twilight24 323 March 15, 2015 Share March 15, 2015 I was curious, as I can't draw but I can write ... what would be a fair trade for artwork? I'm not a great writer but I can string a few well constructed sentences here and there. I dunno , maybe it isn't fair to the artist, because writing a story can tale up to an hour or two while drawing can be a few days. I may just do commissions, just leery of putting my personal financial information online. What are your thoughts on this matter? Is it fair or no? Silently waiting Hoping the words come to mind Fingers tingling on keyboard Twitching and typing as words form on screen Tantalize the sensations With every thought and letter taking form Onto a new story and adventure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astral Blitzen 469 March 15, 2015 Share March 15, 2015 I think I need to prove my worth as a writer in the forums. I just need drive and motivation. Why not collab with artists and do like comics or somethin' or like an 'ask my oc' thing. *Slurping up a pink whale through a big straw while in a swimming pool filled with trash and some kinda gravy*.

ConcorDisparate 385 March 15, 2015 Share March 15, 2015 (edited) Could be fun ! I'm not that great at writing in english and I tend to write long sentences and to repeat words. If you're interested, I could use some help, but not right now, maybe in few weeks, I've got some ideas, but I need the pictures that go with them. You can visit my shop in the section dedicated to it. Of course, you don't have to do anything in return for a drawing , it's more about helping each other. No contract or anything like that. EDIT: I'm learning how to use ponyscape instead of GIMP right now, so I'm not doing requests now but when I'll start again, I will be able to draw much faster so I won't mind drawing multiple requests for one person(at least I hope it will be as fast as I think it will) Edited March 15, 2015 by ConcorDisparate Signature made by Pucksterv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinyl Scratch (Filly)™ 936 March 15, 2015 Share March 15, 2015 They are a fair trade, but you actually have to be decent at writing. No one wants something that is atrociously written in exchange for, say a beautiful picture.

Starlight Fan 538 March 17, 2015 Share March 17, 2015 Most people in the request guild section would happily make something without asking for anything in return. But if you really wanted to give something back, I bet they wouldn't deny a nice short story or poem. Just make sure you have a good plot and most importantly, correct grammar and sentence structure, because a badly written thing would infuriate the reader.

twilight24 323 March 17, 2015 Author Share March 17, 2015 I do and I can write well enough c: I just have trouble with spelling mistakes, and sometimes grammar.
