2026 Price Increase
a week ago
General
With 2026 creeping closer every day, now is as good a time as any to warn everyone that my prices will be going up next year. This will be a big one, and not just because of inflation. Primarily, my prices have stayed stagnant for a few years now, while my art has become more detailed; creating art now takes more time than the old estimates account for. It's come to the point where I'm finding myself caught between undervaluing my time and having to rush parts of my process, neither of which I want to do.
To help offset this, I will be adding a rough flat-coloured sketch option to the commission pricelist to make coloured art more accessible, and have merged or removed some of the more expensive, unpopular commission types. The design packages have also been simplified in a way that allows for more freedom.
These changes will take effect on Jan 1, 2026. If you are interested in commissioning me in the near future, you have until then to ask for commission estimates at the current prices. There is no pressure to commit if you voice your interest; estimates will simply expire on Feb 1, 2026 if not paid for. I will be sending anyone who asked for an estimate reminders before important changes take effect, but you can choose not to go through with the commission at any time.
NOTE: I will be returning to unemployment insurance in the new year; due to this, unpaid DISCOUNTED commission estimates (YCH: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/50960566/ , design packages: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/50870065/ , custom designs, holiday commissions: https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/11254269 , etc.) will not be valid after Dec 31, and will be replaced with their associated 2025 general prices until they expire on Feb 1. I will do my best to mention this ahead of time where applicable, when giving you your estimates.
Base adoptable prices will also be going up in 2026 (new adoptables only), as will most adoptable upgrade prices (all applicable adoptables). If you buy a lot of adoptables from me, consider becoming a subscriber at the adopter or shopper tier to make the most of the associated adoptable discounts.
