Commissions Closed [October]

Thu Nov 5, 2009, 4:28 AM
Heya,

Just popping up a notification that I'm no longer open for taking any more commissions this round. Slots are taken up**, and also my plate's gonna start getting full again.

I also want to emphasise that I'm going to place an expiry date on commissions that are pending/awaiting reply. I'm not keen on leaving a commission spot kinda lingering for too long if I can help it, especially if they haven't technically been started.

----
EDIT#2: Final slot taken. Commissions are now closed this round.
EDIT:
** Due to a minor miscommunication one slot has become available again. I'll give this until the end of this week (8th Nov) before I'm officially closed. [link] for details.


----
So to those who have any commission slots with me, there'll be about 1-2 months from now (basically till the end of the year or so) before your commission slot will be considered expired. If you get back to me before then with commission details and what you want, I'll let you know if/when I can get around to it.

It might seem a little upfront or whatnot, but I'd prefer to know that when I'm closing, I'm actually going to close commissions and not have clients come to me months later and decide its time to have me do the commission spot they reserved ages ago.

And also, it also makes things a little more fair for others in future commission rounds in that I'll be opening with clean and empty lists/spots. And yes even if yours expires you can grab another commission next round.


Nevertheless, thanks a lot to those who've shown interest and also bought commissions from me so far. Also thanks to *carnival for giving me a plug on her journal =)



In other news, indeed I'm gettin real busy again, to a point where even my own projects are on hold ^^;

Nevertheless, doing well. Hope you're all well too. :)
Take care, be safe

Haha, somewhat of a busy kitty, yes. Some freelance/contract work came in the door, so it definitely takes precedence over commissions.

And whoa - 3.5 weeks. Must churn out at least a -little- artwork for the table XD! Time flies when you're not waiting for it.

Thanks Kraden =)

XD Jitty Kitty, haha. And thanks again carni =) Ya definitely helped out there.

And yeah, payment up front kinda works as the bond to have the client keep contact, so you cover yourself if ever the case comes and communication just fades and the commission stagnate for whatever reason.

At the moment I've got some ppl who've just not replied after the initial "I'm interested", and so instead of me really chasing them up I concluded its less intrusive to just slap an expiry on ones that can't get started. I suppose its originated from the whole retail thing - "I'll look down the road", and they never come back. "But our items (commissions) will still be here next year/time."

So just like food, they can choose to eat it before it goes off, I suppose. :P

Hiya senpai, it's good from hear from you Kupo. =3 *Moogle pokes* And before you ask, it was just a soft fuzzy paw that did that-no magic involved whatsoever. I'm informing you of that because the last time I did that a friend overreacted. :O_o: Moogles are never meant for violence anyways... =/

Pursue your true self, reach out to the truth and don't be afraid to live. The end isn't attained from death, but rather from surrendering to hardship.

Well i did have a big-ass warning slapped on my original slot-taking journal that said "U MUST HAVE PAYMENT READY UPON THE OKAY OF A SKETCH, OR ELSE, GRRRZ" but i'm still finding a few people lagging behind saying they'll have it 'next pay' ~_________~; i usually dont mind, but i'm trying to run somuch stuff ona schedual that its gumming up the works for something they should have set money aside for.. >|'I ..............*bitter bitter*

X'S anyways no big deal i guess, you live n learn aye?? ^^;

Yeah =/ Even with notifications on the journal saying payment at sketches people apparently still forget. But I'd like to think that out of the general audience those who forget are a minor percentage, eh?

I suppose it might explain why some artists ask for payment even before the sketch ^^;
:iconcarnival:
yeah.. :'I iz wut i'm gonna do from now on........ coz with little things like this i -know- i can work at them fast, and i wont have to ever wait on their side.. ^^; if they've got money already down they'll be MOREthan prompt~! X'3

It's definitely prioritising on another level.
