Commission changes and questions. Feedback appreciated.

This will be mostly about commission changes, but there's actually a lot of things I want to get some feedback on.

First off, I was having a thought about doing some YCH (Your Character Here) stuff.

I don't have any furry characters of my own and thematically I'm somewhat limited to VGC characters, and of those characters Leo is the obvious default. Which is good and bad for several reasons. It's good cause I have a go-to character to be involved, but also bad cause there's not a lot of variety. (Ha ha ha you only draw one thing anywa--yes I know shut up. :p)

I know there's a few people that would like their own characters involved in the images so I'm thinking of doing YCH images.

I haven't given it too much thought, but I was thinking I could do YCH images in place of my regular submissions. Either in-full or every other image. I've seen some people do bids for the character spot, but I don't know if there's enough interest for me to do that. I'll likely just do one for everyone who pays.

So I guess just let me know if your interested. If no one wants their character involved in the image I'll just put Leo in there :/

Commission changes.

I've been thinking about this for a while. I'm cheap. Speaking frankly I think I need to raise my prices a bit. For as much time and effort and put into my work I don't think I'm being fair to myself.

When I first made my commission price list I think I did a fair job, but it's outdated and there needs to be changes. If not exactly raising prices, it's re-wording the details and re-working the prices. For instance. Line art. I think line art takes far more effort than flat colors. But they're the same price. Things like that.

So, I'm going to be making some changes to my commission prices. I hope that this won't dissuade anyone from commissioning me, as I still plan on being pretty cheap.

With these changes comes some additions as well. Along with YCH stuff I'm going to be setting prices for comics.

I don't mean to brag or anything, but when I first started drawing seriously I did comics. First a zombie comic when I was a wee lad, and then a ... well VGC rip-off if I'm being honest.

I feel like I have skills that I should be offering to the masses. Horny or otherwise.

I don't want to go into much detail about it, but I had an opportunity to give pricing on a comic some real thought. So, I'll be adding that to my commissions as well. As a slot that will be reserved. They're huge commitments and I can't be doing more than one at a time.

####

Other websites.

I've asked this before, but I feel like I need to ask again.

I'm currently on Fur Affinity, Ink bunny, and Weasyl. (And Deviant art but ... that doesn't really count.)

I'm submitted things to Rule34.pahael, too but that's because my stuff has ended up there anyway, and I wanted to sort of endorse it.
(For the record. I don't care. If you have an image board or blog you want to post my stuff too go for it. All I ask is that you tag it as me and link it back if you can. The exposure is good. I don't know if that even needs to be said, but I may as well since we're on the subject.)

Anyway, other websites. These three (FA, IB, Wsyl) are just fine. But they're furry sites and have variable rules on non-furry images, especially pornographic ones. So, is there a site like these ones that is human focused?

I'm not concerned about their rules on furry art, since I'm asking just for the human side of things. I'd like to branch out a bit and do stuff from games or movies, but most have human characters and aren't quite a good match for the sites I'm on currently.

I want to do human stuff because I tried a little bit ago...I cant do it anymore. I suck at doing humans now and I need practice.

Deviant art, last time I checked, doesn't appreciate explicit images. (unless I'm wrong)

Hentai Foundry's admins are apparently really anal about "quality". I'm not sure I'm "up to snuff". So not sure I want to pursue that path.

I could keep uploading to r34, but ehh it's not really what I'm looking for, and they have ads up the ass.

I looked into making a whentai profile too. It's an interesting system they have. Not sure if it's for me though.

I'm not sure I know of any more sites for art profiles. Unless it's those fancy-ass concept art places that make me feel pathetic.

I could make a blog or something I guess...idk though.

I could make mine own site, but ugh that's too much work and I don't even know how.

###

Quick recap

I'm going to change commission prices. (coming soon.)

Adding comics and YCH prices too.
(Next image will be a POV YCH thing with Aeris. I'll just make it Leo or something if no one cares.)

Any suggestions for human-focused adult art websites?

putting leo in with aeris is your default.And thats ok. But in my opinion though if they had sex shed be the total dom in the sex. If you need more default characters to temp pose with Aeris or Leo I`d be open to volunteer ;)
if you need to raise your prices a little do what you have to do.Just remember its all about supply and demand if people are willing to still commission you then youre not overpriced but if they arent then you are. If your art isnt valued enough to make it worth your while theres always drawing for friends or yourself though unless youre trying to make a living at it .

oh also for human art. FA is fine with human art. its just its not the sites focus.I see some people post at pixiv that japanese art site.

Yeah, I'm very conflicted on the pricing. Still not sure if I want to increase the prices or just adjust the price points for certain things while keeping the overall total the same.

Pixiv is...I'm not sure about it. I kind of want to leave it to the Japanese and not bother, but I also want the exposure. I need to give it some thought.

Thank you for your thoughts. I don't like having favorites, but...I may put you as the YCH stand-in.

well there isnt a lot of options for human dirty stuff out there really compared to furry art galleries. the Pixiv is just an option to consider.its not like it costs anything to join or post.
Pricing can be tricky especially if youre not super popular. If you charge what you feel youre worth no one may be willing to pay it.But on the other hand you dont want to feel like you are doing art for free either. Its always a bit of trail and error to see what people will pay.Also sometimes when you try to sell things can be relevant.if youre selling stuff right before or during a major fur con that will likely hurt your business unless youre real popular.
putting me in as a ych was mostly a joke but I`d be highly flattered if you do so. I really like Aeris and Leo so I`d love to be with them kitties as much as I could ^_^

What do you mean selling things? I think that's new to me.

Also, fur cons? I didn't even think about that. >.>

wooo thats a block of text.

But tbh like others have said price accordingly to demand.

I know the main reason i have got a few from you is the cheap price, but is the work regular enough at the current prices you have to be able to raise prices? I don't know i only see you produce/post 1 piece a month.

Swapping your prices around so that it's worth the effort though? that should be fine.
It wouldn't stop me for example.

YCH are no interest to me personally.

And ask around if someone would host you that seems ok, jab archives or something.

And in terms of exposure You are on everything relevant imo, I have mentioned before drawing pics of different fandoms helps attract people to your profiles though, i love your vgcats stuff but you need to have pictures with lots of different tags, to have a large base of which only a few will convert into paid work.

More regular updates helps people follow you better too, even if its just journals.

@ Chaosfox

Yeah, I definitely think one of my problems is how often I post stuff. I need to do stuff more regularly. Branching out to other fandoms should help somewhat.

What do you mean by someone hosting me?

someplace like this:

for example.
