Commissions and prints and older pics (new)

General
OK, I think I'm pretty much up to speed again. I've posted some of the practice attempts and I have another for tomorrow.
So, I've contacted a few people that had paged me before about this stuff. But I'm mentioning it here now.
Here's the current "rules":
(1) There's no "list" beyond 1-3 accepted at a time. More than that and its a chore and nothing gets done.
(2) Selection is based to some degree on (a) order in which I'm contacted, (b) if I may owe something to you, or © the ease of the project. Ease of project is pretty important. I'm not charging a lot here, so if one is 3X easier than the others, guess what.
(3) Prices went up $5 at least. I still think I'm on the low side though. Its not because I figure I got better, but because I could always think up other things to do with the time. Other things to sketch too. :) If you want the original mailed, that's a few bucks more.
(4) Will consider trades. I tend to default to getting the cash so I can get that orcaotter head. Still, there are some folks I will gladly trade with.
(5) Payment due upon completion and before send of the final scan. I do this so nobody is stiffed money, but I HAVE BEEN STIFFED to the tune of about $300 over the years. I keep all E-mails until the work is done. I WILL be very angry if stiffed again. I go out of my way not to do it to others, so I expect similar respect. Any work that isn't paid for will NOT see the light of day, so you're not going to get a freebie!
NOTE: You can page me here, but I'd prefer going through E-mail at Terminotaur[at]gmail.com especially for the details. If you want to just give a short run down of things and ask if I'll take it you can page here, but I'll just ask you to re-send it to the E-mail if I take it.
Prints: If there's something you see here that you like, chances are I have a high-res scan and can do a quality print for you (high end inkjet on quality matte or glossy paper). those are $7 each. get three and there's no cost to ship it (otherwise its about $4).
Old Originals: If there's an old picture I've done that wasn't sold at auction or otherwise out of my hands I will consider selling it. Depends which we're talking about but $10-$20 is the probable range.
There, that should cover just about everything. :)

That being said, if we're all settled now, I would certainly enjoy commissioning you again in the near future!
When things settle down for you there then can maybe consider it. I know you've more than a few things to deal with, unless I missed an LJ somewhere.
