What can I offer for commissions??
7 years ago
Hey guys, I need some help here. I'm open for commissions but I'm having an impossible time getting work, and I need some ideas. I'm currently working on a big backlog and things are finally easing up in my life so I can really focus on just pumping out work but I need commissions to cover my bills in the meantime.
I'm currently offering a 10% discount on all my work in exchange for folks patience for waiting up to 3-4 months while I work down this backlog. Thing is I know folks aren't super interested in a wait like that, but that's the best I can offer. I can't lower my prices any further and I can't rush my work because the folks that have been waiting a long time deserve to come first and get the quality they paid for.
I'm hella stressed because I have a $1000 student loan bill due Friday, and I've got roughly $200 towards that at this time, and getting commissions to cover that as well as the rest of the bills I have this month as well. Its already double this month because I had to skip paying it last month and I'd really like to avoid skipping another months payment before it becomes too outrageously high for me to pay.
Right now I'm considering doing another group YCH auction over the weekend, to be completed by the end of the month if I dont get enough work to cover my bills. It's a lot of extra work but I'd be doing that in my 'freetime' so that it doesn't affect my normal schedules
The Point?
I need ideas. Is there anything people would be interested in that I'm not currently offering? Streaming my work isnt an option, and neither is lowering my prices any further. I'm already taking a huge hit by offering 10% off.
Would anyone be interested in:
- Flat color Music Portraits for $100 (same thing as my standard music portraits minus the shading
- Thigh-up Sketch commissions for $35 (no color, no shading, just a regular old sketch )
- Stickers, but I'd have to charge about $35 per sticker, or $180 for a pack of 6 (I tried doing them before, and although I dont mind making them, I severely undercharged for them last time because they take FOREVER)
- Themed Badge Pre-orders for MFF, FC and FWA. (I'm not attending MFF or FC but I should have any badges I take on now done in time for them) In fact if you want one of these just fill out my standard commission form liked at the bottom and mention which con you'd like it for.
- Flat color themed portraits for $40 (Like the Hipster portraits I offered a while back: http://www.furaffinity.net/gallery/.....ster-Portraits ) Maybe same theme or a new theme?
- Any Christmas/winter themed work. what I'm taking on now should be done around that time so it'd be better to 'preorder' that from me now than wait until November/December
- fetishy stuff that you might not know that I'm okay with drawing like TF sequences (anything from human to furry, furry to furry, size theft, weight gain, gender tf, cock tf. etc.), watersports , inflatables, Vore (though with characters of different sizes, I'm not willing to struggle with the anatomy of someone eating characters that are the same size as them)
If any of those sound like something you'd be interested, or have a suggestion and you'd be okay for up to a possible 3-4 month wait then comment here or send me a note! (that 10% discount would apply to all of those)
Or if you are interested in a standard commission seen on my price guide here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/20171815/

Also the Sketches you can offer to color them in in the future (after we work your way into your list) for a discount or allow buyers to color them their self (or another artist)
