Interested in donating digital art sketches / simple art to a fanbook project?
Hi! So I added more tags to the draft of my main story #unexpectedxdevelopments
and while doing so I decided to include that if any hisogon / illukillu artists wants to donate art in their free time, they can contact me. In the past, I’ve had requests from artists who liked my writing enough that they asked to donate art because they wanted to see their art within my work so I’ve decided to open applications for this venture, for anyone who feels similarly.
I realize that in addition to showcasing talent and promoting other artists, being more inclusive will help ease the burden on me and speed up the release of UxD because it IS 14 books that I am writing and I only have so much time (and money) to do it myself.
As some of you may know, #unexpectedxdevelopments is a graphic novel. It is in the Mystery / Drama novel genre and is 18+.
It has cover art for each book plus art inside the books as well so I've been writing and drawing for it myself for the past 8 years plus commissioning art from small artists with the goal of supporting the fandom.
My patrons have been a big help in this, plus the artists who've done work for me are all lovely, wonderfully talented people and I plan to keep commissioning them but my pockets are not very deep to continue doing this consistently.
With how I take time to save up for commissions or wait for the time when my irl responsibilities allow me to write / draw etc., it slows things down and also limits what I can include in the story.
And my stubbornness refuses to allow me to reduce the quality of the books I want to produce by excluding stuff in the interest of speeding things up.
Thus, if there are any artists out there who are passionate about my writing or the ships I write for and want to help the fandom by donating art I will accept after we discuss and are on the same page.
It doesn't have to be full paintings. Can be quick but well-executed 10-minute unpainted sketches of characters in motion (to match the related text in the chapter). If you want to do sketchy art, I'll take it. If you want to do paintings, I’ll take it.
And those who donate consistently, will of course have:
• free access to spoilers (similar to my patrons on Patreon, a $6USD per month value)
• A decent working relationship / partnership: I won’t make heavy demands or take advantage of you. All I ask is that you contact me whenever you’re available and inform me of what you want to do (sketch / painting), which characters you want to draw, and how many characters you want to draw in that session. I will then get back to you with an excerpt you can draw for.
• In time I will occasionally tip my loyal art donors whenever I get the finances or I will commission full art from them as gratitude for their time and assistance with my passion project.
Additionally, if anyone is unable to donate art but wants to donate towards the commissions, they can do so through a custom pledge on Patreon.
