Since it's been 8 years since I made a journal I might as well do so now to try and explain the constant spiral that is balancing IRL work with Commission artwork and personal artwork. Don't let yourself ever get backed up on commissions Like I have it's the worst D:

As many of you know I started commissions not long ago like say about a year and a half a go I've been wanting to complete them as quickly as I can but I've hit a bit of a snag:
Too many people are asking for commissions at once.

Now normally I roll with it but it's gotten to the point where I can't get commissions done in a reasonable time frame if I have more than 5 commission slots filled
I currently have 10 commissions I need to complete:
1. Mobius Grid "Turbo Line" of Avatar models/w clothing and accessories (Female done)
(male done) (Outfits mostly completed)
2. Mike Murdok and Natalia ($400) - not started
3. Tails face flex upgrade - paid for
4. Tikal (just needs textues now) and Pachacamac (Uvmapping, rigging and textures)
5. Imperial guards and exo gear and Halon fix and sol fox fix (Novarek) $300 already paid for
6. Selena Skunk and Keryo Wolfe (Keryo)-Not started
7. Tails Wrist computer- Half completed need to make another component that will be used in the as well as more details
8. Rotor/Boomer- Almost finished needs to have a jacket rigged and then exported to be compiled and then textures
9. Skeleton rerig- on hold until I get more experience with autorigger or find a solution
10. Sonic's mom- very close to being done

So this is me saying that commissions for models are closed until that ENTIRE list is complete I would like to state that I also do artwork commissions but everyone seems so interested in the models side of things that it seems to be glanced over almost immediately.

Yup that's right I decided it was time to start up a patreon, maybe I'll finally get time to work on models ^^ Because Walmart definitely doesn't help much :U

Just a reminder I still do commissions but this should help ease the pricing on some of my model commissions.

So yeah Models are surprisingly my most asked for thing as such my modeling queue for them is maxed (Sorry about that)
As such It's come to my attention (and the nagging of everyone who points it out whether it be at home or at work) that I am apparently charging too little for model commissions. And it's painfully obvious that I can't make a living on commissions worth $30 a piece. I've also discovered that it takes me at least two weeks to get a full completed model with textures done. (including compiling for Source engine stuff like sfm or gmod) As such I've come to the decision to raise the prices on modeling commissions out of necessity and split it into two separate categories One for the initial modeling (Model/UV/Rigging) and one for the texturing of said models.
That being said the changes to the prices are as follows:
Modeling commissions:
Modeling and UV mapping: $50 (Several days worth of work)
Rigging: $50 (Several days worth of work if there is no rigging to begin with)
Texturing: $100 (1 weeks worth of work)
Full modeling and texturing: $200 (expect at least 2 weeks for the model to be completed)

That being said there are those who currently are on the list for commissions Please note that these price changes are for after the current list of model commissions is completed. Any new commissions after said list are the new commissions pricing.

Tl'dr: Model commissions prices are changing from $30 to $200 out of necessity and are being split into modeling, rigging, and texturing categories. Model commissioners currently on the list still only have to pay $30 and any new commissions are the new prices.

I rarely post journals I know but I do have a request for people to help out a good friend of mine who's barely scraping by as it is

http://www.gofundme.com/dk8dq4

Yes there is a typo and no there isn't a set amount you have to donate. At this point the amount people have donated isn't cutting the butter. and yes I have donated to help him out.

THis person is doing commissions
