The news: Work on the plate

So the last two week has been a bit unproductive when it came to streams. There was a lot I hadn't expected to happen which sapped a lot of my will, to the point of possibly hitting a mini-burnout. This said, I've had a great weekend which helped me recover.

Also recomforting was a notable demand for large commissions which I didn't expect, which is always great for an artist. Some I might not be able to post here, but it's going to possibly keep me busy for a couple of days at least.

I'll thus be temporarily close my commissions queue until I've got more progresses underway. But this said, busy is good : )

This said, I'm also revising streaming schedules to less streams per weeks so I may stream only wednesday this week. Whether or not I will be open for commissions will depend on the progress for my current batch.
On a similar subject, I may also adjust my pricing rate and system for livestream in October, as I might possibly switch to a fixed pricerate for both streams and offline work fully(though there might possibly be some price adjustements to offline works as a result.)

On a future potential note, and one pertaining in particular to this gallery,I'm also pondering to slowly revises the uses I make for each of my galleries. On one hand, I'm finding it hard to keep each of them up to date with many of the stuffs I've had to deal with lately. My viewers here might have started to notices this.

This said I am very loathes to give up on any of them, so I'm pondering the idea of simply specializing each to showcase a particular type of works. And in Weasyl's case I'm slowly pondering to only post those commissions commissioned by users with an account here, and use the rest of my gallery's space to focus on personal art specifically.
So potentially expect this gallery to slowly fill up with fantasy, science-fiction and werewolf art in the future, and possibly see some amount of me pruning works I am less satisfied with within this gallery. I think to some degree this has also been a bit why I have posted less artwork as of late due to a lot of the commissions I'd received in the last streams I hosted feeling a bit disapointing to me... generally from users of sites I'm feeling slightly disafected with in part due to this kind of results.

Commissions Queue, pricing and rules

Maybe prone to be revamped and modified slightly in the coming weeks. This said, for now this is still the chart which applies.

Current state of my queue. There's still an openings left for the interested. If there are still some left to complete once I resume streaming, commissions in my queue will be prioritized at the start of every streams.

Current Queue:
Queue currently closed, be on the lookout for updates!

First, you can see a copy of all these rules as well as a visual pricelist and up to date Commissions queue on this link: https://www.weasyl.com/submission/660311/commissions-open
Up to date Queue will also be included in every wedneday and sunday updates journals.

I also now offer discounted preposed commissions. More infos here: https://www.weasyl.com/journal/61943/it-s-on-preposed-discounted-commissions

Process and communications:
First and foremost, offline commissions will be handled through notes for the time being. If you are interested in a commissions, just leave me a note on the gallery of your choice(http://www.furaffinity.net/user/fringedog/ https://www.weasyl.com/~ludocrow http://ludomercier.deviantart.com/) and I will reply to you as possible.

Once a commission and price(based on my pricelist) is approved, I will first start on the line sketch and then send this for initial approval. If lines are approved, then work will continue up to either shaded/toned or colors level depending on what was commissioned(or considered complete .

I allow for two revisions at each stages, to keep my work pace brisk. Normally I don't really expect to ever need more than one if any based on past livestream experiences.
Work-in-progress images and completed commissions will be communicated as dropbox links to the commissioners via private notes.

Commissions will be handled on a first-come/first served basis and I will add commissioners to a five-slots queue from which they will be removed as their commissions are handled.
Note that multiple-pictures commissions will see every pictures count as a single slot so a single commissions asking for a 3-stage sequences would be taking three slots by himself.

Payments and Pricelists:
Payments will always be handled via a paypal adress given during communication and is to be paid for upon the completion of work only. All commissions are to be paid in Canadian dollars, and payment IS to be paid for as "good and services".

The pricelist is as follow:
Line Sketches: 15$
Shaded/toned sketches: 25$
Colors: 50$

Separate pricelists will be coming for Digital Paintings and traditional works in the future.

Also, the prices are prone to adjustments as follow:

Additional characters: +50$ of BASE price
Backgrounds: +75% of BASE price
Extra Details(complex suit of armor or clothes, complex anatomy, etc):
+50$ of BASE price
