Art Questions
3 years ago
Well, been a while since I've done a journal on here.
I've been encouraged by more than a few people I either need to start selling the art I have, or do commissions. I've mainly avoided doing that as in the case of the former, most of the art is quite deeply personal to myself, and is based on my own world building (the closest stuff I've been willing to put up for usage is a set of flags, and they aren't even really for sale and I've personally put notices on those flags, effectively baring any commercial use). In the case of the latter, that's a combination of working out reasonable prices and actually managing to complete said commissions in a reasonable timeframe. After all, the last time I did a request, it took weeks to over a month to get done. And this is on top of me trying to balance my writing projects and an impending, very busy career job coming up which will eat away at a lot of my time, meaning even doing a small amount of commissions will be very difficult.
Not only that, but I've got so many different ideas buzzing around my head for art (and that's not counting trying to focus on my mix of writing projects) that it's not easy to plan out what I want to work on next. A situtation that will be made even worse owing to my new committments in the next couple of months and if I ever decide I feel ready to actually do commissions.
So, I'm putting up a Google Form about art stuff. It includes some ideas on what my current ideas for art pieces are (I've already had a few prices before, but figured I might as well get a refresh), questions on folks suggestions on commissions and what people are interested in (the latter especially stemming from the fact most pieces of mine have between 1-5 favourites compared to the 25+ I have for the Foxfire piece, and that's not going into the over 6K reddit upvotes I got on the first set of Solar System flags (and the latter barely got any)), so when I get into that career, I might have a better idea of what to work on and how to proceed with things.
The link to that is down below:
