Crazy commission idea...
12 years ago
So I'm thinking of offering a new type of commission... Sort of an incentive to get myself working more with traditional media, and maybe something fun for the commissioners.
Here's the concept:
$35-40 for a "mystery envelope" commission. Basically, what you're commissioning is a complete mystery. It could be a single traditional piece, multiple traditional pieces, digital pieces or even a mix. In addition I'll probably throw in some of my loose traditional sketches done previously that I think the commissioner might like.
...have I lost you yet? Well let me try and explain it a little more- So you know those UPS or FedEx letter envelopes? I will make a piece or (most likely) multiple pieces of art to fill one of those envelopes and mail off when completed. This is real physical art. Or at least one of the included pieces will be traditonal media. If any added art happens to be digital; say, thumbnails or WIPs of the traditional piece(s) they will be included on a CD.
Here's the rub: The commissioner will only provide me with (1.) character design references for one or more characters, (2.) what they particularly like to see in art (species, anthro, feral, toony, sketchy, inked, colored, doodles) and (3.) Their address for the completed artwork to be mailed to.
The mediums will of course be a mystery. I have a ton of art supplies I never use, and so you could be getting conte crayon drawings, watercolor, colored pencil or even oil on canvas (oil pieces will be on smallish canvases... something likely to fit in a FedEx envelope or padded pack.
I should add at the $35-40 price would be for US addresses only and that locations outside of the US would be more, I just need to figure out how much more.
So... any thoughts? Would anyone be interested in such a thing?

I think that sounds like a great idea! A lot of people care about getting art without a specific theme in mind, and this makes it more fun, so I say go for it! :D
