Need your help...

Journal Entry: Fri Aug 21, 2009, 8:49 AM



I've been thinking for awhile about the best way to word this and how much detail to go into, and I still haven't reached a conclusion, but I can't wait any longer. Just know that I really need your support right now, if possible.

I'm opening up special priced commissions for both digital drawings and charms/jewelry. I'm in desperate need of your help, so please consider if you are interested in anything from me...

:star:Charm Commissions:star:
Variations of what I've done or original requests. Check my gallery for examples!

(Prices may be less/more based on complexity.)
:bulletpink:Charms - $3-8
:bulletpink:Rings - $5-6
:bulletpink:Earrings - $4-6
:bulletpink:Pendants - $5-7
:bulletpink:Bracelets - $7-8
:bulletpink:Necklaces - $7-8
:bulletpink:Figures - $3-10


:star:Digital Commissions:star:
For your original character or fanart. Buyers will receive a large scale electronic copy of their purchase.

:bulletpink::bulletpink::bulletpink:Type A - $3: Basic character drawing with cel or minimal shading/detail. Minimal Background.

:bulletpink:Type A.2 - $5: Same as Type A, only with a more detailed background.

Examples:

You can choose the style.



:bulletpink::bulletpink::bulletpink:Type B - $10: Detailed character drawing with detailed shading, etc. Minimal Background.

:bulletpink:Type B.2 - $12: Same as Type B, only with a more detailed background.

Examples:




Offering $2 1st class US postal mail shipping to anywhere in the US on all charms/jewelry, regardless of how much you order! This also includes free delivery confirmation if you like. (Note me for shipping outside the US.)

Please, if you are interested, note me! I accept Paypal, money orders, you can even shove a couple of dollars in some paper, stick it an envelope and mail it to me. Whatever works for you...

You may not think a few dollars for something could help, but you'd be surprised how much food you can buy at your local market when you shop around...

Hope you have luck with your commissions. ^^

Seeing how others have placed their prizes, I've thought on how I would price mine for the time being, only doing (MS Paint drawings) digital work, till I get a Scanner:
-$2.00 for any partial, one character
-$3.00 for any full-body, one character with no background; extra $1 for every additional character
-$2.00 extra for the inclusion of a background

That's all I've thought out so far...

Though I've got a couple of questions: Commissions are art that people are paying one to do, right? Like instead of just a regular request, you get paid to do it instead? And you upload the art in the highest quality possible, right? Or do you have to mail it to them? Just wondering...

Good luck with your commissions!!
I know of this thing called the Interactive Mall by *RainCookie.
She is a popular artist and the interactive mall gets a lot of views. All you do is design a "shop" for the mall and there is info on comissions...look at the deviation for info.

I know that people will be interested in commissioning you if your work gets seen. ^^ You are very talented. :)

Thank you!

Sounds like you're on a roll! Go for it!


Correct... Commissions are exactly like requests, only you get paid to do them. Yours is the last free request I'll be doing because of my desperate situation right now... So just think of all you can make since you get lots of requests! Because I'm sure people would pay you for them!
As far as uploading goes, my rule of thumb is this: I upload the picture in the usual smaller format I always do, and I email (or send a link like I did with your Nami pic) of the higher resolution of the file. That way only the person who paid for it has access to the full, large pretty image ^^ I feel that's most fair anyway... Of course, I always ask the person's permission to upload it to my gallery in the first place. Since they paid me for it, I feel they have the right for the rest of the world to not see it, unless they want them to.
With digital art, you don't have to mail anything unless you specifically want to sell prints of your art. And that's a whole different party...
Does that all make sense?

Thank you SO much! I sincerely appreciate the info you shared with me and your super sweet comment! I just finished noting *RainCookie and I'm going to design my shop this weekend, so hopefully I'll be included!

:hug:

Oh, and with a commission, I tend to think the person has a little more to say on the specifics. Like a request might be "draw my character" whereas a commission might be "draw my character in a battle pose" or something like that...

No problem. :nod:

Interesting. I did know that uploading paid commission works is entirely up to the one who requested it.
Thank you very much for the detailed explanation, as it did clear up things for me. ^_^

I see. I'll keep that in mind when I open up commissions then. Thanks again. =)

You're very welcome!!
Of course you will be included~ even if you weren't very good, she would still include you because she accepts artist of all skill levels. :) (but you are good, so it wouldn't be a problem anyway :XD:)
I'm glad I coud be of help!
