Thinking about doing Commissions Again
3 years ago
Many of you may know that in 2020 I stopped doing commissions entirely. There were a number of reasons for that, but mostly because I found it stressful.
Most of that stress stemmed from feeling like I wasn't creating fast enough and added onto that was how little I was getting paid vs how much time I put into each piece.
I tried to be okay with it, as it was a sort of hobby/side income to my full time job at the time. But it came to a head eventually and I finally decided that I'd just stop for the foreseeable future.
It's been about two and a half years now since I stopped taking commissions and instead simply create what I want, when I want. And that's *great*! I still plan on that being the majority of how I work.
But, I've been tossing around the idea of taking commissions now and then in the future. I've discussed pricing with a friend and I think we've hashed something out that 100% will be more fair with the amount of time and effort I put into my work (and especially people's commissions)
On top of that, I am considering starting to do adopts once more. I get an itch to create them now and then and I miss doing it.
So, keep your eyes peeled for future openings. C:
