The changes to price in July and why
3 years ago
As mentioned in the May's commission sheet and the current commission sheet, I have plan to increase the price. This journal is supposed to be posted earlier but the slots are filled quite fast so I decide to wait a bit to focus on working first.
8 months ago, I announced that the price would be going up because of a Paypal policy change in Thailand, taking more cuts and taking a hit to the income. Fortunately, the whole plan got knocked back and they're still deciding on what to do (likely in order to retain users) so I am able to ditch the plan for a price bump. This means I am still not a CEO of a furry art company though which is a tragedy and I already have a sign and a seal of approval and everything made.
Unfortunately, the global economy isn't really doing well and the price for everything is going up, especially food and bills. I actually plan on having a price bump a few months back to keep up with the inflation rate as the bills and food are slowly overtaking the portion I put aside for some monthly luxury spending (better meal/buying new games) and actually creeping into my saving. The other choices is to get even more pieces done per month but that's really difficult to do so considering the amount I already upload each month.
But if the price is going up, the only way to really justify it for me is to also have the quality if the piece go up so I hold back on that for the past two months to learn some new tricks and doing lineart again and a lot of people seem to take notice as I'm getting more favs and likes in general across the sites I use. The tips I have been getting from commissions are also really helpful to cover for the growing cost and I very thankful for those.
Now that I am more confident about the quality, the price will be going up starting with July when a new sheet is uploaded. The overall price will be expected to go up by about 20-25% in general especially for bust/waistdown piece with a background.
For those who missed their change to get a piece this month as the slots have now been filled. Depending on how fast I am able to get pieces done, I will be able to squeeze in a few extra slots (expected is 1 extra slot for every 2-3 finished piece from the queue slots) until the final date is reached so keep a look out for that when I upload a recently finished comm piece.
