Hourly Commission Rates
11 years ago
So I've been considering it for some time, but I'd like to get any feedback you guys might have regarding a switch from flat commission rates to hourly rates.
When I work on a single character coloured image it takes me between 6-10 hours on average. Regardless of the time and effort spent, I charge $20-$35.
If I were to switch to an hourly rate, I'd be fairly confident charging $10/hr (just above California minimum wage) - this would mean a sketch would be around $15, inks around $30, a coloured character around $60 (Please note that these are just estimates and subject to vary)
"Half-hour" charges would be decided at the quarter hour- i.e.: 1h > $10; 1h15m > $15; 1h45m > $20
I'm also inclined to start taking hourly commissions in streams (SOON!!) in which you can "rent" my stream and request anything you like to any amount or degree of polish within my abilities allowed by the time limit
Let me know what you guys think about this change as well as any suggestions you might have!

If a commission is taking significantly longer or shorter than the initial estimate, I'd be more than happy to discuss options with the commissioner, however the occurrence of this kind of situation should decrease as I gain a more accurate understanding of how long it takes me to complete various things.
