It's very very tough to get work here. Because there's not much work here to begin with and 95% of the commissions here are pre determined before they're even listed. And most of those are in the edjim, inusen or other main artists camp. So, my advice would be to observe which people post commissions, visit they page to see if they only pic 1-2 of the same artists all the time. Then, don't bother bidding on those people. Do that enough and you'll have a list of people who aren't worth wasting your time bidding for and then you can narrow it down to potential people who may not already have a predetermined artist planned. Also I have a 3 strike rule. If I bid 3 times and loses 3 times consecutive I don't bid on them anymore.
