i was going to suggest to add a 10 days option because i agree on the 15-30 days thing being too long. but then again, i prefer to keep both of them since i myself take too long to work on a few commissions. as long as members are willing to wait. also it helps us not die of stress (copyrighted by Griknalok xD)

If it is an animation I can understand 15-30 days. But for normal pics under 15 days would be nice unless it is some big collaboration I guess. Tbh the artists are the ones that should give their opinion

Pretty much what swagger said. I don't understand why a simple idea would take a month to draw out, Even if it was just a pinup of sorts, there's my two cents.

Keep 15 days. Maybe add 10 days.

If the artist has put the number of days in his/her bid, and the member sees that, and STILL accepts it, it means they're willing to wait that long. As such, I don't think it should be removed. The member has the option of not choosing that bid if it's too long.

10 days for pictures and keep 15-30 days for animations only

15 and especially 30 seem a b...very excessive, but at the same time, I'm not sure if it's that big of a deal.

i think a longer period is ok for animation, we can have better results that way,but only forr animations

make an option in both request and commissions for animation that unlock the 15 ~30 days, because if someone ask me an animation with more than 4 scenes it can take more than 30 days, because animations is way too stressful sometimes, and me specialy hate to rush any animation, rushing mean bad or terrible quality, and i don't want to someone receive a bad quality animation.

but in other way i can easily cut this 4 scenes into 4 parts of 1 scene or in 2 parts of 2 scenes, because waiting more or less 30 days for something is a very long time, i think the best option is to put only to 15 days for animations.

15days for animations and 10 days for pictures . Max

random question but i had a commission, that granted was from 6 months ago that was deleted i'm just curious as to what happened

One thing to consider : Edjim just bid 30 days on my commission. I know he will not take 30 days, it is just that he has other commissions to finish before so we are NOT talking about number of days to make the art but about number of days before delivery.

If it was about number of days to spend on the commission, all the countdowns are wrong. When an artist accept 2 commissions at the same time, bid at 3 days each, both countdowns will start at 3 days whereas one should start at 3 days and the second should start at 6 days (3 days to make the first + 3 days to make the second, so the 2nd will be delivered on Day 6). This would ***** the artists to do one job at a time, in the order of acceptance which I guess is a constraint.

If we are talking about number of days before delivery, I think artists should be able to bid any number of days, as it will represent the time when the art will be posted : at the end of the countdown, I will have my art and as a commissioner that's what I'm interested in.

Artists should take as long as they need. Being an artist isn't an easy thing. I'd rather have them take 15-30 days to create something amazing rather than something half-assed. This is honestly a stupid poll. Just kee the 15-30 days option and add a 10 days option. Or let the artist decide on how long they think they'll take.

The 15-30 days option is good IF the artist took the maximum limit of commissions, requests and have a higher complexity to do. There really are times when 7 days isn't enough because artists do take other commission jobs outside WH too. If the concern is WH wouldn't get their cut on the commissions fast enough, I think the number of artists taking commissions here is large enough, don't you think? You should consider higher tier commissions to have longer wait times and lower tier commissions can be done in shorter wait times. I think that would be fair enough for everybody.

Ok, guys. I'll quote some ideas of yours with my comments:



> @Kasuk: If the artist has put the number of days in his/her bid, and the member sees that, and STILL accepts it, it means they're willing to wait that long.



Yep, but while in Requests members don't have that type of acknowledge - it's like a pig in a poke. You put your Votes, sometimes a huge amount, for a rather simple idea (as you fancy). To... get 30 days of waiting! If that was a commission, you might just cancel it and use votes for something else. But here you become a hostage. Moreover - other ideas under the same Request should wait the same 30 days before artist will even read it. So that's already a bunch of hostages!

As a possible solution i might suggest: for Requests / Commissions lower than 200 EVs to disable the 15 and 30 days options. What do you think of the idea?



> @SenyorPretty: i was going to suggest to add a 10 days

> @HinaStudio Maybe add 10 days.



Good point, will add that option in the list.





> @AlukardTD: but in other way i can easily cut this 4 scenes into 4 parts



That's a good solution, it will keep your gallery updated, while you are working on a big plot. And once all the scenes are ready - you can merge them into one video ( psst... you can even paywall-protect it as well *$_$* hopefully our members will support your effort in creating the complex animation ).





> @MentalL: random question but i had a commission, that granted was from 6 months ago that was deleted i'm just curious as to what happened



I know that you agreed with the artist to wait, but... 6 MONTHS! We can't keep those commissions hanging here for longer than a month. It stops newcomers from posting their commissions, because they can't expect the result made in time.





> @JamesVane



I agree with your point: if artist takes 3 commissions at the time, he can't create all of them within either 3 or 10 days. That's why now artists have limits of active commissions they can take part in. Generally all artists can have 3 simultaneous commissions, BUT some artists have the limits altered. For example, for thise who break the deadlines - the limit got lowered. At the same time, extremely popular artists got those limits extended (like Ed's got 5 commissions).

In this case, the artist can't take new commission unless he uploaded the result of an old one. So we got rid of the situation when artist takes a few commissions at one time. But, anyways, even if he takes several - he can put 7 days to the first, 15 days to the second.

Direct commissions got excepted from the scheme, since they're treated as "I agree to wait for the result as long as it takes, i want YOU to create it."



> @JamesVane: Edjim just bid 30 days on my commission. I know he will not take 30 days



An average time for Ed's commissions is about 15-17 days (even through he used to set 7 days). Even through he got limited to 5 commissions, so I doubt if he made a mistake. Hopefully, you will get the result in 30 days.



> @JamesVane: I think artists should be able to bid any number of days, as it will represent the time when the art will be posted



And again: you can tell the time and accept it in Commissions, but not in Requests. That's what the whole idea is about.





> @JamesVane: whereas one should start at 3 days and the second should start at 6 days



I'll check the code. Seems like the time when the Artist was accepted doesn't take into account.

Hello, I like 30 days option cause i have other works, too and do not know the time in 30 days when i can start on the actuall commission.I can never be sure if member accepts my bet so i can not tell i have the time and feeling to draw the image in such a sort time. You should think of WE are artists and sometimes it is hard to draw- we try to give our max talent to every single image, next to it I have an illnes and if it comes- i can not draw the image in 3-7 days, but i try recover fast and as soon as i can grab my pen i finish the image. We all made accept commissions and did not do it in 1-2 months for some rea*** of life, but if i ask for 30days member wont believe i forgot the idea!I wish to keep the 30 days option and wish to finis images much faster of course!!! We can always dscuss with commissioner thanks to the nice ssytem of the site:)
