Price Changes For Commissions & More

Hello all, 

So I wanted to make a quick announcement tonight to say that I've decided to make requesting commission work is now a Patron benefit for all patrons. What does this mean for you all? Well nothing, but you can now feel a bit more privileged I suppose knowing that you exclusively get the ability to do so if you want to.

On that note, I wanted to bring up something that you may not be as keen on as the above news. 

After some thinking, and talking to a non-bias source I've decided to raise my commission prices to a base $50 dollars at least for the time being. There can be some bartering and I'm willing to work out a deal or so but for the most part this is my asking price. I know some of you may feel this is unfair and that prices should be discounted for the patron membership requirement. But considering that this benefit is given to everyone ranging from $50/month to 1$/month Patrons I kind of have to settle on a price that works all way around otherwise what's to stop someone from lowering their pledge to the lowest amount to get a lower commission price? It's not fair to you guys who are higher tier patrons. 

Also compared to other artists, I even admit myself that I woefully undercharge for my services compared to other commissioned artists of the same skill level in the fandom. My $25 dollar commissions were supposed to e a temporary deal but then the requests started pouring in and for bigger and bigger pictures that it started becoming the de-facto regular price for commissions.

So from this point on, any commissions are now at default, $50. I'd like to say that I could do a lower priced commissions for a less polished drawing but I've tried that before and I literally can't make myself draw more half-assed and I just end up undercharging for a full quality picture. This is also in effect for people who have talked to me already about a commission they want done but I've not started it yet.. the price is now $50 instead of $25. For those who that price is out of their comfort zone there is  no problem with cancelling your request or holding off.. I understand.

Hopefully you all understand where I'm coming from too.
