Hmm (mini rant)
3 years ago
I work excessively but in my free time, drawing is the best activity to wind down for me. I've had a very nice string of commissions in the past 3 months. Great new people with great communication. Once done and I run the completed piece I'm asked a variation of "can we keep this between us?" with some even throwing in a few extra bucks my way. I never given it much thought but then I realize its been months since I been on here and well...no new art.
I understand with some characters people don't want the connection made to their twisted side, or with some content, being too extreme that may put others off. I get that, but shit, 11 people in a row (23 images)? I'm starting to feel that maybe its less about the content and more about the quality of my work. Maybe these people commission me because its better than nothing and cheap? Shit thoughts been swirling around my head.
I dunno where I'm going with this but to state that I'm not taking private commissions anymore, at least in the meantime or if you're insane enough to pay double or triple my usual rates.
I'll be posting soon, have a pic I did early October I need to color to post then get onto new stuff.

Glad to see you're still drawing too! You could make it a rule that uploading the image is required (Or a larger fee to keep it private to make it worth your while to not showcase your art)?

That is the exact thing that I'm gonna do. Worst case its far less commissions which means more free time for personal pieces to work on

I didn't know you were offering commissions. Where can I find the prices?

OP
I don't have a formal list/guide and at this point I need to get off my lazy butt and make one. Based on complexity I average between $5-$20 (private only pics I will charge more cuz that's what most people tend to want from me, lol)
