Commission Update + New Commissions going forward!
🕑 Added 2022-03-21 02:00:52 +0000 UTCHey hey everyone!
Thought I’d update everyone on how commissions are going and what I plan to do for commissions going forward– as I hope the title suggests…
Currently, I am working hard to finish the last batch of commissions; ones that I am hoping to be done with soon. Most have some sort of sketch work already started while others are a bit more complicated and need a little time– but generally I feel I wont be taking too much longer to finish them– if my current plan works out the way I hope! With all of that said; I am wanting to open commissions up now that some IRL work is finally wrapped up! HOWEVER, I plan on changing how I do commissions going forward– namely on how I go about doing commissions rather than changing the price or etc (though, there is a slight price change I will talk about later).
As I mentioned above; I still have work to do so I will not be taking on a new list for commissions going forward, but rather taking on new commissions one at a time as I can. My plan is to add a new commission right as I finish another– taking them one at a time rather than a long list of commissions that IRL work eventually ends up extending their general duration far past that I had planned. Basically; I have been taking on too many projects to get anything done in a reasonable time with everything I already do. This should also keep me more active year around rather than what I have been like before– and I feel is far easier to do than a long list of multiple commissions working all at the same time. Of course, I will be working out some general rules I will need to add and etc. to this as I go, but in general; starting now I am officially “open” for commissions– though, the first 2 commissions I will be taking will be YCH ones!
Sometime Monday or Tuesday (03/21 or 03/22) I will be posting two YCH’s that will be part of this new wave of commissions and will be worked on in April as the start to my new wave of work. Previous commissions will also be worked on alongside these– my hope is a 1 to 1 of old and new being finished at the same time! And, with YCH ideas already mostly made in terms of their concept; I can get it done quicker than something straight up new AND be able to finish one or two of the other commissions in that time frame. Another thing I want to do is just solely focus on one piece each week to get completed rather than be as scatterbrained as I have been… More focus on getting a piece done than trying to get everything done all at once may be the better strategy.
As for the added cost I briefly mentioned; I will have to start adding some sort of tax/fee to the commissions going forward– likely a 10% of the total commission added to the final cost due to Paypal fees (so $100 commissions will final out at like... $110 now at 10%!), tax changes and etc. that was always pushed onto us but I now have to start applying going forward. Not ideal I know but it has to be done, otherwise it's my own ass they come after once I start reporting financials and just how much they eat out of everything. I was able to stave it away last and previous years– but this one I likely won't, so I have too now... I hope you all can understand.
Hopefully this wasn't too much of a read! TLDR version; Still working on old commissions, plan to get them done alongside more 1 at a time commission structure going forward! Also, plan to pay a little more due to fee’s and etc I have been eating for years. Any questions; please ask below~!
