~New Commission Style~
13 years ago
After much deliberation... I've decided to stop doing tier commissions.
You know, the 'pay this much for a sketch, this much for colored, etc.'
People like to underestimate how much goes into my art, and I feel I'm either charging FAR too much(like for sketches), or FAR too little(like for fully colored work). The price discrepency really throws me off. My sketches should not cost nearly half of what my colored ones do, and my fully colored ones are definitely more than three times the work of my sketches.
I am still working on older trades and commissions(because I am slow as cold molasses until I actually start something), but I think everyone should know. I will now be charging just $10 per hour spent on art. Other artists do the same things, and I'll have similar policies.
-Fixes don't count toward the time
-After the first hour, I will show you the art, and you have the opportunity to request changes before I go for the rest of the alloted time(this will be changed later if I find that sketches generally take me less than an hour)
-Upon completion, you will be given another chance to request changes.
-You get two changes for both stages, and if you have any more fixes after those four, you will be paying $10 per change, regardless of time taken on them.
-Prices don't change if it is fullbody/bust/etc, though if it's a bust or headshot and I complete it before time is up, you will be refunded for the hours not used
With things this way, I feel like it will open more opportunities for people with less money to at least get sketches from me, and it will also allow for me to get paid something closer to what I'll need for living and stuff. For anyone whose had an offer for something of a lower price, that offer still stands, but for future purchases, this will be it.
Prices subject to change in the future.
TLDR;
-If you want to buy art from me, it will now be $10/hour

Ten dollars an hour isn't even that much anymore. You start living good at about $12 an hour. XD
