COMMISSIONS NOW CLOSED! (Patreon)

Current commission status: 
CLOSED at 8:01 pm CST

I will update the commission status on the TITLE above  with a time stamp when slots close.
I will not respond to ANY emails until after slots have closed.
I also promise to leave slots open for at least THIRTY MINUTES regardless of how many requests I get. So if you get an email to me by 7:30pm CST April 16, I will guarantee you a spot as long as you pay within a week.

What To Send: When you send an email (not before April 16), include at least the following: 

Name:
Email:
Scope of the project:
   - (how many pages (can be approximate),
   - pencil, inked or colored,
   - how many characters, and if multiple characters, are they present on all pages?

 Paying all at once or in batches?  
    - If in batches, do you have a basic budget for your first payment? 
(Note: First batch must be at least 1/3 of the total commission)

IDEALLY: Send me the full write-up/details of the commission with your initial email, but at the minimum, let me know the above information separately/at the top of the email as well.  If I haven't closed yet, I will reserve you a spot, but I only add people to my worklist after I've received payment (and I add people to the list in the approximate order I receive the payment). 

This is all to give me an estimate for how long it is going to take me to work on your project, so I can get a feeling for how many commissions I can take on before I close.  

My Response: I expect to take on an onslaught of emails, and it may take me 2 days or more to respond to your initial inquiry. I will not begin to respond to any emails at all until slots close. SO: as long as you sent me an email before my slots closed (I will post a time stamp here on the page when they close) then you can assume you got a spot in my reservation list even if you have not heard back from me yet.
As a note, last year when I opened commissions, slots were only open for about 45 minutes and I took on a year's worth of work.
I also plan on setting email "work hours" for my own sanity from April 16 - 20, between noon and 10pm CST

Payment:  Once I confirm your slot and/or give you a quote, you may send payment (for at least the first 1/3 of the commission total if working in batches). *
Payment must be received by April 23 (1 week after commissions open) at latest, or else your reservation on my list will be forfeit. 

Other Details:

- if you already are commissioning an ongoing sequence with me that is not already paid in full by the time these slots open, please sit this opening out. You can continue to pay on that sequence as usual, however :)
- one sequence maximum per person.  (If you are interested in a limited number of non-sequence pieces of art instead, that's also fine). 
- If you want a ballpark of the pricing before you send me the sequence for a quote, check out my Commission Pricing Page: http://arania.kamiki.net/commission/pricing/ - Note: Prices have been updated as of December 1, 2023.
I honestly was really trying to avoid raising prices again this year, as I hate to do it, but I got hit with a BIG rate increase in my property tax bill this year and I have to increase rats to help ameliorate this new big bill.
- The quote will be good for until the commission is paid to completion, or one year from the first payment, whichever happens first.

*If you're not sure how long you want the sequence to be as a whole and instead plan on giving me a basic outline and pay for it in batches I can "spend" at my discretion - email me and we'll figure out a reasonable minimum first payment.  However, I'm trying to discourage the incredibly long sequences with comparably slow payment plans that take literal years to complete this opening, because they lead to increasingly long wait times between openings.

* Note 2: if you're paying in batches, the amount you pay will cover the correlating amount of the sequence. if you pay for 1/3, I will draw the first 1/3 until I receive payment for the next batch.

Donations for donation artwork (past and present), Patreon work, and Crowdfunded Sequences are always open.
