Commission question!
🕑 Added 2024-04-28 15:11:28 +0000 UTCHey all! First, thank you so much for supporting me and my art! It's been a tremendous help already in just these few months, both mentally and financially to have this space, so I could not be more grateful! ♥
Second, I actually had a question/idea I wanted to pose to my commissioners!
I thought it might be a fun way to keep my burnout to a lower degree but also give people the chance of a potentially cheaper commission option if someone would be interested in this. Since I have a limited time to focus on art daily, and that time is (mostly unevenly) split between commission work and personal arts, so I figured this might be a fun way for me to indulge in certain themes I enjoy drawing and also not feel horribly guilty that I'm spending precious art-time on personal stuff instead of work (when most of the time honestly I end up scrapping doodles from simply not knowing what character i want to draw and then end up sitting there having wasted hours staring at a blank canvas gflgjfkld)
What I was thinking, is that every time I open the form, I'd have a small list of "preferred topics" for that round of commissions - themes or topics I'd like to draw myself, as opposed to the person commissioning me giving me the topic of their commission! Does that make sense? lol
For example > I would have "lingerie" listed as a preferred topic, and someone decides they would like a commission with that theme, so they pick it and get a discount for the price! Finer details about the commission would still be 100% up to the client, pose, etc, but the overall theme of the comm would be what they picked!
These "bounties" could be really anything, from a given video game (like, looking for drawing ff14 characters or something) to some kinks like pet play or cross dressing or anything!
I'd include the list of maybe 3-4 topics on the commission form itself, (and when I make the post about the opening) as well as how much of a price discount these comms would get!
Would this be something people would be interested in trying out? :) Let me know what you guys think!

I love this idea! It kind of reminds me of a YCH only more customized since it's not restricted to a specific pose. I think it's a lot of fun!

Love the idea and something I might potentially do! A sort of prompt/topic commission choice that people can purchase :)

As a fellow artist I encourage this! It’s good for you personally AND a fun nudge for the whole artist/commissioners community! I don’t often struggle with my own concepts when I commission others— I usually only fill out a form when I have a very specific desire— but I know for a fact non-artist commissioners can be so overwhelmed by deciding and describing prompts! So bc of that I think YCH’s and picking prompts really helps clients as much as artists :) They don’t necessarily need to be a discounted price, even, but you do what you feel most comfortable with! Oh I also really like it too when some artists offer Kinktober prompts for clients! Seems like a super helpful way for an artist to try to get thru Kinktober at all 😂 Gotta get those muses pulling their weight 💪🏼

A lot of artists Take preferred subject matter commissions so i think this is a wonderful idea

Do it

Love the idea! Always prefer to give artist more freedom when it comes to commissions since I often lack ideas myself, so if I even had the option to choose a topic the artist would like to do I’d definitely choose it 💕

I think that's a great idea!

I think this is a great idea for both parts included!! It‘s always worth a try when it helps you work on commissions, tbh!! ☺️ And I am pretty sure there is always someone interested in special comms!!
