I just got back from the optometrist, who gave me a prescription for computer glasses, one for allergy eye drops...and a really big bill -_- The new glasses should do a lot to alleviate the strain of looking at a screen all day, so I can spend more time making art! Now I just have to decide whether I prefer bronze or silver for the frames...

ellenmillion is now taking prompts for free abstract paintings! Tips are optional, but she has some great perks for everyone who donates, including (animated!)icons, original ACEOs, and bigger paintings.

ysabetwordsmith posted an article yesterday about People who boost the signal in crowdfunding". I'd love to see what supporters think about this. What motivates you to promote a project? What kind of perks to you like in exchange?

>>I didn't realize when I instituted this perk that so many of my links were coming from the same people<<

The more you track, the more you discover about how your project works and who interacts with it.

>>Aldersprig did raise an objection last month to the possibility of her sketches winning twice in a row, so if this trend continues (and from my latest count, it looks like it will) I'd certainly be willing to let either of you choose another sketch to be worked on instead. <<

*ponder* That's a good solution, probably better than just skipping a given sketch or person.

>>Maybe x number of referrals in a month can earn a free icon or equivalent amount of work on a sketch of your choice. Would something like that appeal to you?<<

Yes! That would be awesome. It's also useful to me, for learning what impact I have when I rec stuff. I was amazed to discover that I accounted for 9/10 of the traffic in aldersprig's genderfic call.
