Rules on Commissions

Okay, I have to set some rules. Srsly.

All right, when I do commissions (yeah I do them sometimes! ...They don't always get posted here...) I try to do pricing on them on a picture by picture basis, depending on what the person wants. I'm not setting a basic "one character, this price" deal, because some characters are very simple and fun to draw, and some characters have a ridiculous costume design (does cloth even do that? Can they move without tripping?) and irritating hair and intricate tattoos and really maybe we should just throw those characters to the sharks and start fresh.

Um, moving on.

So, I don't want to change that, but I do need to lay down some guidelines and rules and all of that stuff.

So, I don't really do backgrounds.

I don't like drawing more than two characters.

I don't like drawing extremely (unnecessarily) complicated clothing.

I don't like drawing fight scenes (sometimes).

I don't like drawing blood and gore.

I don't like drawing porn (unless it's interesting porn! 8D ...just kidding...)

This doesn't mean I WON'T draw these things. It just means that you're going to have to pay extra. If you want me to color it with exceeding...um...time (like this picture --> [link] ) you're going to have to be PATIENT. And I mean PATIENT. Especially if you have more than two characters or any of the other things mentioned above.

Now, if you want to change your commission mid commission, as long as I think that it's comparable to the picture that you already requested, I won't change the price. If it's simpler, I still won't change the price. No refunds, k? That's another rule. If it's going to be MORE WORK and take MORE TIME from OTHER PICTURES, then it will cost you MORE.

Also, tradition art? I will ONLY DO BLACK AND WHITE TRADITIONAL PICTURES. Digital pictures 'cause less mess (and stress! Ohoho I'm witty!) for me, so I will only do colored pictures on the computer. K THX! :D

Okay, I think that's all I really wanted to say.


In summary!

If I feel confident in my ability of what you want me to draw it will be cheaper.

If I don't feel confident in drawing what you want it will be more simply because it will take me more time, effort, and/or research.

More than two characters will be more.

Higher quality coloring will be more and will TAKE TIME. A LOT OF IT.

NO traditional pictures unless they are pencil only.

If you change in mid commission your price may go up, but it WILL NOT GO DOWN.

NO REFUNDS.

Okay, I think I made my point across. HAVE A GOOD DAY! 8D

As for good stuff, if it takes me a while, I'll provide you status updates, but only when I have time.
