Commission Pricing, Options, and Status
10 years ago
General
Hey everyone!
After much deliberation and getting a lot of wonderful feedback in HanMonster's stream last night, I've decided to make some hefty changes. After April 15th, I will be deleting several commission options and raising my prices to more accurately reflect the time they take to complete.
I will be removing from the digital options: Line Art, Chibis, Icons, and Full Characters. From the traditional options I will be removing: Line Art, ACEO's, Bust Badges, and Feral Badges (combining it into full badges instead). After April 15th, I will not offer these anymore. I don't get requests for them and, personally, I like working on other options.
I will be keeping: Digital Sketches, Flat Color, Ref Sheets, and Full Illustrations. Traditionally, I'll be keeping Sketches, Chibi Badges, Full Badges, B&W Pieces, and Full Illustrations.
To accommodate anyone who may yet wish to snag a commission of those types (or take advantage of a lower price tag..), I will be opening for a few limited slots on Friday, April 15th.
From me, I am trying to produce art on a more consistent basis for you all. Not only does it help me keep the juices flowing, it makes an example of the quality I offer.
As a final note: I do not want to see the response to this as a means for complaining about my pricing, please. I've had that before and couldn't find it more disrespectful. Pricing not only reflects the time it takes to create something personal for a client, it takes into consideration the years spent growing and honing my skills.
Thank you for reading! As of April 15th, a new commission pricing guide will be posted and the other removed.

Also your wall kinda contradicts itself in the fact that it says your open and closed for commissions
In the journal, "To accommodate anyone who may yet wish to snag a commission of those types (or take advantage of a lower price tag..), I will be opening for a few limited slots on Friday, April 1st."
I'll continue with full illustrations, for sure. Digitally I'll have: Sketches, Flat Color, Ref Sheets, and Full Illustrations. Traditionally, I'll be keeping Sketches, Chibi Badges, Full Badges, B&W Pieces, and Full Illustrations.
I will put some brutal honesty here, though: I'm just hoping you're not going psycho with it (not that I think you will), but an artist I enjoy watching ramped up their digital full-body line art from where you have it now, $35, to $80 within a couple of years (and honestly, your art is better than theirs, in my honest opinion). That is a bit on the way-too-high side....
I won't make any suggestions on what I feel would be a fair price, because that is not fair. YOU know what's fair for the work you do. I'll just wait and see (and snag a spot [hopefully; I will be at work]) on Friday!
