Oniric Writes

It has already been in ancient times before us.

The lovely @dreriart reminded me that i haven’t done a giveaway in quite some time and while i haven’t hit any milestones for awhile, It IS my birthday on the 18th so why not give out a present instead :D

Moira: Angela! Good news! I’ve reverse-engineered your biotic technology so it can suck the life out of people now!

Mercy: *horrified* How is that good news!?

Moira:

>>> Pinxie is now accepting commissions! <<<

I’ve mulled over these adjustments for a very long time. I’ve got new offerings, new prices, clearer guides and, hopefully, some very interesting options! 

The one I want to call the most attention to is my new clothing design option. It’s in its infancy as a commission offering, so only a few models are available as examples. However, any WoW race is offered, and any body type can be created on demand. 

I’m doing all of my orders by form this time; please use the form found on my official website to get in touch with me. 

I’m going to be using a form system, like many other artists have done. Interested buyers will fill out the form, submit it along with links to their ref material, and I will message whoever I decide to take on. 

I’m wanting to keep submissions active for about 60 days so that I can finish a few, then pick from the list, then finish a few more, then pick from the list…until that 60 days is up. After that, I’ll clear everything and start over. 

That will save some awkwardness when emailing previously-interested clients, only to find that they found someone else to do the work, or no longer have the funds available. It’s incredibly embarrassing for me, as I feel that I am intruding on their time and comfort levels, but I’m actually just trying to hold spots for people because I know I’m hard to catch! (Sorry!! ;-; )

Please stay tuned for that announcement. It may come in the middle of the night, but don’t worry – I’ll leave the submission form open for at least 24hours so that no one has to worry about first-come, first-serve. 

Take heart – many people have successful WoW comics, Patreons, artwork businesses, RP blogs that get asks because their characters are loved, and many people who start a creation rooted in fandom are able to change it over time to be something that can stand on its own!

Besides that, we get emotional rewards from completing things that we love and want to make. Never believe it is a waste of time just because you can’t directly sell it. There may be ways you can see some financial return (and there are cases where it is NEEDED, like how I sell my art skills).

Besides that, I know that many of us LOVE the chance to expand on WoW lore. We can balance creativity with plausability, and there will always be other people willing to accept our headcanons. That’s part of the fun of BEING in a fandom!

An important point here is the anxiety over your own private creations. It is well understood that a fan work is first found because it’s conection to the original work. But having a follower base also means their interest shifted into the creativity behind it and not simply the fandom it represents.

This grants you a platform for your original work. Self promotion is the kickstarter of a successful enterprise, and you have a captive audience to promote yourself to. Continue creating fan work and balance it with your original works. People hooked by your talent will take an interest in it.
