[Interest Check] Art Sponsorships?
6 months ago
Happy spring! I hope ye all have been well, I wanted to gauge the interest on this shower thought I had the other night for art sponsorships!
What it is:
The idea is that people can donate towards any personal WIPs I have (fanart & originals) that they want to see me finish. Commissions & adoptables will not be in the sponsorship program.
Unlike the Patreon, which is a generalized subscription, sponsors get to pick the artwork they want to fund as a one-time donation. Besides credits, sponsors will receive the full res (3-4K px) version of the final art as thanks. As this is a collective effort, you get something regardless if it's just $1 in the pot.
As for why?
Something I miss a lot from my younger days has been the sense of freely sharing things I like through art and finding community via other people who are into the same fandom or themes. As skill improves, finished work takes more time, and (as a responsible adult) I have to prioritize living expenses.
I'm still gonna make my own art regardless for the public, but I see it as a way to open the floor for those who want to see me not take 87 years to draw a Pokemon lmao. I want to build this in a way that is sustainable especially for people who are not in the best place for subscriptions or commissions.
I'll take some time to sit on it since I want to clear out my commission queue some more first and these things take time to set up anyway. Thoughts and suggestions are open!
Shower thoughts aside, life's been busy but going OK! I'm still kicking around in blue collar work these days, got promoted pretty quickly and now I'm taking textile classes to be an inspector which is why I'm pretty quiet these days. Unexpected trajectory but such is life! In terms of lighter news, started watching Gundam Wing with no context (after finishing G Gundam) which is certainly a kick with vintage anime-isms and things that would absolutely not be OK in this decade ahaha.
