• COMMISSIONS WILL OPEN JULY 11

  OPENING TIME:  Friday July 11, 2025/ 4 pm CST:  CURRENTLY CLOSED
  There will NOT be a go post, but I will update the commission status on the line above  with a time stamp when slots close.
  I will not respond to ANY emails until after slots have closed.
  
  What To Send: When you send an email (not before July 11), 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/references 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). 
  
  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 an hour and I took on four months worth of work.
  I also plan on setting email "work hours" for my own sanity 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 July 18 (1 week after commissions open) at latest, or else your reservation on my list will be forfeit. 
  
  Other Details:
  
  - if you already are commissioning a long-running 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/
  - 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.
