How about a little update. Been a busy month.

One of my part time jobs is coming to a close so I want to put this opportunity to remind you guys that my commissions are open and by next year, the prices WILL go up a bit. I do feel like my art is more valuable then it has been previously and I let it stay low for a year so some people could get it during a recession. It really did work out because I don't often take commissions and I'm too slow at drawing to really be there for people. The prices aren't going up because of inflation, it's just what you're supposed to do as you start doing more work.

Maybe I can give some feedback about getting commissions from me. People who have paid me and I've completed their pic, you guys have been awesome. Most of the time, I don't have problems with commissioners. What I do still get, and everyone goes through this, are the ones that sort of BAIT you into a commission.

IE:

Them: Are you open for commissions?

Me: yeah what you want

Often times I'm a day late in checking the notes but sometimes they are WEEKS late in replying to me.

Them: My OC with this Character

Me: Ok sure got details and references?

Them: Yeah like a comic of them doing all these actions and sex poses

Me: ok it's gonna take a while and cost this much.

Then I never hear from them again OR

Them: What will it cost to get just this one pose then

Me: *tells them the new price*

Them: OK

and THEN I never hear from them again. Or even better they'll say "ok that sounds good" but still disappear.

I'm 100% ok with someone saying, they can't afford it because you need food or to pay other bills that month. Take care of yourself 1st. Just I'm keenly aware of the "scammer" type mentality of certainly people dropping into your DMs hoping you do all the work for no money for them. That comes with the territory of saying "commissions open" and it triggers a bot to find you.

I'm not hunting for commissions to do really. I know some people live for the hussel, but I just get distracted by my own ideas too often and equally I play video games a lot. What I should be doing are these things:

Be insanely thankful to the subscribe star people who are patient and tolerant to my random submissions that I give them. I really don't know how to run a service like that for a living without getting bored and it's pretty cool that they're just throwing 5$ at me every month without a problem. I do offer to take off 10$ for any adult theme commission they want to ask from me.

Then be looking for more art jobs in general. My work is printable and graphic design friendly. I love doing logos for people and I don't really know how to network myself around to get those things. I've always tried to do contests and stuff, but I never actually get picked and it's always been a let down. If I ever had a fursona, it would be a skunk, because I'm cute and friendly, but that white stripe and the stink of someone difficult to work with repels them.

ANYWAY

This is the price sheet until the end of the year. I'm about to finish up the last one I owe someone and I would like to get a few more. Take care of yourselves out there first.
