So many art needs. I never used to feel so hopeless at getting art. And i've been telling myself that I can't draw for so long that it's probably locked in and self-fulfilling by now. Which sucks.
I really wish this data port at the back of my skull could be used for something more than lewdness.
@kelseyhusky Consider though, drawing as a way of communicating; not trying to make the ideal art on your own, but you are setting up guidelines for more experienced artists to work off of? I’m pretty sure you already draw well enough to get the idea across. There’s plenty of space for drawing as an exercise without needing it to be technically fantastic.
@Leucrotta Here’s my problem: I need to find artists who are:
1: Willing to draw the desired content
2: Open and available to be commissioned
3: Within my current available budget
4: Patient enough to accept working from text descriptions, old, outdated, and/or stolen reference material
5: Patient enough to revise over and over until a piece is close enough to what I wanted
6: Reliable enough to deliver without flaking.
7: Okay with providing updates regularly enough so I don’t feel cheated.
@Leucrotta it’s a very exacting list of requirements, but it’s one I’ve developed over the years from feeling disappointed. But I’d rather not stress an artist out since everything I absorb from artists is how hard of a time they have with difficult commissioners. I don’t want to be such a problem that I get rejected or blacklisted.
Thanks for thinking I can draw well enough to communicate, though. I wish you were right.
