Yay! Something positive.

This is just a heads up, I'm down to 3 commissions that need completing. I'm working on Ninjapuppy's right now. The other two are pending confirmation that they still want the commission and the content.

So to for the next batch (I've learned my lessons from the first, gonna keep the batch sizes smaller)

Now this is important

I am not accepting new commissions right away

This is simply to give you guys a heads up about the new process, get some feed back about what you guys think and give you a heads up if you might want to commission me, but will need time to get funds together.

I will only take 4 commission spots per batch, doesn't matter what kind. Four and that's it. Once those are done, I'll either open up for more or take a break. This is of course, first come first serve basis.

Payment: Preferrably paypal, other options can be discussed (even if you didn't get into the current batch). Now if you are using paypal or some other form of instant payment option (please clear it with me first) you are -not- to pay me until I show you a sketch. No sooner, and preferrably within 24 hours. Why? Because it's a choice I've made, if life goes awry and I can't work on commissions, I don't want someone else's cash sitting in my pocket.

This is non negotiable, I've already had a few instances where people claim they paid when they got a spot for a commission, and lo and behold, they hadn't. Yes this opens me up to being ripped off, but the stage of art I will be showing you, will be watermarked. So you will see proof that I have started your project, you can make any corrections (this is not changes, only corrections) at that time, and this is when payment is expected, when I approach you with a preview of how things are coming.

What I will need from you:
Preferrably a referrence picture (in color, or with color samples)

Point form notes about character
-No ifs, ands or buts, if you get a spot, and only send me a large character description, and refuse to condense it down to the basic facts about your character, your spot will be FORFEIT.
I'm drawing for you, not reading your descriptions, I really don't want to have to go through your descriptions and figure out exactly how you intended things. I want simple facts, I don't muchly care for 'flowing silky skirts that shimmer in the sunlight'

Specifics about what you would like to be happening in the picture (else see below)


Other things:

Artistic freedom : I was very lenient on people who told me to have some freedom with their request, and then tell me it wasn't what they wanted, after I presented what I had spent time on already. If you use these two words, provide me with only a character description and no details of what you want the picture to be of (ie what's happening, what setting, when, etc etc) you will be approached for payment in full before work starts.

The difference between a Correction and a Change : As an improving artist, I will gladly make corrections to errors, these include anatomy, pose, actual discrepancy from provided referrence material. I will not make changes, if you decide after the fact, even before I approach you with the preview of your project, to change the content of your commission project drastically, you may very well be subject to paying in full up front, an additional surcharge, or being refused service, and potentially being denied future service.


Mind Reading Tax: I am not kidding, this is more so experience from collaborating, trades, and commissions. I can not read your minds, I will not be able to read in between the lines of what you're communicating to me via text. So please tell me any relevant details that may be implicit or not included. If you think of something after the fact, I've got MSN/AIM/ICQ and you can note me on FA, I will always appreciate information that makes my life easier and your money all the more well spent. But please, keep the above in mind about corrections/changes.

This is more so for situations where Jhonny Joe says he wants a commission of two characters, both herms, and he wants them fucking. He fails to tell me he has a preferrence of Herm A, doing Herm B doggy style, and tells me, after I've shown him a progress picture, that Herm B is actually riding Herm A cowboy style.

This is a flat rate of $10, this is as much as it is a deterrent to people being vague, as it is incentive for you people to tell me what you want. You're giving me YOUR money, I want to be sure you get something that makes you smile and appreciative. I want your money to be well spent, and yes, I do want you to come back and spend more money on me ^________^

The Mind Reading Tax (M.R.T.) is applicable at my discretion, non negotiable, and refusal to pay (Keep in mind I'm fairly relaxed and understanding, misunderstandings, miscommunications etc do happen. If it gets to the point where I'm slapping this on, you've either pissed me off, created a lot more work, or something unforseeable) will result in your commission being stopped and charged the appropriate price for the stage it's at, refusal to pay for the commission WILL result in denial of future commissions and I will publicly NAME AND SHAME you as such. This is incentive, I want to co-operate with you, not fight with you.

That about sums it up for amendments to the process o.O Sorry about the mini rants about particular things. I hope not to have to worry about the MRT, but if it comes up, you can't say I didn't warn you and give ample heads up. If you have any questions or feed back, give it to me! I want to make you people happy to spend money on me :3
