Commissions

   During my free time, I had opened up for a few simple art commissions on my Tumblr in hopes of earning a little bit more money for myself. Seeing as this would be the final year and that it would be inevitable for us to spend more money than we usually did in the previous two years (Heck, we will even be given a budget for our end of year show), it just seemed right attempting to earn a little money for myself aside from saving what I had. Getting commissioned to draw something for others have always been difficult to obtain for me, unless you were incredibly well known and have a style that would highly appeal to others, it would take ages before your promotions would even catch the interest of anyone.

   Through my other hobby blogs however, a few new friends I had made in the past year had kindly commissioned from me a few simple pieces. The process was somewhat informal (With no invoice or contract put together), but I had still made sure that a sketch would have been done first before they were paid, and allowed them to pay in installments, especially for one friend who had wanted to order more than one piece from me. Due to how crazy my schedule got as the deadline for Context in Practice 3 drew nearer, it is only now that I will be able to continue the second batch of commissions I will be doing.

   Seeing how much effort I needed to put myself out there for just a handful of commissions however, I will be also be working on some more new designs for my Redbubble and Society 6. I have noticed how incredibly well my Batgirl and Spidergwen (Which I had done for Responsive) tee design is selling on Redbubble, and so I just might try to focus more of my free time simply working on designs that hopefully the public would be interested in purchasing. It really is just figuring out what it is exactly that they like (Designing for a particularly unknown series like Lollipop Chainsaw (AS MUCH as I had loved that game) had been a complete waste of my time a few years back, as sad as it is to say), else well as what sort of design... I already have a number of ideas for Samurai Warriors, Sengoku Basara, Grand Theft Auto V and Mortal Kombat to work on! Hopefully I can actually get a few of them out over the next few months!
