Commission payment changes for 2015
10 years ago
Commissions closed/available by announcement only!!
ToS, prices and info
Commission List I've been very slow with owed work for awhile and it's been really stressful for me; I want to try and make some changes. Drawing itself is usually the hardest part for me, so I've been thinking about taking payment for commissions differently: Instead of taking payment up-front, I'd like to start waiting until after I've done the sketch. This has worked out smoothly with stream commissions, so I'd like to try it with regular comms. I feel that if I don't accept payment until after sketching, I won't keep people waiting as long after they pay. I'm hoping this works out better!
I only started taking payment up-front to begin with because I got scammed a good handful of times back in the day. Having learned from that, I'm planing on taking strict measures to prevent dealing with it again--
>I will still take forms as usual. If I'm interested in taking on your commission, I'll add you to a waiting list.
>Once I have your sketch done, I will send you a bill and a lo-res preview of the sketch. Upon receiving payment, I will send you the full res sketch and proceed as usual from there.
>Any effort to receive the full sketch before paying will end in me cancelling your commission and perhaps even blacklisting you. This very blatantly breaks the terms that you'll have agreed to by submitting a form.
>If you're no longer interested in a commission, please let me know so that I can remove you from the list before starting any work!
>All that being said, please be aware that if a commission is cancelled after I've drawn it, it may be reused as a YCH or something to make up for lost time.
Once I've made the proper changes to my ToS, I'll announce it on Twitter. I probably won't take on any new comms until I've done so; keep an eye out!
Any questions or opinions on this? Concerns, advice, etc?

So yeah, if you're feeling stressed out, I think this is the best option! It's what I try to do.
Pay after sketch is the policy I use.
I have been fortunate not to have been shafted by anyone yet.
