Bank overdraft fees

[Yautjapet]

I'll be doing them on tegaki-e so they will have a set size already. You're choices are as follows:

$1 plain lineart
$3 colored image
$4 elaborate image

add $1 for every bonus lineart character
add $2 for every bonus colored character

Can only accept paypal, please send money as gift if you please. Paypal is: grogs_ducky@yahoo.com

Haven't got too many examples just yet but I'll post what I have so far.

Colored: X
Lineart: Y
Elaborate: Z

Have you tried calling the bank to see if they can waive the fee? They are pretty stingy, but they let me loose the first time that happened to me.

Good luck.

Agree, try this. Make it sound like you're willing to close your account and take your business elsewhere over it. If there's a credit union in your area, maybe you should actually do just that regardless.

Hmm, I...I may have to try that. I suppose its worth a try anyhow. Thank you~

Yea I've had that problem before...that shit sucks D:

I don't see why you need to talk about your bank problems when making a commission thread. Of course, I guess there will be people stupid enough to buy from you just because they see that you posted a story about how you need money.

[Yautjapet]

Well I don't see the point of you commenting on something you could give two shits about.



I tell the story to explain why I'm being cheap with my art. And if you looked around the other threads here in the black market, you'll see that plenty of other folk are telling their stories.


But I suppose I can understand why a 'sob story' wouldn't be something I'd put in a commission thread.

So kindly refrain from bad-mouthing me and my reasons.

I'm not bad mouthing you. I understand why you would include a sob story in the OP so that you could get sympathy commissions. It makes perfect sense. I'm merely pointing out to people that they should probably not use their emotions to decide whether to purchase art or not, but rather that they should make the decision based upon price and quality.

Just because everyone is doing it, doesn't mean that it isn't a cheap way of trying to sucker potential buyers.

Yes, hence the massive editing. I apologize for any stupidity on my part.

Sob stories generally don't work any more. People used to exploit them, so it's avoided. If you want commissions, put examples of your art in the comm thread, prices, details, whatever. Keep it factual and don't beg or give a story as to why.

Second, if people get rude, don't rise to it. At least not in your comm thread. Other people will see it and infer that if you get riled up easily, you may not be the type of person they want to pay to do work. It all has an effect. Editing is good, but it still shows a mark, so it's best to avoid it.
