finished. Artistree will provide you with a link where you can download your files.
Do people requesting art need to make an account on Artistree? Only the artist needs an account. The client can use their legal name if they choose, or they're welcome to use a screenname, but I and Artistree will need a way to address you. More importantly, choose an email address that you will be able to access and check regularly.
What is the queue? Will my information be on display? The public queue is there so clients and potential future clients can see how many projects I am currently working on. No client information is listed on the public queue, only the type of commission and where it is at in the process. Only I will be able to see who has requested what in each given commission type.
