Species coming soon and huge art commission deal!
11 years ago
Alrighty, so I have a few species I've been developing and once I fully develop them I'll post up species guides/refs of them and start making adopts.
At some point I also want to make a species creation/development guide to help people improve their own species or develop their own if they wish. A lot of species out there are simply a jumble of animal parts or hybrids and it is completely unfair for any artist to just put together various animals and label it as a species but then proceed to deny others the right to create their own strange hybrid creature. If anyone would like to volunteer their own species that I can take and evaluate/review in this massive species creation guide please note me about it and I will give you more details. No I won't bash on any species, I will talk to you first about what I'd put in the guide about your species and if you don't like it you can withdraw your species as a volunteer. I'll post a more detailed journal about this later but for now I'll just mention it X3
Anyway I've been thinking about what I can do to get my savings up and no one has been interested in my individual commissions so I thought why not put together a huge art slave or package deal? Of course it'd be pricey but the total cost will be less than the value of the art based off my prices and I will also offer super exclusive stuff that is not even available for commission! With that said I will work on putting it together tonight and have it posted sometime soon but are there any suggestions on what I can add that you guys think would help me get a sale in? Should it be an auction or just a flat price? Should I make one big package deal or a bunch of little ones? Tell me what you think, what sorta things do you see in the fandom that work for other artists, etc..?
My bank account is slowly turning into an empty one with cobs webs and stuff so I REALLY need to get a money boost. I swear everytime I get a paycheck it is taken right out uugh darn payments. I REALLY need to move out and unfortunately that is expensive lol So if anyone has other suggestions for me besides an art package deal please do throw it out there! I'm willing to try new things, too.
Thanks for reading, guys!

This statement, so hard. It would be like if the first person who put ungulate antlers on a canine tried deny anybody ever to put antlers on a dog without paying them first (and as huge fan of ungulate parts on more common species like dogs and cats, I would have a serious issue with that). TBH avatar does this sorta thing as well... not to the extent of exploiting it of course but, anyone who wants a labrador/polar bear cross or platypus and a bear thrown together, everyone's gonna be like "Oh look they have that such and such avatar species as a character." and it makes it completely unoriginal in the Internets eyes (even if they may have never heard of avatar in their life and actually randomly came up with it themselves)
Half the point of originality is creativity, and slapping one and two together isnt all that creative, its cool and of course took a portion of thought but... still isnt quite that creative, especially compared to what would be involved in developing a completely new creature.
However, I can't wait to see your species, i'm sure they'll look great!
