AmA Jan / and a question I've got ;o
5 years ago
Been a bit since I did one of these, so, figured I'd open up an Ask Me Anything! So toss in some questions any of yall' might have :3
Question! What are your thoughts on something like an "Idea Jar"? A lot of times when I open up for commissions, a lot of people mention they want to commission me, but have no idea what they want to get! (Which, isn't a problem, part of why I have Artist's Freedom as a choice!) However, I am just one person, and ideas come and go, I was thinking of offering another option?
I was thinking like a pool that people (Patreon's?) can submit ideas to. And every time I open up for new commissions, I'll have a new list of ideas that I come up with/want to draw, and idea's that other people have submitted? So when people commission me, they can be ordered something like...:
"X Character Reference, Idea #7 or idea #15, and with these changes" (Idea 7/15 being the described/ suggested content.)
Additionally, this way I'd be able to also offer rough price estimates for the suggested content strait up, so people don't have to wait for me to get back to them with what there commission idea prices are. (People who commission me will still be able to submit there own ideas, of course.)
Thoughts?

Maybe even offer commissions where you just roll a die against the list. The "I am just hot for all the kinks SD likes to draw, surprise me for $x worth" method. Possibly at a discount compared to "you pick a kink", possibly not.. You could maybe even integrate pricing into this: it'll cost you $X for a d6, $Y for a d10, and $Z for a d20.
(ps: am baked, sorry if that was too much brainstorming <3 )
