Thinking about Opening up YCHs Commissions
2 years ago
Hey so yeah, I'm mostly doing this to see an interest check. I've been thinking about opening up for commissions and YCHs, probably starting with YCHs and possibly moving onto commissions later.
With the way I made my art (With just about everything you can think of on a separate layer/folder) I could easily turn a lot of my previous stuff I made into YCHs if anyone would be interested in that. If I see people are interested. I could even turn some of my animations into YCHs though those would probably be priced more than other stuff but depends a lot on the animation, more on that later.
If I do YCHs I plan to make them multi-autobought (I think that's the correct terminology? Basically you just pay straight up for the YCH and multiple people can get it, no bidding.) YCHs as I've never liked bidding for YCH slots even though now as an artist I understand the appeal if you just want a character to draw and don't want to make one up on the spot. Perhaps I'll try those later but for now if there's interest I'll probably just do the non-bidding ones.
Speaking of which if you are interested please suggest prices! I definitely wanna start low as I haven't ever done commissions/YCHs before and I don't think my artwork is of the highest quality though if I ever do animations I will definitely charge a lot more than still images. Right now I'm thinking ~$5-$20 (USD) depending on the YCH, complexity of character and pose, and other factors. With Animations having a much higher range of $20-$40 depending on the animation for YCHs. I have no idea what I would price full on commissions but I would probably make a spreadsheet of various things to determine that if there's interest later on.
Lastly I would need to be paid with paypal as that's the only uh... paying service I have. Though I guess I could accept steam wallet $s (Since that's apparently a thing now and god knows I'll inevitably spend it!) But would prefer paypal for obvious reasons. I was thinking about allowing both but maybe adding a tax for the steam version later if I get too many payments via it. I'd also only want to get paid once I actually finish the art to not put stress on me to finish it and because I know it is way too easy to get scammed like that and I'm not exactly trustworthy yet as this would be my first time opening commissions. Once it is finished I'll probably just watermark it and ask for the money and once sent I'll just remove the watermark and make any changes you may want. Note that for Commissions later I'd also probably send you the sketches (though my sketches look kinda nasty not going to lie) and the pre-shading/lighting pictures to get any changes you may want before I finalize coloring. But again that is later on if I open up for Commissions too. And once again I'm asking for your thoughts on the matter.
And thanks for reading this and showing interest! It means a lot! Feel free to let me know about any concerns, thoughts, or even ideas you'll have about this.

Absolutely love your Game Over stuff! YCHs seem a good way to keep things simple and PayPal is good with most people. I'd be interested in commissioning/YCHs and I agree that bidding sucks.
