the_gneech | Commissions, Colorations, and Too Much To Do (Reply)

AnthroCon is likely to be pure or at least mostly profit for me, because the travel is cheap and I've got roomies to split the hotel cost. Dragon*Con, on the other hand, is going to be a big, fat tick just suckin' on my wallet -- owie! So I was thinking of auctioning some commissions to defray those costs. I doubt I'd get FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS! (*thud*) apiece, but I suspect I might be able to net at least $50 - $100 for each, and if I could do a couple of them, that might cover the hotel or the air ticket.

There is the problem of color. I can do colored pencil, but I generally prefer (and get better results from) digital color. So one of the things I was thinking of doing was giving the purchaser the option of getting a hand-colored original, or a large color print of digitial color plus the b/w original artwork.

There is also the issue, that there is a bunch of stuff that I already owe people. I do need to get that stuff out of the way; I would prefer to do it before I took on new projects, but at the same time, I would also like to get an infusion of cash before I have to pay for the con.

I suspect it's time to whip up another "Too Much To Do" list ... except that I'm at work and I've spent too much time on this entry as it is!

Darn you, irony, darn you all to heck.

I WANNA WORK ON MY ARTWORK!
