Pixiv Rolls Out Third Monthly Update to Requests System 1

Back in October 2020, Japan’s largest online artwork community, Pixiv, rolled out a request system to its users. As its name implies, this functionality allows any artist on the service to begin accepting paid requests from the community, and should they like a concept, accept it, and produce it within a 60-day deadline. To date, more than 10,000 requests have been sent by clients to artists on Pixiv, with many of the first requests now having been fulfilled.

With this being a brand new concept introduced onto a pre-existing website, it felt like what we received at first was more a beta test of things to come. Fortunately, as the weeks and months have progressed, the website’s developers have continued to update the Requests System.

We to this day await for support for some of the more interesting aspects of Pixiv such as VRoid and sensei, but the foundations have once again been improved thanks to the latest monthly update rolled out onto the service. In their third monthly update to the service, Pixiv have added the following functions and improvements for clients and/or artists:

■ Request contents can now be translated automatically. The artist can click “Translate” in the request details to translate the content.

■ The Request Portal has been redesigned to make it easier to find users who are currently accepting requests, as well as requests in progress and completed requests.

■ To celebrate the portal update, the 3.99% commission campaign will be extended until January 12, 2021, 23:59 JST.

■ When a request is completed, an email will now be sent to the creator, the fan who sent the request, and the fans who shared the request.
