The Commissioner
14 years ago
So... yeah. Turns out I have money and I can buy commissions now. I promised myself I'd get a few works under my belt first so that I could feel like I was actually contributing, as I.. kinda have. I'm still discouraged by the small size of my portfolio, but I think I'm comfortable now asking for things. It feels weird, and I can't explain why, but it probably has something to do with my shyness and difficulty asking for things I want. On the other hand, I feel somewhat empowered by it. I feel like I'm The Commissioner, like I'm some sort of crime-fighter. I want a cape now.
The first commission I've gotten is from
Aokmaidu. He was pretty patient with me throughout the process, and I'm pleased with how it turned out. Stingmon's a personal favorite of mine from the Digimon series. I used to have fantasies about him, Leomon, and Ogremon. Leomon always gets a lot of porn made of him, but Stingmon and Ogremon are woefully underrepresented. I felt that I had to correct that.
Actually, I think I know why it's so strange commissioning people. I've been following Aokmaidu for a while now, and considering the quality and the subject matter that he usually creates, I guess I thought of him as something of a celebrity in the FA world. It's the same with others, too. I've been on FA for several years now, but all this time I was just lurking, until less than a year ago. Getting to talk to all these people I've watched for so long, meeting these "celebrities", it feels a little larger than life. On the other hand, I've heard some people praise my works and recognize me from my Daniel's Den series, and that's a little unnerving, too. Then again, I tend to be humble and even degrade myself a bit when I receive compliments, so I guess there's no winning there.
So, that brings me to this... I'd like to get more connected with the fanbase. I don't think I'm ready to open all lines of communication yet, but I would like to meet and do things with some of you all. Not physically yet--it's kinda hard to meet someone in Afghanistan--and I'm hesitant to give out my IM names to people I don't know very well. But if any of you frequent Eka's Portal (http://rp.aryion.com ), look up Tory, Gruff, Pred_du_Jour, or Ruse (that's in order of frequency). Also, if you want,, reply this journal and I'll scour your gallery and scraps folder. I'll pick out what I feel is your greatest work to date and may add it to my favorites.
Commissioner, AWAY!
