Commission Things, December 2020
5 years ago
So with the posting of the latest pic, that's my current batch all done that I started way back in July. A big thank you to all you once again for choosing me to draw for you, and extra thanks for your patience if you were further down the list and had to wait longer for me to get around to your projects!
So, I will start up on commissions again in the future, but it won't be immediate. Not to worry though, I'm thinking sometime in January, I just want to take things easy for the rest of December and possibly work on my own personal projects too in the meantime.
Regarding those commissions, I'm thinking of two changes moving forward:
One: I'll have ten slots available at a time instead of five, but no more waitlist. Overall, that's a batch of 10 compared to this batch of 15. A good deal of doodles done, but less time to wait in between for windows of time where I take on new projects.
and Two: Instead of the "first come, first serve" method I had been doing for taking on commissions, I'm going to take a page out of Gettar's book and have a window of time where folks send me their ideas and I pick a bunch and contact those individuals further. I like this idea since it allows me to get an idea of the project scope beforehand and it allows those who wanted to get some art from me a little extra time to contact me (this last batch for instance had quite a few people who were just unfortunately a little slower to contact me and they missed out). Seems like a decent middle ground to me.
I'll be sure to remind everyone of these changes when I next open up for commissions. Until then, I wish you all a good rest of the year. It's been a weird and strange year to say the least, so I hope you all get at least some R&R in at this years' end.
Cheers!
