update - workflow approach, promos, comms, etc

I'll write this in FAQ format
It's totally not FAQ ... but this format is better for conveying the logic behind decisions.
- Do you have an ETA or update on my commission?
no.
That goes for everyone. The answer is "no, i do not have an ETA on your commission."
If you want a refund because the answer is understandably unsatisfactory, let me know.
- I don't know the answers to the rest of these questions, but I can only assume this is because "it's all about money".
... and that's spoken like a true bitter socialist!
heavy sarcasm aside, if you don't pay attention to finances and actual performance metrics - you won't be able to be a full time freelancer.
The following changes and decisions being made are reflective of a need to get finances squared away. It's either this or get non-drawing day job (which would probably result in mass refunds across the board).
So yeah, this is the way.
- Are you accepting commissions?
Generally no.
If you have a bigger project (i.e. +$200 bucks), let me know. I'll consider taking it on at that point.
- Ok, so I guess that means commission art via promos only
Yes.
- So you'll be doing more promos?
Much more limited quantities with a higher price tag.
If you want to get the free artwork deal via being subscriber and all that = cool. http://artofjonfreeman.com/Subscription.html
Otherwise ... I won't be accepting suggestions for new promos, as that's a gremlin's benefit ... and you need to be a gremlin (subscriber) to get the benefit.
Unfortunately, this experiment never really caught fire like i hoped it would. So ... back to plan A.
- Oh ...
Yup
- What about YCHs?
Those will, unfortunately, be phased out. They were an interesting experiment, but didn't pan out long term (oddly less sustainable than expected)
- ... wait, so what does that leave you?
It leaves me with dopts! Heavy emphasis on dopts will resume.
- Well, can i get a similar dopt?
Those are still available ... but they are significantly more expensive now.
This puts more emphasis/priority on the first go around ... which also means more emphasis on being a Gremlin Subscriber.
- Thanks for all that info, I'm having a great day!
Great, I'm glad you're having a great day. It's a bit superfluous to wish you a good day when you're already having a great day ... but I'll do so anyway. Have a great day!
