The Uutak Mythos Arts & Activities Fund
Donation protected
Hello, IceFireWarden/Al-Hatoor here. The Uutak Mythos, if you haven't been aware of it up until now, is one of the longest running fan-based projects in the Elder Scrolls community and might be the longest writing fan-project in regards to fictional communities in general. You can read about it more on our official UESP page and can see it discussed in the official Uutak Mythos discord as well.
Although the Mythos has survived on and off for about six years, we have always struggled with inactivity and general obliviousness/disinterest in regards to the material. Most of this is probably due to poor marketing on our part, but a lot of it is also due to how the Mythos doesn't exactly catch the eye of the general fan. The majority of our team is comprised of writers and not modders or artists, and the few that we have are either too busy or have their reasons for not being able to help create visual aids to reel in new readers. Because of this, the UM is in a decline in regards to interest despite the limited of commissions that we do make.
We are hoping with this fundraiser we are able to raise additional funding for getting missions of various concept art and the like done for the Mythos to add to our various official articles and to further promote the project to increase viewers and readers within the Elder Scrolls community; bear in mind that we are not doing this for personal profit of any kind. Other members of the project and myself will also be donating our own funds to the overall commissions pot to get artwork finished for the project as well. Unfortunately, a lot of us are unable to handle the entire weight of commissioning financially at this time due to several pressing real life matters.
The end goal of this fund is $800, due to an estimate average price of commissions we see available amongst the average community artist and our own personal experiences with commisioning art from others. We would greatly appreciate any kind of help whatsoever, and will post or share updates on our FB page and the like of the art being made for the project. Thank you in advance.
