I opened commissions for character model/pose sheets in November, mostly intended for dungeons and dragons players who might wanna see their OCs doing cool stuff. I do so much life drawing that working out poses without reference isn’t a massive difficulty, and I love knowing about other people’s characters.

I will usually ask commissioners to fill out a detailed questionnaire about their character (and many people give me SO MUCH information because they’re excited – it’s very cute). I then get an idea of what poses to do, and make sure I get in as many little, personalised details as I can manage.

It’s worked out really well! I’m on my 15th DND character sheet commission right now, and still reeling from the knowledge that some people actually might want to pay for my art. I’m so grateful that everyone’s been kind.

I hope I can continue doing this! I feel like it’s helpful practice for animation. And it’s paying for my living expenses, at least.
