omg its another commissions journal (change in prices, etc)
15 years ago
(This is a placeholder journal, and will be updated as I make changes or add things to the list.)
So per this situation: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/1487282/ I decided I'm going to change my commission prices a little bit. I'm always told not to undersell myself but I think with the recent situation I will take what I can get >_>
Not all of them have changed but a few things have. If you, the commissioner, decide you want to pay me more for something, then that's okay with me. I am willing to negotiate!
So here goes:
Commission Prices:
For $3 I will do:
•Critter bookmarks
•Oekaki art
•Doodle art
For $5 I will do:
•Badges
•Chibis
•Bookmarks
For $10 I will do:
(Simple background)
•Sketches
•Postcards
•Bust or waist-up
For $15 I will do:
(Simple background)
•Inked/Black and White
•Full toned character
•Full/detailed background sketches
For $20 I will do:
•Full color character
•Full/detailed background inked/toned
•Character sheets
For $30 I will do
•Full/detailed background color
For $40+ I will do traditional illustrations. It's more expensive because of the cost of materials and etc etc. For single characters it will be $40 and in the $50 range for full background depending on the complexity.
*Add $5 per character/figure if you want more than one
What I won't draw:
•Porn: Not because I'm a prude (maybe a little), but because I'm not that good at it, like at all.
•Animations: I am flash retarded and I can't animate. I know people who can though!!
•Mechs: I can't draw robots but if you're willing to challenge me and work with me, we can uh.. work something out xD
•Hate art: I will not draw anything that is meant to be a violent act against someone else or some racial/religious group.
• Cub/Scat/Vore: that goes for anything pedo-related. Cause yes I may have a pedo crush on Zac Efron but I don't do the whole... fetish thing.
• Other people's characters without their permission
What I will draw:
•Fan Art: I feel weird drawing other people's characters for payment but uh yeah xD I'll draw whatever you ship I guess.
•BL/GL
•Pinup style/tasteful stuff
•Your original characters :D That's the point!
Disclaimers: I WILL put the commissions I finish on my website, but it is for PORTFOLIO PURPOSES ONLY! I will not claim rights to any characters, make prints or sell it to anyone else. I'm cooler than that ya'll!
Mini-FAQ thing:
•Why do you charge so much for traditional stuff?
A: because I am poor and need money to replace failing materials or paper or whatever. It takes more time and work.
•Do you make anything like keychains or jewelry?
A: I do a lot of handmade stuff but right now it's in the experimentation stage, so I haven't advertised anything yet. I don't want to offer it up if it all sucks xD haha
•Are you for hire?
A: YES. I will freelance for moneys.
•Can I pay you to draw comics?
A: I don't really like doing comics for commission but eh. why not. I charge a lot more for those though. Like $75+ :\ depends though
•Do you take requests/trades?
A: I don't take requests unless it involves my characters, because I like to hear what others like to see of my rather colorful cast 8D But otherwise, no. Often times Requests get put at the bottom of the list and don't get done then people get hurt feelings and drama blah blah. So no no no. Trades? I'll consider it but only if you're a close friend and have patience 8D But those don't get done as fast either.
•Why does it take you so long to do commissions?
A: I dunno. It just does. I'm kind of slow with them. I have a kind of mental block from a long time ago where I got burnt out drawing requests all the time and now i just drag my feet. it's not that I don't WANT to do them, I'm just always busy and get preoccupied. So if you need something right away, please give me a deadline! I work better with time restraints.
•Will you make art on things like tags or cardboard and stuff?
A: if you have an idea and want to see me make art on some kind of material I haven't tried yet, challenge me! I'm willing to experiment!
•Do you know of anyone who can make......
A: If I can't make something for you, I'll direct you to someone I know who does. I have friends with a wide range of talents so if I know of anyone who is open for commissions, I'll send you their link :)
