Regarding commission price changes in July
4 years ago
Just a bit to mention about upcoming price changes that you see happening every year or two . This time, it's mainly around background and stuff.
For the past few months, I have been picking up some tricks and lessons and those that watch my stream might notice how much longer it takes to finish a piece now, easily a few hours added for a simpler one. Because of this, I'm slightly raising the base price.
The main changes will be around how I usually do background pricing though. At the moment, I don't really factor in the background price that much because I am awful at estimating it so I usually just slap 5-15 on it and call it a day even on the more detailed ones. There might be some more changes based on currency value (I usually price my stuff in THB already before converting it to USD for payment).
But with background being a lot more common, I'm getting more used to estimating how long they usually take now. To make it easier to estimate for both side, I will likely go with a tier system of 0 (gradient stuff) to prolly 30 but most of the time, the price will not be as high as it depends on what is being drawn. Say you go for a $30 tier but your characters are covering over half of it, it will be reduced to like $15-20 instead depending on what are shown and how hard it is to blend the characters into the setting.
So overall
Background will have a tier system instead for a base price with examples for references.
Base price changes are
Headshot will remain at 25 / 35
Bustshot will be going up to 30 / 45
Waistdown will be going up to 40 / 60
Reference sheet will be going up to 75
Sticker and chibi will have a more proper complexity fees
This will take effect next month (July) so there's no worry about it with this month stuff.
