How do I sell AI-assisted art commissions? Do I just make AI and non-AI tiers? Would it drive away commissioners? I haven't seen anyone sell AI-assisted commissions so far

I would be honest about what is AI and what is not, but i wonder if honesty pays.

>How do I sell AI-assisted art commissions?
Selling AI-assisted art commissions effectively involves a combination of artistic skill, transparent communication, and smart marketing. Here's a structured approach to help you succeed:
1. Define Your Style and Offerings

Clarify the AI's role: Are you using AI for concept generation, style transfer, base sketches, or full renderings with light human editing?

Highlight your touch: Make it clear what you bring to the table (refinement, composition, storytelling, etc.).

Pick a niche: E.g., portraits, fantasy characters, pets, book covers, concept art.

At this stage no, and AI art will almost always have less value than art made by a human, but eventually it will be embraced and at that point, artists that have been transparent about their use of AI and have made a name for themselves will most likely have their 15 minutes and potentially be able to sell it for far more than most actual artists because of their fame. The boogeyman isn't going away and will continue to be shilled more and more. Our government is literally incentivized to shill it.

They may off-handedly disclose it in a quickly forgotten twitter post. But I've never seen an artist offer options for both

Do you understand there's a billion ways you can use AI? Like generating a background, making a sketch and using AI to finish it, generating an image and finishing it yourself, or tracing, or using as a reference. You can also AI impaint certain parts of drawing while keeping the rest intact.

Average brainlet thinks you just type a few words into the prompt field anytime they hear the word AI

This looks unoriginal and uninspired to you?

I think you're trying to bait, but my argument isn't that AI can't create novel work. It's literally about time and effort. A typical artist has dedicated years of their life to their craft, the masters, decades. You can one click install ComfyUI follow a tutorial and be generating art that mimics that of a master in less than a few hours. An artisan's work takes longer and much more effort. Humans value time and effort when it produces quality. This isn't a subjective truth, it's a psychological fact.

There's room for skill expression and touching up with AI art, but they're simply incomparable when it comes to required skillset, time investment and accessibility. I'm not saying AI generated art can't be valuable, I'm saying that most prompters function more as creative directors that can't generate ideas that will make people overlook the fact its AI generated, and so their art will have little to no intrinsic value.

Morally? Don't, you fucking faggot.
Realistically? Fast food method.
The one real advantage AI has over real art is speed. I'm sure a lot of commissioners won't even care how slop your image is if you can consistently get it to them within the day or even the hour.

People give NO FUCKS about craft, they care about results. Also, I paint by hand too, and if AI allows me to create unique artworks in a fracrion of time, instead of a fucking whole month, with just some focused touch ups by hand, BETTER, BECAUSE I LIKE CREATING THE COOL AND BEAUTIFUL.

Why would anyone want AI in their commission? It's like going to a fancy Italian restaurant and ordering some spaghetti, only to catch the chef opening some heinz tinned spaghetti in the back, and serving you that.
Why would you go to a restaurant, when you could have just had tinned spaghetti at home?
Why get an AI commission, when you can just prompt yourself?
It's frankly just a gross scam.

Now if you're heavily reworking the final results, it's a bit different, but you should still inform people that's what you're doing - the kind of people who order commissions aren't going to be appreciative if they find out they've been duped and it may result in you essentially ruining your reputation and any goodwill you have, and no longer being able to get any commissions

Yeah? I don't use AI at the start and finish, my works are visually consistent and not slop. I'm asking how do other artists disclose AI assistance

Offer the traditional usual tiers (sketch, line art, flat colour, full render), but then give a cheap option to essentially have you tastefully upgrade their package for a much smaller fee.
They want full rendered but can only afford lat colour? Well for 5 bucks more, they can have something fully rendered by you... just... with AI...
And you can give them the flats image as well.

So your AI services can be like a cheap extra.

Most fucks will pick the cheapest option. Adding some color is literally a few minutes of work. You only end up with drawings that could have looked better if you didn't gave them the option to feel smart about saving $5. Tiered commissions are stupid. You get the worst kinds of clients if you do business like a grocery store.
