Having answered 'Other', here is my promised comment:

Seriously? If $$$ was no object at all, I'd set myself up as your highfalutin' Art Patron™, and I'd really try to only ask you to create art on my whim 50% of the time or less. ^_^

[moonvoice]

Heh. I'd love an art patron (or like, 100 of them), I sometimes think there's a part of my soul that says sneaky things like 'now, if you lived in Europe you'd have an art patron by now...'

[tsukikokoro]

OMG TICKY BOX!!!!

[moonvoice]

TICKY BOX!!!!

Yes, I listened to the masses and decided to put one in.

[darakat]

Ticky box!

TICKY BOX!

I would like to complain about this poll, for not having the "You would, of course, live in my basement and draw whatever you wanted and I would feed you chocolate and take you for walks in the woods." option.

I see I am not the only one who would have ticked a box along those lines :)

(Alternatively, I could live in your basement, because hey! I've never been to Australia, that could be fun.)

[linstar]

But for the fact that Australia is so sad ass we don't even have basements! :)

[silverjackal]

Heh. I chose multiple answers, because I like individual pieces of all of your art enough to want to own them. I'd say "do more of whatever you want to do more of -- odds are I will be impressed!" :D If you're seriously asking for what would sell better, in my opinion the Wandsuna series might be a little less popular because it's so symbol-rich, while everyone can relate a little more easily to the totems, if only on the level of liking the animal. <-- That said, I'm not sure if this is an accurate reflection of people who buy *your* art specifically. I don't claim to understand all buyers-of-art. Someone is buying that horrific Thomas Kinkade stuff that periodically offends my senses in public displays. (Seriously, there's something about his art that I find actually repellant, though I can't quite articulate it. Particularly the too-bright cottage scenes -- I think on some deep level I feel like he's painting a candy-coated illusion, and there's horror lurking underneath. Maybe that says more about me than about his art. On the other hand, I don't know anyone who actually *owns* any of it, not so much as a tiny print, so perhaps I'm not the only one.)

[hrafn]

Have you seen what the Something Awful forums did with Photoshop and Thomas Kinkade paintings? :D (Speaking of lurking - and not so lurking - horror in those paintings.)

[linstar]

Bahahaha I'm not here for your art! :) Here for a long time hon with a hell of a lot of good times! :D

[moonvoice]

I am just glad you're here! YAY!

[starstrider]

I clicked practically all of them. XD

Especially that you would live in my basement. Although, I don't think you would live in my basement because it's not terribly conducive to being artistic not to mention living...And I'd take you out to the barn, too methinks. *grin*

[moonvoice]

I don't think you would live in my basement because it's not terribly conducive to being artistic not to mention living...

Well... in retrospect the lighting wouldn't be that great. :D

[brushwolf]

I would love to see more mythology in general. But I know that not am I not throwing you money, but also that there's a certain amount of personal connection there for you to do some of the bigger art pieces, and pulling personal connection to just random stuff is not always easy.

[moonvoice]

Mythology as in Vilturj mythology? Or as in other religions like say, Greek or Egyptian?

[unaspenser]

I love your artwork, and if I had the money I'd already own some of it! I ticked many boxes, and I think all of these are wonderful ideas, but the one thing I'd like to see that I haven't seen you do is plants/trees/flowers as totems or powerful presences. I connect so strongly to nature, and I think that would be wonderful. Maybe also the elements... the ocean, a fire, the sky, etc. Is that too woo woo?

[moonvoice]

I have drawn a tree / land spirit before, it's here:

http://ravenari.deviantart.com/art/Umiri-Local-Land-Spirit-01-111858393

I meant to do many more, but there's been so few expressions of interest for them in terms of sales, I haven't done them. I think I'd work on them as specific commissions, but that's about it.

The other thing I struggle with, with land spirits, is that I'd not be able to draw a place I'd never been to. I can find ways around that with animals, and even some plants, but not land spirits and specific rivers of fields.

