750 Watchers + End of Commissions (maybe)!
General | Posted a year agoHello all!
The eagle-eyed amongst you may have noticed that the most recent projects I've been posting - six in all, or fifteen images since a lot were sequences - have been commissions. There was no official opening or anything - you didn't miss an announcement - but I've been taking on the odd one or two from people who have informally approached me as a bit of an experiment on my part to see whether or not commissions were something I want to do as an artist.
With the completion of this dino gal TF piece, the batch/queue is completely finished! The results? It's been pretty enjoyable, honestly more than I was expecting - I managed to complete all of them to a standard I'm happy with, and people's ideas in general have aligned more closely than I thought they would with the stuff I like to draw - which is great!
The main drawback is time. I'm a slow artist - it's taken a couple of months to go through the projects and in that time I've not been working on any personal ideas for art; some artists alternate, but perhaps because this is all new to me it feels kinda weird to put on hold someone paying real money so that I can doodle. idk. In any case, all those ideas are noted down and the next few months at least are going to be mine, slowly going through the ones I still think are worth doing.
After that (at some point) I'm likely going to take on a new batch of commissions - this time with a proper pricing sheet and TOS. I'll also likely tweak prices, since I had people messaging me saying they were way too low - partially by design since it was an experiment, partially just me not having a feel for a good price (don't worry, they won't be drastically higher).
So yeah, just consider this as a general update as to what's been going on with me behind the scenes - my last journal update was eight months ago at 250 watchers, and recently we just hit triple that so we're probably overdue for one. Hope this finds you well, and as always if you have feedback or ideas of your own then feel free to leave them below.

250 Watchers + YCHs in future?
General | Posted 2 years agoHey all!
Just noticed we hit 250 watchers today, which is a hell of a day to make that milestone as today also happens to be my birthday. Whether you're here for my art or stuff I commission, thank you all.
Wanted to piggyback on this journal to gauge interest in maybe doing YCHs at some point in the future - they'd be cheap (scenarios I'd be drawing anyway, similar kinds of things I have been drawing) and would be open to both anthro and human characters (the latter would be very helpful to practice).
It's really to test the water with the view to maybe doing proper commissions in future. Maybe I hate doing paid work but I won't know until I try it out, and low-stakes YCHs with scenarios I'm in control of is a comfortable way to do that.
In any case, you'd be doing me a favour by letting me know if that's something you'd be interested in (even if the answer is a no!) and what kinds of scenarios would appeal for a YCH. And, once again, thank you.
