IMPORTANT CHANGE FOR 2024
2 years ago
Hello everyone!! Hope you all are doing great!!
Well, this journal is to let everyone know about a change Ill be implementing starting 2024, and that is that in my commissions backgrounds wont be included anymore. I know you are wondering why, so let me give you a little explanation why this change.
The main reason to do this is because my current prices no longer pay me the time I take to do the commissions. I have been having a lot of issues this past months to meet my economical goal each month and having to work extra hours and taking extra slots to get it. AFter careful consideration of why this was happening I noticed that the backgrounds requested are no longer as simple as they used to be some years ago, and they have escalated in difficulty, and even when I know how to do them because some are backgrounds commonly requested, the time they take is still at least a couple of hours of work for each commission. So I gave it a thought and first I was inclined to increase my prices, but then I considered that maybe some people dont want backgrounds and increasing the price for them wouldnt be fair, so the solution I came up with was to remove the backgrounds from my base prices to keep them without raise and only charge the backgrounds when the commissioner wants one on their commission.
So, from now on, all backgrounds will be charged extra. Their price range will go from $15 to $60 depending on difficulty, media and time needed to do them additional to the commission price. If you dont request a background for your commission, it will be delivered in either blank bg or a flat color/gradient of my choice.
Base prices will remain as they are now, same as qualities.
Thank you all for all the support you have given me, and I sincerely hope I can keep counting on it and working with you all this following years!! X3
Sincerely yours,
Shana

Thanks for letting us know. It took a few reads on my end to process but this shouldn't be a problem. It will require me to think and consider a bit more which will be a good challenge for backgrounds moving forward.
