Would ppl be interested in OC-based music comms?

UPDATE: The post is up!

I'm aware this website basically runs on art, but I'm not exactly the best at art, and I know if I try to learn it I'll lose interest before I can actually get anywhere (damn you rapid hyperfixation switching). However, something I am good at is making music, so I was wondering if people would be interested in commissioning music based on their characters? I'd likely be able to provide video game styled music (general char theme or boss theme), FNF music ('cringe' but also typically my best works lmao), or just general music based on vibes. I'd also probably make the prices rather low because I'd feel bad about making them too high.

So I was wondering, would people comm me, and how much would people be willing to give, in art/points/money/designs/literally anything else? I can figure out a way to provide examples later today ^-^

Update: Here's a playlist of 11 of my songs!

I might be interested, paying in either money or art! Is there a place to listen to some of your music? :o

PokeRen

DndManatee I'll hopefully be able to compile all my best examples later today, as my youtube channel is mainly flooded with FNF content at the moment. If you want, I'll ping you when I get it up!
However in the meantime, I have uploaded some non-FNF related tracks in the past:

Jack Prime (has a heavier boss battle vibe)

Drifting (has a chill chiptune vibe)

SSEG OST - Reflection (also chill, but not chiptune. also rather short because it's meant to loop in a game)

Hope this helps!

YES.   I can't make music myself but I always wanted my characters to have their own OSTs for fun!    Right now I can't afford to spend money due to being a full-time student, but I could try to offer designs or artworks at the moment (can't tell you the amount because it's not something I use as a currency therefore there's no range),  unless the final price range can be manageable for me

Honestly id even say you have better chance selling music here than art - site with many artists but few musicians, all obsessed with their little guys and definitely interested in at least a simple leitmotif to give them

PokeRen

Strix Thank you for the encouragement!

TIZQIIN Thank you also! As for the price, just a simple design or small art is completely fine!

I'd be super interested.

I had a music piece done by another artist for one of my most beloved ocs several years ago and it remains one of my favorite commissions.

NinjaNightCrawler

If I had the means to commission, I'd be more than interested! :D

MeowMeow422

Would definitely be interested! Tho I wouldn't be able to pay in cash. So only art and designs.

As for the price, it'd be dependant on how much you'd charge per length for a piece. And then I'd just figure out/ calculate what would be the most appropriate

PokeRen

Bellamy NinjaNightCrawler 615 thank you all for the feedback! I'm currently working on compiling my best works as examples for you guys!!

MeowMeow422 Thank you! I'm honestly not expecting cash, and also I probably won't charge by length just based on the fact I typically make a song as long as it needs to be, and if someone commissioned a song too long I wouldn't be able to continue it from there without it feeling forced. It'll likely be a set average based on the type of song ordered.

MeowMeow422

Ah, okay, noted.

Btws, would you mind pinging once you open for these comms pls?

PokeRen

MeowMeow422 of course! I'm also looking around trying to figure out how people set prices when selling stuff for art/designs lmao

If you'd like some reassurance, there are/ have been users on TH who specifically look for music commissions

And there are other users who also offer music commissions. Here are some threads that are offering music commissions which you can try looking at to reference/ get an idea of how to set up your own (these are just a handful that came up in the forum search list):

There's definitely a market for them, so don't be afraid to offer them!
If you need to showcase examples, linking to a different site (ex. Youtube, Soundcloud, etc.) is possible, but if you're comfortable with coding, you can also upload your works on a hosting site (ex. Filegarden) and then use a code to paste them in (as an example, I have Basic Playlist [Direct/ YT] and Audio Commissions where you can paste in direct audio).

Good luck!
NinjaNightCrawler

you're welcome! Good luck! :D

DndManatee Here's the link to the playlist with a few more of my songs!

Avistella Thank you very much for the hosting advice but as you can see above I'm uploading to my youtube :3 Also, the other music commission posts are very useful for pricing and such, so thank you!
