Help! An experiment in commissions....
13 years ago
From the Desk of Jack the Gorilla....
Just using this journal to lay out a thought....
I was just curious if any of my work was good enough to warrant opening myself up to commissions. Because like most people, I do like money. The question then becomes what should I offer?
I consider my writing better than my art, but it's always been a dream to draw comics/art by request as well.
So if I offer it all, or see what I'm good at or known at, I get a small menu of what I can do.
From that menu of meager artistic offerings, I then have to attach a price tag....which I suck at the price is right. Meanwhile I don't want to over charge, or charge so low that it's a waste of both mine and the client's time.
So this is the best 'menu' I've come up with. Basically I'm looking for people's input on if this is reasonable at all. I'm still not sure if I should under take it at all however..... Some help would be appreciated.

Written:
3 Page adventure, Clean $2
7 Page adventure, Clean $4
4 Page adventure, Filthy $6
10+ Pages of Filth $15
1-2 Page Medical Report for Fursona $2
(A comprehensive, indepth and pseudo-scientific profile on the psycological and biological aspects of your Fursona, written up by Doctor McPherson.)
Now this is a tenative list of what I'll think I can manage vs demand. (of which I doubt there will be much, so should I post this, should I throw up banners "COMMISSIONS OPEN". what is the BEST way to get a good test on these? Thats what I want, a dry run to see if this will work, or blow up in my face so violently that I'll run away from the computer for years.
Thanks Everyone,

Thanks for the info and comments, with them I've been able to tease out my meager commission ideas. Thanks everyone,

what about if you did a combo offer with your 1-2 page medical report with a few poses and such so its like an epic ref sheet?
