Pixiv Updates Request System in 4th Monthly Update

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 13,000 requests have been sent by clients to artists on Pixiv, with a steady stream of artists joining the service.

With this still being a new service implemented into a pre-existing website, features have slowly been added month by month. We to this day await for support for some of the more interesting aspects of Pixiv such as VRoid and sensei to be incorporated into the request system, but a few new features have been rolled out in recent weeks. In their fourth monthly update, Pixiv have confirmed the following features and improvements are available to clients and artists:

  • Creators can now send fans a “resend request” offer for requests that were previously canceled. Maybe the creator forgot to accept a request they wanted within the deadline… But now, they can ask to have the same request resent!
  • Completed requests now make it to the Home page of the desktop version of pixiv.

The ‘Resend Request’ feature is of particular highlight this month, and allows an artist to express interest in one of your ideas after the concept was cancelled through user-intervention or not accepting it in time.
