I think it's a good newsletter ^^

Cool! :3 I'll try to come up with better layouts and designs later on.

maybe you could try using an orange colors >.> Also how much are your slots?

my prices are in my profile if you wanna check them out. Still closed for Nude sketches and butts though until i catch up with the rest.

alrighty ^^

I like this idea. I think you should keep with it.

I think I will :3

N... no more buttshots? But what if I wanted to get my fug drawn, or if Vae wanted her wuff drawn? ... This is truly the end of Eden, you have destroyed everything Barrin. All our hopes, and dreams were riding on this.

Why not give panty-shots a try, or a special on gender-reversals?

i guess i should have announced also that before I end it that I will reopen one last time for 20 slots. ^^;

as for the new ideas, I like the sounds of those so far. :3

Why not keep the buttshot thing around as a permanent thing, just make it a little more expensive if you don't feel like doing it as much anymore. X3

Could also do a short-comic special, two or three panels max.

that could be a good idea. :P We will see. Seems like some people don't like the anatomy on the butts since it IS pretty incorrect. Still, I like the way it looks and so do most, if not all, commissioners who order them. As for the short comic special.... I like it. ;3

It's appealing to me; if people don't like how they look, they shouldn't but them. >_> I think mine turned out so good I can't make another ass pun ever again.

Comic is cool, yes! Maybe even a single panel option, with a second being a small chibi deal at the bottom. :3

perhaps I can attempt a two or three panel comic special for next month. May be a cool idea to work out. :3 As for the butts, it used to be permanent until it flopped over in the past. I'm shocked that it's actually doing so well right now. I may reconsider in keeping it, but we will see. Perhaps a new idea even better may replace it or something.

P.S. For the record I don't like auctions. Just a personal opinion and I figure I might as well get it out there.

I think you might need to rethink your auction because it is not significantly different from a normal commission, and it is something you want to draw rather than something the commissioner wants. I'm not entirely sure what to do exactly to make it more popular, but it needs something to make if different from a normal commission, maybe a higher starting bid and offer it as a full colour from the get go, though not an 80 dollar starting bid :p there is an element of risk/reward with auctions. With the content, I am not sure, though you will probably have more luck with a more customised or female/herm characters to commission with.

As to the special, totally herm on male special!

but the starting bid is $35 for the auction. Hmmm.... Perhaps this one wasn't too good of an idea, but maybe other auctions will be a bit better once I come up with the right ideas. I'll try a Barroness commission next time, or a sexy rave party with Alexia (with my wife's permission) and Barroness there, along with the winner's character. Something around those lines. :P

As for your idea on the special, I kinda have that already with Zeo and Barry. Just need the commissioner's character to be a herm. Then again, it is time to make another character or two. Perhaps one more herm and a fem boi to add on to the Barry, Barroness, and Zeo Specials.

I more meant if you are going to do a coloured auction don't make the opening bid 80 dollars.

Maybe a comic auction? You don't seem to take too many of those commissions.

funny thing is that for the next auction idea I was thinking of having a scene of one having a fight with Barrin. Perhaps that would be a cool one as a comic page.

Maybe you could also give references to your specials on your front page if you have any? I'm not sure what baroness or zeo look like, and I can only assume their gender without trawling through lots of butt pics. Same goes for the other specials aswell, so the buyer has an idea.

Going a little offtopic I know, but it would help.

This previous comment made me try to imagine Barry or Zeo as woman. We have a 'female' Barry in the Baroness. But Zeo is impossible to imagine as a woman.

yeah I have been meaning to make ref sheets of those two. ^^; Been backed up with a lot lately ^^;

doesn't have to be a ref sheet, anything with them in would suffice, along with other previous specials, for example I don't know what savageland is, or what it entails, so a link to a previous savage land commission would help immensely.

I guess I should. I'll go ahead and provide links to examples shortly with the commissions. :3

How about selecting someone else's character for a limited-time Barry/Barroness/Zeo special? A one-week only thing maybe?


But other themed specials would be good e.g. uniformed - who doesn't like a guy/girl in uniform? Police, medical, armed forces, plenty of potential there.

How about a muscle special? Beefed-up versions of characters like you did for me here - http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3837731/

Or one idea I saw done for icons was everyone wearing their native flag as a bikini/underwear:
 kialatiagra - http://www.furaffinity.net/view/2546842/
 zodiark - http://www.furaffinity.net/view/2388255/
Hell it could just be a solo thing with a flag draped over them instead.

Not too sure what you mean about someone else's character for a limited time B/B/Z special. ^^;

Uniformed special is an idea I like, but I wonder if it would take too long for the uniform details or not. then again, may be worth a shot nonetheless.

Muscle special may be another one, but.... I'm not too good with over muscled characters like that. Still, I guess i could always refer to some online photo references if I need to (btw, bodybuilder refs are scary lol).

The flag idea may be another one to try. :3

The BBZ - I meant like doing a special but picking someone else as the B/B/Z part like when you did those Zeo sketches by picking names and they got a free piece of them and Zeo.

Uniforms don't have to be that detailed. Police can be the classic black or blue shirt with just the two front pockets, medics can always be wearing scrubs or the white coat. Forces can just have camo pants and plain vest/t-shirt with a logo.

I think you did great with my night-time beach special on the muscle bit. And totally agree with the scary bodybuilder pics. I looked at one and did a double-take when I saw it was a female bodybuilder 0.0

Another one I thought of was doing a TF2 special. They've got clean-cut outfits and there's quite a few examples on here already.

I dunno if I should do free ones until I land a job first. I only have time for commissions these days due to needing to pay off bills and rent. Gonna try an employment agency tomorrow and hopefully they can help me out.

And yessssss! TF2 special sounds awesome! THAT would be a fun one to do!

I'd buy a TF2 pic off you. I;m sure a few more would too.

really is an enticing idea there.... i think i may just do that one then :3

Maybe for the sample you could have Alexia as a Soldier so the helmet covers her eyes

lol! thats an idea. :P
