I Went Undercover as a Fiverr Pokemon Artist

We've all have had a thought like this at least once - how much do Pokemon artists make, and is it worth it? Well, in today's Pokemon video, I will be going undercover as a Pokemon Artist on the freelancer service site Fiverr, on which I will be creating art and doing work to see how much pay is to be gained in such fields like this!

Oh man my genovor made the thumbnail lol thanks again for helping me achieve a step closer to my dream!!!

Hey, I hope it goes well :)

[@mystora7159]

Coincidence that I commissioned a sprite for the first time on fiverr a few weeks ago too! Too bad I didn't stumble onto your account lol, it would've been fun to be in the video

[@littl3evee]

fiver takes TWENTY PERCENT of tips??? Why do people (that aren’t ai scams) even sell on there???

[@awesomeististiism]

@@littl3evee I assume fiverr does it to stop comissions going through the tips system, worried people would do that to take a larger cut (of which they deserve but fiverr doesnt agree) but also tips are already used as a good willed system to support a person directly and theyre taking from that? I imagine with a message letting people know of the cut but it should be called something different.
I dont know if advertising other platforms is allowed on fiverr but that should probably be used to move comissions to a better cut.

[@yopi_yopi]

I need to talk about the price being criminally low 😭

[@honeyshuckle9742]

Thank you or showing honest experiences like this! So many accounts go 'I tried this for X time' and immediately boost themselves unsubtly with their main.

[@RetroNC]

Agreed! I mean, it makes for a more entertaining and authentic video, so I don't see why not at the very least try it like this haha

[@Soracion]

I've actually been actively commissioning Pokemon Fiverr artists over the past month or so. Little sad I didn't come across your gig.

[@RetroNC]

Atleast you supporting other artists, that's what counts!

[@ScottPIayz]

Fiverr taking percents of tips is the most scum of the earth activity ive ever heard of, i bet most people dont even know that because its probably deep within the terms

[@ScottPIayz]

Side note, fantastic video, loved it

[@dexterity494]

Pretty sure it's illegal for an employer to take a cut of tips from their employees in america.
Don't know where fiverr lands on "employer," nor what the laws are for a website potentially not hosted in NA, nor for an employee that's not in NA, but it'd be interesting to look into.

[@dingusjoe7974]

It feels illegal to be this early. I love what you do, man

[@RetroNC]

thank you for the fuzzy feeling - here's your reward king 👑

[@cowboychickennugget]

I happened to stumble upon this video on my feed and I absolutely loved it! I love when artist go undercover as a noobie and work with clients! Please make this into a series if you can!

[@AP-gb3pq]

aww this was so sweet, great video!

[@protopixelart]

please i would love a better alternative to fiverr, i mean, there i have a few clients but the wait and the 20% is killing me, please talk about better alternatives!!!

[@RetroNC]

Like I say in the vid - searching on Discord and Reddit for dedicated places to offer your services could be a good start!

[@CAMSLAYER13]

@protopixelart its not gonna be that easy but you would need to go freelance and build your own niche. Anything like fiver is gonna take a cut and have too many people or not enough customers

[@supe_nova]

@@protopixelart your gonna have to do commissions on social media platforms, sites like fiverr will always be untrustworthy do to the cuts the take from you

[@Re-verso]

Good video RetroNC😎👍🏻

[@RetroNC]

yessir

[@ichigo3003]

That tip cut is obscene... but your sprites are great!

[@619Slipk]

A third of the video went by and I'm -starting to think- getting an IMPRESSION that there will be not sprites made in this video

[@GuanlongX]

And I watched the whole thing and you're wrong lol

[@Awan2407]

Wow, what a video👍

[@supervideosxd7041]

Holy moly

[@fil-_-]

Hell yeah, make another vid about other commission websites

[@lukasoliverleo3730]

Lockémon spotted!
Are you involved with the Kaskade fangame as well?

[@RetroNC]

Nope, just had a one-off commission from someone that enjoyed the designs haha

[@Potent-potential]

When you become famous remember me.

[@artsyvids2563]

You could try Vgen though its not common for pixel art

[@FabioliRavioli]

Mama mia, thats-a spicy-a meatball!

[@zachariahm.kemper7406]

Liked it til the 1 star never came back from the thumbnail

[@torterratortellini6641]

Make intentionality bad Fakemon so you could get free art from this person.

Why do you speak so slowly damn had to watch 2x speed
