Deviation Actions
I was just checking out Deviant's Commissions breakdown. They take 20% if you use them? That's insane! What are they doing to earn that 20%? A little marketing and giving you a forum? That's more than most agents would charge to actually FIND you work.
I feel like they are taking advantage of gullible young artists. That's just my opinion.
New Artbook Kickstarter!
I'm Kickstarting my latest artbook which is actually a reboot of my first artbook. The new version is going to be bigger at 7.5x10" and have an extra 52 pages added to it to make it 100pages in total.
Here is a link if you want to check it out.

Core membership
In 2 days my core membership is expiring. A year ago I would have probably paid the money for the upgrade but these days I'm not sure if it's worth it. DA just isn't what it used to be and although they've made improvements it's still feeling like a bit of a relic to me.
Anyone else feeling this way? Should I renew? Curious to hear your thoughts.

I didn't read that far into the commission details to see that detail. I suppose it wouldn't be that big of a deal if you only dealt with very small commissions ($15 or less), but even then it's still a large chunk. 1/5 of what the artist has worked to earn doesn't seem fair at all. I don't know how they came up with that figure, but you may be onto something with the "gullible young artist" comment. Paypal is a freelance artist's best friend when doing work via the web.
