We’re back! (Also, commission info)
7 years ago
Hello there folks! It’s been a while. Again.
This year has been kind of a huge mess for me, not many good things happening and a bunch of bullshit, but we have to work with what we get. I still have high hopes for this year and I want to start the second semester right, so let’s get going with the important stuff.
I spent a good part of the first half of my year rethinking my approach to commissions, the way I was dealing with it before was just unsustainable, more specifically the process itself. It was extremely time consuming, unreliable and prone to delays, as many have experienced. The only way I could make it viable was to double its price which was not the best alternative, and I was pretty close to go with that , but instead I preferred to completely rework my process. After a long and arduous development cycle I finally came up with something I’m pretty happy with, It’s a lot more reliable, consistent and overall better in every regard, and A LOT faster. I’m pretty confident it will solve most of the problems I had to deal with before and some early tests have shown it has a high probability to work as intended, unlike previous attempts. This also means I’ll be submitting a lot more artwork from now on, and these long periods of inactivity will more likely finally disappear.
I’m more excited with my art now than I ever was and I can’t wait to show to you guys what I’ve been planning other than commissions, but that’s for another time, right now I’ll be focusing on the usual, that by the way~
Commissions opens tomorrow! (Sunday, July 1st. I’ll be posting another journal when the time comes, so please don’t send any note before that.) Though, keep in mind, there will be some significant changes.
First of all, I won’t be working with a set number of slots like before, my plan will be to have a single continuous waiting list that people can add their names at any time. I don’t know if this will work out, but I will give it a try. Depending on the number of interested I’ll make the list public, so people can have a better idea of how long it will take for their turn.
The other really important change, that will probably disappointed some people, payment will now be upfront. This is something that I’ve been delaying for quite some time, but some recent bad experiences have finally made me put this into practice. I really hope this won’t be a dealbreaker to anyone, but I need to start protecting myself a little more and you can always count on me to my commissions, even if it takes longer than originally planned. Important to note, You won’t need to pay to add your name on the waiting list, I will only be charging anything when I’m about to start working on your commission, a couple of days before at most.
Well, more info regarding the commission's tomorrow, for now, I’ll start dumping the artwork I’ve in stock. There is quite a bit, and I wish I had more time but two days will do. So yeah, for the interested, see you tomorrow!
One last thing, the most important thing, THANKS EVERYONE FOR YOUR SUPPORT! Look forward to this year, there is a bunch of cool stuff to come!

If someone tries to get out of it, you get half their money and now have something to use as YCH for a potentially larger profit.
This way someone has already bought into it while still giving them the consumer protection.
Or is there a larger negative to this method I'm not quite seeing?
sorry im tired rn so i could be totally confused
But regardless if I do, will just be happy to see you doing better artwise and in general.
Good to see all the great art you've uploaded, and that you're happy with the direction it's all going in! Am sure with everyone else I'll be eagerly awaiting a chance at getting a slot haha.
Please DO NOT run a continuous waiting list! They always get so long that people at the end wait years with the hope that they'll get a commission before the waiting list is dismantled.
