I was wondering if I should do some commission reservation slots?
as it is right now, although i finished the original list of commissions, i've got a couple of patreon pics to do and a bunch of stuff for rekzar so I wont be opening commissions yet
but i thought, for those of you who really really want a commission and want to be assured you'll get one when i open again, reservation slots might be a good idea?
It'd be like this
I take 5 commissions at a time.
when those slots are full, there will be a further 5 slots for reservations
reservations will be ensured by a 20% non-refundable deposit (20% of the full price of your commission)
when it comes to commissions opening again, or if I finish really fast and want something to do before opening again, I'll contact you first, you pay the rest of the commission price (the remaining 80%)
I do your commission then.
reservations would only be available to flat colour commissions or above.
it would be non-refundable so that people will be less likely to pull out, and in case i make a start with ref gathering ect when i have spare time.
do you think reservations are a good idea?
if yes do you think the reservation process is ok? or is there something you think would work better/be changed?
let me know!

I mean, if you make a down payment on a tattoo (which i've had to do before) you're more likely to actually come get it done and not waste their time. which is the whole point.
if you're making a reservation but then spend all the money, well, you shouldn't have made the reservation in the first place. lol
the lion bias is born. xDDD
also he's not quite to the level of 'everyone does stuff for him' as lil-maj xDD
In any case I am totally game for the reservation idea. Cause i DO want a piece form ya
Also, even if someone accepts that the deposit is non-refundable and they later have to cancel... it may lead to some unconscious (or conscious!) bad blood.
For the commissioner... they -still- have to get on your reservation list, so it's hardly any different from them getting on your normal commission list.the only way to make it better would be if you have to keep asking them if they're ready to go ahead with their commission each time you open (ie. their reservation never gets cancelled).
My thoughts!
