Possible Changes w/ Commissions
2 years ago
General
Hello everyone!
So, lately I've been thinking about commissions and how I handle them, plus my art in general. I'm thinking of making some changes too. I'm still figuring things out, so nothing's final, but I'm open to feedback. So here's what I got planned:
(1) I'm shortening the options to simply sketch, inks, and flats instead of the additional option of half-body and full-body. And I'm sure every artist has to do this at some point, but I'm increasing the prices. Just by $5. So it'll be $25, $35, and $45 respectively. Not only because things are pretty expensive, but also to make the prices closer to the hourly wage in my area.
(2.) I created a Google Forms to hopefully make the process of buying a commission easier. I do know that sites like commiss.io exist, but I don't know if it's a popular option. I'm not sure if I want to make it mandatory, but it'd help quite a bit. The form will have an updated ToS. I really would like your thoughts on this.
(3.) To not overwhelm myself, I'm going to do commissions in smaller batches. My plan is to do a set amount and those outside of the batch won't be charged until I'm ready to work on it.
(4.) I'm making NSFW commissions an option. I've been debating on this for a while. Thing is, I don't mind doing NSFW stuff here and there. I wanted to stick to SFW commissions like some of my favorite artists, but I don't have the skill to pull that off just yet. And after talking with friends, it's clear NSFW art is in demand. So I'm going to give this a go and see what happens.
That being said, there are certain conditions. It's in the ToS, but the short version is that I'll only draw muscular male characters in NSFW stuff and on sites like Bluesky and Twitter, I won't be posting it on my main SFW accounts (@jtryuujin). I created a NSFW account on both sites and will post anything NSFW there. I would appreciate it that if you want to mention/show me anything NSFW(-ish) to do it only on that account, please.
The NSFW account's handle is swolegreenderg (Blue Sky/Twitter). I'll post both SFW and NSFW on my FA page still. It's just for sites outside of FA.
I think that's it. Hopefully things work out. I do need to put my nose to the grindstone if I want to keep getting better. Again, I'm open for feedback on this.
Take care!
