I've been pondering
8 years ago
"In your mind you see the truth.." SO - for the most part the past few months have worked out fairly well in terms of getting things paid for and what not, but sometimes it still feels like we don’t -quite- have some wiggle room for anything else. Not saying we need a HUGE wiggle room (tho that’d be nice obviously) but it’d feel a bit better to be sorta ahead of the game, ya know?
I’ve had an estimate for our total bill count for a while now, and calculated what that’d be for two months. Rounded it off and what not etc etc…
SO BASICALLY WHAT IM GETTING AT IS if I were to try to reach let’s say, $2200, what could I offer? I know I could do what I’ve done for holidays and take up to 100+ commissions at a certain price, but I feel uncertain as to what to offer other than ‘flat color/full body up to two characters’ sort of deal. They’d be at about $22 a pop.
Any ideas? Maybe I’ll think of something. I wanna possibly see if I can do this before May (just for like, a goal point)

Like... since it's getting close to easter there could be easter TFs or something of the sort?
A decent item sale generally gets people going for cheap impulse commissions, and maybe combine with Madmilk's comic page suggestion to optionally make your item into an X-panel comic at a certain price per panel minimum, say, three or four panels?
I'm struggling to think of something that would drum up enough interest to actually fill 100 commissions and also remain simple enough for you to actually deliver on. I mean 2 months is ~60 days so you need to be able to complete at least 2 of these commissions per day (for the entire period) to make that
I think a good idea would be something like TF Sequences, maybe offer it at $22 per panel? I mean if people are gonna buy 3-4 panels for a single sequence, you're looking at the same amount of money but spread across way less commissioners, far easier to drum up interest (you only need to get 30 people interested instead of 100). I don't think many artists offer things like this regularly either
This is another good example tho so thank you very much for your input! I'll def consider this as well.
