Prints

Journal Entry: Thu May 28, 2009, 10:22 AM







:heart: :heart: :iconlunadarkgoddess::iconvader-san: :heart: :heart:

So i have tried selling prints for a year and a half and i have sold not a single print since then. Nothing. I honestly take it with humor, because i don't really want any prestige or anything, but i could seriously use the money now, because plane tickets aren't cheap and i am in a general lack of finances.

Come on people be nice and buy just a little thing. I would be satisfied even if it is just a simple pack of coasters or a mousepad, but please anybody make use of that print function. I am slowly getting quite sad about having a store up here on DA and nobody ever buys anything xD.

I'd love you forever <3

Personaly, I have no money for Art, but I've got an advice for you - I know many artists that are earning good amounts of money by taking commisions. I know that it ''eats'' much time, but it's also more effective - There are lots of people who like your style and would gladly see some of their own characters drawn by You. (the prices can be set according by the time needed to make them. F.E. the cheapest - quick sketch, the most expensive - more than one character, background, colour, details). I'm sure that commisions would have much more popularity than Prints ;)

PS: I haven't enough time to read all of your journals, so I don't know about any possible reasons why You do not lead the long time commisions, so sorry for my (possible) ignorance. ;)

I've done commissions before, but you're right saying that it takes a lot of time, because it does. That's the point for me, cause i simply don't have enough time at the moment to do much art, do to college. I want to open commissions again sometime soon, but it will be on FA, cause there are more people willing to buy art over there.

Also any sold print would be a wonderful addition to my finances. Every coin would be appreciated, cause i've had enough expences already.

I love you ;O;
No really i do. You are the first person to ever buy a print, even if it's a small one and i am thankful for that <3.
I can't see what you bought yet, but even the smallest print helps.

I bought a small magnet. I pay using PayPal, so the transaction will take a little time. I'm trying not to spend too much money 'cause I wanna save up for a moped, or something like it. Still, I'll probably look through the list again and maybe buy something else when the next pay-check comes in.
