Contemplating some price changes
4 years ago
I want to be as transparent with this as necessary so that people can understand why and not just think it has to do with popularity or artistic trends or anything.
I am considering some ideas on price changes, over the 10 years I've been doing this, I've barely changed my prices if any at all since the day I started.
With my growth that has taken quite a toll on me when you do a lot of transformation work and such, people buying from you in bulk. Keeping a grasp on things is a lot harder than people think.
Overall I get bigger commissions a lot, which I absolutely love to do and I don't exactly want them to stop.
However what I DO want is that if I take on a weeks worth of work I get a weeks worth of pay.
Now don't go thinking I've decided on it yet, I have a few ideas I need to consider, but I do want you all to know it's a real possibility and if it does happen I'll be doing it under the goal and idea that I want EVERYONE to be able to commission me. So if they change it shouldn't affect smaller commissions as much.

I'm in the "Artists need to eat too" camp on this; if you feel like your current level of skill/experience rates more than you're charging (and for the record, I think this) you should absolutely raise your prices.
