Commission Details

HelloeveryponyIknowhavecommissionsyayayayayayay

*sigh* Excuse me for that. Had too much sugar.

Yes, I know have commissions. Now, lets explain what I mean as commissions.



What's a Commission?

It's where you pay me to make something for you.

Oooooo! Are you doing Commissions?

Yup!

NOW SHUT UP AND TAKE MY BITS!

Can't. I don't have a PayPal account so all transactions will be done in points.

NOW SHUT UP AND TAKE MY POINTS THEN!

Would you like to know what I make?

Yes. What DO you make?

Puppets.

Like those finger puppets or those Five Nights at Freddy puppets?

NO NO! I make 2D animation puppets. Well, to be precise I rig them.

Rig?

Rigging is the animation term to make a puppet look like the character you want to animate.

Oooo. So what software is these puppets on?

These Puppets are made on Adobe Flash CS5 Professional. They can work on CS5 and higher.

Can't you make them in CS2, CS3, CS4 etc...

I only have CS5. So, no.

Ok, so what puppets can you make?

I can, and will only make pony puppets.

So, no EqG?

There are currently no EqG resources so, no.

No dragons?

Well...

Well what?

I will make pony puppets but I can use Changeling and Spike resources to make puppets based of them. The cost will be higher.

Oh. So, what's the price?

Prices start at 40 points.

Start at 40 points?

Depending on the pony, I will need to do different amounts of work, and therefore would cost more. Doing something simple like using a Pinkie Pie puppet and making it into Surprise (even though already done) would probably be 40 points as it's an easy job. Supplying me with the mane/tail vectors too would also lower the price as I don't need to draw them out. However, working with weird/irregular body types, complicated colour schemes, complicated manes/tails and having a different species (Dragon, Vampire, Bat) would increase the price.

Is there a price cap?

I will try to keep all prices below A$1.50 (in points form). But no guarantees.

Ok cool, so is there any restrictions?

There are 3. 1. Must be an Pony, Baby Dragon or Changeling. Note that Baby Dragons and Changelings would be much more expensive than a pony. 2. You MUST give me at least TWO reference image of the character before I make it, at least one of them must be either a 3Q pose or a Profile pose. I cannot work without a reference. You must send the reference file or link to me. I will not search the interwebs for it. 3. A deposit of a third of the agreed price must be paid in advance. The rest of the payment will be paid upon completion. This is to stop anyone not paying me.

O....k.... So how long would it take to make a puppet?

It normally takes two days to fully rig a puppet, so expect each puppet to be done within a week of commission. I will give you notification if it will take longer for whatever reason.

What if you cannot make the puppet?

If I cannot make the puppet, you have two choices:

Firstly, you can let me keep the deposit, I give you whatever I have managed to make and you can continue rigging the puppet. 

Secondly, you can abandon the project and I will refund you the deposit. Note in the second option, I might later on re-visit the project and complete it on my own accord.

What resources do you use to make the puppets?

I mainly use resources from the Double Rainboom puppets. I do sometimes use other resources in the project though....which reminds me...

About what?

If your resource is used in these commissions, I am willing to pay a part of the commission as a royalty to you. Bare in mind, I do know who I got the resources from, and I know who made them. Those who attempt to fake that they made it will be reported.

I'm one of those puppet riggers. How can I gain the royalty?

Send a note to me. We'll discuss it.

Cool. Do you do animations as well?

No. I rig puppets. Animating puppets is a whole different kettle of fish. I can do it, but it will cost a lot more than 30 points. So, animations are not up for commission.

Fine then. I WANT MY PUPPET MADE NOW!!!

Hold your horses! *pun intended* The starting price is 40 points. You'll need to comment/note me to begin discussing the price for your particular pony.

Oh. *sends note* Let's make a puppet!

*gets out his Flash software* Lets do it!
