Or whenever during your daily cycle you happen to stumble upon this at your location. Wow, it's really been nearly a year since I last wrote anything... whoops~ I mean, I usually don't have much to say, so making a journal doesn't have much purpose. I babble enough as it is outside them, anyway.
But I DO have something to say this time! And that is, while I'm slowly working my way through my backlog of pictures, I've been thinking about opening suggestions once I'm finally caught up to the now. It's still a bit aways before that, but I wanna dip my toe into the idea. I've always liked making things for others, as well as myself. Most pieces I've made have been for myself, so where's the harm in making things for others for a spell~?
Now, what do I mean by "suggestions"?
A commission, from my understanding, is an order; you pay someone to make things from your guidelines and whatnot. To be frank, seeing how everything I use isn't made by me (models, scenery and whatnot), I wouldn't be comfy with getting paid to make these pieces. Perhaps drawings, but not the 3D Gmod stuff.
Requests would be kinda similar, except I'm not getting paid. Someone would send me an idea and I make it, still after their guidelines. Now, if this was the model, I'd be more comfy, but it'd still be a bit rigid; I would still do it more or less exactly as someone wanted, meaning if someone said an idea with X and Y character, but I think it'd be nicer with X and Z character in the same situation, it'd feel like I stole someone's idea. Not comfy with that.
That's why I landed on "suggestions". You can suggest a situation and characters for it, but as told, it's just a suggestion, meaning I can have more artistic freedom with it. Of course, if someone makes a suggestion that I like and make no alterations to, it's basically a request, but then it can be noted in the credits like "based on suggestion by X" or "requested by Y". It still credits the one who had the idea initially, while retaining the artistic freedom.
I dunno. Maybe it's just me getting drowned in semantics and whatnot. I'm still sitting on the idea and trying to come up with the best approach for it. Maybe I'll land on calling them requests anyway. Who knows? Either way, my backlog is still in 2022, so I still have some time to work on it before I'm caught up.
What ya think? I'm always very indecisive about... everything, so opinions are always appreciated~
Helps my decision-making quite a bunch!
For now though, I hope you're looking forwards to the upcoming posts! Can't remember which the next one is from the top of my bed, so you'll be just as surprised as I'll be with whatever it's gonna be~
Stay safe and hydrated! Hot as hecc, recently...
