2021 Commission Plans and Update
5 years ago
Hey friends! It's really been just over a year since I started this whole thing, hasn't it? Kinda mindboggling, all said! I've met some great people and I'm really starting to feel at home with this whole furry thingy. ^w^ I've drawn a lot more this year than I have since I graduated highschool, and I think it shows. I've also learned a lot about digital art and improved my knowledge of the programs I use and just general art skills. I've also learned so much more about the commission process!
2020 has also hit me hard in a lot of other places. I didn't start the year off well in terms of finances and as time went on my other job became less and less practical for me to continue doing (car maintenance expensive & other life demands). As of August this year, art has essentially been my only source of income. With my current prices, I have to take on a much larger workload each month than I feel I am reasonably able to do in order to meet bare minimum expenses. I also need to start getting myself in a position to save money. I feel like adjusting my pricing system will help me both reach income goals as well as give me an opportunity to take more commissions with a less intense work demand.
As such, I will be changing my current pricing system so that flat colors are now the default price point. That means when you order a commission from me, additions will be calculated using the flat color price as a base. Cel shading will be an additional 25% fee and soft shading will be an additional 50% fee. Colored sketches are at a 50% discount and will be my most accessible price tier.
In short with numbers
My new base prices for flat color commission types will be as follows:
Fullbody = $80 USD
Partial/Badge = $40 USD
Mawshots = $60 USD
Comic Pages/Sequences (2-5 panels) = $120-$200 USD
In addition, my Terms of Service are getting a complete overhaul! Some of this is going forward as an artist, as I expand my income streams and turn this more into a career. In the future I plan on making use of some print on demand service or bulk ordering physical merch to sell. It all depends!
My SubscribeStar will also be undergoing a few changes! I'll be adding tiers for discounts and those who wish to KEEP the current pricing system and have guaranteed chances at commissions each month. There will be a themed SubscribeStar piece each month that subscribers can make suggestions for and vote on! I'll also be doing my best to post more WIPS and doodles there publicly for people who don't have time for my discord server. As commission demand grows from multiple places across the internet, I plan to also begin making use of a system that prioritizes new customers, those who make use of my Subscribestar, and those who are in my Discord server; in that order. Any remaining slots will be first come-first serve.
This will all be on my new, shiny 2021 Trello Board! I'll be posting a journal with the link when the changes go into effect in Janurary. ^^
Subscribestar members starting at the $10 tier will be seeing discounts as well as other neat benefits! Monthly Subscribestar theme pieces, commission slot and adopt preclaims, and a chance at a cel shaded piece each month.

TL;DR -
In January I will have a new TOS and my commissions are changing, bigtime! On average you will see a 50% increase in price, with the base 'quality' level of commissions being changed from cel shading to flat colors. Commissions with two characters will still see no additional charge. Vore alts WILL be charged.Subscribestar members starting at the $10 tier will be seeing discounts as well as other neat benefits! Monthly Subscribestar theme pieces, commission slot and adopt preclaims, and a chance at a cel shaded piece each month.
