Updates and Commission Plans for May
5 years ago
Hi!
I hope everyone is coping with current events and keeping safe!
The end of April is coming and I've got enough work to keep me busy so I'm closing commissions until May. But I've got some ideas brewing until then.
Digitally coloured commissions: I had a nice break from digital work, but I think I learned that I mainly dislike drawing digitally. And that I'm still ok to colour digitally. I'd probably go for a watercolour/coloured pencil look for these. So if I can get some new examples done I'll try to open for those for next month!
Traditional wing it commissions: Slightly cheaper sketch and watercolour painting commissions in exchange for artistic liberty and no edits or revisions. I'll still be trying to do my best work for these but I'll be able to get these done much faster! I think this would be a fun option for folk who wouldn't mind my take on their characters. But I wouldn't recommend this for folk who are particular about thier character's design or want more creative control.
Removing Ink and Wash commissions: Kinda hard decision because the effect can look quite nice but its been more difficult than I thought. I think I struggle with traditional colours when I'm using black lines? I'm not sure what it is but I've had to completely redo pieces a few times due to bad colour decisions. So I'm removing them for now, sorry about that! Ink options are still available and I'd like to use ballpoints a bit more c:
Patreon Plans: I'm not going to make one just yet. But I've been thinking about it a lot lately. One idea is having a monthly themed illustration (probs just a full body character painting to begin with) with more in depth wip's with explanations of my process for patreons. Patreons will also be able to vote for a theme like prompts for a creature design or an illustration. Maybe simple sketch and painting rewards kind of like the wing it commissions. I would try to use the same monthly theme to make things a bit more interesting! Physical rewards would be something to think about, but not until I'm already making a decent amount on patreon.
Just throwing out some ideas for now! I need to test things out so I don't overwhelm myself. The goal of this would be to get some support for personal projects and to give myself the opportunity to experiment more.
