This way seems better ^^ kinda like wolfy-nail works

Oh, you mean THE most watched artist on all of FA? Yeah....yeah I think he has it down pat lol!

Sounds good to me

I'm sure this'll work out much better.

Wait lists just make things too much of a hassle. It's less anxiety for you as an artist as well. You don't need that added pressure.

Oh, nice! I've been wondering just how to commission you for ages now.

I can recommend Spiner as a commissioner! He's ace to work with. :B <3

Awww, shucks! Thanks, Lapres!

Heh.. Good on ya. Admittedly, I have seen some people on that list for sometime (me included). Hopefully this'll prove an easier process--Both for you, and future commissioners. Best of luck, and I'll keep an eye open for when that Journal pops up. ^^

Yeah i hated keeping people waiting, too, didn't seem fair. Even though no one paid, just having to be kept on hold is annoying.

Muuuuust commission 0 v 0

*Fires the money cannon* Pantsu cannon is being serviced. :B

Okay. I'm tickled at the idea of a panty cannon.

I want both? D:

good idea. Giving some breathing space for others without having to hit the refresh button to get the "first come, first serve" styled commission order journals XD

If it's not first come first serve, why not do it like some other artists do.

Get a bunch of willing clients, and then randomly pick which ones are chosen for the month. I know a few big-league artists doing that way. ^^

Okay, so...given that a form is filled out and sent to you via email while a commission entry journal is open, would you then be going through all the submitted commission ideas after said journal is closed and pick which ones (to a maximum of between 5-10 commisssions to take on, for example) appeal/interest you the most to draw (personal preference, etc.), or would you be picking the slots via a raffle drawing or other RNG (random number generator) method? I know that there are some artists out there in FA in which they pick ideas to draw based on personal appeal/interest out of the numerous ideas submitted, so I was just curious.

Appeal/interest, yeah. i find it brings out much better work

...I see.

I've got to be honest with you, that's a little discouraging to me personally, since I've been interested to get at least 1-2 commissions from you for some time now since the start of the year. I've been prepared with a couple of commission ideas w/details & refs to submit in the case of whenever slots open again...but now I'm a bit apprehensive in the chance that I'd get turned down because the idea and characters in mind don't appeal enough due to various factors (content/subject matter, species of character(s), action/situation, etc.).

Maybe what could help increase chances for people to be accepted for commission slots would be something like posting a chart/list of "likes/dislikes" regarding content you would draw in your art? Categories such as "What I like drawing most", "What I'm willing to draw", "What I won't draw", etc. For example,  mykiio has a few lists at the bottom of his profile page which detail his likes & dislikes for what he'll draw. Similar case with another artist,  marauder6272 , with his journal at http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/4317453/ , with types of content/subject matter that have a like/dislike "rating" next to them that determines whether he'll draw said content or not. Just an idea though.

I don't mean to say any of this to be disrespectful in any way, but if I've come off that way, I apologize. Whatever you decide to go with regarding how you'll go about taking on commissions, it's your decision in the end and I'll respect it.

I understand, I just think you're overthinking or over-worrying about it. It doesn't take much for me to like an idea, and really, it's more about the characters than the idea. If they're nicely designed and appeal to me, I like doing them more. I'm generally pretty easy to please, and i'm pretty vanilla in terms of likes/dislikes for subject matter. Yes to things like bondage, herms, cuckolding, tentacles...etc. and no to typical things like vore, scat, WS, cub...etc. I'll have a more descriptive list in the journals I make, but i really wouldn't worry about it; even if I don't pick an idea it doesn't mean I don't like it, I just sometimes get really too many good ideas and I simply can't do them all.

Fair enough, especially in regards to the vanilla in likes/dislikes of content and appeal of character design vs. idea(s). Understandable too if there are many good ideas, but not enough slots available to do them all. And a more descriptive list (to me at least) would certainly help clarify a few things relating to commissions.

Thank you for clearing up the concerns I had earlier, I do appreciate it! And I apologize once again...I'm kind of a detail-oriented person in general; when it comes to commissions especially, I get cautious in making sure that enough specifics are laid out that I understand what I'm getting for how much and how to go about it. ;^_^

Hmmm

I wannan draw red paendas

Acceptable. Yes.

it's nice to have the pick of the litter you should work faster.

The chance is still alive!~`

I have an excite!

Guess I am tardy on reading this Journal. Oh well.

It appears to me that Fluff has covered, in the journal comments, just about everything - except one...

It's not really clear to me what the reject process looks like to a Commissioner. I am assuming the Commissioner submits an idea and a week later he/she gets an email saying 'try again some other time'?

The acceptance process appears to be pretty straight forward.

Just lack of confirmation will constitute rejection. I would love to take more often than not, many ideas, but I just can't. It's easier to send out 5 acceptance letters than.. I dunno, 50 reject letters. i usually announce the current in the journal when chosen, and if you havent been contacted i'd just say try another time, yeah.
