No! I really don't mind wings, horns, antlers, extra limbs, robots, cities, or complex patterns.
Typically 4 weeks at the latest but this can depend on how quick correspondence is on WIPs and how full my queue is. If a life event happens that puts me way behind schedule, I will make a public announcement and skip my next opening so I can catch up.
I take anything that comes my way so long as it doesn't contain unacceptable content (underage characters, hate speech, zoophilia, etc)! For proposed projects that I know will take more then a week to complete, I'll ask if you're okay booking me ahead for next month if my queue is full.
I want to add this because I get a lot of questions about why I underprice, overprice, or how I decide my prices. Generally, I am trying to strike a balance between what I need to survive, what I think is fair to charge, and what my commissioners can afford. I thankfully don't need much to pay my bills, but there are a lot of factors that affect my decision making for setting a price. This includes self-employment tax, paying for my healthcare, and emergency savings. Even with how my prices are right now, I'm still not making as much as I would with a regular retail job (in my area) because of these factors, but I'm okay with that! It's just how it is being a small self-employed artist.
So for context, my partner Autumn helps manage everything except my Tumblr and email (rest assured it's always me talking to you about your commission). Managing social accounts feels like way too much for me on top of doing commissions, most notably on bad days where I'm struggling with my mental health more then usual. To be clear, it's not like I have negative interactions, it's just the general "game" of having to pay attention to numbers, tags, and marketing yourself that stresses me the hell out. Especially for websites that feel more fast paced then Tumblr!
I've seen a lot of art social accounts that are shared by two people and it inspired me to propose this idea to my partner in order to help ease my mental workload. I absolutely trust them to represent me online and really all they're doing is assigning tags to my art, replying to a few inquiries, and sometimes interacting with comments. Again, when it comes to commission correspondence it will always be me speaking with you through email!
