I am a firm believer that if you commission something to use for social media you NEED to be tagging the artist you
commissioned from. It is a piece they made specifically for YOU!
Apr 13, 2025 23:50If you buy a random thing off lets say etsy i wouldnt say tagging the store is necessary but hey it sure is nice! If you like the piece wouldnt you want to help support the artist with getting them business?
But for commissions, specifically cosplay commissions, if you arent tagging the artist...
One it looks like youre claiming the work is yours effectively lying to your audience
And two you arent doing your part to help your community thrive.
Those artists being commissioned are soooo excited to see their work loved. Its really not hard to tag them.
