News Update - Commissions , Pricing, Projects
8 years ago
Greetings everyone,
So I think it is time to kicks things up a bit so here are the latest updates and news from me:
Commissions ! New Queue system
Yes commissions are going to reopen and in a new fashion. So far i was opening a few slots and once they were filled i would not open new ones until the current queue was clear. I was doing this mainly because i didn't think i could handle the work load. So now it's going to be a rolling queue. The queue will be 10 slots, yes 10 rolling slots. This means that as soon as there is a slot cleared it will be automatically opened for the grab. I will keep the list updated as often as possible and will try to find a way to keep track of them in a more efficient way. Maybe if you guys know a good software that can do that it would help.
Pricing
Yeah yeah i know. Not the best thing you'd like to see but i haven't touched them for about 2 years and i feel like i have improved on my work in a way and i want my prices to reflect that a bit. Don't you worry i'm not going to double them and it will not impact ongoing commissions and current negociations with some commissionners. Plus it will help me fund a special project i will detail later in this news update.
New pricing will be :
- sketches : $20
- inked : $30
- Colored (flat) : $35
- Colored (shaded) : $40 (this can include a basic background)
-- extra character : +$5 / additional character
I will review them every 6 months on the basis of commissionners feedback and art improvement (if any).
Projects
So here's the big one... No not that one you silly minded people :/
I have many projects that i'm finally going to start. Mainly a comic project that i'm starting to work on. I have managed to put together a story, started working on references and even thumbnailing some pages. It will ask for a lot of effort and time that is kinda scarce but i really want to make it happen. It would be a boon for me as it will bring me experience for this kind of project and when i'm finally started, they will just roll out even faster (i hope :S)
Other than that, i'm starting to put a lot of money on the side. Mainly commission money that i get from you guys so i can invest in a WACOM STUDIO PRO 16"
Yes, i want to invest in better equipment but i don't want to bankrupt myself in the process so every cent that i receive from commissions will be used for this. The goal is to have $3000 saved for this... Yes that is a lot of money for a piece of hardware and you guys will probably say that there are cheaper alternatives.
But the fact is that my current hardware is getting kinda old and it's starting to show. So i figured why not go for the top range stuff that can replace what i currently have and also be able to bring that everywhere with me. It would mean i would be able to get more work done which means i could have more time to make my projects a reality (yay!)
This funding process will be tracked on my page so you guys can see how far we've gone. I will allow people to donate tips to help achieving that goal but i really want to fund this through commissions because i really don't like beg for money. So I hope you guys will be interested in taking commissions from me :3
That is all for today. It's already a lot but i feel like i can make it and the only way forward is by challenging oneself. Hopefully this will be a great learning experience.
Hope to hear about you guys soon !
So there you have it
