Are you waiting a CM from me? Commissioners please read.
7 years ago
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
I have been wondering A LOT how I could manage the problem I tend to have with people waiting too much time for me with commissions, and I refer to people who ALREADY had contacted me and received an answer. I know there are even people who I didn't answered at all because I opened by mistake the note and I forgot to reply. (That's why I keep them unread until I inmediately asnwer, because the color thingy priority doesn't work with my forgiveness ;;)
So I came to a temporary solution: An special list of people waiting for their commissions. The only condition of this list is:
-To have several months waiting for me.
-You have to have an actual answer from me, per example: "Oh sure, you just have to wait for me until I end with what I owe, but I'd love to do that commission" or similars.
-Most importantly; that commission shouldn't be paid.
This wouldn't apply to people who'll read this journal and send me a note, since I want to know how many people are actually waiting news from their commissions.
Once I have all the people, I'll put them all in this journal and I'll be taking care of any of those commissions until I finalice with all. I don't know much would it take, but they need to know that I could be taking side-quick commissions also, since those are my quick income, because I WILL NOT ASK for money until the commission is all SKETCHED AND SET for approval.
^ please, this is important, don't forget that!
Also, this list doesn't have to do with the waiting list on my profile. I'm doing this because I think I should manage and know better who have been waiting for me more specifically. Depending on the amount of work and the time of wait, I'll apply discounts to the final price, as a way to make up my fault.
so yeah! you can comment here along the lines of this:
(Example)
Username: Nekochan90
Kind of commission: Gore. Fullbody Detailed, BG included.
Quantity of characters: one.
Single/multiple piece?: Single piece.
Did I gave you a price? Yes
If so, How much? 80$
BTW If you want to remain anonymous, you can send me a note with the subject of "Pending commission info" with the info.
Overdue commission list:
1. Sonic_Wolfe
Kind of commission: Gore related. Full body Detailed. BG included.
Quantity of characters: one (1).
Single/multiple piece?: Multiple, at least 2 Pages. - Finished on 10/29/18
2. dmc10398
Kind of commission: Gore/vore related. Possibly BG.
Quantity of characters: Two.
Single / multiple piece?: Single. - Finished on 11/06/18
What I'm going to do to avoid this to happen again is that I'll only take two or just one fulldetail commission from time to time (if not, I'll take them rarely) since I hugely prefer to take colored sketches because their deadlines is always way more quick than a fulldetail drawing that can take me several days in a row to finish.
and, as always, if you have any doubt, you can always ask me!!
Kind of commission: Gore related. Full body Detailed. Multiple insert or comic. Background undetermined but likely simple.
Quantity of characters: one (1).
Single/multiple piece?: Multiple, planned to be discussed, at least 2 Pages.
Did I gave you a price? No
How long have I been waiting? About 6 month.
Side note:
Received your last replay in early October 2017, back then we were shooting for Jan/Feb XD
"With all of that, if you're willing to wait, then I can add you to my waiting list, so when I have the time to open commissions, you'll have priority. "
Comment:
Personally I think you are fine, popular artist have waiting list 3-4month long, and 6 month or more waiting time is not that uncommon. I even have an artist forgot a YCH for me that was overdue for 2 years and two more disappeared <.< >.> (One of these two were paid). So you are totally fine :D
and I appreciate a lot your patience.
Tbh I'm not too fond to the idea of letting people wait that much, I always thought that all artists have a working/delivering time of a month or less. But your words give me some relief... gore commissions tends to be way more difficult and intricated in details than clean/sketches drawings... I like to take some time to prepare myself to the work since I love to be dedicated with it to give an excellent work to the commissioner.
and also that's why I tend to NOT ask for payment first with elaborated commissions x'D it's like a way of security I have. I usually ask for the payment when half of the work is done, where's there's no doubt that work is going to be finished and delivered soon.
