Commission Prices/Types Update
2 years ago
Hello Everyone,
I hope you’re all doing well!
I wanted to provide some updates on my life and some adjustments to a few of my recent expansions!
My tooth has been fully fixed! I’m glad for that restoration, thank you all for your support and understanding while I got things situated! I have also been able to secure a new-to-me computer! The little 2013 I have has been incredible with getting back on my feet, but I finally have a computer that can (fingers crossed) fully handle my workload.
While my financials are shaping up, I am remiss to admit that spring has been a very rough period in my life, and fairly recently in the last few years. I had written this post a few weeks ago, but lost someone else this year and it shut me down again. The Spring period might just be a period of time where I’m a little quiet until I can put distance in my mind from all of the people I’ve lost just in the process of a few months. I thought I could handle it, but fell off of my usual correspondence because of a very low mood and becoming quite reclusive. I will try to be better about this in the future!
I apologize to those I might not have gotten a hold of recently, I hope you’re all doing well! I also wanted to thank you for your patience and understanding as I worked this out.
Slot Commissions
I have been working on a massive overhaul of everything in my commissions! I realize that having a large queue would constantly stress me out, and as I’ve had a terrible work-life balance for the last few years, if I have a lot of commissions I end up feeling like I have no free time, because every free moment I’m not working on my job should be working on progressing commissions so I don’t fall behind, and continuing that energy forever. So instead, I will be transitioning to a Slots-Only and YCHs-Only premise! Ideally, I would love to do a small amount of weekly Commission slots, with YCHs throughout! I might be purposing my journals or submission to announce openings, if there is any way you prefer it, please let me know!
Commissions like this will be posted first in my Discord before being made publicly available!
Commission Changes
I originally priced my commissions so that flat colors would be affordable, and half the price of my completed pieces. The trouble with that, I realize, is that flat color takes me a lot longer than half of the process. So I will be working up the prices of Flats a little to be more reflective of the amount of time that takes. I will also be allowing a new budget option, “Sketches” which are a bit of a misnomer because they are actually my lineart stage in standard commissions. However, they are an easy way to get sketch pages and doodles, and it may be good to add color to these pieces at a later time for the difference in the price between Sketch and the finish you would like!
I had a website, but I realize it was very hard to work with revisions or grab relevant forms because of the layout of the website. I will be going to a Doc instead to better facilitate changes that I might need to make in prices or in examples or otherwise. If you would like to look at my current prices and offerings, I implore you to check out that new doc Here!
Thank you so much for your time!
