Whentai and commissions

studiooppai:

I’ve decided to give whentai a shot. I’ve been bitter about that site for around a year now, because the old system for artists was bad. It used to be only 8 artists would get paid per week, by the total number of likes and votes on their work. So of course logically the popular artists would always be paid for their commissions while the small fry like others and I would be just wasting our time doing free requests on the site. I had decided when I first started drawing on whentai I would have a 3 strike rule. Meaning I’d continue drawing there until I got screwed 3 times. So low and behold I got screwed 3 times in a roll. So I left the site never to return until now. I’ll be giving the site one chance. I’ve opened one poll there. I’ll see how this goes since I’m not sure how the site even works anymore. If things go well I may do more with the site. If things don’t, well I’ll likely never bother using the site again.

Now I’ve been talking about opening some commissions slots for awhile now. And I think I’ve decided I will. Once I catch up some more on my own projects first. I’ll be opening a number of slots to hopefully help me afford a microphone so I can do better YouTube videos with audio, and maybe some live drawing steams with audio. Maybe even branching over to drawing SFW stuff on twitch or something. Or Q and A’s on YouTube. I don’t know what all will come. But I would like to own a mic to communicate with fans. I’ve heard the Yeti mic was really good. But it’s also very expensive. I may try to get it or another good one for videos. I’ll have to study more about which ones work best for what I’ll be doing.

Anyway sorry about all the recent text updates. I’ll try to focus more on just making content postings from now on. There’s still plenty more news and updates to come from studio oppai yet. There’s always a lot of stuff going on behind the scenes before I can announce it public. Thanks. See ya later! - studio oppai

the polls can take forever if you dont have a following there. your best bet is the direct commissions. as long as you dont mind bidding lower than the established guys then you can get commission work there. timing and networking is the key but you gotta be realistic about it.
