[QUOTE="Glade Riven, post: 5750809, member: 86468"] I do commissions. [URL="http://transbot9.deviantart.com/"]Details on my Deviantart page[/URL], and yes, I have been trying to break into the market by low-balling my prices a bit, but it comes out to about $10 an hour. I'm going to be hiking prices come the end of the month, but commission something before then and I'll lock you (or anyone else who orders) in at current prices until April 1st. Thanks to the Digital Signatures Act of 2000, agreements made through electronic corrispondance are enforcible. For the little stuff I don't bother drafting a contract full of legalese, but [I]you don't pay[/I] until I get it done, and you don't get the high resolution file (in a format of your choice) until I get paid. It leaves an incentive for both sides to do their part and nobody gets hosed. Haven't had a client yet that has been unhappy with the arrangements. Turn-around time is usually a couple of days, but most of that is waiting for clients to get back to me with any corrections. The only rights I retain is to use the art for the purposes of showing off in a portfolio, but that's common for work-for-hire stuff. I can hold off displaying it online by request.