Le Client des Arts

[perzephone]

If I ever hit Megabucks, I'mma buying all your Wandsunas (even the ones that scare me) and your birds-of-paradise.
In the Other category, I'd have you do a life-size portrait of me among my spirit guides (not life-size of the guides, because one's a mammoth & I'm not looking for a cave-painting size mural but life-size of me, so I could see all the detail).

We has no basements in Vegas, either :P

If money was slightly less of an object right now, I'd buy stuff off DA constantly.

Re: Le Client des Arts

[moonvoice]

There's no many Wandsuna's left now, since so many got destroyed about two years ago. :/ I need to repopulate my collection.

[goddess_incarnate]

I actually really prefer your Wandsuna images the most. I think your art is really great in general, but something about THAT specific series really intrigues me.

I didn't click any of the other boxes, though I thought those options were cute. :3

But, looking at the option above me, I agree on two accounts:
1. That I'd love for you to draw me as you saw me - energy, guides and all that stuff. I found an Australian artist online who DOES do that and charges an arm and leg to do so. Heh.
2. If I had more money in general, I'd buy more prints off of DA quite frequently.

:D

[moonvoice]

I found an Australian artist online who DOES do that and charges an arm and leg to do so. Heh.

I think I would as well, personal portraits are hard, and doing them in my style (instead of those lazy amorphous fuzzy things that some people draw) would probably mean a picture costing somewhere near $800 or more.

[spider_fox]

Rofl, "you'll live in my basement" XD. Yes indeed.

I was tempted to click on everything....ticky boxes do that.

Mainly Wandsuna, spiritual and totem pics would be top of my list.

[moonvoice]

What sort of spiritual pictures, out of curiosity?

[freysmuppet]

I clicked the basement option as well as spiritual, twee, fantastical, totems, and Wandsuna. And TICKY BOX!!!

*feeds you chocolate*

[moonvoice]

TICKY BOX!!!

*noms on chocolate*

[linstar]

Wow... you weren't wrong about it being completely anonymouse... What a concept!

[moonvoice]

It is anonymouse! I luuuuurve it!

[bodlon]

And by "live in my basement," I mean, "live wherever you like with whomever you like with the ability to come and go freely, just with a ridiculous trust account/stipend and every so often I would get something shiny."

Because, you know, if money is no object, I can totally revive the patronage system. :)

[moonvoice]

"live wherever you like with whomever you like with the ability to come and go freely, just with a ridiculous trust account/stipend and every so often I would get something shiny."

DONE!

Hee.

Tickybox!

[allati]

I don't have a basement yet, but I'm starting one just for yooou <3

BIGASS GODS, PS if money was no object you KNOW I would have Red Riding Hood by now.


DRAGONS

Re: Tickybox!

[moonvoice]

We don't have a basement either, but I like the idea.

Ooooo! DRAGONS!!!

[shimmerhawk]

I was torn between the fantastical creatures and the "you would live in my basement" option, because I have lots of chocolate around and could use someone to take on walks in the woods, haha. But I had to go with the fantastical creatures option. That's probably good, because my basement is creepy as hell and there are spiders down there.

[elialshadowpine]

Fairytales, fantastical, totems, and you would live in my basement. ;) Also something spiritual. I would love to see what you would do with a full size representation of Bast (and I know you've done the "totem" version, but I'm thinking something big), or Sekhmet, or even Tezcatlipoca.

[freyakitten]

I'm never getting a basement. But one of the things I WANT is a cold cellar which is made so that it can be a bushfire shelter. Not in suburbia. But in urbia, yes :D

[sarah_tv]

One of my small dreams is to have enough free money to commission you on doing a spirit wheel for me. Not that I've not done them myself, but I'd be intrigued to see what you would to with the concept.

Thoughts

[ysabetwordsmith]

Had I that kind of money, I'd chat you up for a commission or few, and see where our interests mesh.

[cherrydaiquiri]

As per "other", one of my favourite of your works is actually the Self-Portrait in Snail.
