I will create custom 2d animations for youtube, ads, or websites

Actually Price has not increased,it is same. I just include 1 character design with basic package and 2 characters with standard and premium packages. previously there was no character design and rigging included with the packages. I only took fees for the animation if you already has the charactes.

For an extra character - 20 usd for basic package, - 30 usd for standard package, - 50 usd for premium package,

No, I still don't include background design because some of the buyers don't need background. If you want me to design a background then 20 usd will be charged for one background.

still you've to pay for the character as I've to redraw it on adobe animate cc and rigged it in order to make the animation. But if you have the rigged character as a fla file only then there is no extra fees need.

Price of the animation depends on various aspect. So, Please contact me before placing an order. after hearing your project details I can decide the proper price.

firstly, I don't make that as putting shadow and highlights on the animation is way more time consuming and complex. but If you want that badly then the price will be double and the time required for it also.
