So Regarding Commissions
10 years ago
I'm almost caught up with where I was supposed to be months ago. Harrrrr.
Status is basically this.
I have 5 more manga pages to do total. 1 for Cairo's Surprise, 1 for Sherri, and 3 for Cischiral. I have a desktop background to do. And I have project lined up to start. I'll update this when I'm ready to open commissions. A LOT of you have been asking. But keep this one thing in mind:
I may or may not accept manga commissions when I reopen. I know about half of you guys wanted to go in that direction. And that's sort of the problem. Working on 3-5 mangas at once REALLY messes with the quality of all of them and wears on my muse hardcore. I think I may limit myself to 1 or 2 manga commissions at a time. Busts, character art, wingits, those are fine. Just be aware that if you want a manga commission, you may have to wait awhile longer than for regular art.
Thanks guys. Again, glad to be back.

My usual suggestion for such issues still holds: charge more.
Setting a cap is good too, but the fact remains manga pages take more out of you then many other things (you said so in this very journal post) therefore they are technically more effort. That should be reason enough for you to charge more, but as an additional reason clearly demand outstrips supply and that always creates problems fpr which there are usually only two general solutions: charge more, or increase supply.
