Upcoming TOS and price list updates
2 months ago
Hello everyone!
My summer turned out to be too active, I still have issues with my renovation and moving out, but I try my best to keep up with commissions etc!
However, in these endless activities I have right now I realized I need some updates, but not only in prices but in my TOS. It's not an official outshot for the updates, just a draft.
I will have prices changed.
It won't be dramatic, but I feel like having old price list for more than 2 years is not very cool, I've improved my skills...
Sketches:
Headshot: $20 (no change)
Halfbody: $45
Fullbody: $60
Line + colour:
Headshot: $35
Halfbody: $65+
Fullbody: $85+
I will add fullrender pieces which will include background and extra polishing.
Halfbody: $85+
Fullbody: $120+
Chibi are not popular, but small will be $30, prices for big chibi won't change.
TOS updates
Well, they won't be dramatic as well, but I feel I need extra clarifications:
— Private commissions will be 30% extra;
— Custom designs will be at least 20% extra;
— All my sketches will be wing-its unless you personally ask for updates;
— I may enlarge my deadlines. Even though I still tend to draw rather quickly, I feel like I may need a bit more time, but you'll be informed anyway. My TAT won't be more than 2 months.
The most important thing is I won't work with unclear requests!
Sometimes I accept "artistic freedom customs", but I understood I don't enjoy draging all the details, requests and reference pictures. I don't mind using artistic freedom, with some of my commissioners I can feel what they need because of long time working together, but anyway.
I won't accept commission description which is vague and doesn't have enough clarification or reference pictures.
Clear examples of a commission request:
– I want this character drawn. A sketch halfbody of him yawning and stretching with his arm up and teeth seen well;
– I'd like to commissiona custom design of an elf in a flower armour. The character is non-binary, but looks rather feminine. They have long blond hair with a couple of little braids with flowers, a shield that looks like a big red rose, a short sword with a flower emblem on it's handle and a light armour. I don't really have specific request for the colours, but I'd prefer the palette to be light and pastel, but without pink! Slightly tanned skin, bright blue eyes, couple of earrings and flower tattoos on their face and neck.
I don't mind having less details, but please try your best to collect all the details and visual references! If you're commissioning me with a dog, please show me a reference! If you request an art for a character with several references ("The should be a Husky dog like this, body build like this, with clothes from this image and with eyes like this"), it will be a custom! It will cost extra unless it's just a clear art of a character with small updates (hair colour or clothes change, but the last point depends on the difficulty of the design). Just please don't make me lost in unclear details and lots of info!
Please remember that I don't mind a discussion! If you're unsure about something, we can make all the things clear together. However, the process shouldn't be weeks of discussion, that's not my tempo for work. The clearer the request, the better the result! And I still understand there can be lots of issues with what you'd like to see, I FEEL IT TOO, but let's just make the process easier for both of us! I luv u all, don't forget <3
Payment plans
I can make a payment plan for commissioners I fully trust, but it's not a common practive for me. I won't make payment plans for art less than $200, so please keep it in mind.
I also DO NOT accept payment BEFORE I have full understanding of what I'm supposed to work with. NEVER I WILL ACCEPT PAYMENT UNLESS I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO COMMISSION!
I mostly don't make refunds due to technical issues, but I don't want to get into troubles with anyone wanting a refund after they realized they don't know what to commission from me. I may also refuse to work with you further on if there are payment issues like "I-will-pay-tomorrows" without further payment. I don't tolerate fake commission requests, spam and trolling. I respect your time, but please respect mine too.
Anyway, I am a person who don't mind communication. If you have questions or troubles, please tell me about it. I may be anxious, unpleased or even angry if you refuse to pay for the comm we've been discussing, but I will get calm and I will understand if we're both sincere. I know life can be tough, I know how issues and troubles appear when you're not prepared for them, so it's better to be honest. I'll appreciate it. Everything can be discussed and I'm ready to communicate, that's the most important point.
Thank you so much for being with me! This journal turned out to be loooong, but I don't insist on you reading it all. When I officially add all missing parts to my TOS and price list (as both need to be rechecked), I'll let you know with another journal.
Please stay safe!
