🧡💛💚Small Announcement about Commissions during ...
4 years ago
Hi all! Just a small announcement about upcoming commissions during June, Pride month.
TL;DR I'm going to be pausing commissions for that month to give myself a break, work on some personal projects, and continue my mission of trying to gift art to trans and non-binary people who lack representation and lack art. Commissions will open again in July.
Breaking that down:
I want to give myself a small break, as normally what I've noticed with this little experiment of monthly comm's is it takes me about three weeks to clear my queue, then about a week or so of downtime before I reopen. Thru DM's and groupchats I've been noticing a growing interest in my comic comm's, which obviously take longer, so I feel like that window is going to narrow.
Following off of that, i have some personal art ideas that I want to work on, including some gift art, personal comics, and most importantly getting back into the habit of practicing art again, as I feel as if my quality has been rising and dipping from time to time, so i want to break out of my routine a bit and be able to deliver on better art in the future.
I've always felt like, within the fandom, one of the greatest hurdles to people upon feeling represented is having that first art piece which you can use to catalyze gaining more art. A lot of artists won't work without an image ref, which is totally fair, but I want to be able to provide those to whomever needs them, specifically, trans and nonbinary folks like myself who could benefit doubly from having art in their preferred combination of genitals and body shape represented in a way that can give some mental or emotional relief.
I've attempted similar things to people in the past in smaller or single sized batches, but for pride month I'm hoping to open things up to a wider audience. So... when it comes near time I'd normally open up a form for commissions, I'm going to instead post a form for people to submit and ask for free art, with a few rules.
1) Sadly, but obviously, depending on the popularity of this upon release I won't be able to get to everyone.
2) This is not a free-art-grab for anyone and everyone. I'm using an honor system, but my goal is to get art to 2.1) trans and nonbinary people 2.2) who currently cannot afford art and do not already own any art for themselves. If you're coming at me with an art reference image already, and are looking for more, then this isn't the place for it.
3) I cannot promise quality, and I cannot promise any specific poses, major edits, or overly or specific heavily detailed characters, but instead this is intended to be a foot in the door for people to get themselves more art when all they've had thus far is a text description.
Form will open around the 11th, more details then. If you're a fellow artist and interested in helping out, let me know and I might be able to delegate some work. This is not work for profit, but I personally find the charity a reward in itself.
Last bit, commissions will open back up again in July. I'm currently adjusting my prices for then, and the prices will speak for themselves once open.
Thank you all!
