Current plans for re-opening commissions.
8 years ago
█ █ █ - - - - █ █ █ So I'm down to 5 things left, 2 of which are trades, and one of those is kinda low priority since the other side is busy with more important things as well. So that's like 3 actual commissions left! Might as well let you guys know what my plans are for when I reopen commissions and get back into the groove of things.
Concerning the slot limit, I'm definitely gonna have a hard limit on slots. I used to consider 5 the "it'll take a while" soft limit and 7 being the "okay that's enough backlog for now" but that might not be the best limit for a rolling queue, where slots open up as they're completed. I'll probably lower it to 5 being the definite cutoff point.
For adult stuff, I definitely want to do adult things. I'll have to rewrite my terms so it defines what kind of kinks I think are okay and which ones I flat out won't do. I might have a separate limit for how many adult things I can have in my backlog compared to the total just so I'm not doing porn 24/7. It gets tiring after a while! That, and I like clothes.
For Icons, those will stay the same. As my animation skills get better and the requests get more extravagant I might raise the price of getting it animated but for the most part I'm okay with where it is right now.
Emotes! I'm planning on opening a new commission type, where you can get a 16x16 or 32x32 emote like the ones seen here and here. They'd be pretty cheap, like $5, and extra expressions could be like $.50 each since that's just editing a few pixels most of the time. These would be restricted to bust shots, as well. I'm not making a 16x16 of your dick. Maybe. If there's enough want for that then I'd do it. But not now.
Non-icon stuff! I wanna do different resolutions. 50x50 and 100x100 are good baselines but I wanna branch out from that. I haven't figured out prices yet but as a base they'll be a little more expensive than the icon prices, and more depending on how large you want it. Pixel art is weird, in that the larger something gets the more difficult it gets, when in most other art forms that isn't really even a thing. Embroidering, maybe.
I've also been considering other things like YCHs and character adopts. Lemme touch on those, actually. YCHs are pretty cool, if I do those I definitely won't do those weird restrictions you see like only certain genders or species. The template's already there!
Character adopts are...weird. They get really expensive really fast, and while the greed is alluring I don't really like the overall concept, especially when the people who adopt it never do anything with them afterwards. It just seems like a shady waste of money. I've seen people buy a character just because they like the design and then they regret it because they don't know what to do with them, multiple times. So if I do end up doing adopts, I'd pack something else in there too like a free commission featuring that character or discounts for using that character from then on, so getting the design is actually worth something other than "I own that design now". No promises, though.
But yeah! I've really been enjoying doing this for you guys so far. It's had its ups and downs but overall it's nice, it's just part of a learning experience.

Don't forget I'm still just waiting for the re-open to get an icon from you. x3
I had that in the back of my mind even before we met on Discord
I can't wait to see what you come up with for the YCH 's. Money is certainly short but id love to get more from you!
The adult work would be really interesting. I've enjoyed what you've put out this far and can't wait to see where you can go from here! =3
I like your idea for adoptables, they are a pretty terrible idea. It's a damn shame they became so popular. (I'm old enough to know before that time. XD) however, I like the idea with giving them more than just an image if you do them. A lot just sit there and collect dust. (I know some of mine do but not for lack of ideas but lack of money XP) Giving discounts on commissions involving them, stories, something extra to inspire the buyer to do something more with the is really a great idea for them.
