So I’m trying something out. Either this will be the greatest thing since Wendy’s added bacon to their menu, or it’ll flop like all-you-can-eat seven day old sushi. And all the flopping that it would entail.
What is “Micro Scribbles”, you ask? Well, to make a short story even shorter—no, wait. Let me indulge…
The year: 2011. The economy: “Meh. It could be better”. But micro transactions are all the rage! Instead of shelling out wads o’ cash on luxury items, people are instead wanting to spend a dollar here, five dollars there for simple virtual goods. Outfits for your online avatars. That new tractor for your virtual farm. Not necessarily things that you need, but custom items that make you stand out from the crowd.
So I says to myself, “Betty…(yeah, I call myself Betty, what’s your point?) How many people are always asking for a little doodle or a simple design for a birthday card, a flyer, or that poster their daughter has to do for their science project?”
Silence.
Come on, I don’t actually talk to myself! But the answer would have been--A LOT! And sometimes I just don’t have the heart to charge a $300 flat fee or $25 dollars an hour for that cute little dinosaur that will be on display in the school cafeteria. And since I’ve found that lately the majority of my time is spent drawing fun and cute little doodles that don’t fit within my service fees, I’ve decided to come up with Micro-Scibbles© (that’s right, if you ever try to use the name Micro Scribbles without the express, written consent of Tarl’s Scribbles “we will hunt you down and gut you like a fish!”) Actually, I can’t back that up. All I did was type the letter ‘c’ in-between two parenthesis and the copyright thingy popped right up. Go figure.
So, if you AREN’T looking for a complete business rebranding, logo design, illustrated graphic novel, or feature length animation, then maybe Micro-Scribbles might just be what you need. Take a look at what $10, $20, or even $30 dollars might get you. You’ll see the example of a woman, a bat (after all, it’s almost Halloween), and a reindeer, and how the quality, detail and color of each design changes with the amount you’re willing to spend.
