Question for my commissioners/potential commissioners
5 years ago
So recently I’ve been feeling pretty stagnant/unhappy with certain aspects of my art, and I’ve been missing the opportunity to just study another artist’s work, do some sketches based on theirs, and notably, try to do a... mini series? Or set? Of my own work, based around their style and what I’ve learned. I have a pile of art books sitting around not being well utilised right now, so what I wanted to do was basically... pick one up, and spend a month or so, entirely focused on studying that artist’s work.
I was wondering if there would be any interest in me offering a handful of commission slots for this, where I take a handful of characters (furry, human, feral, anything, variety is the best) and they become part of the study. The price would probably be £20-£40 depending on how much time I expect to put in.
It could be particularly fun to have recurring characters that I revisit for each different study, so I might offer a discounted price for that p=
I’m not sure on pricing yet, this is more of a test the waters deal.
I’m also not sure how/where/if I’ll be sharing much of this, I’ll definitely be posting to my subscribestar as I go along, but I can see myself only posting some of the more refined later pieces here—might do a collection in .pdf format at the end though.
Artists I’m likely to look at based on me currently squinting at my bookshelf:
—Max Ulichney
—Alison Theus
—Juanjo Guarnido
—Syd Mead
—Aubrey Beardsley
—J. C. Leyndecker
—Simon Stålenhag
—Egon Shiele
—Nesskain
—Jame Avati
...
And a whole bunch of others.
Of course this is all based on me having a full time job still next year >A> and right now I’m not holding my breath, but we’ll see.

I love experiments and would gladly offer one of my characters up to assist in such studies. Another bonus is that most of my characters have very simple markings and colors. Even if I don't snag a slot I'm excited to see if&how these turn out.

I'm interested. :)

*caresses her own Beardsley and Theus books, as well as her Blacksad collection* I rarely get to spend money on commissions anymore ever since I went half freelance, but I think I would gladly consider, if you wouldn't mind having either weird spacepuppies or critters tossed at you. :)
