Looking for an artist open for commissions

[Alpha-One]

Any artists here who are open for commissions, or anyone know of any? I have something pretty specific in mind but I don't know where to even look nowadays.

I'd start with this thread.  Best of all, you can see examples of the various artists' work, so you can better decide who fits the bill...

That thread is certainly a good resource, and there are several artists with their work linked there that are active in City of Heroes if you want an artist that is familiar with the game.  In terms of where to find artists otherwise, these days I tend to find them all over.  Deviant Art was my go to place to hunt artists for a long time, but these days I've also found artists through Instagram, Twitter, Tumblr, and commiss.io to name a few.

What does commission mean? Does it automatically mean that the artist is paid for the artwork?

To commission means to order or authorize the production of something. In this case, a piece of art.

With the way the world has been working recently, people generally tend to trade their time for currency.  So yes, you should definitely expect to pay. How much, however, is up to you and the artist.
