Early Access — subject to change

After a mecenate sends you, an artist, a commission proposal, the proposal will appear in your Message Board under the Commissions tab:

NOTE:The mecenate has to be the first to accept the commission proposal, THEN you will be able to accept it as an artist. Please familiarize with the procedure on the mecenate's side so you can help them if things are unclear.

After the mecenate has accepted the details of the commission, you will see the button “Accept as Artist”. Click on it to see the form summarizing the details of the commission:

IMPORTANT:Make sure that everything is correct! If not, click on “Not yet” and you'll be able to go back to the commission conversation to fix the details that are wrong.

Close Commissions

Check this box if you want to close your commissions when you accept this one: your commission status will be set to “Commissions closed” and mecenates will not be able to send you new proposals until you open your commissions again from your Gallery Settings.

I acknowledge that [the mecenate] and not Mecenates is responsible for the payment of the commission

Please check this checkbox to confirm that you understand this . Finally, click on “I accept” to accept the commission.

Note that on the “I accept” button you will see the cost in Denarii to accept the commission as artist (mecenates don't spend Denarii, only artists do). To click the button, you will have to have enough Denarii to spend. If you don't have enough, you will be redirected to the page to buy more Denarii. Note you can do that at any time.

The cost in Denarii depends on the final price of the commission converted into US dollars (USD) at the day's ECB rate: if the price is in another currency, the USD equivalent is what counts, as follows:

Commission price in US Dollars	Cost in Denarii
From $0 to $24.99	0
From $25 to $49.99	1
From $50 to $74.99	2
From $75 to $99.99	3
From $100 to $149.99	4
From $150 to $199.99	5
From $200 to $249.99	6
From $250 to $324.99	7
From $325 to $399.99	8
From $400 to $474.99	9
From $475 to $549.99	10
From $550 to $649.99	11
From $650 to $749.99	12
From $750 to $899.99	13
From $900 to $1049.99	14
From $1050 to $1199.99	15
From $1200 to $1599.99	16
From $1600 to $1799.99	17
From $1800 to $1999.99	18
From $2000 to $2249.99	19
$2250 and above	20

If the mecenate accepts the commission and either you or them change any of the commission's details before you accept it as artist, the commission will be back to not-accepted and the mecenate will have to accept it again.

IMPORTANT:If the mecenates accept the commission and you work on it without accepting it, we will consider it a way to avoid paying us our Denarii for helping you find a mecenate and will act accordingly, so please don't do that. Remember that we think workers deserve to be paid; this holds for you but it holds for us as well. Also, remember that if you don't accept the commission it will not be counted on your completed work count in your gallery and the mecenate won't be able to leave a review.

When the commission is completed you can also archive it to help you track with commissions are open and which are done.

After a commission is accepted, the mecenate can also leave a review for to speak about their experience and rate you as an artist. The review will appear on your gallery and you will be able to respond to it.
