1)Commissions
I just want to be an animator but I don't know how to work flash. I just spend most my time on a DS drawing at a pixel level. I made a few Icons for a friend, and people liked them. So at some point I thought it'd be nice to start commissioning.
You can ask about other kinds of works but icons and animations are my main jig. The usual size dimensions I work with are 100x100 or 50x50 but I can work with other sizes, a DS screen is 192 by 256 and computers have Flash.
If someone were to decide they'd want me to make an animation for them, they'd best have an idea of what they want. My first 3 commissions were dragons eating foods, and there was a lot of variance in length/subject. They also took a month or so before I settled on an idea mysel2 then 2 months more actually animating it. Just have an idea of what you want okay?
2) Pricing:
The rate is about 800pxl/$1 for still images. Animations double the price of the still icon's dimension but past that there's nothing extra. This'll probably change in the future depending on how it goes.
What if people want a recolor of my previous work? The price is half that of the original piece plus the number of details they want added. How much each extra detail costs depends on how animated it is. Generally, the price would be $0.50-1.00 for a detail that only needs to be drawn once as opposed to $3-5 for a detail that would require significant work. The range accounts for the size of the detail, it's a lot easier to give give a dragon hair than to change it into a dragon bear...sometimes.
In a more list format:
100x100: $12.50
50x50: $3.25
XxY: $(X*Y/800)
*Animations doubles the price
**Recolors are half the price of the original
3)Morals and Ethics
When I'm finished with a commission if the commissioner says no recolors I won't do them. If people want to recolor my work, I encourage them to try. Seeing how most of the time when people do try to recolor my work, it's pretty hilarious. Whatever, it's also free, so why not?
I don't draw things that are neither cute nor cool, or so they say. This will probably get filled more as time goes on but whatever, I'll say if somethings gross or not.
4)Jobs list
Since I finished with RaveRaptor's work, I have nothing except 1 recolor. So feel ask if you want one.

You got the right idea on the ideas though. the ideas on what actions to do are the toughest thing about these.
I was just making sure I was good for a slot before I sent a note with details and such, i do appreciate that you took time out to see what my character looked like and all, sorry I didnt go about it right XD
I liked the idea of getting a animation like the old cake factory type animation http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6582343/
but if your feeling up to it I'd absolutely love an action animation, swinging around a Bo staff, maybe with a taunt thrown in there , heres this if it inspires you with anything: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVw29NrEX3A
if none of those appeal perhaps spirit fingers will work XD
The cake factory would be the fastest(and cheapest) but the Bo staff one would probably be one of those 3 months deals.
Also how'd one be able to use that stick with wings? It might be tough with those things there but you might get some specific moves you could only do with them. I dunno, but this one sounds fun.
Jazz hands is so easy, I might just do that so that I can understand your character more.
How much would it be to get a recolor of http://a.facdn.net/preed.gif and add little wings to it? This is my character: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/12114997/
