Some Project Ideas And Updates
3 weeks ago
So I had some thoughts about possible projects coming up.
I am still doing art/writing commissions and ghost writing. In fact, if you're wondering why work on my own books has slowed down, it's because I've been picking up work in those areas. I still have my own book projects coming along, such as HOT GOBLIN GIRLS 7 and HOT RAPTOR GIRLS and ZINNIA 2. But when you're born poor (okay, more like lower working class--but poor enough) it's tough trying to continually get traction financially, so I have to spend my productive time on what pays.
Anyway, I have been thinking about some art projects I can work on between the larger book stuff, things I can do in small stages but eventually build into bigger projects I can sell. I've been thinking of joining SubscribeStar (and/or Fanbox or OnlyFans) to give myself more than just DeviantArt Subscriptions to showcase some of this stuff off and still earn a profit.
ADULT COLORING PAGES
Idea number one was Coloring Pages for Adults, and I mean full-on sexy characters in exotic locales doing sexy things; some clothed, some not, which I don't actually see a lot of. Deviant Art allows for Premium Downloads, so I could sell them through there individually for a price, for those who are interested, to either color digitally or to print out and color via natural media. And when I have enough I could collect them together and sell books of them on Etsy, at least in theory.
I would do originals and repurpose some older ink drawings , but with redone line art and backgrounds with others coloring it in mind. Usually when I ink I leave huge swaths of a picture blank because I know I'll add in details as I color, but I'd have to change that for coloring pages.
I was thinking of starting off with a series tentatively titled Hot Dino Girls Beach Party, which would follow the theme I was doing for my HOT DINO GIRLS ebook covers, and probably use a lot of the same characters.
PHONE WALLPAPERS
Again, something I can sell in sets via Premium Downloads and/or make available to my Deviant Subscribers, and is also sellable on Etsy eventually. I'd customize a cute/sexy characters (though keep them PG-13 given the nature of the product) and have them against various backgrounds and wearing various costumes. And again, I may repurpose older characters and artwork for that.
On a related note, I have abandoned doing Adoptables. I made a total of 13 Adoptables, and sold 4. Not an awful record, but also not sustainable, given the work involved in each. But some of those will likely also be the basis for my first phone wallpaper sets, like the goblin faeries or victorian bunny ladies I did a while back.
POSTERS & PRINTS
Technically I can already do this through DeviantArt, but I never really made a push for it. I can try that too, especially for tings like old book covers and such.

Anyway, this is me just spitballing ideas. They'll probably only bring in a trickle of money, but they'll at least be fun to try. Let me know what you guys think, and if you'd be interested in any of this! = )

The adult coloring pages sounds like a crazy idea. Again great idea on the phone wallpapers. Not sure on the posters and prints but you do have good ideas

Thanks. I don't expect them to sell in any great quantity but it should still be fun to do.

Agreed!
Hi. I’ve been following your work for a long time. I figured we both had similar financial backgrounds lol. I understand your situation. I’m glad to see you have so much in the works, and hope to support your work one day if I ever get a promotion that will allow for more discretionary income. Keep up the awesome work!

Thanks! It's always great to hear from fans who've been around a while, reminds me I'm not the only old timer still around, lol. And I appreciate your support, whether you buy anything or not. It's why I try to put up as much as I can for free, so everyone can enjoy the goofy stuff that somehow gets from my even goofier brain onto paper. Hope to keep seeing you around enjoying the hobby for a good long time yet!
