The (Hypothetical) Commision of the Decade
This is just a creative brainstorming topic I wanted to bring up, and although I wanted to ask mainly the resident artists here about it, I figure commissioners + other users as well could offer some interesting ideas. Please note though this is entirely hypothetical; this isn't my plan to commission anyone for shit ton of money...

For our artists:
So let's say that someone was willing to offer you $1000 for a single commission piece (no comic pages or anything beyond just one whole piece), where it would have to somehow relate to the Hub as the main prompt, perhaps as a way to really show off the site + community in all its glory. While I'm aware it's best to have the commissioner actually be specific on what they want, assume you have complete creative control over the piece (plus permission to use people's OCs here), and have an entire month to work on it.
What exactly would it be of, who would be depicted in it, would it be non-digital at all (like painting or sculpting), etc. etc. Try and be genuinely realistic as if this (ridiculous) opportunity came about, cause I really wanna see what you guys would want to make yet be every cent worth it.

For anyone else:
So let's say that YOU are willing to pay $1000 that can only go toward a single commission piece (no comic pages or anything beyond just one whole piece), where it would at the very least have to be posted to the Hub (so hypnosis in some way featured). It could have some relationship to the Hub within it, but isn't required like the semi open-ended prompt for artists.
What exactly would it be of, who would be depicted in it, would you want it non-digital at all (painting or sculpting), which artist would you hope to try and take this on (plus would they be one that has work here on the Hub at all), etc. etc.-

I'm honestly curious to hear what some people would equate to being worth $1000 when it comes to pure creativity + artistry itself. Try to be detailed with your ideas, but do keep within the actual realm of possibility and not go absolutely overboard. :9

Answering as an *artist, realistically, huge sums of money such as 1000 can really be overwhelming and could really question ones confidence/ability to pull off such piece. I believe most artists naturally lack confidence in their work as it is; "Am I good enough? I wish I could draw as good as...."

But you probably already considered this, moving on; as for the piece, I'd probably attempt to potray several notable people and members of higher order (admins, moderators etc) in our community with their according avatars, our popular characters and let's not forget our mascot (and her counterpart :P), in some sort of hangout?

Eh, this is sounding kind of bland, but being an analytically-biased artist; my goal would be to have a simple but powerful composition.

having a bunch of artists make some OCs of the users (who give them specs) and have them go on adventures

Answering as an "Artist" (I don't know if I can responsibly call myself one), I would make a parody of <<upload.wikimedia.org/wiki...1.jpg/300px-Sanzio_01.jpg||Scuola di Atene (The School of Athens)>>, featuring all the writers, artists and admins of Hypnohub. Obviously, it would be FAR, FAR less detailed than the original image, but it would still be a ridiculous, overblown festival of hypnosanity.

We could even have games to determine who the two central figures are.

Idea! I would commission an image where all of the prominent members of the hub(represented by their OCs) are all just chilling out and having a great time with Hypno-Tan. Then, there would be another image underneath were the whole world is in ruins and everything is on fire, with Hypno-Tan whistling to herself as she frantically swings a pocket watch in order to keep all of the people around her under. And of course, in the background Awake-San would be there with a sign saying "I told you so!"

That came out darker than I had originally planned. I meant for it to be humorous...
