is there any site like vgen that guarantees that artists aren’t using AI or at the least allows you to filter out AI bs, but also lets you pay anonymously?i hate paypal giving my fucking government name to the third worlder that im paying to draw weird porn
i didnt read the rules im a retard
Why even commission artists that you haven't been following on social media for years?Patreon is anonymouse (unlike Vgen, even for Paypal users) but it's not really designed for direct payments.
>>8072390I use Patreon. You can either use the shop feature or create a custom tier. With custom tier people are more hesitant and you may have to handhold them through it making sure to remind them to pay for the tier then immediately cancel the subscription, so I use the shop feature instead but either is fine. You can either create and immediately delete the tier/shop thing as soon as you accept payment, or alternatively I've seen people have multiple shop options/ a "commission" tier that's always available if they have really standardized/streamlined commission options. If you do this just put a text telling them to message you before paying (Patreon has its own DM system if you can't communicate offsite).Vgen can be anonymous only if you use the Vgen Payments option and nothing but that. That name is horrible because it's impossible to search for information about it outside of official documentation. While people will trust Vgen more than Patreon for commissions I still heavily advise against using it. Also you should at least try to follow Patreon/Vgen TOS (no loli, rape, animal genitalia, iirc on Vgen you can't draw porn at all) but it's still better than PayPal where you can get banned while following the TOS.
>>80725764chan ate my post somehow, this was meant to go firstPatreon only shows your Patreon username to the artist. It will be hard to convince an artist to use Patreon for your commission because they will probably think you're trying to scam them. I have seen very few artists who take commissions via Patreon because most prefer direct PayPal Kofi or Vgen (aka literally only direct PayPal) I heard Vgen Payments (NOT the PayPal payment option) doesn't dox artists and from how it works clients may not get doxxed either Subscribestar haven't used it but it might be safe, has a dedicated one time payment option but few artists will have itThere's crypto but again good luck finding an artist who isn't vehemently against it let alone knows how to use itFor artists: see >>8072576
