CraftyCrab Commissions

Welcome to CraftyCrab Commissions! I'm opening my shop for the first time here on Lioden, so this round of slots is going to be more of an experiment than anything else. My prices are purposely quite low for this reason - I'm honestly not sure what my turnover time will be, and since I'm new, I don't expect to have a line out the door so to speak. So, I'm having a bit of a sale to get my feet under me, and to judge what my prices should be.

Rules:

1. Paying for my art gives you the right to post it in other places, keep a copy for yourself, and add elements as you wish (ie, draw on top, add a background, etc). It does not give you the right to claim the art as your own. Any posting on other sites should include to credit to me as the artist. I will also be including my signature/mark in each piece, in an inconspicuous manner. This signature must not be removed or covered up.
2. I retain the right to refuse commissions. If a client treats me in a rude or inappropriate manner, I will not proceed with artwork and return any payment that may have been given. I may also refuse to take commissions from individuals who have a bad reputation - however, I will be discreet about these matters.This policy is to protect myself from abuse, not to gossip and bully. Similarly, you have the right to pull out of a commission if your situation changes, until a commission is done. For obvious reasons, I can't return your money if I've already given you what you paid for.
3. Even with my current 'experimental' stage, no haggling. I'm putting careful thought and research into my prices, and I'll happily listen to advice from individuals with experience with prices. Otherwise, please have some respect for myself and the other artists on Lioden.
4. For the moment, no gore or sexual content. I will be open to pieces with these themes at a later date, but I'll ask to be contacted privately about these and will not post them on Lioden, as per the rules of the site.
5. I'll accept any species for commissions - although for the moment, I will say nothing with complex wardrobes. I will draw humans as well as animals, but I'm rusty with clothing and need a bit of an update before I include those.

Now, on to the fun stuff! I currently have three types of commissions open:

Coloured Sketches

Rough 'n tumble little drawings! Not very polished, but expressive, fast, and cheap. Probably better for seeing cool poses than for heavy detail.
2400 SB/2 GB

Busts

A classic headshot of one character. Fully coloured and inked, but much faster to produce than a full-body shot.
3600 SB/3 GB

Full-Body

A clean inked drawing of one character, on a transparent or simple background. I can get more detailed on these ones and get a nice polished look, but they take more time and effort.
6000 SB/5 GB

Payment

Payment will work as follows - once you order a commission, I will put you on the list and start working on the artwork. At this point, I will ask for half of the payment, rounded up (if your commission is 3 GB, send me 2 GB initially). Once the commission is done, I will notify you and ask for the remaining Silver or Gold Beetles required. Once I've received the payment, I will upload your image and provide a link to it, where you can download it at full size. If you wish, you can pay me up-front as well if you feel more comfortable with that arrangement.

Slots

These commissions are first-come, first-serve. Open until all slots are filled! At this time, I'm not going to make a wait-list due to the uncertain nature of my schedule. But I can notify interested individuals when my commissions are expected to re-open!
