 Posted: Wed Apr 01, 2015 12:36 am Post subject: YCH auctions |
 |
|
I've been looking at some of these YCH auctions and pictures on Furaffinity. It took me quite a long time to figure out what YCH meant (Your Character Here)
Anyone have any experience with this? Either as an artist or as a buyer?
I was ondering if it was something Vanessa could do to support the site. I have no idea of how much work is involved, especially compared to a regular commission, so it's just a thought.

I've bought one or two. If I had a lot more expendable money, I'd have bought a WHOLE lot more. Some artists come up with fantastic scenes and ideas/poses.
I imagine that a YCH isn't really much more effort than a regular commission. If anything, it would be a tad less. The pose and background (if any) is often already established, so all that is needed is to add the smaller details of the winning character and refine/finish the image as a whole.
As for Vanessa doing YCH auctions... isn't the whole comic a YCH? lol 
But, seriously, it would be interesting to know if they would be beneficial for the site, although I imagine it might be a step backwards since Vanessa would essentially be rebuilding the workload she has already reduced by ceasing the Custom Avatars and changing the art style of the comic itself.

That's true. I really have no idea about how much work it would be for Vanessa. I'd hope that it could perhaps help PBB a bit, if people were showing off their commission or YCH pictures on other sites.
If I could draw like you, I'd be doing a lot of YCH auctions, featuring my own fursona. I'd find it a lot of fun never knowing which character would end up with Constance.
How much room is there for a character to be of a different size than the one shown in the auction picture?

I could do it more often but since it takes a lot of my time it's a big project. (The higher the bid the more I work on the details.) And I don't always have the time or the energy for it. Plus my second YCH auction was a fail. Nobody bid on it and now it's a for sale piece. http://www.furaffinity.net/view/15127695/
As for it character size it can easily be bigger/smaller/thinner or more muscles than the sketch. It's just a matter of getting the proportions to fit together.
Måske we kunne finde ud af noget sammen. Jeg kunne lave auktioner med din figur (scener efter dit valg). Du ville få gratis billeder ud af det.

Glimrende og tak. 
Brug gerne påsken til at tænke på en idé til et billede. Jeg er ude og rejse fra i morgen af og kommer først hjem mandag. Du kan bare sende mig en note på FA, når du har en idé.
God påske.

Since Vanessa just did commission work I don't see any difference between doing those and doing YCH's that might provide revenue for her and possible promotion of the site since the pics would be non canon anyway.

That's what I would hope, and I'd love to hear her view on YCH auctions.

We also have at least a few more avatars to look forward to as well and I can't to see how that turns out. Oh and Jerin, If I had to wager a guess Scorpia and Symphony are discussing commission work.
