Commission Update Announcement
3 years ago
General
Hello, everyone! I am announcing several changes for commission options and prices.
With the current commission prices, I’m having a difficult time supporting both myself and my partner. I’ve held off on bringing this up, because I wanted to see how people would respond to me working with someone to improve my art. But it seems people really like the work we’ve been putting out, so here we are. I am currently working with
Corgibro on commissions, and it’s been much easier splitting the work for a commission between the both of us.
However, things cost money -- as I’m sure you know -- and saving up while also needing money for everyday things is worse. The reality is that current prices don’t support me in the ways that I need them to. I’m not even making minimum wage by the standards of the state I live in, and that’s just for one person.
Before I announce the new prices, let me explain the changes in options.
#1 I am removing Sticker Packs from the list. It’s too time consuming and I’m having trouble figuring out how to price them and space out the work. When and IF I figure out a way around these issues, I WILL LET YOU KNOW. No questions like “When are you bringing them back?” and “Have you figured out the stickers problem yet?”.
#2 I am adding in Sketch-missions (like with the sketch-o-thons, outline with base coloring, no shading, no highlights and minimal backgrounds). For a while now I’ve been noticing that people don’t really care one way or another if their pictures have shading, highlights and backgrounds, so I’ve decided to just give them the option. It’s something simpler and low effort so I can get more work done in a day with two of these instead of one normal commission.
#3 There will be no price difference between SFW and NSFW art. Self-explanatory.
#4 Payment in installations is acceptable. In exchange, the commissions for those customers will be bottom tier (worked on last)
And now for the prices.
Sketch-Mission - $50 for a single drawing with three characters or fewer. Like I’ve said above, no shading, no highlights and minimal background. Additional characters will cost $30 each.
Full Commission - $100 for a single drawing with three characters or fewer. You get shading, highlights and a detailed background. Additional characters will cost $20 each.
I understand if some of you are upset by the price increases, but my partner and I both treat commissions like an average job. We have it as a rule to get pictures done the day they are due and (with few exceptions) we don’t delay the work. We need this money for doctors’ appointments, car insurance and paying bills same as anyone working a 9 to 5 job. We both hope that you understand where we’re coming from.
P.S. We are giving you all our assurances that we won’t be raising prices again for at least a year. We have to feel out how the current prices will work for us, but for the time being this seems to be good.

What's the maximum of characters you can draw in one commission?
Sweet!
Good luck and I’ll have to comm you again with a group sometime soon
I'll still commission you Benny as best as I can as you are one of my favorite artists, plus I do have plenty of ideas that I see you fit them way better while at the same time one at a time. Heh. X3
Best of luck to you both.
Also, Happy Birthday to you
