Commissions Opening May 28
Posted 3 months agoHeads up that I'll be opening my commissions form on Wednesday (May 28)!
Does anyone have experience with (free) mailing list services? I wanted to set up a little non-social-media backup for commission announcements. I only need to send 2 emails every 3-4 months, and I don't expect a ton of signups.
I suppose I could also just set up a gdoc and a separate e-mail account and manually do it, but I worry that might just get that address immediately flagged as spam :'D Using a dedicated service feels less likely for that to happen ahahah
Infos in advance: https://howlitecomms.carrd.co/
It won't be first-come, it's artist's choice. I keep the form open for a whole day :3

Oh yeah I've got a Patreon
Posted 4 years agoI should probably like... advertise that it exists 😅 Been posting WIP shots and some personal art that hasn't been made public yet.
https://www.patreon.com/howliteart
Whether or not someone is a Patron won't affect commission slot selections. I couldn't figure out a way to have commission-related rewards while keeping to my "artist choice" method of slot-filling without it feeling unfair if I didn't choose a Patron's submission, so there aren't any. It's just an extra thing with behind-the-scenes looks, if anyone's interested in that stuff \o/
Right now you get a peek at what's coming up in the batch I just started :3c

Opinions pls
Posted 5 years agoEDIT: Thank you so much for your feedback, everyone, I really appreciate it! I won't be making changes for my immediate next opening, but I will probably switch to this method soon after that :)
Artists who do the "form open for a while, choose what I want to draw" method for commissions... how do you go about the guilt (or lack there of) of saying no to people? Even if that no is just not sending an e-mail.
Commissioners, what if the artist just never accepts your comm?
I personally much prefer something juried over first-come-first-served (ie convention table apps), so my reasons for doing small-batch FCFS are entirely selfish... but if commissioners also prefer not having to rush with the chance of not getting in, I may consider switching.
I'm bad at saying no a lot of the time (a thing I'm trying to improve on this year), though I thankfully haven't yet come across a commission I really don't want to do! :) But I also don't want to have a long queue sitting over my head, which feels like option C, a longer-open form.
Anyway pls feel free to chime in with opinions from both sides of the art-buying transaction, I genuinely want to know what people think! I won't be making any changes quite yet to how I open - the next batch will be done like always.
