Hair Brained Schemes...NEED HELP!

Fri Apr 24, 2009, 6:17 AM
I have many many many of them ><

Times are tough, so my gypsy blood kicks in and I start coming up with schemes for money, and I'm so desperate right now that I want to try ALL OF THEM...and often NONE of them get done for this reason ;_;.

So that's where you come in<3

I need your help telling me which of my schemes you like and how much (or little) you'd wanna pay for them.

THEN i can decide which ones to invest time in first! >< (after I fin my gift arts after I finish my one pro-bono due this week T^T aiming for three weeks! only 3! >< * says it like a mantra.)

so here be the list:

0: Good 'ol DA Commissions.
1: ABJD jewelery on ebay.
2: ABJD Portrait Commissions.
3: New Devils Cake Art Prints on DA.<3
4: Devil's Cake website with a shop w/ keychainsbuttonsstickersbookst-shirtsbags,etc.
5: New art for DA prints. period.
6: Angel Fine Arts for DA print<3
7: A Suggestion from YOU<3
D: "Dammit angi, just drop it already!"

Please vote on your faves and the majority vote I'll work on first! >< and yeah, tell me the prices you'd want, so I can make them affordable enough T^T

Like I said, Times are tough... help me pay my parents rent ;_; (though they like the cooking and cleaning part, I still very much want to pay for my expenses to them T^T)

IN OTHER NEWS:
Applying for jobs everyday and working with 3 (Count 'em, THREE) Fledgling Developers for experience and learning<333 having fun and learning tons<3

but yeah, still un-employed T^T

thank you for your help, time, and patience (and LOVE)

I vote for good ol' Commissions. :nod: And price, I'd say around $20-$50 depending on complexity and level of art (sketch, ink, color, etc.) Nothing over $50.

Not so much what I'd want personally, but I can offer some advice on what I'd say would get you more money faster:

Avoid the prints. Either you end up spending a bunch to get them made at home, and you end up just making the cost back in profits. Or you put them up through a third party, here, Zazzle, etc and you make $5 bucks in profit. Totally not worth the time and effort for the return, print sales are sort of dead outside of conventions.

What would be good is setting up a site to sell some of your ABJD goods, either if it ends up on Ebay or just direct buys with paypal checkout.

And for commissions the average DA user will only spend $20 on a commission. Or so I tend to notice, which is why I don't advertise here much anymore.

I like the commissions for the ABJDs... That just sounds like it would be cool to see. I don't know how much people would pay, but that's cause I don't have one. :B
I also like the new prints on DA. You can do character commissions again, those seemed to do very well. And I like seeing them. ;3 I'd pay like $25 for something, if not more. Like NCWeber up there said, nothing over $50, but base it on the complexity.

Oh! Another idea are those Crayola commissions that you suggested at NDK. xD Like with the crayons and the colored pencils and stuff. xD That sounds like it would be fun.

Commissions of characters of stuff for the Devil's Cake shop.

As for commissions, it all depends on the complexity/sketch/will i receive the piece or is it digital etc. Somewhere on the 10-30 range, depending on what it is, is what I spend.

1) More Art for Prints
2) Commissions

as for the prices.... I normally expect to pay around $15 per print. Commissions are trickier, but I'd say a good price is around $30-50.

and speaking of.....I'll go ahead and commission you. :) I'll send a note with details if you agree.

(and i'm sorry I haven't commented much lately at all. I've been remiss in DA lately)

"That's not Fair!"
"Really? You say that so often. I wonder what your basis for comparison is?" :sushi: :fuzzydemon:

And in related news ... DUDE!!! I just looked through to my wishlist cause I'm going to buy some prints and I went to add "Purgatory's Couch" to the list and Holy Crap! $6 for an 11X14 print! That's too cheap. It's worth more than that. Don't sell yourself short. I understand wanting to keep low prices to encourage people to buy them, and I hope it's working, but .... whew.... Just took me by surprise.

Hugs on your Knees and nibbles them. he he. :D

:iconangichan:
yeah, the prices were INSANE before ><!!
:iconangichan:
that's koo, I'm thinking graphite portraits, (since that's all i can do with the time i have to spare T^T)
probably $20.00 ea...colored with crayon and/or colored pencils...can send you the original if you don't mind the 3in x 4in size ;^^
But I can't start the commiss officially till I finish my two gift arts that are both in coloring stages right now ><. so they will be coming first. (wb btw ;^^ GLOMPS)
