Don't be afraid to ask if your preferred artist would be willing to do thumbnails!
I charge $3 for 6, but your artist may charge a different amount.
Communication between artist and commissioner is important, but don't panic! Just be polite.
What do some non-digital thumbnails look like? See some of mine here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/12301911/
Sure, I'm okay with all that! Feel free to email me with your ideas at thejeweledhorn@gmail.com if you like. :)
This is a super great idea! I think I may add this to my list of things to offer :3 Thank you for bringing this some attention!

Wow, I actually love this idea! I never thought about doing this myself or ask artists when buying their drawings.
It's a really practical way to see your idea from different points, in an unique small sketch to then decide which one you'd want to be completed. Sometimes when buying a single sketch, they ask for too much that you can't buy the full version later, so this is a perfect alternative for clients with not too much to spend.
I'd be very interested in applying this to my commission page and, also, commission you for thumbnails. :)
Just a question though, let's say I'd buy the thumbnails but not a final version, just to have the ideas and, maybe buy them later.
Would that be okay to you?
