⚠️ Trigger warning ⚠️
(Not sugar coating it with a joke this time)
Okay it's for realsies, I finally took my son and I left. I'm currently in a temporary home, where I only have 1 room, and I have 6 weeks to come up with first and last before I'm homeless with a baby. This room just has a dresser, table, bed, couch and a TV. I'm not even allowed a kettle or toaster in my room and I have to wear a mask whenever I leave, even just to go to the washroom.
When I had this baby I had planned to never open commissions again because I was going to be a full time housewife and stay at home mom... funny how that dream went up in flames eh? 😘
I used to have a commission turnaround of like 5-6 days, but the sheer quantity of money I need to get so fast, and the very very little time I have on the daily to work (usually like 3h a day max), ontop of the fact of how inconvenient it is to try to both; be around my baby but ALSO keep all this art away from a 1 year old.... yea these are going to maybe take a year to get to.
Aaaaanyway, I've worked out what I'm going to do!
There will be a queue and then slots.
Whoever just asks for a commission will get a spot at the bottom of the queue, then they wait their turn until i come to them for details about the commission and payment. *You will have 24 hours to respond. Either to bail, pay for the commission, or go back to the bottom of the queue, after 24 hours I will go down the queue list*. Once they pay, they will get *at least* a sketch within week for the ONE AND ONLY CHANCE TO ASK FOR EDITS (this is traditional art in ink and watercolor paint so I can't exactly edit it later, only digitally, but if I try to edit it after it's done it will LOOK edited).
Ideally, I'm going to do the sketch, wait for review/approval, and then ink them in batches. But hopefully the batches won't be very large, i don't like having a long to do list, let alone a lot of unfinished art waiting for grubby fingers to sneakily smear spaghetti all over them while I literally turn around for 5 secconds.
Then once I have the time and space, I'll watercolor them, then I'll go over the details and shading with pencil crayon. Once done, they will be shipped in waterproof packaging, free of charge to anywhere in North America.
🖼
The paintings will be done on 13"x18" 60lb cardstock (about the size of an open binder, or slightly bigger than 2 standard peices of paper).
👥/👤/📰
You will have the choice of either 2 characters with a simple background OR 1 highly detailed character with a detailed background OR a comic page.
✉📦📬
Shipping to anywhere in the USA/Canada will be included in the price. Anywhere else you only have to pay half (unless it turns out to be less than twice the regular price).
💰💰💰💰
Now the reason you are actually here; the price!
I'm thinking a flat rate rate of $100 USD.
BUT, anyone who called dibs on a slot before I've made any examples only has to pay $70usd

I'm currently decompressing so I'm not sure if I can start on these this week, so I've been trying to join as many furry discord servers as I can so I can chat it up and maybe eventually advertise if I ever need to
