http://russelh.deviantart.com/journal/poll/2323870/ Moral of the story: deviants are poor. OR, everypony I know is too young to have responsibilities.

@gherkin I missed that poll. I'd pay!

@ceruleanspark But the majority wouldn't. :( Unless I start them cheap...

@gherkin I've seen some artists have success with $5 sketch deals, but you don't really do "quick dirty sketches"

@gherkin You've also got to remember that the majority won't pay for ANYTHING, EVER.

@ceruleanspark Hmm. Maybe I could sell prints. Technically, they would have to have no copyrighted ponies on them. I think I've got an idea to get around this, but I'm not sure that's an idea for a print that folks would buy.

@gherkin What's the plan?

@ceruleanspark @rotation I remember reading that DA supports fan characters, so long as you file all the serial numbers of and don't mention which fandom they're from. Similarly, if you draw a character in a way that isn't official (for example, ponies as humans) the holder can't claim the copyright. Of course, I can't find where it said that, now.

@gherkin How does this solve your problem though? Unless you're going to sell prints of human ponies?
Wednesday, 05-Oct-11 09:54:10 UTC from TTYtter-
@ceruleanspark I've an idea. *taps nose confidentially*

@gherkin In before banned from DA and then sued.

@ceruleanspark I think they've changed their policies, actually. There used to be an example in their FAQ... 'You may not sell: "here is my original Star Wars character, he is a Jedi and likes cutting up Stormtroopers with his lightsabre", however you may sell: 'here is my original character, he is a battle monk and likes cutting up enemy soldiers with his laser sword'".

@gherkin Battle monk just doesn't sound right and brings up memories of battle pope.

@neonflash What are Jedi if not battle monks?

@gherkin Fictional for a start. They are also galactic peace keepers. So I think "My stunning galactic peace keeper with a very lethal flashlight" just sounds cooler.

@rotation But he can already charge for the act of actually drawing those.

@rotation I've always been skint. Say, that's a nice pound coin you have there. It would be a shame if something were to HAPPEN to it...

@rotation I love simple tasks! Simple tasks are my favourite!

@rotation Then what? Post it?
