Questions / Answers About This Auction

Q1: "Okay, here\'s why your auction is a terrible idea. This is free advice, so you should at least hear me out, even if you don\'t end up taking it. 1) By structuring your auction in this way, you\'re making it clear that the quality of the work you plan to commission is a non-issue for you. By focusing strictly on who can offer the best bargain, you\'re at least strongly implying that you don\'t care very much about what sort of applicants you\'re attracting or how well they can draw or tell a story visually. 2) You\'re only going to attract rank amateurs, guaranteed. You\'re forcing people to compete knowing full well before they bid that they\'re bidding based on desperation and a willingness to work for less than anybody is worth. Yeah, maybe you\'ll find an artist at bargain rates, but he won\'t be able to draw worth salt. And that won\'t do you any favours, certainly. Nobody wants to read a crappy looking comic that was produced for pennies on the dollar. 3) Even if your auction were to attract artists whose work is of a professional calibre (and trust me, it won\'t), you\'re insulting everything from their work ethic to their skill set by forcing them to crawl over the corpses of their equally desperate, disenfranchised comrades. No creative talent can be happy with such an arrangement. Anyway. I put in a bid. Good luck. You\'re going to need it." from randombeing

Q2: "Dear Josh, I just wanted to say that if you are looking for talented artist who have lowest page rate considering detail and quality of art I am man you are looking for. Also I do not want to lower my page rate below 19.50 US dollars because that would underestimate my work, my talent and my self respect. So, finnaly, if you are looking for fine artist who have talent and can draw you can talk to me. Thank you for your time. Thanks and good luck." from Fantastico
