A Clarification on Commissions
9 years ago
So ahh I noticed I've been getting a buncha emails lately about commissions and I guess I didnt really clarify about them too well on my page. x'D So I'll just try to explain it a bit more here. :'D
---
Basically, commissions are closed indefinitely unless an emergency comes up or if I submit a YCH piece. The reason why I stopped taking normal commissions as I used do is because I wanted more time to work on my own stuff and build my portfolio. I'm trying to take a more professional route with my art and while I love drawing animal and anthro characters and will continue to do so, I dont really want to limit myself to just furry commissions. Its nice as a side hobby/job, but its not really the direction I want my art to take in the long run.
You've probably read before that I'm very open to commercial work. (I think this is what confused a lot of people xD) How commercial commissions differ from regular/private ones is that the person is buying rights to the image, thus giving them the ability to mass produce the art and make profit off of it. Examples could be:
- Logos/graphics/illustrations for a business
- Concept/official artwork for a game/movie/show/story ect.
Because of this, these types of commissions tend to cost a lot more (i usually charge 2 to 3 times my normal prices). They also make nice portfolio pieces and are things I can put on resumes, so I'm pretty partial on taking them. :'D
That being said, there still are ways you can commissions me!
1) I'm receptive to bribery haha. So if you REALLY, really want to commission me, you can bypass my COMMISSIONS ARE CLOSED sign by offering me a price I cant refuse. xD (probably something around the price a commercial commission would cost)
2) One of the reward tiers on my Patreon is that you can commissions me if you pledge $5 or more. You can even get discounts on commissions if you pledge to higher tiers. But its still based on luck if you can grab a slot or not since I only open 1 or 2 slots a month.

So I apologize if I made it a bitch to commission me xD But hopefully its understandable! ;u;

Though i guess being a broke artist complements that since I cant afford to stuff myself xD
And well yeah it does have benefits. I tend to just not eat. Strange. =v=
I say keep on doing your best and make sure to be organized with your work. There are people who also like that kind of stuff and you can tell when they do is when they get really curious when they see a folder with NSFW on it. Although I recommend to not force it on them. You're welcome, Draggincat. I'm still working in my area of drawing. I've done Graphic Designs for now 6 years and still going to this day, while my Artwork is still needing some understanding and improving here and there on some stuff.
Though of course if i was applying for a porn-illustration job then theres no holding back haha xD
As for patreon, I actually just recently cleaned up my rewards so commissions arent patreon exclusive anymore. There is still a discount offer but it only takes effect if you can nab a slot from me :'D
So leave a comment there with your information and we'll see what happens x'D
