Mystery Comissions

I'm contemplating a new way of doing commisions. I call it Mystery commision, and basicly it means that you as a client only give me very few directions, and leave the rest up to me. You can only tell me the subject - like say you have a black pegasus character you want me to draw - you can tell me the details of the character and it's personality (and possibly the surroundings it usually lives in if its a specific world), but then what I do with it is up to me, which means it will be a surprise for you as a client what I come up with.
A Mystery Commision would be reduced in price in comparison to my regular commision - you'll recieve a 30% discount on my regular fees.
The only drawback I can think of is if you are not happy with what I come up with ( certain changes can surely be made, but not big ones like changing a pose etc as it means redooing a lot of the work on the piece) - that is why the price is reduced - if you want complete control of your commision, you can order at full price instead and thus get regular updates on what I am doing with yoru artwork, from sketch to ninished piece - that way you can come with constant feedback on what you like and don't like about the piece and we end up at a result you feel comfortable with.

Is this something that at all sounds interesting? Whould the discount be even more or is it fair?

I'd absolutely love to have one of these commissions done from you! ^-^ I think it's a really great idea and sounds like a lot of fun for everyone :)
Hopefully soon I will be coming into some cash (Oh so broke right now! haha) and if I do I'd love to do some talking with you about a Mystery Commission... I'd absolutely adore to see what you could come up with for my Nightmare

That sounds like a really good idea! Considering the fact that I have no scanner :( so I can't give people refs anyway

That is a great idea although I have to say I normally give the artist free reins if I can help it. Unless it is a really important picture.

I would love to commission you, and the concept is intriguing. I usually let artists have mostly free rein anyway. Perhaps if you are still offering these in a month or two, i will be able to afford one.

Are these for equine characters only, or do you also do other creatures?

i don't know, it seems an okay idea. but there always the risk of the client not liking the work and have to redo it, but for a reduced price it seems okay.

Hmm... IF I HAD MONEY TO SPEND I WOULD TOTALLY BUY ONE OF THESE.

I love your artwork, Los. :love: I would totally give you control over a commission.
