My current job (horticulture) is seasonal and I am now off work until further notice. That means I will be able to focus more heavily on my commission queue. I'll list it again here....I know most of the people on this list have probably forgotten they've sign up, but I will still offer each their spot if they should want it as soon as I can.

1. Rana
2. Rabbit Fangs
3. William
4. Addylad
5. Shaun Reveal
6. Ryan Freres
7. Christian Stelse
8. Wraeth Nytes
9. Kai Kauske
10. Dragoneer
11. Tach0012

Now, if you see your name here and you're no longer interested for any reason, I'd really appreciate you letting me know; it would save me the trouble of trying to contact you when your name comes up. You can still sign up at a future opening if you want to.

As for how long it will take me to get to you, that's the frustrating bit, I have no idea. It depends on whether or not anyone cancels and what those who do want their commissions decide to get. In addition, my employer was not able to give me a start date for next season, so I don't know how long I'll be unemployed. It might be a few weeks, it could be more than a month.

However....because of reasons I won't go into, it looks like we'll all be restricted to part-time when I go back to work, and that may last the entirety of 2013 (again, no one knows anything for sure). For as long as I'm working part-time, I will also be picking away at my list (as opposed to stopping commissions outright like I had originally planned). So I will likely get through this list and be able to open for new commissions sooner than I had previously thought.

If you are interested in getting a commission in the future, please note the changes I will have to make to accommodate my odd availability before I open again. (These DO NOT apply to the 11 people above....you should continue to use the rules and prices currently listed on www.duoradon.com).

1. Pricing changes.....it won't be a drastic hike, but most of my prices will increase somewhat before I open again.

2. I will start taking commission orders one at a time as opposed to making a queue. So: open commissions, take the first person to speak up, fill that order, then open for another, etc. Work will begin immediately, you won't be signing up to wait for your commission.

3. The time frame for submitting descriptions and payment will shorten. Instead of one month, a person who claims a commission spot will have 15 days to submit full description and payment or they forfeit their spot. Payments of $200 or less will be required up front, anything more than that can be paid 50% up front - 50% upon completion of sketches.

4. I will increase the price limit to accommodate the increase in rate, but each client will be restricted to one project per session. You may still order up to 6 comic pages, for example, but it must be for one continuous story, not 3 pages for comic A and 3 for comic B. So, one write-up only. The only exception: I will still accommodate up to 6 separate character studies with no backgrounds, but you should submit your descriptions for all characters in one e-mail, please.

If you have any questions, please feel free to voice them! Thanks, enjoy your Shamrock Shakes :)

When will there be more of this?

A word about my commissions: I get a lot of similar questions about the pictures I post here and on my site; people ask if I'm going to continue a certain comic series or take the project from line art to color in the near future. Please, read the description of the image; if it's listed as a "commission", that means someone paid me to draw it for them. I personally had nothing to do with the characters or what's happing in the picture/comic, I just drew what was described for me. If the person paid for 3 comic pages, we did 3. If they paid for line art only, that's what I did for them. I'm truly flattered that folks are so keen on these pieces, but it's not up to me in any way to make more for the set or scenario. If there is to be more added to a project, it's up to the person who bought it to commission more.

And in regard to making additions as a request instead of a commission, I regret that my financial situation will not allow me to take requests at this time. I can't even get my own projects done right now.
