Update on commissions (Patreon)
Content
Obviously I'm working on coms and stuff for you guys at the same time. One thing that I've realized in my old age since so many of my coms are private is that moving forward I'm going to have to start charging a small extra fee to have a comm be private.
The reason being is that; coms can be portfolio pieces.
What I mean by that is some of my best work I've done has been for private commissions and if I'm thinking about my art from a business point of view then I'm basically not showing things I'm capable of by having the commission be private.
So obviously I'm not taking coms again probably until June, but when I do I will probably start charging a small additional fee for the com if the person wants it to be private, or asking them if they are okay if I use assets from said com for other work; i.e. poses, backgrounds, ect.
I'm not trying to create some kinda "you should feel bad for wanting a private comm" situation, not at all. In fact I don't mind, we live in a world full of overly judgemental people who can't wait to tell someone they are horrible for wanting like a drawing of Jessica Rabbit's feet smooshing against a guy's bulge-- so I understand wanting things to stay between you and the artist.
Just understand that if you do want that kind of work from me, I'll probably be charging an extra 10 dollars USD portfolio exemption fee. None of this is set in stone, but its something I'm realizing as I pump out art that I'm genuinely happy with and I can't share it with everyone.
