You get a Freebie! You get a Freebie! Everyone gets a Freebie!
It has sort of come to my attention that I'm a rather ungenerous, Scrooge-esque individual who's primarily interested in earning cash off of his art. That is entirely true. I'm not here to make a lame excuse for that - I love money, and I don't enjoy doing work knowing I may not get paid, much less appreciated. If you're good at something, don't do it for free.
However, in light of recent events, I'd like to make two major announcements to the community.
First of all, I'll be leaving in September. I'm currently involved in mooting for my local university before my first official year as a law undergraduate, and I foresee a veritable torrent of activity after September when my term begins. By extension, I'll be gone for a very extended period of time, possibly forever if my schedule doesn't let up - which is entirely possible and probable, given what the older students are going through. In other words, there is a good chance I will not return.
Second, and this is a direct extension to the first, I will be releasing my own set of resources every month, on top of ReStaff contributions and miscellaneous bits I'm doing for Tsarmina's game Sugar Sweet.
- All resource releases will be completely free to use. No catches, no fine print. Use as you see fit.
- Be sure to credit me for the work. Obviously.
- Also, it's Spectre/Spectre Studios, not Sceptre. I'm looking at you, random dude with 5 posts.
- I will only be releasing Portraits, Busts, or Static Battlers due to time constraints.
The catch is, since I've barely enough time to do up freebies, this is the only time you can request specific resources from me. All resource packs will be released at the end of every month in the Resources Forum, under Spectre's Freebies (month & year).
How this works is fairly simple. Comment the types of resources you'd like to see from me, or their genres - sci fi, animals, robots, big armored guys with swords, big-chested ladies and skimpy attire etc. and I'll pick the most picked theme (within reason, and please make sure it's family friendly) and make freebies out of it.
If the poll/comments are largely ignored, I'll select a theme on my own accord, but mind you I'll be fairly upset about it and release significantly less resources for that month. On top of that, please note the following:
- Obviously, no sexually explicit, offensive, or gory imagery. You will be reported.
- Please do not suggest a specific description of your original character. I'm trying to work around generic themes for everybody to use.
- Please do not ask me to draw My Little Pony. You will have your cookies and friends taken away from you.
- I will not entertain re-sketches of existing resources, recoloring or drawing over another's resources. If you want a tutorial or comments on your artwork, please PM me in private.
So, exalt me, mortals, and comment with the top resources you'd like to see for this month.
A few of you may be wondering about art quality - no, it's definitely not going to be similar to the doodle I did above.
For those who have yet to see my works, or are unfamiliar with me, here is a link to my art thread.
Expect to see quality similar to, if not identical, to the pieces displayed below:
Now, it's open to you guys: ask away. I'll be publishing the first release for resources on 15th May, 2015, so vote away or suggest your favorite theme(s), and I'll churn out something that'll make unicorns go into depression for paling in comparison to what'll emerge from the dark bowels of my pen tablet.
