Priority Commissions Open - June 2020
🕑 Added 2020-06-16 00:13:44 +0000 UTCHi Everyone! Here's all the info you'll need for this month's priority commission opening! Please note that there is no guarantee I'll accept your commissions, but you will be at the front of the line and have lots of time to get your commission ideas in before I open publicly! (i.e. ideally I'll fill my queue with you guys first, but if I'm unable to I'll open publicly in a couple days) NEW STUFF FOR 2020 YOU SHOULD KNOW:
Monthly Specials! Please see the “Pricing” section below. Each month I will pick a theme, character, or idea and offer it as a discount! That may be a commission type, a commission with a certain character, a commission theme or trope, etc.
WANT A COMMISSION? HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED TO DO:
- Read this post, then ask me any questions you may have in the comments!
- If you'd like a commission, fill out a form. Link is below!
- IF YOU HAVE A PREVIOUS FORM IN skip filling out a form and just shoot me a patreon message as described in the next step!
- After your form is filled out, MESSAGE ME VIA PATREON and tell me what e-mail address you put down (either contact or paypal is fine - just something so that I am both notified of the commission form, and so that I can connect it to a paid user on this end!)
- Note: the "message" feature is located on my "Overview" page (the main page for my patreon) under the "... More" button located by my current patron count. Should appear top right for you. You can also open your messages tab and send one to "kihu"
Commission form: https://www.kihu.club/prioritycommissions
- You must request an approval step before payment, or I will just send the completed piece when it is done, and you will not have the opportunity to review/edit it!
- That’s right! That means you FOREGO the opportunity to request changes if you do not request a review after the sketch phase before paying me! Please make sure you’re aware of this!!
- Idea Boosters + My faves, OK & Not OK content list: https://www.f-list.net/c/kihu%20commissions
- Payment is 100% up-front via paypal. These pieces may be streamed, attendance is not required. Edits/review will be made available after the sketch is done (one approval step) before completion if requested before payment.
Pricing:
MONTHLY SPECIAL FOR JUNE:
- Keyword Commissions!
- $200 even per character, up to 4 characters, flat color, no BG included.
- My characters can be included for 25% off.
- You provide a reference and up to 3 keywords, I do the rest!
- Example: “Bubble butt, submissive, messy“
- These pieces recieve a single editing opportunity at the sketch phase, and are then completed once the sketch is approved. Final check for small details (marking correction, piercings, etc) available after completion, but major changes (i.e. things that could have changed in the sketch) will incur additional fees depending on the change.
- As always, complex characters, ideas, outfits, etc may incur additional charges. These additional charges will be somewhat reduced due to the ’artistic freedom’ nature of these commissions! These pieces are intended to stick as close to the $200/char pricetag as possible.
FLAT COLOR COMMISSIONS:
- $225 per character, up to 4 characters. Upcharges for detailed characters, outfits, alts, etc may apply.
- $180 per character: My characters are available for use at 20% off ($144 each). You can also use that discount price to commission me for custom requests of my own characters and I may provide a further discount (if no other character is included) as I may keep it patreon-exclusive for a month & make prints available later.
- +$60 for basic backgrounds, $80+ for hand painted (content dependent). Plain background or “color splashes” are free.
SKETCH COMMISSIONS:
- $80 per character, up to 4 characters. Upcharges for detailed characters, outfits, alts, etc may apply. Markings are not usually included in sketches, but can be for an upcharge.
- $60 per character: My characters are available for use at 25% off ($60 each).
- $50 per character: If commissioning me for pics of JUST my characters, I'll provide this further discount (if no other character is included) as I may keep it patreon-exclusive for a month. You can use this to basically guarantee a sketch request for this patreon!
Looking forward to seeing what ideas you guys have! Thanks for being a part of my Alpha and Grandmaster tiers! - Kihu

Hi! no, sorry, priority commissions are usually closed about 3-5 days after they open due to demand and needing time during the month to finish everything. I will be opening again for July's set of commissions in the first week of july!

Hey Kihu are these still open?

So, budget at least a $100 surcharge and then plan for possible additional cost under the "extra work costs extra" clause, got it. Thanks!
Kihu
It depends on how complicated the character is and how much freedom I recieve while working! If it's just "brown otter, blonde short hair, go for it" there's no surcharge, but if there's complex markings or the need to go through several revision stages, I apply all or a portion of my ref fee, which starts at $100 and is reduced by artistic freedom and character simplicity.

Do you have a minimum surcharge if a client has no illustrated reference(s)? Or would you just not take on a job from a client like that?
