r/HungryArtistshiring posts only

r/HungryArtists is a commissions board: people post what they want drawn, and artists reply. Hiring posts are tagged [Hiring], and nearly all of them name a budget, which makes it one of the easiest places to see what work like yours is paid.

Character art is the most common request. The rest are illustrations for books, comics and games, and personal commissions, with budgets from $40 to several thousand dollars. Some requests are NSFW; we don't list those on this page.
