For artists
Get paid for the work behind the work.
Share your process, sell high-res files and packs, and take commissions, with members-only images watermarked to the person viewing them. You keep 87–91% of every payment.
Share the process
Sketches, works in progress and time-lapses as members-only posts. Run a poll to let members pick your next piece.
Sell your files
High-res images, wallpapers, PDF tutorials, and brush or asset packs as ZIP files, up to 10 files per product.
Sell one piece or a whole series
Let non-members buy a single members-only post, or bundle a series together for one price.
Watermarked images
Members-only images show a faint watermark with the viewer’s name and a short code, and right-click saving is turned off.
Commissions and critiques
Take requests through paid messages, charged only if you reply, and offer 1:1 video calls for portfolio reviews or lessons.
Only as many spots as you can draw
Limit how many members a tier can have, so personal benefits like monthly sketch requests never get out of hand.
Ideas for your tiers
Examples to get you started, not rules. Use your own names, prices and benefits.

- Put your ByUs link in your bio and on your portfolio, and tell followers what members get.
