**FAST ANIMATED COMMISSIONS** - Any takers?
12 years ago
So here's the deal...
I have recently adjusted my schedule so that I will be working on Beast's Fury 3 days a week. The rest of the week will be spent trying to earn additional money or to further my career as an animator in other ways.
This means I will be FINALLY resuming work on those few commissions I still have.
**HOWEVER**
I am in a bit of a financial squeeze right now and need some money fast. Unfortunately, PayPal - my usual method of payment - takes 3-4 business days to transfer to my bank account. The only methods of payment that are fast enough for my current needs are Chase Bank's Quickpay (takes 2-3 days to enroll), or Bitcoin (instant transfer but 1-2 days to get to my bank account, from Coinbase), or Western Union transfer.
So, my question is this:
Would anyone out there be willing / able to pay up front for an animated commission, today or tomorrow morning, using either Bitcoin or Chase QuickPay, or Western Union? I will add you to my commissions list on my FA page and will be working through that list starting this week. Each animation will probably take a couple of weeks to do, on average.
The commissions can be pretty much anything. Just remember that frame-by-frame animation gets expensive quickly.
Here are some examples:
$40 - Blinking face icon. Fully colored and shaded.
$60 - Simple 1/2-second loop, head and shoulders. Flat colors.
$80 - Simple 1/2-second loop, waist up. Flat colors.
$180 - Full body walk cycle. Flat colors.
Alternatively, I can offer a price quote if you have something else in mind. Check out
Daggerocha as well - she is also looking for some quick commission money. So what do you think?
[ To pay using Chase QuickPay, you would need to enroll in the service using a U.S. bank account and an e-mail address, using the link below. ]

[ To send money through Western Union, I don't think you need an account. Just visit their website: http://www.westernunion.com/Home ]
[ To pay using Bitcoin, it would help if you already have some Bitcoins or are set up with an online wallet service. If not, you can set up with Coinbase.com, although you would have to do the instant account verification in order to get the payment to me in time! ]

Tame fetish material okay? >.>
It does not have much in the way of protections and should only be used with people you can trust, but Juco almost certainly fits the bill. :)
Take a look and see if it will work for the two of you. Good luck!
Also, if you're still willing to enroll in QuickPay, it may be worth the wait because payments through that service are instant. The only risk is that I need some money preferably before Wednesday, so if it takes 2 days to enroll then we're good, but 3 days might be too long. Since it apparently takes "2-3 days," it's a bit of a gamble. :/
In any case, let me know if you want to give it a shot!
I crunched the numbers using my latest price model. ... Due to how much time a commission like that one takes, and my effort to make a living with these commissions, unfortunately I don't think many people will be able to afford such lengthy and detailed commissions in the future. That particular commission is 12 seconds long, so even if I cut the price down on behalf of all the holds in the animation, it would still cost well over a thousand dollars. :/
However, it could be a shorter commission with less drawing required, and flat colors instead of shading, etc. ... there are many ways to bring the price down dramatically.
I may even set up an alternative price model that is based on the number of poses that a character strikes, rather than the number of seconds in the animation...
I actually found how many hours that commission took and it's not as bad as I thought. Something like that would actually cost around $450.
