Update for Stream Sketches

Email: vicekillx@gmail.com I love doing stream sketches. They’re relatively quick, easy, fun, and give people a more accessible way to get custom art from me. They’re a great way for someone who wants to commission me to “test drive” and see if they jive with my style, personality, and workflow without committing to a larger piece. I get to meet all kinds of new clients and friends through them. They’re great, everyone loves them, yada yada
What I don’t love is that all but 6 of my 20 submissions from Halloween to New Years were stream sketches. In fact almost half my posts from 2023 were stream sketches.
I don’t wanna do fewer sketches, but I think I do want to post fewer sketches. So from now on I’m gonna start trimming back how many of them I post, at least publicly. They’ll probably all still end up on Discord, and maybe I’ll put them in scraps on the sites that have that feature (I haven’t decided yet).
But I’ve had people in the past feel some kinda way about me not posting their commissions, so I wanted to make this post to be explicitly clear about it:
What me posting your stream sketch DOES mean:
- Your character happens to fall into the middle of the venn diagram of my favorite subject matters to draw and the feeling that I really nailed the execution
- I want to attract more work in a similar vein
What me NOT posting your stream sketch does NOT mean:
- I don’t like how your sketch came out
- I didn’t enjoy working on your sketch
- I don’t like your character
- I don’t like/didn’t enjoy working with you
- I never want to draw your character again
- I don’t think the art/your character is “good enough” to post
I’ll probably also go through and move a bunch of old ones to scraps on my gallery sites. Hope that clears things up, and please don’t feel offended if your sketch doesn’t get posted. I just gotta balance it out better and I can only choose so many!
