Upcoming price changes! Balance Patch + New Stuff!
2 years ago
Please note, this was much easier to organize and display on DA thanks to its more WYSIWYG style journal editor, so feel free to view this journal there if you'd like to have all the visuals and easy access to hyperlinks within the post itself. Anything I reference here can be found on my Carrd, anyway.

Otherwise, this at least gets the point across with text if for whatever reason you don't want to go there:
Going to be doing some much needed adjusting of prices as my skill has improved, along with adding/ removing some commission types. As always, my prices and product availability will continue to be subject to change as the market and my skill level adjust. In addition, given the advent of AI tools, I have to consider and factor that as an option for buyers if they so choose, especially since it's proven helpful to the artist workflow, if utilized properly.
Some commission types are being committed to patreon / subscription rewards exclusively, and some are available at a reduced price to supporters. I have also made note of these as well in this list!
This makes some of my Patreon / Subscription rewards an absolute steal right now, (Primarily 💜Standard and 🗝️Master) so before I adjust those, now might be a good time to take up on them. I like to give an entire month's warning in advance if I can for supporter reward changes. Those will be listed in a post here on DA and Patreon once I do finally get to figuring how I will balance those out. Especially as DA's sub USD limit is 100, I'll have to work out alternative rewards to be fair to myself on the cost. Likewise, I intend to try and spend today adding similar tiered rewards to my Ko-fi.
I also know this might be a bit sudden were I to roll out the price changes immediately, and despite mentioning that my prices may increase (mostly on Twitter) I do know my multi-platform management has been...iffy at best, so I am giving a two week window before the prices come into place. So if you want to purchase things at the present prices, feel free to contact me.
You can check my DA commission prices here, or if you'd prefer to pay with the money straight and not points, my carrd list my prices, which will be updated on the date of 5/12/23. (Friday, May 12th, 2023)
So before we get into all the numbers and maths and nitty gritty, I want to thank all of you who have supported me through the years, whether it involved money or not. Spreading my art, enjoying it, letting me KNOW you enjoy it, all of it matters and makes the process worth it to me. However you decide to support me, I just hope you continue to. I've been on a long journey to discover my own self worth and appreciate/ respect myself and what I do, and you all have been absolutely paramount to that.
Symbol key (for nerds)
Going forward I'll use this key to note changes whenever they occur, so you all know how things have adjusted from prior patches.

🆕AI Options:
Entirely at buyer's choice whether to allow utilization of AI tools or not.
If allowing for utilization of AI in workflow, this may reduce prices, as it helps speed up the process for me.
Circumstances for usage include pose and background assistance, or quality filter for an already near-end product of my own work.
If elected for, the buyer will also receive any iterations of my work altered with or tested with AI tools throughout the process.
I do not, nor will I ever, sell or claim exclusively AI generated work as my own or sell a product without a greater majority lean toward artistic merit involved.
I also will respect character owner's and buyer's view on the topic and will not utilize AI tools if they are not desired.
For Deviantart posting purposes, it's helpful if you communicate to me whether you want the art to be included in AI datasets or not. However, I default to them NOT being included.
