Commissions? Good Idea? Bad Idea?

Tue Mar 31, 2009, 11:01 AM
I was debating opening up for commissions/trades again, like I'd done over at my original *Keira-Blacktalon account. But that would involve paying for another subbie...all that same BS...checking my notes and e-mails more often, and, ugh... I dunno'. lol, It just feels like I don't have as much time as I used to. More friends = less time to play on the inturwebz and we're always doing something. xD

On the other hand, commissions could earn me some pocket cash and well advertised I think I'd be able to draw in at least a few customers. I never had any shortage of requesters but then again it's easy to mooch free art rather than shovel out actual moneez. xD

I guess I'm looking for input. What do you guys think? Think it's worth the trouble? Would the profit margin be comparable to the money I plan to put in? Probably a 6 month sub + a 2,000-5,000 click ad (or whatever the click limit is now).

You guys tell me. lol, Is my art worth it?

I think that is a neat idea. Unfortunatly i don't have money so i wouldn't be able to buy your art. That makes me sad xD

I think it's only fair to warn you, this facility is surrounded by a highly trained team of 130 black op snipers.
I don't believe you.
Would you believe two dozen Delta Force commandos?
No.
How about Chuck Norris with a BB gun

I believe it would be worth it if you wanted to, but if you didn't want to enough then it would be a waste

I think you should do commissions again, but not through deviant art. I have no forgiveness for them for what they allowed to happen to you. If there's a way for you to use paypal without deviant art, but using deviant art as the medium for it, then go for it.

That's true. Me paying them more money just perpetuates the cycle. lol, I suppose I could use another form of advertisement entirely and just use dA as a database to show my artwork as a portfolio.

I'd hate to get reamed again, and they don't deserve my money, dammit! xD
