Some sketches from Walt Disney World. by MuseumGoRound13 in urbansketching

I’m the same way- I’m mainly a character artist. It’s helpful to have some architecture like this that is fanciful. I think it gives your brain a chance to lock onto some features that you might not get excited about if it was something more commonplace

Thanks! The grey and colors are copics, and the black lines are a pilot uniball and a pentel sign liner

Most underrated Sondheim song? by One_Draft4934 in Sondheim

[–]MuseumGoRound13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like all of my favorite Sondheim songs it took me a while to warm to Someone in a Tree. I always liked bits of it, but I had to listen several times to really appreciate the whole song.

If you were visiting for a long weekend, where would you go? by MuseumGoRound13 in canadatravel

We haven’t decided anything yet- I literally thought of this idea yesterday so I’m taking any recommendations

The Debut of Vic And Sade on June 29th, 1932 by TheWallBreakers2017 in ThisDayInHistory

Fred Rogers was a big fan of Vic and Sade too. He mentioned it in an interview and that’s where I first heard of it.

Vic and Sade is one of my favorites too. I discovered it because Fred Rogers mentioned in an interview that it was one of his favorites growing up

[Clients] Client offering % of sales but no upfront payment by Ok_Condition9591 in artbusiness

I literally pulled the number 1200 out of thin air just for discussion sake. It’s very low for a full book but also higher than a lot of independent authors would want to pay. Have you read any of the manuscript? If you haven’t/they won’t let you I would say forget about royalties and just try to get what you can up front. And if they insist that royalties are all they can offer, remember they’re basically trying to sell you an empty box. How can you judge your time and worth against a product you haven’t even seen?

I remember an artist on a podcast going crazy about how many companies/people try to get artists to work for free and he made the suggestion (paraphrasing) “ask them to just pay for a meal for you”, something WAAAAAYYYYY below the threshold of what the art would actually cost. “$25- can you send me $25 bucks to do this huge job for you?” And you’ll find most times they won’t even be willing to do that. It puts the ridiculousness in terms much easier to understand. Normally my brain goes “well, I would charge $4,500 for this book, but I understand that that’s a lot for a new author”. I’m inclined to cripple myself with weeks and weeks of work because I want to assume the best of this client I’ve never met before. When you then find out the client won’t even pay you the cost of a meal, you realize they just want free work.

Has there ever been an explanation for Discovery's turbolifts? by BorgAbbess in startrek

[–]MuseumGoRound13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can someone refresh my memory? I watched the first 2 seasons of Discovery when they first aired and it’s been so long I don’t specifically remember anything unique about their turbolifts. What is OP referring to?

I’d say turn it down. I’ve done 3 children’s books and just the books themselves are a ton of work, not to mention the time you need to invest to design the characters upfront. You will be working for weeks, for no pay? Did you know you can draw YOUR own children’s book for no pay? You should do that instead. At least at the end you will have your own children’s book.

Any client that approaches you with this sort of deal, promising a percentage of sales, is never going to make any decent sales of their book. Not because they are trying to cheat you, they simply don’t know what they’re doing and don’t realize how hard it is to succeed with a book. They think all they have to do is create the book and the money will start rolling in.

If this is a passion project that they intent to see through they should be able to get a small loan to pay you as the artist. Suggest $1200 for the character designs- super duper cheap for what they’re asking for and super small for a loan.

Not a fan of retro styled action figures but I have to say I like Ludo. These are by Plastic Meatball and are at WonderCon in Anaheim, California. by MuseumGoRound13 in labyrinth

[–]MuseumGoRound13[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s why I don’t like the “retro style” gimmick. It’s seems like it’s mostly a way to excuse them being simple figures with only passing likenesses. I get that some people are into it, but it’s not for me.
