Opening for Commissions
10 years ago
What's this? Commissions from RANGER?!
Yeah, I know I've said I hated commissions a lot in the past and I've even tried and failed a few times to get myself into actually making some moolah off of my art. But after a little conversation with my awesome bud
Bane about what used to trouble me most about them, I feel like, especially with the big 2015 right around the corner, that I've grown up enough to be able to start taking commissions again and dealing with them in a more professional manner. There's nothing wrong with being a friendly artist for people to commission, but I've always felt like I'm too much of a softy, and the reason i lose motivation is because I'm too afraid to say No and end up getting caught in things I don't want to do. It's been since October 2012 since I last took commissions, but I think, at least to begin with, I'll be sticking with the pricing system I had back then. I'll also be limiting my available slots to help prevent myself from getting burnt out, and also changing my policy a little to help make sure I'm also getting some enjoyment out of each commission to make it a lot more worth it than just the money.
So then, with the pleasantries out of the way, let's get to the actual commissioning info!
~~ POLICY ~~
By commissioning me, you agree to the following commissioning policy. As the artist I hold the right to refuse or cancel a commission at any point for any reason. If I need to cancel the commission after payment has already been made, then the payment will be 100% refunded. If the commissioner decides to cancel the commission after payment has already been made, then I hold the right to only refund whatever portion of the payment covers the unfinished stage(s) of the picture (Example: A commissioner wishes to buy a Flat Color picture. Payment is made once the Sketch preliminary is approved, but the commissioner decides to cancel the commission before they have received the Ink preliminary. The commissioner will receive a refund minus the amount needed to cover the finished Sketch stage of the picture). Payment will not be accepted until at least the preliminary sketch has been completed and approved by the commissioner. A low-rez (Up to 1280x1280 pixels) preliminary example image will be provided for each "stage of completion" (Sketch, Ink and Flat color), and the commission will not be progressed to the next stage of completion until the latest preliminary stage has been approved by the commissioner. Upon completion of the commission, the commissioner will then receive a high-rez version of the commission (Up to 5000x5000 pixels).

~~ F.A.Q ~~
How can I ask for a commission?
FA Notes are the easiest way to get a hold of me, since I check them fairly frequently, and I can more easily keep track of them.
When should I pay you?
Once your commission has been sketched and you are okay with how it looks so far, I will ask for payment before continuing. I will not accept payment until the sketch has at least been approved and I am good to continue.
If I buy a commission, can I take another slot as soon as they are available again?
Only once all of my slots are available again. To save me from getting burnt out I won't be taking more commissions until my current list is done.
Can I reserve a slot until I decide what I want?
No, I will not be reserving slots. However if things go well I may open up more slots at once in the future.
I want a commission, and I'm going to stalk your journals and go for a slot the second you're open!
Please don't. I will NOT be working on a "first in, first served" basis. I will be accepting the ideas that I feel will be enjoyable to do. You'll have a more likely chance of getting accepted if you take your time with your idea and come up with something interesting and fun! I'm not doing this just for the money!
Can I pay for multiple pictures in the one slot?
Unless it's part of a comic/sequence, then no. I'd like to give everyone a chance to get a commission.
What's a "complex" character?
A character with complicated markings, colors, or body parts (wings, spikes, fins, etc.) would count as complex. However since this is a very opinion based thing I will not force a commissioner to pay extra for a complex character without their approval.
Can I "red line" my commission?
Sure! It helps me a lot and makes it easier to know what you've got in mind and exactly what you want! In fact, I encourage this!
*NOTE: "Red Lining" means drawing red (or highlighted) lines on the picture to show what changes you would like in a more visual way.
Any other questions? Either post here, or note me!

Was thinking of getting an icon gift for a friend since hes never had an icon .-.
You'll fill up amazingly quickly, of course - best of luck with it working out this time!
A money-colour of money.
Because I have no money.
Money. D:
1 character of mine + 1 character of yours, 1 picture with cutaway and not cutaway.
How much would that be?
Characters: 1 Full Body($10) + 1 Discount Full Body($5) = $15
Ink($10) + Flat Color($10) + Cell-Shading($20) = $40
Cutaway = $10
Total= $65
Two questions:
Do you draw humans?
What characters are your personal ones?
