3D character commissions?

So I'm sending out an query here: My friend
schnitzalted is a 3D artist and he wants to make some extra money plying his skills. Unfortunately there seems to be less of a market for the stuff he has been modeling, mainly science stuff. So we were joking around about him taking furry commissions, since he seemed interested in the fact I've made a pretty good supplementary income with my work.
So I'm curious if anyone here knows anyone out there who does 3D commissions, and beyond just furry stuff because he can do just about anything (models for people, creatures, RPGs and the like)
So does anyone know of where he could get some business for his type of art? If you are curious to see some just check his journal.

I'm sure I can find him work in a couple weeks when my funding comes in if the price is right.

I think people need to enjoy and relate to what they're doing to really do a good job. He might get burnt out on doing weird animal people pretty quick. XD

on 2008-10-07 01:36 am (UTC)I suppose he could offer one off painting type pieces (which means he wouldn't have to waste time on the stuff thats not seen and rigging), but there would still be the texturing and/or painting and fixing up, depending on how good they are with 2D.
Animations are also potentially good, but goodluck finding anyone who will pay for them :D
The medium he might be able to make some money with would be Second Life, doing avatars and custom avatars or whatever.
