Commissions?
4 years ago
Heyo!
There is this problem I have been dealing with since I began doing requests, which is that I am incredibly slow with doing them.
A few reasons for this is that I take little time to actually do something on them, have other things to do that are higher on my list of priorities or have personal things going on like school.
I know from myself that instead of doing this, I would rather do that, or whenever I am doing this, I get distracted by that.
It has always been like that for me. There is a reason for that, which I would rather not explain here online on the internet.
I have been thinking about a solution for this and one thing that came into my mind was commissions.
After thinking about this for a solid few months, I am still unsure wether I should actually start doing them, because
1. I feel like I am not ready for commissions;
2. I do not know if commissions are even going to help with my motivation issue;
3. I have no idea how to actually get commissions to work and receive the payment. There is also this thing with dollars and euros
being completely different;
4. I have no idea if people actually want to pay for my drawings.
I already got some things sketched out in my head like the prices, which I also am unsure about.
icon: €2 ($2,42), sketch: €5 ($6,05), lined and colored: €10 ($12,11), lined, colored and shaded: €15 ($18,16)
Are these prices too high, or too low? I would love to hear someone's opinion on this.
I would also greatly appreciate if someone could give an opinion on this entire thing itself.
Should I open commissions? Maybe optional commissions and still leave requests open? Or keep it at requests?
I hope anyone will see this and help me make a decision.
Thank you for reading this and have a great day!
(edit: if I ever open commissions, the people of whom I still have to finish the requests won't be affected by this change)

I don't know if it'll mean much, and I can't really put ideas or points towards how much stuff should cost or how to receive, but having looked through your stuff, I personally think your art would definitely be worth commissioning!!
