A new approach to commissions
a year ago
I enjoy buying commissions. I like seeing talented, open-minded artists take my ideas and give them a form I can easily share with others. Unfortunately, I don't make enough money to buy commissions as quickly as I come up with the ideas. I've been fortunate enough to afford a brief splurge over the past few weeks, but going forward I will have to be very, very selective regarding what commissions I get myself. But what if I didn't have to pay for them by myself?
I've noticed that many of my commissions have gotten love from users who like to buy their own commissions, and I think we could accomplish much more if we pooled our resources. From now on, if I have a big commission idea that can't reasonably be bought for less than US$100, I'm going to post about it in a journal. That journal will not be featured, and I won't go into too much detail in the journal title, so if you're worried about spoilers you can ignore these journals. But if you're interested, and in a position to donate, I'll describe my idea in as much detail as possible.
But you don't have to wait for my journals. You can also contact me directly if you're interested in seeing more of a particular character or continuity I've commissioned in the past. If you're lucky, I'll already have ideas in the works. I'd be happy to share them with you if you're interested, even if you're not looking to help me buy a commission.
If you're interested in co-financing a commission with me, you can add me as a friend on Discord or message me on Telegram- my contact info can be found on my profile bio. My notes are open here on FA as well, although the lack of instant notifications makes it a less preferable option compared to Discord/Telegram.
Splitting the bill among multiple like-minded users will allow me to commission the more elaborate scenes that would otherwise be outside my budget. I hope you'll consider lending me your assistance in this endeavor.
