Major Commission Changes
7 years ago
The Weekly Nonsensical
Hey everyone!
I've been thinking about the way I balance work and do commissions for some time now. With how things are IRL at the moment, I have come to the conclusion that I should focus slightly more on art than my IRL jobs, being animation and teaching. So far, pretty much every art block or dry season I have had was caused because of work-related stress catching up to me, draining my mojo and energies for art, resulting in loop of poor productivity.
In order to allow for proper prioritization of arts over other things, I have realized that a reform and rework of how I do commissions is now absolutely necessary.
This means that I will be dedicating myself to the following changes:
- Standardization on what commission types I offer customers.
- Adjusted commission prices to better reflect quality and time spent.
I'm not opening for commissions yet - though I am thinking of taking two small 'Doodley' type comms next week.
This update is being put out here now so that people can have an opportunity to see these changes coming - well before I actually open any new commissions.
(Of course, these won't affect the commissions in queue right now, only the future openings!)
Thank you everyone for the love and support!
Take care! <3
Beat that stress! <3
Yusss, beat them with arts! <3
:3c
In all seriousness hope things smooth out for you! Glad you've found a solution and the source of the issue, that's always a tricky part
:3
Thank you so much! <3 We are yet to see how will it work out, but since I've been doing these small pictures, I've been feeling more productive and faster too? .w. All the aaaarts!
Sucks you got unlucky with the previous opening's timings :c
But now, ill try to open more frequently!
Gotta focus on what stresses you less :3 (I switched to full time on the freelance illustration a while ago and it's been great! *and more worth my while considering the last string of jobs prior)
