TheyRave for commission artists
Proof for the client who has never paid an artist before
TheyRave gives you a review page at an address that stays yours: buyers write a few lines, you approve them, and they stay yours.
Claim your pageCommissions get paid before they get made, and most people asking have never done that before. What scares them off first is silence after the deposit, and then art that does not match the sketch or a deadline that keeps sliding. Your gallery cannot answer any of that for them. Six past clients describing the process can, before the first message even gets sent.
When to ask
The moment you send the finished file and the reply comes back in all caps.
Send the link then rather than a month later. People write in the mood they are in when the link arrives, and that is the mood you want on the page.
What to ask
The form has one box, and what goes in it depends on what you asked. These get an answer a stranger can use. “Great artist” does not.
- What did you ask for, and what did you get?
- How was the process, start to finish?
- Would you commission again?
What lands on your page
An example, written to show the shape. The name, the tags and the verified mark come from the reviewer and the link they used, and nothing shows until you approve it.
Example
Asked for my dog as a knight. Had sketches in two days, got updates at every stage, and the finished piece is framed above my desk now.

Worth knowing
Drop the link in your commission form's confirmation and in the message that goes with the final file. The second one is the one that gets written.
