I need to raise $400 very quickly, ideas ?
9 years ago
So my mate and I are in a personal predicament that I would really rather not get into due to the fact that my mate wants to keep this very privet (which makes this kinda hard for me to ask for help for..)
But because of it we are in a scramble for money
I don't want to beg or ask for donations, let me make that very clear right now.
But does any one have any ideas for what I could do? I'm considering offering maybe a colored sketch bundle? Where you get 500 worth of colored sketches (10 character tokens , meaning either you could get 10 colored sketches with one character or 5 colored sketches with two characters or any mix, but you get 10 tokens so to speak)
But I feel like that could be a hit-or-miss kind of thing
So does anybody have any ideas? Of things that you would buy or contribute money to such as a picture series with Sammy or something?
I'm open to anything, and normally I would just couple this with my normal work and just take basic commissions for it but because of the time frame we need it in that would mean I would have to work around eight times harder than I am right now and sales are already doing bad.

FA+

Might be safer to do an art bundle, but I dunno what to put in something like that.
Breaking it up into smaller feasable amounts is the way to go!
Ideas:
Adoptables. My way of selling them is I create a character I'd want, if you yourself dont want it, how can you expect someone else to want it? Dont use bases, its a cheap way to make an adopt seem way less valuable. You can offer to do refs sheets for the character and a pin up as extra and all you have to do for the actual design is a clear design that gives it life and character. I find people are often excited to get art of the newly bought adopt, and chances are they like your design just as much as your art.
Comics. This one is harder to do quickly, but you can do something simple, it doesnt have to have multiple pages, just portray the sweet part of a thing people like and exaggerate on it. I dont do these often myself, but I know the value of comics are higher than a single image of a sex scene. Comics give the illusion of actual movement without the pain of animation, and so much more information that alludes to emotion and enviroment. Its great, I love comics, and I know others do too. I'd suggest making a comic a ladder auctiom if you try it, so you dont sell yourself under, but you dont struggle with NOT selling because the buyout price is too high. You like bondage and draw it well, so I would suggest something that has that theme, I've always loved the way you draw latex.
Animation. I don't know how confident you are on this, but animation is really popular right now, and a simple loop animation of a blowjob, titjob, disembodied dick fucking, any of that works and there's a LOT of references to check out to make it look good. Just dont half ass it- Also you do more sketches than lining, so you can be lenient on your lines and do some "sloppy" color to add effect. People dig the sketchy aesthetic, just dont price ridiculously high and dont actually be sloppy xD This is to make money quick, so make offers people cant pass up, and then later you could offer higher priced stuff. If you do an animation, make it a buyouy I'd say.
YCHs. I notice you do a lot of sketch streams, but there are a lot of customers who dont have the time to go and get the sketch, and some dont even have the energy to come up with their own ideas, if you put out a flat price YCHs, your chances of making your money faster is a lot more likeky if you do it flat price.
If you do do YCHs, I suggest posting them in a group picture, I dont know why, but reasonable, cheap, flat price YCHs side by side go FAST. The art compliments each other or something, its crazy.
I hope things work out for you Codeine, and if you want to do a collab YCH, gimme a shout, Im happy to help out anyway I can :)
Though this of course needs furniture and property.
To be really fair: There is no real way of raising THAT amount of money swiftly without getting yourself (at least very likely) into the crosshair of others.
Donations may be still the best way, but I can understand if this is injuring your on another level.
