Commission price adjustments and new tiers
6 years ago
Hullo!
I've always tried to maintain a quick turnaround and low prices, as well as always trying to finish one queue completely before taking on any new work, however, after struggling recently to maintain the kind of output I've expected of myself for a while now, I'm realizing that when I established this system at my current prices, some five or six years ago at this point, my work flow and skill level were significantly different than they are now, and putting out a fully inked and coloured piece in a week is simply no longer a reasonable expectation.
However, neither is sitting on 2-5 commissions at $45-$60 apiece for a month at a time before accepting anything new. As such that brings me to the point of this journal, outlining some of the changes I'll be making.
First off, instead of the five slots I normally open for and then lock down until completed, I'll instead be opening for up to around 10, and will try and maintain around that many in a running backlog, with the simplest pieces with the fastest turnarounds taking priority so I can focus more on the quality of higher tier pieces. I will probably look into a Trello to keep this backlog as transparent as possible.
As for prices, Coloured pieces will see a $15 USD increase, bringing Coloured Sketches up to $60 USD and Polished Pieces up to $75.
I realize this is reaching the higher end of many people's budget so I am also opening up two new budget tiers and a flexible system to still allow people who want higher tier pieces to get them while not breaking the bank:
Uncoloured sketches will be $25 per character, while Uncoloured inks will be $35
If you get an uncoloured piece and later decide you would like to upgrade it to its higher tier variant, I am more than happy to accommodate at the cost of the difference!
That about covers everything and if you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out!
With all that being said, if you would like to get a commission from me, I am Currently Open, so feel free to note me if interested!
