Musical Wing-Its
8 years ago
I was kind of thinking about doing these for a while. I sometimes get pretty strong color synesthesia to music, so I think it'd be really cool. Basically, the premise is that you send me a song and a character and I design the commission around the 'feel' of the music. Would anyone be interested? I was thinking they'd be $50 - lined, flatted and shaded. There would also be an ambient background based around the song's aesthetic. Since these are wing-its, the pose would be up to me, as well as the shading style - and I might play around with color palettes as well. The quality level will definitely be above simple shaded (which is the $50 commission tier).
I tend to prefer focusing on the music's feel, not its actual meaning, so I think I'd have an easier time deriving a strong aesthetic from instrumental / mostly instrumental songs over ones with the focus on their lyrics. Lyric songs are fine to send of course but I may not always use the lyrical content to make the aesthetic choices. Sending multiple songs for me to choose from would be a good idea in case I can't get into one.
There's no examples of this exact thing, but here is an example of simple shading: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/22102139/ The lines and flats will be of the same quality, the shading will be of better / more intricate quality, and it will have a background with 'more to it'. I may be a bit experimental with these things, but I'll make sure it's of a higher quality.
I recently got this commission that was done to music as well! http://www.furaffinity.net/view/23831826/ This one was a much bigger-scale commission, though - these wing-its won't be this detailed and they'll probably be a bit more freeform.
I can only take one or two slots at the moment, but I'd like to know if there's interest as well! I would love to do an iron artist of these sometime.

I'd get at least one, myself, if I could afford it! I look forward to seeing how these come out!
I'm excited too! :D (I love your username btw)
My queue isn't very full right now, although I may not be able to finish an extra commission before college starts back up on the 21st, so there may be a little bit of a wait depending on how busy I am and how large it is. If that's cool with you that's cool with me. I'll keep you updated of course too!
