Announcement: Pertaining to Squishes
9 years ago
I would like to let everyone know
luvbun and I will be opening up Squish commissions once again. However, please be aware the price will be increased to 20$ plus tax. There are a couple reasons for this decision I hope you can understand.
1. The demand is very high for these cute lil guys. So much so that people would hold off from getting normal commissions to get them. That defeats the point of them as squishes are supposed to be reserved for slow nights only.
2. Burn out. The problem is that we did so many that luvbun and I both burnt out quickly on them. We're hoping a slight price increase will discourage the mad dash.
3. Because we're sharing between the two of us, what we get out of a squish is $7.50 not including paypal fees. But they aren't efficient. If both of us spend roughly 45 min to an hour on them, we're literally getting in return below minimum wage for maximum effort.
We love you guys a lot and appreciate your patronage, but we just need a lil bit more to keep these things going on a long term basis. Squishes are a great way for people to have access to low cost cheap colored artwork that can be used as a reference and are just darn cute and we really love how much you guys like them. But we just need to slow down the frequency of them on our end because we want to keep offering them for as long as you keep wanting them instead of in random spurts.

'Cuteness' is popular!
Otherwise, it's not worth doing. Passion's great. But it doesn't put food on the plate.
