[Oct 23 21] Announcement

Written by Kerlasia, published on October 23, 2021

Hello all, recently I’ve decided to move forward with some major life changes that I’ve been considering for a while now – the most significant being taking up a standard job. I am currently still in the process of getting acquainted with my new schedule, so given a week or two I will get a better picture of how much time and energy I will have left over.

As of now, I am still planning on continuing commission work, as I’ve been doing this for over 6 years now and I find it hard to imagine not being a part of the community anymore (thank you to all who have supported me and allowed me to get this far). Having said that, it is very likely that I will have to significantly reduce the quantity of commissions I do, unfortunately. A plan for the exact details of that is still in the works, but I will definitely be updating you once I do some thinking.

As always, feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you may have!

Patreon!

Written by Kerlasia, published on May 20, 2019

I’m excited to announce that I’ve just launched my Patreon!

https://www.patreon.com/kerlasia_sme

Over the past 5 years I’ve been offering art commissions, I’ve steadily expanded my work and I’m very grateful to have the audience that I do today. I believe starting a Patreon is the next step in my journey!

Having monthly supporters will allow me to spend more time on each commission (improving the quality of my art), as well as providing more opportunities to create extra content such as speedpaints. I am also looking forward to interacting more with my followers!

I offer higher quality/more detailed WIPs, progress collages, speedpaints, live art streams, Q&As, polls, commission discounts, free sketches and more! The lowest tier is just $1 monthly.

If you enjoy my work and would like to support me, this would be a great way to do so! I also have a ko-fi for one-time donations/tips.

PS – A big thank you to all my followers!!


Order form temporarily down (04/07/19) [FIXED]

Written by Kerlasia, published on April 7, 2019

The order form is currently behaving in unexpected ways, and I will be temporarily unable to accept any orders.
A backup form will be created within 1-2 days. If you have attempted to submit an order today, it has not come through and must be resubmitted through the temp form. I apologize for the inconvenience.

If you have any concerns, please contact me.

Stripe temporarily unavailable

Written by Kerlasia, published on January 21, 2019

This is just a notice that Stripe will be temporarily unavailable as a payment method as of today due to technical difficulties. PayPal will revert to the default until further notice.
Apologies for any inconveniences.


Slight delay this round + temp schedule changes

Written by Kerlasia, published on September 19, 2018

Due to family visiting and some other personal situations, there has been a small delay in commission progress from Sep 14-18. There may also be another brief hiatus around/leading up to the 24th, as I am traveling out of state.
Regular commission work is planned to be resumed on or after the 24th.

From Sep 24 through Oct 7, I will temporarily be on a normal day schedule rather than nights.

Please contact me if you have any concerns.


Switching preferred online payment platforms.

Written by Kerlasia, published on July 16, 2018

As of today Aug 1, 2018, most future commission payments will be handled through Stripe rather than PayPal.

Due to high transaction fees, poor customer service, relative lack of support for vendors, and general high-risk factors associated with selling via PayPal, Stripe has become my preferred payment platform. Stripe is an alternative to PayPal which has been gaining traction recently – for more info, you can visit their site: https://stripe.com/

Edit: To clarify, you do not need an account with Stripe to use their service. The invoices are simply sent to your email address, and you pay via card.

I will still accept PayPal in the event that somebody is, for whatever reason, really adversed to using Stripe.

If you have questions or concerns about this change, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

NEW: Reserve a commission slot!

Written by Kerlasia, published on January 10, 2018

Want a guaranteed slot next time my commissions open?
You can now reserve one with a $15 or 30% fee (whichever is greater).
This is useful if you have an important order, or find that you keep missing your chance to get a commission.
