"Hello all! I've been doing commission work for some customers, and I just wanted to get a bit of information from you guys about your own commission work!
** **
** * If a commissioner requests something (clothes, hair, props, etc.) in the commission that you have to purchase, do you charge them for it? If so, do you charge them the full price or just part of it?"**
Hi I do primarily animation work but I may have some relevant answers for you
First **NEVER ** !!! work without a written contract
get free contract templates here:
http://www.yourfreelegalforms.com
and specify in the contract that the client will be responsible
for the cost of any particular assets they require for the finished job that you do not already possess.
For example My copy of wardrobe wizard 2 was purchased by animation client who demanded a particular business suit for DAZ V3 be converted to V4 to wear in the animation.
One of my independent film clients Paid over $200 USD
at turbosquid.com for a detailed skateboard model for Cinema4D
** " * What's your typical going rate for a commission? I'm a hobbyist, not professional,"**
I dont know your skill level or your clients budgets so I can not realisticly give advice on what rates to charge
** "* After delivering the agreed product, if they have edits they want to make, do you charge them again or just consider it a part of the commission process? If another charge, do you charge full price or a portion?"**
Again specify these costs IN THE CONTRACT and have it signed before beginning any actual work on the project
