Trust me, it really was *such* a good place the first three years. Things took a turn for the worst last year after the head chef left :(

I'm not sad for leaving it now, as it is, but more so for the fact that it's not the same place it was when I started?
And I'll miss the regulars, but thankfully it's such a neighborhood area I can easily go pop into another restaurant on the street to see them

Oh lord
It has been sent 💀🤞
 Hades
10:34:02 
Spookybeast, oh no! Don't take it as a value judgement. I'm sure there's *something* at that job that potentially would have got me but I just didn't stick around long enough to find out.

Keeping a job that sounds... frankly, pretty chaotic for that long is super admirable though.

Are you a bit sad about leaving?

LMAO
In my defense
That was my first time crying in that position since I started, as a highschooler

Otherwise I would've chewed out every coworker I had about who was supposed to be taking care of the book when I'm not there X'D

Coolio perfect!
It's always odd looking with weekend shifts >>

10:30:24 
Spookybeast, see? That was my issue. All of the other hosts were *really* sensitive and would cry so people were a lot less harsh with them.

I couldn't cry about that sort of stuff even if I wanted to so people were always emboldened to be so much worse to me, HAHA. Like I assure you sir, if I could muster up some feels about this, I'd feel them just for you. <|3

Spookybeast, yep, think so. Threw me for a loop for a second too.

Omg I had a six top walk in for a reservation that wasn't in the book

I straight up cried and they felt so bad they went across the street💀
 Hades
10:27:28 
Spookybeast, I'm the same, unfortunately. I always talk big game about jobs but I kind of pride myself on being able to stick out what others can't and customers at my job always *loved* me.

But uh, yeah. Feel you there. Or when people wouldn't write down reservations for significant parties (like 20+) and then they'd show up asking for their table and I had to tell them it would be a 2 hour wait because no one took them down. .-.

Send it! I'm sure it'll feel like a massive weight off your back as soon as it's done.

Someone help me do a quick math check >>

If I'm working Friday + Saturday
And two weeks from today is Thursday, the 21st,
That means my last day would be the 16th?

@Hades

I stuck around because we have some regulars and they made it slightly bearable
But yeah this past week was ... God
ToT
People were writing 7:00 reservations before 5:00???
Like I don't even know how you mess up that bad
It screwed up the whole night

Sending my message to the boss man now X"D
 Hades
10:22:33 
Spookybeast, I would give a 5 seconds notice at that rate.

Ohhh... yeah, as soon as you said host, I knew. My most recent job was a hostess job, HELL. Complete hell. But I still stuck it out for a year and some change.

... I quit because my job was deplorable and I still never had to do that. Step-by-step instructions, are you for real?

What was the final straw if that wasn't? xD
 Spookybeast
10:22:23 Will
Omg also we don't get tips at the end of the night anymore
They're put into our paychecks

@Hades

Honestly considering like... Maybe a one weeks notice because I've put up with so much

I'm the hostess

I had to buy reservation book paper myself and write step by step instructions for how to, you know, use the reservation book :')
I was so close to walking out one night


Oof that's awful though T-T

Yo yo. :p

So, I've been thinking about re-opening my commissions for the first time in months, but I really want to re-structure how I do things along with it.

This is my old art shop, for reference on how I did commissions in the past (debating on whether I'm going to continue using that thread when I reopen commissions or just make a new one):
https://wolfplaygame.com/forums.php?f=40&t=22074

So, as you can see right now I have my prices split between headshots and fullbodies. I'm thinking of doing something similar in my revamped shop, but I'm probably instead going to call it portraits instead of headshots, and obviously keep the fullbodies as fullbodies. Basically, a portrait would be anything that's not a fullbody, from a chest up to a knee up, whatever - just a partial view of the character. :p They'd all be priced similarly, and come with a background unless requested otherwise.

The reason why I'm thinking of doing it this way is because a knee-up drawing actually doesn't take that much more effort than a headshot, for me at least. But I wanted to know what y'all would think of those two types of pieces were priced the same. -- I'd also like to know what exactly I should price these things at, so some help with that would be great. xD
Examples of various portraits~

---

And then, there's the fullbodies. Currently, I charge extra on whether or not you want what I call an 'abstract' background or not, but I'm thinking about ditching that and just charging one flat price for fullbodies, and if the commissioner can choose whether or not they want abstract or transparent, no extra charge would be added. Once again, this is because abstract BGs don't take a whole lot of extra effort. But, also once again, I don't know how to price these, so.. yeah. :'D
Examples~

I'm still debating on whether or not I want to start doing commissions that include detailed backgrounds, like environments. I'm still pretty rough at doing full-scale backgrounds like that, but I feel like I'll never get the practice if I don't force myself to do it. I dunno. Let me know if you think I should do them, judging by the examples I have, and how much I should charge. (Keep in mind they do take significantly more effort than the rest of my pieces):
https://i.postimg.cc/N04qSJ3m/darkmoondust.png
https://i.postimg.cc/d0C69P2C/cunchristmas2.png

Aaaand last but not least, banners. Will likely charge a flat rate for these, but once again, don't know how to price. To be honest I'm much more willing to do environment-type backgrounds on banners than avatars, because of the smaller scale, so a banner with that kind of background wouldn't have a huge price increase compared to an abstract one. Let me know what y'all think I should price these at.

Oookay... I think that's it. If you've read this far, congrats. xD

Anyways, yeah. Honestly I mainly want to know how I should be pricing my art, but any tips on organization would be super helpful too. Thank you! ^^

I like the portrait, fullbody and banner organisation.

I can't really give much help on pricing, as I'm not super involved with selling my own art/purchasing others art so I wouldn't really know.

I mean their extremely good and if you do open it again the iÂ’d say head shots for 1 Apple or 1200 mush, full bodies 2 Apple or 2400 mush- 2 apples 500 mush or 2900 mush, and lastly banners about 1 Apple or 1200 mush- 1000 these are mostly put into intervals for the different difficulties and simplicities. Just know I did convert them to what most people say Apple are worth which is 1200 mush. I hope this helps, itÂ’s just what I thought would suit it best.

Portraits: one-two apples (probably an extra 500-1,000 mushrooms depending on what type of portrait it is)

Fullbodies with and/or without abstract backgrounds: two apples and 600 mushrooms

Fullbodies with a detailed background: at least four or five apples; although you're new to detailed backgrounds you're already amazing at them and you can only get better.

I'd recommend upping the prices just a *little* bit for extra characters too, instead of just 500 mushrooms. But that's just me.

Sorry if it seems I'm lowballing on prices, I just want to make sure that everyone gets a chance to buy your art (as to me it was a very special experience ^^;).
