Opening Emergency Commissions, Read for Info
9 years ago
Hello people of FurAffinity, I am officially opening up commissions for many things, because I desperately need money right now. My car broke down today and I have a job interview on Monday, but I just need a new car in general. I doubt I'll make enough for a new car, but anything helps. I know you could all probably do this for free, but in a job interview I had recently (for Dunkin Donuts, didn't get the job :/), the manager was talking about why they have sorta higher prices. He explained that the higher price for a coffee is because of the good service provided, people can make their own cups of coffee for, what, a buck? But they charge a bit more because of the service they provide, and good service hopefully. That's why I'm charging, well that and I really need a new car. But I'm mostly charging because I promise that I'll provide the best service I can. I mean I'm a pretty nice guy, and I'm very open to things. I'll make sure I do everything I can to make sure YOU'RE happy with your final product, and not just give you what I think looks good and just leave it be. I'll give you updates, and if you don't like something, I'll happily change it, as long as you're nice about the criticism. I won't accept any harshness.
Here are my terms I guess for these commissions:
1) Like I said earlier, I won't accept any harsh or mean criticisms. If you're rude to me, I'll stop the service I'm providing, and I won't give a refund. I'm just telling you this now, if you think you'll be mean, don't bother, because you'll lose money by having a piece that's not to your expectations. Please just be nice, and I'll continue to be nice! Be nice ^w^
2) I will give refunds if you have a good reason. But if you do request a refund, I'll ask that you delete any of the updates that I'd give you, because if you want your money back, I can't afford to do things for free, so I will ask that you just don't use what I give you.
3) As a busy individual, there might be some pieces that I might not be able to finish, because I just can't get to it. If that happens, I'll refund your whole price, and I ask that you please understand.. I doubt that'll happen, because I always try to finish everything, but if it does please understand. Be understanding ^w^
4) I ask that you also understand if I take a while to finish your product. Again, I am very busy most of the time and can't spend every single second of the day on stuffs, so it might take a while. Be patient ^w^
Anyway, I have 3 types of commissions that I'm opening up. One is like I've been doing for a while, digitizing your art. I know there aren't many artists that just do traditional anymore, but if you have any traditional style art that you'd want digitized, and are too lazy or don't have the time, come to me! I'll digitize for cheap, I won't charge anything more than $15, and the price would depend on the difficulty of the drawing. Simpler drawings would be cheaper, complex ones would be a bit more expensive. I'll color, shade, everything is included in the price. All the art I have on my page right now are pieces that I've digitized, at least I think. I'm pretty sure. If you want to see what I can do just look x3.
Prices
I'll have an easy price range.. x3
-One character- $3
-Two characters- $5
-More than two characters- $7
-Simple Background- Add $3
-Decent Background- Add $5
-Complex Background- Add $7
So it won't be more than $14
The next commissions I'm offering are wallpapers/background/etc. I'm actually starting on a Pokedex kinda thing, where I set each Pokemon to a background, and I'll extend it to you guys. What I'll offer is to make a background of all your favorite Pokemon, or just a combination of Pokemon, set it to a background, recolor to make it look better, shade it to look better, and send it to you. I know it's very easy to edit things onto a background, but I'm offering to recolor it to make it look better, because some of the pictures on the internet of some Pokemon aren't very good looking. If you want, I could also make the Pokemon a different color scheme, whatever you'd desire!
Prices
This will be very easy, and sorta cheap too xD.
For every Pokemon you want, it'll be $2. The background is a base price of $1, then the number of Pokemon will be an extra dollar.
The Pokemon price broken down are $.75 for erasing the background (that's literally the hardest part, all pictures I've used to far come with a huge square of white around it, so I have to erase that and it's soooo hard) $.50 for outlining, $.50 for recoloring, and $.25 for shading. Those prices are based off of how much time and effort it takes. Erasing the white surrounding is the hardest, outlining and recoloring take the same amount of time, and shading is super simple.
So if you just want a certain thing, like reoutlining or recoloring only, it'll be $1.75 (I have to erase no matter what). If you just want outlining, it'lls be $1.25. So.. yeah XD
So I'll break down those prices (TLDR x3):
-Background- $1
-Base Pokemon Price- $.75
-Outlining (per Pokemon)- $.50
-Recoloring (per Pokemon)- $.50
-Shading (per Pokemon)- $.25
The last type of commission I'm offering, which is kinda weird, are SkinIt commissions. I explained it in the journal I made the other day, but I'll explain it in detail now, since I'm making it official. This one requires the most amount of work so it'll be a bit more expensive, plus you'd have to pay for the skin/cases that you'd want. So, for example, the case I ordered- actually I'll explain that in the pricing part xD
So this is very similar to the previous one, the background one, but this is more involved. I'll do the same things, I'll edit the Pokemon or whatever images you want onto a background, recolor, do all that stuff, but this time I'll have to position them a certain way. Some phone cases have different proportions and buttons and camera things so I'll have to make sure nothing is there and stuff, or if you want a video game controller skin, I'd have to position it differently. It takes a lot of trial and error on my part, and that's just for positioning. For the case I ordered, I had to do 5 different versions until I got it perfect. It'll be harder because since I'm doing it for someone else, I'll need your approval before doing anything else, which takes more time and effort. BUT, it's really cool so it's worth it xD
Prices
Ok so this will be kinda confusing, but I'll try to make it as easy as I can.
For the Pokemon and stuff, it's the same as the last commissions.
I'll also add a $2-$5 service fee, depending on the difficulty, since this is so involved on my part.
I'll also require you pay for the case/skin, plus shipping.
I'll start with the example I started earlier. My phone case was $39.99. With my case, I had 7 Pokemon and a Pokeball, so 8 items I guess. So with the pricing, $2 per Pokemon, it would be $16, plus the $1 background, so $17. Since mine was kinda difficult, I'd add $3, making it $20. I'd add the $39.99 for the case, making it $59.99, and then the $5 shipping, making it $64.99, so $65. The final price for mine would be $65, but only $20 for actual picture.
So if you can afford the phone case plus the customization that I provide, then go for it! It's a really cool thing and I'm hoping this kicks off.
I'm hoping all of this kicks off, so PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE spread the word and just let me know if you'd be interested in getting anything, or even just donating! I'm really in need right now, so any donation/commission would help IMMENSELY.
PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD
