Experimental commissions post-mortem

Added 2022-03-09 17:46:30 +0000 UTC

Thanks for trying out a new idea with me on experimental commissions. Now that we've tried a few I have a better idea what to expect for the future. Some observations:

- I priced them quite low partially because they were patreon-exclusive slots, but also because I didn't know how much I could promise with them. After having done a few, I think it's safe to say I still found myself fairly committed to delivering quality (let me know if you disagree, clients from the last batch) so I will either need to back off and limit my time on each, or charge more next time around. I'll take some time before the next one (supposing there is a next one) to decide exactly what seems fair as an updated price.

- If I do these again in the future I'll want to come up with a list of experimental approaches more concrete than last time so I do less waffling and more focused trials. If anyone wants to see me try anything specific, I'll be building a list of ideas and suggestions are welcome.

- All in all the experience was great for me to try new stuff, I learned a ton, and while the art was not all of equal quality, I think we got some great pieces out of it.

Let me know if you have any thoughts about the process!
