this is true even outside of vgen! i used to open new YCHs frequently and i'd have lots of clients. people generally like supporting artists, they just don't know what to get
If you’re wondering why you’re not getting VGen clients - here’s something I’ve learned after doing 70+ comms this year.
Most people don’t really want to order a custom illustration where they have to come up with the whole concept, write a clear, detailed description, and gather a bunch of refs for every little thing. If that’s the only thing you’re offering - you might be missing a big part of the audience.
They love stuff with a clear result (like YCHs or eye/head banners) and minimal effort to order (skeb, "surprise me"): just drop a character ref, pay, and wait.
It’s often not even about the price or that your skill "isn't good enough for comms".
hthis is maya the werewolf mouse, my oc! they use any pronouns :) i made him so people could have their ocs do stuff together :D
(and by stuff, haha, well, let's justr say, see a nice movie and hang out at the park. of course.)
@thA_firelord the green lines arent in perspective, its just copied and pasted next to kris as a crude way to show susie *is* taller cuz if op is way off on perspective theyd probably better understand a 1 dimensional scale. the lines arent parallel, vanishing point is just very far off screen
unfortunately i fell for the ragebait... please learn perspective before you complain about art cause it's embarrassing 😨 my sketch isn't perfect but surely it gets the idea across...
@thA_firelord i mean... that's not inconsistent with the sketch i made... i also mentioned my sketch wasn't perfect lol i just wanted to point out susie was taller than kris, not kris's exact height relative to susie...
