Commissions 101

Journal Entry: Sun Nov 15, 2009, 2:05 PM
  • Mood: Rejected
As many of you might have noticed, I've had this:

Commissions
Carl Fuzz - Character designs for his book series.

up on my TODO list for some time. I've decided not to do it anymore. A few of my friends sat down and told me I was selling myself short with this project. Basically I am designing the characters, drawing character sheets, and coming up with color schemes for only 5 dollars a page. And they encouraged me to spend my time doing something more worthwhile.

Fuzz is a good guy, but lately he's been asking me about it to the point where I wonder if he really understands how much work he is asking me to do. I feel like I'm back in Collins with Marcus translating his short story into comic format, designing weapons, cars, uniforms, characters, cities, all without fully understanding what the plot actually is.

But at the same time this is my first commission ever. No matter how many times I've made myself available for commissions, no one has ever given me any work. That's why I started my Anime Request journal. I feel like the only way to get suggestions and feedback from people is by selling myself short and giving it away for free.

I see people with less talent than me getting commissions on this site every day.

What does a girl have to do to make some money?
