Question about Custom Designs
3 months ago
General
Hey folks!
Here I am with a question regarding interest in customs.
Please feel free to leave a comment even if you are not interested in working with me specifically. I am gathering statistics ^^
So! Hypothetically, if you'd be looking for commissioning someone to make custom character design for you, what pieces you want that design to be made of?
A. Front body naked + Costume
B. Front body naked + back view + Costume
C. Front body naked + portrait
etc
Maybe some additional items for the character?
Let me know your thoughts if you have a minute to spare ^^

I do not care about outfits that much!
I think for anthro designs, nude front+back are pretty high up there.
For human/humanoids, nude front/back and costume.
I do tend to like when there's the option of "a la carte", where there's a list of options with costs, and you can customize? Like have a base price for a front nude, then an addon price for a back nude, an addon price for a costume on the base, one for a portrait, etc.
Plus as someone who has been given refs to work with that only shows the front, it's kinda frustrating when you can see that the colours & patterns wrap around to the back in some way and I have to guess how it looks.
Again, this opinion is biased as a artist who used to do commissions.
Clothing and props can be an add on maybe?
The more details you give such as props or clothing the more personality the character comes with, so it may attract some buyers but alienate others who want a more blank slate.
It's great to have so many opinions, it will help a lot
