IMPORTANT - Regarding Life, Requests, Possible Commissions
7 years ago
~Life Updates~
First off, yes, my first year of college is officially over, and I'm back home!
Glad to be back with my puppos and family ^^
This summer vacation will also mark my first Summer with a job, which in all honesty is making me a bit nervous >w<;
Wish me luck on that front, as I hope that, when I do get a job, it isn't too bleh on me!
~Request Updates~
Rereading my last journal, I originally said that I probably wouldn't get to requests until next week or later. That was kind of an overstatement on my part, haha, probably should've thought that out more ^^;
Basically, because of the next bit of news in this journal, I'm going to open Requests again TONIGHT. Though there might be some different things, I'm not sure. So please just wait until that journal is up!
~Huh, Possible Commissions?~
Basically, my Dad has encouraged me to start doing things with my art to make money. And while it all makes me nervous, it's something that's going to need to happen eventually, in some way, shape or form. So, sometime this summer, I'm going to probably open up my first commissions!
... but while I do have some ideas about Commission stuff, the whole Commissions thing is new to me, and there are many things I don't know. What would my prices be? How exactly should I go about it? Is my art even worthy of being commissioned?
So, as this whole topic is new to me, and is making me nervous, I would be really appreciative if I could get some help from some of you guys, and if I could hear your opinions! What do you all think about this?
Thanks for taking the time to read this far, btw!

How much it costs for the payer,
Quality of work produced from the artist,
and how fast (or slow) the artist can make an artwork.

Of the plans I have in my head currently, I personally don't want to have anyone pay until I finish their work, as typically, I'm slow/unpredictable with art. And I'll probably do what I've seen others do, where they have a base price for character lineart, and then increase the price by some amount for higher quality stuff.
I guess this is all just something I'm gonna have to think on, and just try eventually.
