The Second Commissions Poll

[sigune]

sugarplumkitten asked me about commissions today, and I thought I'd post another poll to find out a bit more about the expectations of those people who are considering ordering a picture with me.

My previous poll brought to light that 9 readers of my journal are definitely interested in commissioning a picture; on top of that, 8 more are interested if the prices are reasonable :D.

Now, as you well know, my artwork (doesn't that sound ponderous and self-important?) is not digital; it's invariably done the old-fashioned way with pens, pencils, paint, markers and whatever on paper or cardboard. That means that when a drawing changes hands, it is forever gone from me. I am not sure how understandable this is in view of the relatively limited artistic value of my scribbles (they're not Picassos, right?), but to me, definitively handing over something that I have created with love and patience is not an easy thing. I can do it, when I know from the start that I am working for someone else; but it is obvious to me that an original is going to be sold at a higher price than a print or scan of which the original stays with me.

In view of the concerns about price, then, I would like to hear from you what kind of an image you would expect; if different options get checked, I will consider them and make different prices.

Secondly, I would also like to hear what attitude you take towards commissioned art at all - what kind of freedom or limits you would set to the person who does a drawing for you.

Please help me out and take the poll! Advice, concerns, comments are very welcome :).

Re: My Music Video Project

(Not to worry about checking my reply; it's coming to you all by itself!)

Wow, that does sound like an exciting project :D! I wouldn't say no, but I have to warn you that I have absolutely no experience with animation and I am not a professional artist. Also, I can't take on any projects whatsoever before the new year at the earliest, due to what is my profession - I have a very important deadline to catch :/.

If the above doesn't put you off and you want to mail me about your plans, you can find me at severelysigune [at] yahoo [dot] co [dot] uk :).

Good luck in any case!
