Updated Commission System
2 years ago
Hey guys, i'm making some changes to how my commissions will be working from now on.
(You can skip the next paragraph if you don't care about why I decided to do this)
Previously, I would accept a varying amount of commissions right at the beginning of each month. This system was ok, but there was a few problems; 1: Everything would be due at around the same time, which if I didn't manage my time well enough I would end up rushing to finish the last commissions 2: People who don't have spending money at the beginning of the month are just out of luck. And when they do, I'm already closed because I have a long list that needs to be done before a certain date. The new system allows me to accept new work anytime slots become available, and not just within a specific window. Due dates will also be a bit more spaced out and easier for me to manage. I may even be able to cut down the actual due dates a bit as well.

How will things work?
• There are 3 main sections in my queue (https://trello.com/b/QtGqyzs8), Waitlist, Paid and Working on. Each having a limited number of slots available (I may adjust these numbers if I feel the need to).
• When you send a commission inquiry, I will quote you the price.
• Upon agreement you are then added to the waitlist. (You are not expected to pay at this time)
• Waitlist commissions are treated as ACCEPTED. Meaning, when it is your turn I will be in contact with you and promptly be sending the invoice out, you will be expected to pay within the next 72 hours. (You are allowed to back out of the list at any time before paying, or ask to be moved down if you are not ready)
• Commissions are moved from one list to the next as slots become available (WAITLIST > PAID > WORKING ON).
NOTE: Waitlisted commissions are locked by the quoted price, if you want changes to your commission that will largely effect the price, your position will be reset to the bottom of the list. Likewise, if the change does not effect the price or does so very little you may maintain your position. Why this rule? If someone asks for a colored sketch, and then once they are at the top of the list they decided to change their idea completely to a complex scene with 5 characters, that just isn't fair.
