I'll be getting the tablet that I've wanted for a long time now very soon, which means I can finally do digital art once again. So once I do get it in a few weeks, I can add ref sheets to my options again.
My question for you is, what do you think of offering reference books? I am a writer by profession, so I thought a neat idea would be to offer reference books to those who would be interested. Books will include a ref sheet, a few expressions and poses, as well as any bio information and a small "bio ref," in other words, a little creative piece of writing that provides useful information about the character. Cover art and other details can be discussed for extra. Everything will be drawing in Photoshop, and page designs will be done in Illustrator for a professional look.
These will then be printed professionally either as spiral bound or center stapled booklets, poooossibly hard cover with professional binding if I can find a decently priced option for it...
Anyway, wanted to see what people thought of this idea. I think it'd be a good way to combine my two strengths (writing and illustration) into one and making something really cool for people.
The process and book itself won't be cheap--I'm estimating around $100.00 just for the detailed ref sheet (front and back view with any details like eye color, markings, etc.) and a well-written bio ref (roughly three paragraphs) which you can get in PDF format from me to print yourself, but it'll cost a bit more if you want an actual book (i.e., cover art, any additional artwork/writing) and if you want me to make it into a book for you rather than just sending you a PDF that you can send to a printer of your choice.
Anyway, let me know what you think! If you have multiple characters that you just want to include in one book, I'm willing to offer discounted prices per character.
I'll probably test it out on myself with my characters first, to see how it goes.
