For the last month I had discussed various methods of subscription based stock art and methods of making it work. Even though I kept the discussion open, I couldn't make the numbers work way before I even posted about it publicly. That said, something of interest that did come up was the idea of a Patronage project.
So, here we are now as I try the "Patronage" model out and see if it works or not.
Details: The first project will be for a set of creatures. The set will include 20 different creatures/monsters. Monstrous humanoids are allowed, but not standard humanoids. What does that mean? Well, and orc would be a monstrous humanoid, but a dwarf would not.
The set is for fantasy based monsters, although I'm sure many of them will be easily placed into any setting. All images will be 1/4 page in size and fully colored. Both B&W and Colored versions will be provided to patrons. All files will be 300dpi tiffs.
Patronage Levels: There will be two levels of Patronage, with different benefit.
$10.00 Patronage- The $10 Patron will receive all 20 images in B&W and Color. They will receive a license to use the pieces of artwork once in a single publication. The copyright to the illustration remains with the artist, who is granting permission to the patron to use the illustration once.
$25 Patronage- The $25 Patron will receive the above but will also be able to make a request on a single creature to be drawn. Give ideas, watch the sketch process, be a part of it's creation. For every $25 you contribute you will gain access to another creature to help create, as long as spots are available. You will also receive all 20 images in B&W and Color as mentioned above.
You will receive a license to use the pieces of artwork once in a single publication. The copyright to the illustration remains with the artist, who is granting permission to the patron to use the illustration once.
