So, commissions are a thing now. Here are my prices.

Hopefully this 3x3 grid of examples I posted gets preserved.

Some other things to note.

You can contact me here through the personal message system that tumblr has, at Twitter - @zutcha, or through Discord - Zutcha#1527.

I’ll be using paypal invoices. I’ll need an e-mail address or something when we talk in PMs or whatever we use to contact each other.

We can discuss a little of what needs to be drawn, but I won’t start drawing until the invoice I send gets paid.

Prices are in Canadian Dollars. Paypal handles the conversion stuff so you don’t need to bust out your calculator. That might be a good thing if you’re used to USD prices. Canadian dollars are usually lower than US.

“+50% base price” means if there’s an extra character or a background I’ll need $5, $7.50, and $10 more for a sketch, flat, and full drawing respectively.

I’m a busy guy, I have a job that’s not drawing related. So might not get to it right away, but I figure I should be able to complete something within a week. Also, completion time might depend on how many other things I have to draw as well.

Maybe you’ve seen me previously draw something in a certain style and want something similar to it. I’m willing to talk it out and hopefully we get to some sort of agreement.

Complexity. If there’s a bunch of things I need to draw or maybe something I’m not used to doing, I might need a little extra to make it worth my time.

I’m probably going to post the things when I complete them to places like Deviantart, Twitter, or here on Tumblr. - I won’t be giving out any usernames or whatever, so don’t worry.

Safe stuff only, please.

I can refuse something if I feel like it.

I’m setting up my patreon to include something like these.

Is curling their tails round each other more aerodynamic? Maybe it’s just snugglier.

So in a previous post I made, I was talking considering doing some commission-type stuff because of work cutting my hours and money troubles.

Over the last few days (five?) I’ve been drawing a few things to gauge how much time and effort things take me and I feel these are well within the $10-15 range, except for maybe the Trixie in a Hammock one, that could be higher.

So these could be the kinds of things you’ll probably see from me aside from more complicated things. Also, just safe stuff, thanks.

If anyone has any thoughts or suggestions, I wouldn’t mind seeing them.

Also, if you want to see all the rest of my art, you can look at these galleries.

Twitter - Not really a “gallery”, but there’s a few things there.

Happy birfday, Phei

Gotta get that drawing practice in, right?

here are tips I discovered very recently:

something is better than nothing. 5 minutes of work are better than zero. Just because you missed something on your schedule doesn’t mean you can’t still work on it, even for 5 minutes. Grow and build on this.

second drafts / reviews can be done after.

Don’t think you are going to do your very best work on the first try. Take the weight of perfectionism off your shoulders.

don’t think about doing it. just do it as fast as you can.

build on your productivity, not your failures.

If you come from a past of procrastinating and now feel motivated to change and discipline yourself, do NOT try to do everything at once.

if you have a set of different goals to accomplish, begin with the most important one. Wait until the rotine of working for that one settles in (you feel productive and comfortable-ish), and then begin with the next. Repeat.

this way you’ll be building your way up and not juggling everything at the same time, hoping everything works out.

be patient with yourself, you’ll get there!

set smaller deadlines for your goals

have monthly and weekly-ish deadlines

e.g. if you are doing a project, due 22nd Feb, set personal deadlines, like have Introduction written by 2nd Feb, have Methods written by 10th Feb, have project complete by 18th Feb.

take them as seriously as you possibly can, don’t miss out on yourself.

write realistic daily tasks and don’t stop until you finish them. after them you can do whatever you want

on writing realistic daily tasks, the secret is knowing you can only do so much in one day, but trusting you can accomplish everything in the course of any period of time (a week, or 2 weeks or a month, etc.) because you will combine the work from all these different days.

it’s very tempting to write down all the tasks you need to accomplish in one day to just get over with it, but the real deal is you won’t accomplish half of them. You’ll feel very unproductive then, wich leads to demotivation.

spread daily tasks in the time necessary.

have a consistent sleep schedule.

if your mind isn’t ready everything will fall apart.

have one rest day per week where you plan nothing, do whatever you want except studying. this can be harder than you expect!
