I like them~ <3 They're usually much faster c:

Also, if you're worried about drawing something they hate, you could always prod them for their interests and see if the idea is compatible c:

Hmm true. Last time I tried that, said give me One keyword, and instead I got a lot more than that from more than one person. Haha.

I was considering stalking people's favorites though for all of 10 minutes to get a similar idea :3

I think they're a fun and wonderful type of commission to be honest. Just have to make it really clear what it is that people are getting, or more to the point what they're not. As you said they're WING-ITS, not some super specific here's my exact idea down to a T kinda thing.

Oh yeah. That's more or less exactly what I hate! I like having some wiggle room. Also prevents people from trying to describe a pose that requires me to draw it from the front, back and side all at the same time. lol

I WANT THIS SUPER INTRICATE COMPLICATED POSE BUT I WANT MY MURRHOLE SHOWING FROM THIS COMPLETELY ILLOGICAL ANGLE MAKE IT SO!

Looks like I shall have to draw this one with my pencil in my ear to make it work! :O

Actually had one artist give me a huge sigh of relief when I told them to please draw the pose anatomically correct and even suggested an alternate/accurate pose instead of having them do this betrayal of anatomy just for the sake of showing a hole.

hahaha :3 Yeah. I did something similar on one of my commissions a while back, where either an arm had to be extremely long in one part or else it'd cover up the dick. I'm not against taking a little leeway with anatomy, but only when it's something that it'd take staring at for quite sometime to even notice.

Allll for it~

Well i was truely amazed by wing it

Saikitten

I tend to like them quite a bit. Get a little bit of a surprise, sometimes something you don't quite expect, but in a good way~

I like wing its. the suprise me thing is just another aspect of it good or bad.

I generally love them, and can't wait to see you open again. :3

they're pretty fun. ^^

Wingits are cool! How would you price it, because I think I'd like to get one at some point =)

Ah I was thinking about the same as my current commissions, 60 for a 1chr and 100 for a 2chr. Same amount of detail, if not a little more. I was also going to use it as an excuse to draw more clothes :3

I'd like to get one if you open, but I need to have a look at my funds first. Might be able to afford a 2-char if I split with someone, but we'll see. I think the idea is a good one =)

Sounds quite risky to me :/

I've always liked the concept of wing-its.
Particularly because I may not always have an idea for EVERYTHING I want in the picture to begin with.
As a result, just saying "Here's my character, have fun" sounds like fun!

It's funny, I used to prefer people telling me what to draw, but now I like the idea of having control over the picture. Partially from an artistic stand point when I know what I have to draw incorporates bad composition, either line or color-wise. lol

But yeah, I did them once before and I enjoyed the freedom. And I suppose people wouldn't buy them if they didn't like the idea in the first place!

I think your wing-its would be awesome! :D

I like that

I like the idea :)

I really like wing it commissions, because I don't always have an idea of what I want, or my ideas don't really fit with the artist style, or they have done the same thing 100 times already.

A lot of wing its I've seen the artist asks you to pick a theme, or list two or three words, and a little about the character's personality.

Yeah that was something I was considering as well. I did them once before, and did a 'keyword' sort of thing, and it worked out alright except for the random two or three that gave me a bunch of keywords lol.

Well I don't think there is a way you can escape the few that can't read and follow basic rules. I guess the best thing to do is warn people that if they can't follow the rules that you lay out then they will not be able to get a slot. Or you could always choose a few you like best and go from there, but that I think would ruffle a few feathers.

I agree with the wing it commissions. It lets you have fun with it and like you said, you can use your own strengths to deliver a better outcome. As for looking at stalking user's likes/favorites, some of them can be all over the board. I would recommend looking at their commissioned work to get better idea.

Ah I can see your point. I think my favorites would be an example of that! I don't really favorite porn for being fap material. More so because it's drawn well. haha But nah, I might consider doing that as well. Or maybe just try to do the keyword sort of thing. Ah we shall see!

The key word would be a good direction. You would still have free will to do what you want with the work yet have a general direction to run towards.

Oh annnnnd gotta say. MTD Livewire FTW! Best orange soda ever. Just wish they sold it where I live haha

Hey, if you're in the states, i'll ship ya some.

I personally really liked the idea of a "One word" theme last time. I thought it worked out pretty well. I'd definitely say it's a good idea.

Awesome! :3

Could be interesting .

Wing Its are nice but the "one word" version wouldn't be enough for me.
For me, at least theme and rating should be included and if you want frontal or back view. Everything else could be up to the artist.

Sounds like something to watch out for.

A 1-2 word theme sounds good, plus a rating (tame/sexy/...) and a sentence or three for the character's personalities. Wouldn't fit to have you put a water-phobic character in a pool or let a pure dominant one get fucked, you know.

I wish more people offered Wing-it commissions. Sometimes I feel weird asking artists to draw super specific poses without any kind of return commentary from them. I would rather play to an artists strengths than just give them something they dont want to draw.

I think that for wing-it commissions, giving a bit of a personality type for the characters in the description is a good idea. It gives the artist a better idea of what would be appropriate for the character to do.

Where do I sign!?

I think a majority of what I've commissioned have been wing-its.
As much as I hate to admit it, I kind of have no idea how I want my characters to be posed or what they should be doing.
So I figure it's better to just let the artist work to their strengths than try to come up with something which may be critically difficult for them. That sounds to be in the same vein as you being afraid of a commissioner hating what they get from a WI comm.
My response to those people would be "...You did know what you were paying for, right?" Though this discussion has made me realize that people apparently do not know... oh well.
Personally, I acknowledge that what I'm paying for is the artist's expertise and that if I should be unhappy with it, it's more likely due to misjudging the artist's style than it is with the artist failing to produce something of quality.

So essentially what I'm trying to say is yes, do Wing-Its.

probably late to the party, but once you do open 'wing it' commissions ill probably be one of the first to get in on it.. I love letting artists have free reign ^^be sure to let us know when they are open!
