Commission responsibly!

He~eey!
I'll open commissions again in a couple days and I just wanted to give out some advice for potential costumers and friends.
First, I don't want you to break the bank to get a piece from me, or from anyone else for that matter lol. My prices are affordable, yet I've had a couple people commission me and later have to deal with and unexpected and more urgent expense. I'll take some responsibility if I take too long to charge for a piece and your financial situation changes, but as a general rule you should always have a hefty reserve for emergencies, especially if you have a good enough income to afford commissions regularly. This is just good financial advice for anyone really.
The second is a bit of a pet peeve of mine, and other artists might think differently.
I love when clients get to the point. If you just wanna know how my day's been, I'll be happy to answer. But if you have a business inquiry, an idea for a future or ongoing piece, or you just want a wip from your current com, just get that out of the way first. It's not rude, it's efficient!
