Important question for custom base commissioners
a month ago
General
This thing has been in my mind for like a few months now, but just now I'm gonna bring it out.
There has been some situations, when I've finished custom bases, I've got prompts from those custom base commissioners to post completed base also to my store and make adopts to it.
I have generally been against this idea myself, just because of the commission rights.
But now I'm thinking, maybe I can add a question to the future form saying 'Do you allow this custom base to be added to the store for everyone to purchase? (yes/no)'.
If yes, it would mean;
-You will get -20% discount from that custom base commission.
-You give permission to add completed base to the store for everyone to purchase.
-You give permission for creator to make adopts to base.
-Base commissioner will be credited.
If no, it simply means that only you have permission to use base.
Maybe this way I can also get chance to show completed works from custom bases and I believe this would be a huge improvement to my base store too.
But ofc if commissioner prefers to keep base user rights only by themselves, I respect that decision too, no worries.
Anyways what you think about this plan for the future custom base commissions? ^^

I personally wouldnt want my custom base shared, but then again, If I get to choose against then thats fine :3
I think the biggest issue would be credit
Most furries struggle with that, I usually "co-share" credit from my adopts with the base author. One of us usually ends up not getting any credit at all whenever a buyer reposts their new OC, beucase people harldy care to check and do it properly ;w;
Very well said, Caromi
Though I wouldn't be surprised if they still didn't!
But yeah I agree with this; as long as there's a choice then it's totally fine.
While I would want to keep a lot of custom base rights to myself, I would very much consider sometimes allowing bases I commission to go up in the store and be used by you as well, as I'd love to also see the creations you would make on it!
A discount like would be great in times where I'd love to get a simpler base commission but am in a pinch for money.
I think a possible good addendum to this would be that the custom base will be added to the store, but 1 month after the person has received the base and is given the chance to use it exclusively for that short period of time! Just a thought! Either way I think this is a great idea to help you grow your store and for others to get their customs in the process <3
