★ Commission Docket & FAQ ★
14 years ago
Commissions are currently OPEN! See below for more information.
Don't wait for the queue to shrink—the commission docket is rarely empty.SCROLL DOWN FOR THE FAQ! :D
The following is my current commission list. If a name has "reserved" after it, it means that they have paid $5 to have their slot reserved and they will be given a progress bar once they've paid in full; but their piece will be worked around in the queue until they finish payment.
If you are on this list: Feel free to e-mail me at ANY time to inquire about your commission. (You may Note/PM me, but please keep in mind that I may not see it for a few days.) Do NOT feel bad about "pestering" me. You are a paying customer; you have every right to ask me how things are going! Just know that if you haven't seen any art, it probably means it doesn't exist yet; you can still ask me what's taking so long, but don't think I've simply forgotten because that really doesn't happen. (I'm obsessively organized.)
About the progress bars:
-10% usually means I've started prelim work but haven't gotten a full sketch completed to send yet.
-25% means a sketch is complete. If you haven't gotten it, I'm not quite ready to send it yet.
-40% and 50% mean inks and flats (on a full color image) are complete, respectively.
-75% means colors are halfway done, or the image is mostly done (if not full-color).
-90%/95% means the pic just needs finishing touches and post-work in Photoshop, or last-minute changes have been requested.
The docket is generally kept loose. I usually only send e-mails after a sketch or final colors are completed. I will send inks for approval if they differ greatly from the sketch they are based on. I will sometimes remove a listing from the docket if I'm having trouble wrapping it up or it's pretty much done but the client hasn't gotten back to me yet (as a full docket means people are less likely to hire me!) :D It doesn't mean a person has lost their slot if they disappear from the docket. You will see the ID# of each commission in the list below, which indicates the order in which the request was received, but a rush job (indicated by a ★) or being put on hold may move its location in the queue.
Notes:
★ RESERVES: Clients may reserve a slot in the queue with a non-refundable $5 deposit which is not a part of the final payment. If your slot comes up and you still haven't paid, I'll move to the next in line until payment has been received.
★ RUSH ORDER: Sometimes you need a rush order! To skip ahead in the queue, pay $5 per slot skipped from the bottom. You may not skip anyone who has already been skipped (indicated by a red x). Reserved slots are subject to the same rule, and can only be legitimately skipped once.
★ Occasionally I just get stuck, and may do a piece ahead of yours because it's simple. You will earn your x if this happens and I will absolutely not allow you to be skipped again. (I try REALLY hard not to do this, but sometimes it's either work on someone else, or get nothing done.)
COMMISSION LIST:
★ - Rush order. Client has paid to skip ahead.
x - This client has already been skipped once, and may not be skipped again.

Frequently Asked Questions
The following are questions I get asked often:
Q: Are you currently open for commissions?
A: Thank you for your interest! You needn't ask me personally, though. My FA profile, as well as the footer in my FA journal, shows my current commission status and is always updated the moment my status changes.
Q: Do you have any slots left?
A: I don't generally open a certain number of slots, but when I do, I tend to use a single journal to keep track of them. When I do that, it's best if you keep your eyes on the journal rather than asking me in a note.
Q: How much would something like this (example image) cost?
A: Please check my blog's price page for general prices and links to examples. Compare what you have in mind with the examples on the page and you'll get a good idea of what I'd charge for it. I'm still happy to give you an estimate, though.
Q: Where can I find information about your rules, process, and payment information?
A: You can find it all on my blog, linked below.
Q: I have a question I need to ask before I submit your commission request form!
A: That's fine! If you have questions, please use the "Questions?" link on my blog (linked at the bottom of this response).
Q: I know what I want! Here's all the info...
A: If you are ready to submit a request, please use the "Commission Form" on my blog.
Q: Will you draw X, Y, or Z?
A: If you're asking what I won't draw, scat, vore, anything to do with bodily functions or massive gore and evisceration pretty much covers it. But you can still ask. Please see my "rules" page for more, but if it isn't covered, feel free to use the "Questions?" form that you find there. Again, it's all on my blog. Just be specific — don't be shy. I won't judge you, I'll just tell you straight up "yes" or "no". There are some things I may not accept purely because I've done a lot of them lately, or they're too difficult for me without a little practice time, or whatever. So feel free to ask.
Please note that if you PM me asking for links to my blog or any of this information, you'll be sent in a big fat circle right back to my profile and to this FAQ, so please, be respectful and try not to do this. We live in a fast-paced world, but I'm just as busy as you are. ♥
If you have a question aside from this, feel free to contact me via the "Questions?" form on my blog. For additional information, please read the section of links under the heading "Commission Info", found on the right-hand sidebar:
