Animation Commission Slot (Test, Open) (Patreon)

Hi everyone :) As I've animated more and more over time, I've felt comfortable with offering animations as commissions, doing them here and there as they come.

I wanted to officially offer a slot, since I assume that most aren't aware that I will do animations in the form of commissions.

A year ago, I had a ROUGH outline of how I would charge for these. Needless to say, I've learned and adapted, and have changed my procedure.

How to Get the Slot?

Serious inquiries only, with serious expectations. Message me here, on Discord, or on Twitter, with a screenshot of your name, regardless of being a paid member or not. Once it has been solidified, I will label the title as "closed".

How much?

Always a tough question, regardless of how long I've been doing this.

First, I will ask you of your idea. This will either result in me declining, or accepting and moving forward.

-My base point will be $13 per second, based on one model and the camera. IF the idea at hand is on the complex side, there may be an up-charge to compensate (Advanced physics, growing, expansion, etc). 

-$10 per second for each additional "dynamic" model. These are models that will be active through the animation, and not just background characters.

- $25 (Not per second, just as whole) for each additional "static" model. These are models that have light animation, such as tinies or background characters. 

-$10 for sound effects.

IF the idea allows it, you can request a VR version of the animation for 30% of the original price, on top of the finished normal animation. NOTE: This involves NO changes to the animation, other than setting the camera into a 360/VR state.

Why these prices?

These are cheaper compared to my last slot opening since I have improved overall, especially with speed. But I also wish to remain fair to myself. 

-I render in 4k

-Animations are rendered in Cycles, retaining fidelity and potential realism. This is a long process to render. 

- I do my best to apply quality physics simulation, though still learning more as I go.

What Can I Get?

- We will obviously discuss details in DMs; I will ask a lot of questions!

- This time around, there's no set max length. 

- Just about anything I've done so far, but will also attempt other things. If I am not capable of taking on the idea due to current skill or assets, I will let you know. 

- You MUST give me every detail prior to me accepting the animation. You can only ask for slight changes as I'm working on it (I will send WIPs), such as changes in facial expressions, subtle pose changes, background adjustment, etc. I will NOT animate a new sequence once started. If you wish for a large change (such as throwing in breast expansion last second, etc), then there will be an additional charge. You will have plenty of time to see the animation in progress, and I will send a low quality version for you to view before any rendering.

- If there are any instances where there is a problem, I will let it be known. I will also fix any mistake that comes up through my own doing, free of charge and no complaint. 

Things to Note?

- I can be very busy outside of content creation, so it's likely that this can be a multiple day, up to a week, procedure.

- I could not offer discounts last time for tiers, but this time is different. This ONLY applies to Lulu's Sugar Dealer ($10),  Lulu's Sugar Supplier ($25), and the Lulu's Honey Buns ($35) tiers.

Lulu's Sugar Dealers: Can add sound effects for free.

Lulu's Sugar Suppliers: Can add sound effects for free. First 2 seconds are free (Only for the "main" model and camera, other additions still apply for charges) (Minimum animation length is 10 seconds)

Lulu's Honey Buns: Can add sound effects for free. First 3 seconds are free (Same criteria as previous tier) (Minimum animation length is 10 seconds). VR version, if applicable, only costs 20% of the original animation cost. The first static model is free. 

This heavily rewards those in the Lulu's Honey Buns tier. I WILL ask for proof of your tier, unless I'm already aware.

- Payment MUST be delivered before the commission starts. If there is an error with the production of the animation, I will refund in full.

- I can deny any idea.
Who Can I get Animated?

- With my current workflow, I will ONLY animate models that are in the .pmx (MMD) format and/or Blender IK rigging format. Models that are in FBX, XPS, etc are difficult for me to animate, with the exception of static models. My model list will be attached, and please ask if you have questions. I will also accept models as long as they fit the above criteria. 

Please note that if there are physics involved in the animation involving a model that is "new" to my level of physics, I will have to add physics to the model. This can take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours. I will also let you know if I'm able to do so.

I believe that's all that needs to be covered here; if there are any more concerns, please feel free to bring them up, or I will do so if needed.

Please note that again, I can be busy offline (I work full time as well), so please be aware messages may be delayed.

Please message me with any questions, and I look forward to serving! <3
