Short form:
I might do some streams and take short-form B/W commissions

Long form:

"Alright..."
Today would normally be my "packing day" where I get my ducks in a row, printing up prints for my "book of art", banging out extra business cards, and then play Tetris with a pair of suitcases, so I can get no sleep whatsoever before setting out for a distant convention with 90+ pounds of luggage and an abundance of nervous tension called "fear of missing the Amtrak train that is my major mode of long-distance travel...)

It's the CON TRIP...

...We're not doing that (THWACK!)

[me again]
I'd tell a coronavirus joke right here, but you might... "get it"

So, Furnal Equinox is canceled (same for FWA and pretty much any gathering of ten or more people, you know, to limit the spread of the virus), and I have these vacation days that I did not cancel*, that would have encompassed the aforementioned packing, travel to the con and back, plus a recovery day before returning to work.

In light of having not a lot of better stuff to do during this time, I came up with the idea of virtualizing the bulk of my con activities, which consisted of sitting in Artist's Alley taking on-the-spot B/W commissions. I'm doing pretty well with digital drawing, have a Picarto account and have figured out a technical compromise that lets me use Krita and Open Broadcaster without the two murdering each other. Oh, and I have Paypal, so there's that.

I'm figuring that during the normal hours of artist-alley operations (typically 10am-5pm) I can complete at least two full-body B/W drawings. Because the above time constraint no longer applies, I might be able to do a little more than that if there's sufficient interest (history shows that's usually wishful thinking ), but I'm not trying to do a marathon session. Naturally, familiar characters will take less time.

--So, what'll it cost? For the aforementioned B/W digital full-body pic: 30USD, $15 extra for each additional character--same as the convention rate. Color upgrades are available later on for additional cost.

--What kind of content? from G to NSFW, excluding the usual list of squick topics (cub, scat, diaper, hyper, you know the drill)

--Payment method? PayPal. Payment will be due upon approval of the initial low-detail pencil sketch

--Delivery method: Mediafire link. You get a package of the 300dpi image, and a pre-shrunk 30% size version for posting on your gallery, Twatter, etc (I'll have to Bluetooth them to another PC to accomplish this, owing to technical issues I can't stream Krita in such a way that other activity remains hidden from view. When I get more familar with Clip Studio I can stream it in the manner where you only see that app.)

Slots? Technically I could start taking them today, but I will most likely start tomorrow, 3/19. You can indicate interest here in the comments, and follow me on Picarto so you get notifications when I start the stream.

Since I'm not a regular streamer and don't get a lot of commission traffic, I'll be tweaking the process as I go for this go-round. When FWA's time slot rolls around things may be a little more polished should I choose to repeat this performance.

(Disclaimer: I'm not in dire need of funding for real expenses. I am looking at acquiring a used Thinkpad laptop (i7, 16GB ram, IPS screen and preferably a discrete graphics card) to replace the Toshiba that's been living in my backpack for art-ing afield and is starting to suffer for it. I could buy something with those specs with the PP funds I have now, I just would like to not completely devastate my balance by buying it)

(Disclaimer edit 04/11/20: I bought the Thinkpad (a W541, Core i7 2.9Ghz, 16GB ram, 1TB hd, Nvidia Quadro k2100 video). And an Intuos 4 Medium to go with it since the ancient Grafire 2 I had been using with the aforementioned Toshiba came down with a case of 'cord fatigue-induced disconnections')
