I GOT A PATREON!! (mostly)
7 years ago
Wassup guys, it's fuzzbutt Daniel again!!
Okay, so for a long, looooong-ass time now, I've been promising people I'd start up paid commissions. I know a few people have messaged me already, so now work has officially begun on the "getting paid" part of my artistic development.
Part of the reason I haven't been taking on commissions in the past was because of discomfort. Back a few years ago, I didn't feel my art was worth people paying for, and I felt it would be unfair to charge for it. Besides that, I was notorious for spending long periods of time not uploading, and coming back sporadically with content. Well, neither of those factors are at play anymore: I can finally look at my art with some degree of pride, and I have proven I can produce work not only on a weekly basis, but sometimes even a daily one (even if not everything is polished artwork all the time).
Now, to the matter of Patreon--it's not completely finished. I haven't linked it with my bank account just yet, but work on that will be underway in a few days since some details need to be attended to before I'm open for business. I'll update you guys when that's done.
Lastly, the matter of price. I debated for a while what a reasonable price for my artwork would be, and for now this is what I'm going with:
Sketch, no colour (1-2 characters)
$15 [$5 for additional characters]
Sketch, flat coloured (1-2 characters)
$20 [$5 for additional characters]
Inked no colour (1-2 characters)
$25 [$10 for additional characters]
Ink/ FLAT Colour (1-2 characters)
$30 [$10 for additional characters]
Ink/full colour, final illustration (1-2 characters)
$40 [$15 for additional characters]
Depending on how many I get, and how complex an image you want, time taken may vary. I'm also not really doing background illustrations yet, like something set in a forest or city and the like. Once I'm comfortable doing that kind of thing, I'll update the commissions page. Remember, I won't be completely set up for several days, and I've just sent off my Patreon page to be reviewed and approved. I have no idea if it'll even be accepted, so this might be all for naught... especially with the political situation being what it is right now. With any luck it'll go through fine and I'm concerned about nothing.
Do please let me know in the comments if you would be interested in commissions. Thanks a lot ^u^
[SAME-DAY EDIT]
HOLY CRAP--okay, so I didn't realise how goddamned quick the approval/launch would be. Literally within seconds of submitting it, the thing was approved and I was able to launch! Still gotta link it with my bank account, but still, jeez--there it is!
