EDIT: Added some important emphasis for clarification. Feel free to ask questions!

Read this stuff and then go here for an short 3 question anonymous survey. The first question is just whether or not you're interested. The second two questions are optional. Survey-> s.surveyplanet.com/H1dSvUoXz

(((Do not send me any prompts. This isn't official yet)))

(((THIS IS PURELY GOING TO BE RUN THROUGH MY KO-FI ACCOUNT. I'M JUST GATHERING FEEDBACK RIGHT NOW)))


I want to try and do some sketchy limited release creature adopts through my Ko-Fi donation/tip-jar.


 How this works is for $10 USD you get to pitch me a critter prompt/animal mashup/whatever.


 After a week I'll post the ideas up for public anonymous vote through that survey page I've been using. The only ones I won't accept are if its too similar to something I'm already working on and can't figure out an alternate way to go about it. (This is super unlikely because I can do a thousand things off the same prompt usually, so this is just in case that happens; those people will get messaged for an alternate prompt). 

Voting will stay open for a week. Top pick will get a free semi-custom for the person who prompted it.


 And I'll make a batch of between 6 and 12 priced at somewhere between $30 and $60 depending on how complex the design ends up being.

These will be loose colored sketches. Emphasis on loose. They won't be clean, they won't have a hell of a lot of fine details, and I'll be making a base to work off of so they'll generally share the same pose and proportions to an extent. But this means low stress for me and more of my work available to you guys. (I actually did a test batch to challenge myself and I think it'll work as a pretty viable way for me to rake in some more steady income that'll let me devote larger amounts of time to creature eggs and the like).

If two or more prompts get within a few votes of each other as top pick I may decide to split the batch and develop a critter for each.

These will be pretty much do what you want as long as they aren't sold for more than bought for or turned into merch. I'll likely elaborate on the critter too with a chance of future batches, worldbuilding, and a potential for a group environment if significant interest happens. BUT DON'T WORRY. I'm not integrating these into any existing headworlds. I'm not going to be worrying about anyone changing their design up. Neither will I create any sort of worldbuilding rules that'll veto an already existing adopt IF this actually goes further than just a one-off batch of critters.

 I'll own the IP to whatever creature comes of this but if you want to use the prompts for yourself that's your business. I don't own those. :) I don't care if you do your own variation of the winning prompt either as long as it's clearly it's own thing. That said, please don't pitch anything you feel precious about. There are thousands of ways to interpret a prompt no matter how detailed and the prompts will be publically seen and voted on by anyone who comes across my DA page. Chances are someone may feel inspired by one of those prompts!

 If anyone does make something out of any of the prompts pitched please don't show me (or hold off on posting it right away if we're mutuals?). It puts me in a weird spot designing from a prompt someone else jumped ahead on, especially if the prompt wasn't directed at them. Similar to how show writers avoid reading any fanfiction. I don't want to step on anyone's toes but its on you if you intentionally put me in this situation. I'm also not going to go running off with pitches for my own use. If you've seen any of my work you know I have zero issue coming up with stuff. Any future similarities are coincidental though I have no control over what anyone else might do with these prompts.

 I'm only looking for prompts because I want to draw some cool critters for you guys where I'm not wasting 3-12 hours on a critter no one ends up buying. (I'm not mad but I'm financially really strapped and trying to make ends meet until my larger projects are off the ground. I'm trying to get a patreon ready to launch too but thats still at least two months away.)
