(and in general)

Instead of simply asking "will you pay the new price or cancel?" I'll offer a few options. So for the original price I'll let them know what that would get them (and with a few other suggestions if they really want the full illustration look), but I'll also say the new price for the original idea. This way if they still wanna pay the original price but are okay with the alternative option (possibly a refined sketch + shading instead of full illustration) then that could be best for the both of us!

Pricing is now more individual and not an over all "this is the price for this kind of commission" since they are all so different. @_@

But I feel much better about this idea with giving more options.

I got a big chunk of my personal needed list done, so I see an end in sight! I also moved a few things for "later" as they really weren't needed before Halloween.
But gosh, Halloween is coming up pretty quickly. I'm excited!
