Hello Sugas,

Today I am going to discuss a significant change in my commission prices. After doing said commissions and building enough confidence in my artwork (which I need to post something, even if it's WIP), I have decided to change my commission prices to fit my skill style.


The reason why I am doing this is, of course, what I just said previously, I built up enough confidence to charge more.

Another reason is for financial reasons. I need to start earning more as an artist so I do not depend on other income in the future, so this is a way to slowly increment the price so I can make a living and not rely on my family for help so often.

Those are the main reasons I am raising the price of my commissions, adding to the reason for the rise in the cost of necessities.

It took a while to figure out how I would implement this price change, but with the advice and help of friend @@psudodrake, here is what we came up with.

Sketches for now on will be $20

Then add an increment of $10 for each segment, like lining, coloring, and shading.

So let's say you want a sketch then lining that is $20+10= $30

Or coloring that is $20+10+10= $40

Shading same thing $20+10+10+10= $50

And that is how it's going to work.

Adding in another character is still $5, and of course, logo design is still $10-$15 depending on the complexity of the logo though I may end up changing that to a per-hour method. That will probably be something that I will do for graphic design freelancing and such.

Now I know, looking at that $50 price tag for shading, as some of you are looking nervously at your wallets/purses (because I am an equal opportunity Mutha Effa XD), but please understand as time moves on, I have to adapt and change to survive. Also, this price change gives everyone more options to pick and choose because, let's say, you have a sketch already from another artist, and all you need is lining and coloring. So you can pay the $20 amount that it would cost to get that done and vice versa.

This is a big step for me; I worry I am asking too much for something, mainly due to my anxiety and low confidence, which is primarily why my prices were low before. If this puts you off from commissioning me again, I can understand, but for those willing to still commission me after this price, I give you my thanks and hope to work with you.

I will work on a document discussing the price changes and adding another social media platform for you guys to find me for commissions.

Until then, this Durg will see all of you later, Sugas.
