Oh no, I might open commissions again
8 years ago
So, good news, as part of my department's study abroad program I can finish my degree in Europe, which is huge because I'd get exposed to the real fashion capitals of the world. Downside is I need to start saving up, so I've been thinking of taking commissions again.
Let's be clear, I absolutely don't have the time to do fully colored, shaded, painted pieces. Besides homework and sewing for actual fashion degree things and a job, commissions stress me out. Last time I disappointed people and took ages and because I couldn't tell certain people "I can't draw that" my work suffered or I had to give a refund.
This time I just want to do tiny sketches, probably like $15, uncolored and unfinished but in enough of a polished state where I would normally begin painting over them. Something like the bottom pic here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17776867/ They'll be much more standardized, i.e. everyone gets a full body shot, whatever size, no special effects or clothes or activities, I'll pick the pose I think will work because a lot of the 'I can't deliver' problems I had were because people don't get that as size increases mobility decreases and I can't put a hyper bodybuilder into a complicated yoga pose.
I don't know, would anyone be interested in that? If I opened about 10 slots would that be fair? Really I just want these to be quick, 2 hour things I can get done when I need a break from sewing that way I can open them again soon-ish and put away the money for the semester abroad and not stress about. Would anyone pay for that?

Giving the artist freedom is by no means a bad idea haha
