Royal Affairs Update: Donation Drive
14 years ago
General
Ladies and Gentlemen, I have come to a decision: I want to have my story, "Royal Affairs," illustrated. I feel that it'll bring more enjoyment to the narrative over all. However, there are two problems....
Problem one: I can't draw... which leads to--
Problem two: commissions are EXPENSIVE!
This means that I have a few options, some of which are more viable then others.
The first option is to be ... let's just say "optimistic"... that's a good word. By this I mean I could pay for the drawings out of my own pocket and hope that the finished products gets my name out there enough so that I don't need to worry about it. However, this is an investment on my part that I may never make back... I don't like that as I'm still paying my way through college.
The second option is that I finish Royal Affairs, pay for the illustrations myself, and charge for the finish product. Again though, this puts me in a similar boat as the first option. I don't have a name in the fandom and it is completely possible that no one will pay for something without knowing how my work is. In this case, I would be totally riding on the name of the artist I commission for the art, and I just don't think that's fair. Plus, even if I offer to split the profits for their work, I still may not actually make any profits to begin with and end up out of pocket again.
so, with that spelled out, I have decided on this 3rd option. A donation drive! here's how it'll work, while I am working on Royal Affairs, I will be asking for donations towards the art production of it. To reach an acceptable quality, I am setting a goal of $200 USD. That will cover at least one quality color image for each chapter of Royal Affairs! If i can reach that $200, I will be able to provide the story to all of you free of charge. I have uploaded the first 2 chapters, so you can get a more than adequate idea of if the story is your cup of tea or not. If you like it, than donate to your hearts content! However, if I don't reach $200, I will be forced to charge for the final product to make up the production cost... which I really don't want to do.
That sounds fair doesn't it? yes? no? How bout I add one more incentive: donate, and you'll get an "early release" copy of the story :D complete with sketches and an extra "making of" story, possibly in audio form? You know you want to <3
