Commission Prices [UPDATE!]
2 years ago
Hey all,
Long story short: Commission prices have been increased due to high cost of living, and new lower priced sketch commission types are being offered.
I was planning to do this later on during the month of April, but after thinking things over I've decided to raise my commission prices now. For those of you who I've discussed future commissions with, I will honor the price at the time of discussion!
Stress has been getting to me lately with the rising cost of everything, medical bills piling up, tax season, school expenses, etc. I've also realized something important lately about my work. I've been beating myself up for a while wondering why it takes me so long to finish a single commission compared to how it used to be before I changed accounts/updated my art style. Stupid me realized it's because I do a painted art style now, which takes me muuuuuch longer to do than my old art style. Such an obvious reason, I dON'T KNOW how I didn't see it sooner. After talking to one of my close friends(who is also a freelance artist) about my work process and prices, we came to the conclusion that I make a whOPPING.......................................$2 per hour. Initially the big reveal made me laugh, but it made me realize that I need to raise my prices @v@
I may have raised my prices quite a bit, but I've also made the decision to add new commission types! I now offer sketch commissions, at a cheaper cost than my usual commissions! I offer headshots and full body sketches(uncolored), and flat colored sketches! I'm currently working on providing examples for the new commission types!
Again, I want to thank everyone who has been supporting me! You're all keeping me afloat during these tough times~

You shouldn't be cramming in too much work that you can't handle - Even though that's how you either make some cash on the side or if you want that as your main income, but at the same time, you gotta know your worth! We know you can't crank out a full painted commission in 2 days, and that's why we wait for you because you're the best at what you do c:
KEEP IT UP BIRB EVERY COMMISSION YOU MAKE ILL THROW EVERY DAMN DOLLAR TO SUPPORT YOU
