So my recent commissions prices have been pretty decent for the most part. Been getting more bang for my buck in terms of income. I will preface though that there's still one thing I haven't considered when it comes to one element that remains of my old prices.
I usually allowed a batch of commissions to be done with just once instance of upgrade payments. For example, if someone wanted 2 to 3 flat colored images of a shared theme or sequence, I'd just charge the whole thing as just 1 instances of flat coloring, rather than each individual piece. I haven't had any problem doing things this way for a while.
But recently, people have been asking for MUCH LARGER batches and sequences, and quite frankly, I don't think charging just one upgrade instance for such large batches is fair to myself. Feeling burnout again and time slipping away.
So to those who commission me, I want to ask you.
Should I stop this unwritten policy of mine, and just charge for inks, color, and shading, for each individual piece in a sequence, or should I simply put a cap on it? Perhaps Limit the amount one can get in a commission batch or sequence? If so, 3 images would probably be the limit, barring any alts of minor changes.
I want to be upfront with everyone before I make any decision. Please give me any honest feedback you have.
Thank you for your time in advance, and for the support.

There are artists who have given a soft cap and then said that depending on details asked for, the quotes will change due to time and efforts involved. (Additional characters, type of background, number of images/pages, sketch vs line, etc.) So perhaps see about modifying language that way so that your commissioners know up front that if they want to make things more complex, it will cost more and require discussion with you to set a reasonable fee?
