Commission issues, dunno if I can continue them
3 years ago
Ok so I'll try to be quick here
I recently changed jobs
My current job pays me way more than I can get with commissions
1 hour of me doing commissions makes 40% of what I earn with my job (per hour)
idk, its like putting the same effort for lower results which feels like wasting energy
I would need to double my commission prices to take them to the point where it can compete with my job
but for my skill, that price would be unfair and stupid wrong lol
Still I wanna compensate everyone for waiting 10 months without their turn arriving, so I thought of giving a free quick sketch to everyone on the queue list here https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/9897546
and then closing commissions for now until I know what to do here
Maybe until I get better at art and can justify higher prices, or idk
I created a channel on my discord server "commission-sketch-sorry-hi" where you can put in there your sketch idea for me to draw :> (https://discord.gg/ndvNVc4wBB)
You can dm me here your idea if you don't use discord.
Hope you can understand
There was a time when I wanted to make a living by drawing, but the reality is it doesnt pay that good unless you're crazy good at it or really REALLY love to draw 24/7

It's clear heaps of people like your art, and if you're making so little despite the time I'd argue it's time to raise them. As of now they're an absolute steal which, while great I can see how it's a problem.
sometimes I wanted to pay to get back some of my free time, idk
If you wanna raise the price, I say go for it and see if people will still pay. Set it so it's worth it to you, don't worry about the rest.
However if you genuinely think it's best to stop, I'm sure everyone will understand. I just wanted to give my two cents and say not to underestimate yourself!
I wouldn't mind paying double for comms if possible as well!
