Commissions: Frequently Asked Questions
2 weeks ago
General
Just wanted to address some of the questions I've gotten since opening commissions! Take a look, hopefully if you have questions, this will answer them.
How do I know that a message is actually from you?
This one's important: I will NEVER message you out of the blue asking you if you want a commission. Any communication will stay on whatever platform you started it on, unless we need to switch platforms, at which point the switch will be coordinated on the original platform so that you can verify that the new contact is also me. I will NOT start a new message thread or reach out from a completely different place in order to discuss payment, all communication will stay in the original thread.
What will/won't you draw?
I'll draw nearly anything, and there's no risk in asking! If it's something that I'm uncomfortable posting, then it may be subject to the same fee as a private commission, for the same reason.
Why are your prices the way they are?
I've been told (and seen) plenty of artists will include extra characters for a lower rate than the first, or include a more detailed background upfront, or any number of other differences from my pricing structure. My prices are cheaper than average and are set up in such a way that you only pay for what you want, not "free" extras. The artists that "discount" extra characters are typically able to do that because the first character has the cost of the background work baked into the price. My character prices are discounted as-is, so the pricing is more similar than you may expect.
Can I get a commission that stays private?
Yep, you sure can! That said, you will be charged a 50% price increase, since I'm missing out on the exposure that the piece may have brought.
Do I need to give credit?
Typically, though this is pretty standard. Make sure that when posted, you mention me, preferably by linking to my FA page in some way.
How long is your queue?
I don't really have one, if you want a commission, please ask! Even in the case that I take multiple commissions at a time, I'm attempting to get any commissions completed within a week of accepting them. If I feel like I can't finish the work in a reasonable time frame, I won't accept the commission.
How long have you been drawing?
I've been drawing for a couple years, practicing in my off time while also getting occasional lessons and guidance from my boyfriend. I've only recently felt good enough about my art to share and post it, but judging by the reactions I've gotten, it seems to be going well. ^^
How do you accept payment?
I take payment through Paypal. At the point that your commission has been accepted and the details agreed on, you'll receive a Paypal link to pay through, after which I'll start work!
