VERY IMPORTANT: COMMISSION CHANGES + PRICE INCREASES IN 2...
5 years ago
YO.
Yo, long time no update! So this is basically just a 'hey, commission methods are changing to be more smooth' announcement. As stated in the title, these changes will be effective in 2021, so for the remainder of the month, things won't be changed.
So, onto what's different:
FLAT COLOR, SCREENTONE, & SHADED.
Flat color & screentone commission options will be remaining the same, but I will be removing "cell shaded" & "full CG shaded" options in exchange for a single shading style!
Said style is the one I've been using more in personal art or YCHs. It's a bit of a soft cell shaded hybrid, but I'd really like to focus on it only going forward.
Here's a few examples:

BACKGROUNDS/SCENE COMMISSIONS
I've found this year, that I've had some anxiety when it comes to specific scenes being commissioned, where bodies are cropped for composition-sake. But then I end up worrying if people will be upset paying for a full body when, say, the feet are cropped out.
So, to solve this issue, I'll be adding a 4th commission option called "scene" commissions.
Essentially, all normal commissions will be whatever amount of body paid for, 100%. However, they will not be eligible for backgrounds outside of simple pattern BG type things.
Scene commissions, however, will be the only option for backgrounds, & the pricing will be more focused on the idea asked for. This way, if characters are cropped more or in a specific way for the sake of the image, it can be priced appropriately & I won't have to worry about feeling like I'm "shorting" the client for a better result.
EX: this would be a full body commission

And this would be a "scene" commission:

Those are really the 2 big changes! Chibis will stay the same aside from also switching to a single shading option, & reference sheets will be the same as always.
Telegram stickers will be permanently discontinued unless I randomly feel like taking some. I just don't find them fun to do anymore, & often times the pay is not worth the stress for them.
There will be another slight price increase, & probably brand new price sheet for everything in 2021.
SO, FINALLY:
If you want to commission anything that's going to be discontinued by next year (basically anything cell or full CG shaded), I suggest you do so this month before it's gone! I won't be taking commissions with old shading styles once the change is made.
Aaaand that's it. Hope y'all have been holding up well in this crazy year. Thanks for reading!

Shame the style would be discontinued, but I don't blame you for having a new shading style.
