Heya all, hope you've been well ^^ I've been good, and I'm still taking the next week break from the commissions, but I'll be sure to open them again once the week ends! That brings me to my next thought: Should I change my commission prices?

Ever since I got my tablet, I think my art has been slowly improving. I've done many new pictures, and I would say my art looks better than it was before. Yet, I still have my old commission sheet from when I was still making my pictures with keyboard and mouse. I've also gotten many new customers (Thanks everyone who has bought commissions from me <3), so it seems like my stuff has demand. I've also learned to make soft shading, which aren't an official commission tier just yet.

All this has made me think about updating my commission sheet, also at the same time I've been thinking about upping my prices a little bit. I would like to hear what anyone's opinion in this matter. I'm not changing the prices just yet, but I was thinking after one more patch of commissions I would then change them. What do you think, should I raise my prices at all, and if yes, by how much? Any opinion is important, whether you're considering commissioning me or not~

I was also thinking about providing a budget tier too. While most of the current tiers would get more expensive, I would also offer pictures which's prices would depend on the hourly rates rather than a flat price. This would mean that you pay for certain amount of hours, and I'll draw for that long. Usually I take longer to make a commission picture, making sure every aspect is alright with the commissioner, but this tier would be more rushed and slightly lower quality. I've done some personal pictures in just one hour, fully shaded and everything, and the overall quality has been barely lesser than the one you'd might find from a normal commission - although my speed really depends on the complexity of the picture and my familiarity with the characters and other variables. I would call these options something like "Mystery Hour Commission", as you don't really know how the picture is going to turn out before buying it. It would be a bit riskier, but at the same time you might end up with better picture for less~


I will still think about each aspect written in this journal, and I will keep you guys updated on it! I hope we can have some discussion in the comments (or feel free to note me!), because I'd love to hear what you think ^^

I hope y'all have a nice weekend~!
