On commissions (PLEASE READ)
16 years ago
It's true. I am going to be very honest in this journal so if you hate me afterwards, it's fine with me.
What's up?
So, I was sorting through old art folders yesterday, and came across some pretty old art commissions. Like, 2005 at the earliest. These should have been shipped years ago, but along the way, somehow they didn't. I even found the lineart of WIP commissions that I thought I'd finished years ago, including some for Celest and Tassimet. I think I was waiting on a response from Tassie, but eventually I must have given up.
I think being in university, as well as the health problems I had over the last few years has left me unorganized and generally, a bad artist. I'm terribly sorry for all who have been waiting years on commissions and trades, I feel so bad about it. This year has not been particularly good either; I had an operation on my wrist that took months to heal, and prior to that, I was in a lot of pain whenever I drew something.
It still aches, but not as bad as it used to. So I'm slowly coming to be able to complete commissions faster, I'm just so sorry about the terrible delays. I know I have badges to send out, too. Some badges were damaged in the laminator, and I neglected to tell the commissioners, which is extremely unprofessional of me. Those people will be contacted and given new badges, either replicas or new ones altogether. All badges in the future will be digital as my laminator does indeed like to eat them.
Can I get a refund?
In short, not right now.
I am currently jobless, and the benefits I am on are not enough to refund everybody. If you are willing to wait until I do have the money, please let me know via email (at the bottom of this post).
Can I get an exchange?
Yes.
If you have been waiting for a while on art that has been partially finished, I am willing to complete the existing artwork, and provide you with an additional commission. I request that the commissioner states a deadline for this second piece (a month minimum is prefered, but if you'd like it sooner, that's fine) and I'll do my best to meet it.
The compensation commission will be a downgrade from the completed commission, so if you are waiting on a badge, you'd get a sketch. If you were waiting on a two character full colour commission, you'd get a one character flat coloured commission.
You will recieve the original artwork too.
If you want the original artwork replaced completely, that's fine. See below about traditional commissions. In this case, the commission will be upgraded. If it cannot be upgraded any further, a sketch or badge will be offered. (generally one character)
My artwork was traditional. What happens now?
I do not currently have the art supplies to complete traditional commissions due to costs. Instead, I can offer the following:
- I can redraw the entire commission and colour it digitally.
- I can ink it traditionally, scan and colour it, and you will receive the original lineart.
Everything about the 'compensation' art applies to traditional, but sketches/badges etc will be digital.
When will I be sent my (already completed) commission, then?
I am going to try and budget £20-30 a month or so from my benefits, and use that as postal costs. The artwork will be sent in no particular order, but the receiver will be contacted about a week before I send out.
I have a commission slot with you, but I haven't paid yet. What do I do?
I ask that you cancel the commission for the time being due to the wait. When I next open slots, you are welcome to contact me with a reminder.
I haven't heard anything about my commission for months/years... Will you still do it?
Of course! I don't intend to rip anyone off, here. I've just had a bit of a ride with life. In any case, please contact me via email with a reminder of what you asked for, and I'll do my best.
I hate you.
:D
Do you plan on taking commissions again soon?
Not untill Confuzzled 2010.
Before then, I want to completely clear my current cache. I aim to become better with my time, and take commissions for month slots, not all at once. I also will not allow clients to pay me up front, in case I have a problem with the commisson/anything else.
Do you do art trades/requests?
Sometimes, but definitely not right now.
