The New Sot Times: Summer Rush // Commission Ideas
10 years ago
Hi folks. I thought I would keep you in the know with things that have been going on.
Some news came up that I had move out of my place. I was told it may happen, but had no confirmed date until an odd amount of short notice. Now it's my last day today, and most to everything is in storage while I stay with my family for the rest of the month. I have some leads for other places next month, so I hope everything works out.
Now, I know what you're thinking...
But, Sot, what were you going to do before you found this out?
I was going to open up for commissions for a bit. Mainly as testing waters. Some people are interested in commissions from me, but I don't know how many would be interested once actual money is involved. You know how it is. Frankly, I've been running around with a new thing for months. New job since January, along with school, summer school, summer events. Family wanted me to take some extra supplemental classes after summer school, and I was going to say no before I found I had to move out. I also have a trip for two weeks coming up at the end of July, which will be fun, but it has been a peg in all of these things I have to work on. I haven't really had a break to sit down and relax for months.
However, I recognize August in my life as two things. It is the most boring month in the year, and nothing happens during August. School will start up again at the end of it, but if things work out, I will have some more free time. Will I open up for commissions? Yeah, probably. I want some help from you, though. Read carefully now.
I want to do a thing of weekly themes for commissions. For the people who take the slots for that week, they will get a specific kind of picture. Some ideas
- Before and After for a normal-to-big size difference.
- Icons
- Mid-transformation. Difference in TFed body parts.
- Practical uses of bigger characters.
- Badges (I got a unique idea for these, but it's top secret cause it's that great)
Those are some ideas I hope to use, and possibly rotate over when I have no idea what to do on a certain week. While this would give me some money, this is moreso practice to help me find a style that is quick, justified, and detailed enough to use for a webcomic. I'm looking for a "short-hand" for my drawing that I can use to put out comics that still have quality. Ambitious, but that's my goal. Also, money. Yeah.
Do you have an idea for a weekly theme? Please, do post it in the comments! Here is the criteria you need to remember.
- It can be done over again with each person, like a template.
- The format encourages people to think creatively to make their picture unique from the others, like a sandbox.
Post below if you have something that I can use for a weekly theme, and I'll definitely think about consideration. I'll put my hand on my chin and nod. Hmm, yes.
Hope you're having a good summer!
