Hi!

I'm hoping to make some money off commissions, and I wanted to ask for advice about which alternatives people might enjoy enough to put money into!

I initially hope to solicit $200-400 worth of commissions. The fastest way to do this are sketches at $20/single figure + $10/additional without revisions, but I am also available for;

* inked drawings ($30/figure + $15/additional)

* flat colors ($35/figure + $18/additional)

* cell shaded pictures ($40/figure + $20/additional, will check with commissioner after penciling for possible revision)

* full shaded pictures ($50/figure + $25/additional, will check with commissioner after both thumbnails and penciling stages)

* model sheets or sequential pages can be discussed further

What I'll need to know are primarily are character appearance (references help!), personality if you feel that's useful, and what situation you'd ideally want them in. Please email me about this at JonServal at aol dot com with "commission" somewhere in the header; that way I can flag your email, and I have an email address to invoice now that PayPal's gotten a lot stricter about their policies.

Since I am trying to scout an area out and move, I would like to make a little more to cover those expenses beyond commissions. What would people find most appealing?

* straight-up asking for support through GoFundMe?

* creating a Patreon as a big tip jar as well as offering illustrations as rewards? Those rewards would be printable (300 dpi) art of monsters or prehistoric animals.

* creating a Kickstarter for a 20-30 page color illustration book, focused on either monsters in general or prehistoric animals.

Thank you for your time!
