Next Commission Openings

I am staaaarting to get to the point where the end is in sight as far as the last batch of commissions I took at the end of February, and am starting to make plans for my next opening :)

Since ya'll are on my patreon, I wanted to give you all a different extra opportunity this opening to test the waters to see how this offer goes:

INFO FOR NEXT COMMISSION OPENING:

SLOT OPENING TIME:  Friday July 11, 2025 / 4pm CST

However, since you are a Patreon Patron, I will offer you guys a special opportunity!

You can email me (at araniaartist@gmail.com ) the information for the commission you want at any point from July 2 - 7. I will read it over and give you a quote.

You may not send the payment until slots actually open (see above), and I add people to my worklist based on when I receive payment, however, if you send me the commission details, and get the quote, I will guarantee you a slot as long as you pay at least 1/3 of the total commission price within one week of the opening time*.  The quote will be good for until the commission is paid to completion, or one year from the first payment, whichever happens first.

In other words:
- send me an email with the commission details between July 2 - 7, 2025
- Send the first payment between July 11 - 18
- If I do not receive the first payment by July 18, then you'll have to wait till next commission opening.

In the FIRST email (July 2 - 7) , send me the full information for the commission, including any reference images if the commission requires them. Also let me know if you intend on paying for the commission in full in one batch, or if you intend on paying for it in batches.

Please don't send me info until July 2, because a lot can happen between now and then, and I want you to be certain both that you know what you want for sure and are prepared to purchase a commission at that point in time.  It also helps me with time management to have a set period of time to read through scripts and give out quotes. 

*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 and sequences that become permanent WIPs.

* 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.

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 max per person this go-around.
- If you have multiple ideas you want me to choose between, please narrow it down to three at most. I will only do a full price quote/breakdown on one per person.
- 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/

If you have any questions about this in general, feel free to post a response here. This is a trial/test - if I get waaay overloaded with commissions this opening I may not do it like this again in the future, but we'll see how it goes :)
