IMPORTANT: Updated commission rates breakdown.
🕑 Added 2018-10-01 00:05:27 +0000 UTC Hello guys!Thanks so much again for your support.
As promised, here's a detailed list of the new commission rates, with a comparison of the previous prices (which were in effect for 2 years.)
If you have any doubts on these changes please refer to the Monthly report for July 2018. And without further ado, here's the breakdown:
Base commission rate (1 character. No specifics) : $30 USD
Previous rate: $10 USD
Going by this: 1 character is $30 USD --- 2 characters is $60 USD --- 3 characters is $90 USD and so on.
If you add specifics to this base rate: +10 USD (Specifics include and are not limited to: Pose, expression, different outfit than the default one, accessories like glasses, animal ears, etc.)
Previous rate: $10 USD
If you want it to be nude or lewd: +20 USD
Previous rate: $10 USD
If you want a detailed background (landscape, room, etc): +20 USD
(Backgrounds are time consuming, so expect the ETA to extend when requesting one.)
This is a new feature, so it doesn't have a prior rate.
So considering all that, here's an example:
"I want Nagato and Mikuru in bunny girl outfit doing the bartender pose. I also want their breasts and nethers to be fully exposed and a casino background."
2 characters: $60 USD
Specifics: +$10 USD
Nudity: +$20 USD
Background: +20 USD
--------------------------
Total: $110 USD
The above example is of course if you want to be incredibly specific and precise. A simpler variation would be:
"I want Suguha and Kazuto together. I leave the rest to you."
2 characters: $60 USD
--------------------------
Total: $60 USD
As you can see, the least specific you are, the lower the rate is. This in turn means the work and time invested in the piece is substantially lower too. So you are charged based on how much work/time I need to put out.
*remember that starting with Tier 3, commissions have discounts*
Dakimakura rates:
Unlike regular commissions, dakimakura have fixed rates regardless of specifics. and they are priced based on the number of sides.
1 side dakimakura: $80 USD*
previous rate: $50 USD
2 side dakimakura: $160 USD*
previous rate: $100 USD
*New rates have been slightly boosted after talks with regular dakimakura commissioners.
That's all for the updated rates.
Please keep a copy of this list for future reference when commissioning.
Also remember that commissions are bi-monthly and I always notify patrons in advance when I open them.
Thanks so much for your support!
Kind regards, Helvetica.

You seem to be slightly misinformed. 1. The price boost in rates WAS SUGGESTED AND ADVISED BY PATRONS. 2. You clearly have no idea how much time and effort a fully polished artwork entails to consider this a sharp spike. 3. You've yet to place a commission. I suggest you don't speak for the others.

Well the most basic rule of economics is that if demand is so high the supply can't keep up, you shoot up the price to equilibrate it :) Hopefully those who were on the verge of considering one, but now won't be able to because of doubled/tripled prices won't be too upset about it.
