Joseph Lee just did a super fun commission for Justin – aka Twitch the King of Clubs – in his new sketch bust style. We love the photo Justin sent in, and we’re glad to see people having fun, informal sketches made! We’re certainly seeing sketchy styles gaining popularity. Sketches are typically fast and inexpensive, […]

We love this family portrait that Nicholas Flanders commissioned from Oweeo. Most of the family portraits we get feature really young kids, and while kiddies are adorable, it is refreshing to see mature people getting drawn together, too! Nicholas commissioned this piece for use as a unique Mother’s Day gift, which we think is the bee’s […]
People sometimes ask us why someone would bother to commission art when they could just take a photo. Rather than give our own answer, we figured we would let Tom Nelson, a professional photographer who recently commissioned a cartoon portrait by our very own Torri, for his take. Along with his explanation below, you’ll find […]
Though he started off by offering striking creature commissions on our site, Jimmy Yeung recently added a realistic portrait style at a very wallet-friendly price point. Here is the latest commission he has done in this style featuring Facebook’s VP of Ads and Pages (and all-around online art connoisseur), Andrew Bosworth. Though we get a […]
One of our favorite commissions to come through ArtCorgi lately is this husband and wife commission made by Carlos Rosario, depicting the couple as centaurs (in Denitsa Trandeva’s fabulous anime style). We don’t know if it’s their expressions, the cherry blossom petals fluttering in the wind, or just the fact that they’re centaurs, but this […]
As the internet is brimming with awesome fan fiction, it should come as no surprise that some of the best commissions floating around Tumblr, Twitter, deviantART, and Facebook are fan art. Fan art is the best! But here’s the thing- we don’t think that fan art needs to be limited to fictional universes. We like […]
Commissioning art online isn’t always straightforward, and on every site where people offer commissions (be it Artists&Clients or deviantART), there are slightly different processes. Here’s a refresher on how we work. We hope you find it to be helpful! :D
Many of the clients we’ve been working with lately have worked cool clothes into their commissions. We love the idea of living out one’s fashion fantasies through art, and decided to see if this has ever been done in the past. Sure, plenty of wealthy art patrons had themselves painted in their expensive clothes, but […]
This week, we kicked off a fresh series of targeted ad campaigns using Facebook and AdWords to discover which sorts of online audiences will be most interested in commissioning art from you. We’re starting with ads targeted at newly-engaged women who might like to commission original art for wedding invitations, favors, gifts, and keepsakes. Next […]
One thing we love about the commissions created on ArtCorgi is the manner in which they immortalize their subjects. When you think of how relatively inexpensive original art commissions are, they’re quite a steal when compared to other means by which people attempt to achieve immortality (e.g. cryogenics, large expeditions to the Fountain of Youth, […]
