REALLY IMPORTANT - NEW PAYPAL UPDATE - PLEASE READ

THIS NEEDS A HELLA SIGNAL BOOST - PLEASE SPREAD THIS UP

EVERYONE needs to start using Invoices. This is very important. Paypal has recently updated their TOS and it’s something that everyone should pay attention to. “10.3h If you violate the PayPal Acceptable Use Policy, … you will be liable to PayPal for the amount of PayPal’s damages caused by your violation … You acknowledge and agree that $2,500.00 USD per violation … is presently a reasonable minimum estimate of PayPal’s actual damages … PayPal may deduct such damages directly from any existing Balance in the offending Account or any other Account you control.” DO NOT SEND PAYMENTS AS “GIFTS” You will be risking your commissioners account and that is really really bad. Artists, REQUEST PAYMENT THROUGH INVOICES. It lets YOU control how money is sent. Commissioners, DO NOT SEND PAYMENT unless you send it through “for goods and services.” If your artist requests ‘send as gifts’ BEFORE you send payment, tell them about the $2,500 fine per violation, as they probably do not know about it. Yes, paypal fees suck, but it’s better to have a few dollars missing than to get fined $2,500 for a $20 purchase.

This is really important! And yeah the fees suck, but it’s actually ILLEGAL to select “gifts” if you are actually paying for a service because of tax, like wise it is always illegal to accept payment that way.  Please if you are a freelance artist taking commissions  ALWAYS SEND AN INVOICE! It can cover your ass in more ways than one, and you know actually makes it easier to keep track of things anyway. 

Signal boost- more than half of you who get art supplies from me take commissions, and you need to know.

I had such a great description and stupid me forgot to copy it before deleting the one with mistakes. SIGH.

Here it is, the grand finale! Things you may want to note about the picture-

Okay, I don’t remember all the stuff I talked about on the other one, so this is it. Oh, and full-res it, and look at their eyes. :) That was a fun little thing.

@howsaboutabbq has had an understandably tense/stressful day so here’s a momster to make things a little better. I really like doing this design.

Commissions!

Hey guys, so I recently entered into a tighter financial situation than I feel comfortable with. There’s not a whole lot of room for things to go wrong and over the months, it will almost certainly get even tighter, so I’d like to open up some commissions to widen the buffer I’ve got before things get worse.

Up front, if you just want to donate, my paypal is k.abbett@yahoo.com. This is also where I will be routing commissions.

I’m offering a very wide variety of services for various rates.

All rates are in USD.

Writing

Roughly $1 / 100 words, meaning a 2.5k fic/drabble would be worth $25. You can look through this blog for examples of writing. I will write anything from any fandom I recognize, and I am willing to do research into characters I may not be so familiar with. Things I will not write: excessively detailed gore, sexual nsfw content. Pieces start at 500 words.

Art

This is my universal art tag across all blogs. Note, my personal has some older documented art. Same rules for drawing as for writing- will draw any fandom, will research for references, and no smut or excessive gore. Included in the sexual nsfw is kink/fetish art. Sorry guys, not my cup of tea. Rates for this are far more complex.

Sketch : $5-$10 depending on complexity.              +Flats : +$3 Lined : $15-$20 depending on complexity             +Flats : +$3 Shading for both above:              Simple : +$5              Complex : +$10 Background added: Free for flat/transparent/container theme box                                +$3 for patterned ( lines/dots/etc )            +$5-$10 for specific based on complexity Lineless Binary ( example ) : $20-$25 based on complexity ( comes with shading - $10 if you just want flats) Lineless Painted ( example ) : $30-50 based on complexity ( comes with shading - $20 if you just want flats )

Coding

I can code themes ( examples 1 2 3 4 ) and I can also code pages ( examples 1 2 3 ). Rates for these are much more flexible and one-on-one basis. Some things to point out: I will only use press/official art of your character unless you can provide screencaptured permission from the artist to use fanart. I will provide you a disclaimer message you may use to request the art from them. I am not responsible for finding and obtaining permission on fanart. I will provide a discount if you wish to bundle an art commission with a coding commission. Expect these to run from $10-$30 depending on how complex you want the theme/page to be.

Misc Graphics

I can do icon PSDs, graphics ( theme backgrounds, online/offline, starter call, etc ) although the same rules apply as with coding-related art, I can also do icons themselves. These are much cheaper- $5 for a PSD or a graphic and $10 for 100 icons.

Tutoring

Wow what a random thing to put on commissions, right? But I can tutor you! I have a certified minor in math, and tutored it for 2 years at college. I also excel in English and Science classes. I can tutor you in coding as well. I won’t do your homework for you, though. But this is way more flexible, so go ahead and message me for personal rates.

Overall, expect 1-2 weeks turnaround for most projects, as I’m pretty busy. Art may take longer, due to the fact that I can code/write at work, but I can’t draw. Message me here or @ariicelis to discuss pricing. If you okay it, commissions will be posted on my new commission-related blog, @shaemonyuroze ( which isn’t set up yet ). Paypal is k.abbett@yahoo.com.
