Hi there! I'm Kaleido, and I'm back to joining DA!

Just out here looking for friends, to improve my art, and some tips on commissions!

I've opened commissions and would like any tips on getting noticed and such. Anything would help a lot ^^

I'm new to a lot of Deviantart and hoping to learn to use it efficiently so please let me know of anything I 'd need to know

Thanks in advance!

I do have a tumblr, but I find it hard to gain traction on it if you don't have a decent following ^^"

Hi and welcome back to DA! I don't know a lot about commissions, but I agree with the advice you got already on how to get noticed. I hope it'll help you. I hope you'll enjoy it here! :)

:D Hey hey: welcome to DeviantArt!

I'm Kells, and it's a pleasure to meet you :hug: . I quickly went through your commissions and would suggest that $20 be the maximum price of your artworks. My general rule: if you can't sell your artwork for at least minimum wage in your area, then it's not worth commissioning your artwork. Keep in mind that your skill also has to be up-to-par with your price.

To get noticed around DA, you can...
  • Be active on the Forums. Simply saying hello and complimenting other people's artworks will surely make them visit your profile.
  • Join multiple, popular Groups and submit your artwork to those Groups. If you take a look at the footnote beneath my message, it indicates that I'm Admin of 3 Groups. All-Art-Wanted and TheDigitalWorldOfArt would be more than happy to present your artworks (be sure to read the rules though)!
  • Comment, favourite, and/or watch other people. They'll want to say thank you and, in the process, may make them browse through your artworks as well.
  • Join multiple contests. When you win a contest, you'll gain a lot of recognition for winning: it's worth the chance! Be sure to check out contests that suit your art style.
  • Be humble and kind. Nobody wants to hang out with a snob.

Feel free to send me a message any time if you have any further questions or need a friend! :)
