commissioned
Paid to create
Commissioned describes something created or produced by special order, typically for payment: a commissioned portrait, a commissioned study.
Military officers hold commissioned rank, meaning they've received an official document (a commission) granting authority.
The opposite, non-commissioned, applies to enlisted personnel who rise through the ranks.
To be commissioned is to receive such an assignment or authority: She was commissioned to write the biography.
