“How Much Will This Cost?” - Pricing Breakdown↑
My prices are based on a few factors. Number of characters/objects in a scene, coloring, background, and complexity.
Here is my basic price chart, as seen on all of my gig pages:
This shows the cost per character, or per object in a scene.
Sketch is a rough, raster sketch drawing of your character or object in a pencil-like look. The sketch gig cannot be offered as vector artwork, but is more affordable and will be delivered in 3 days for quick turnaround. This is ideal if you need a few visual ideas before moving forward on a project.
Black and White is exactly as described, black and white lines. Lines are crisp, clean, and bold. No color or shading is offered at this tier. Greyscale shading would fall under “full color”.
Simple Color features bold black outlines, and no shading or highlights on the body of the character. This is ideal for sports or school mascots, or for anything that needs to be printed with limited color.
Full Color features shading and highlights, as well as colored outlines for a softer overall look. This is ideal for a storybook style character, for fluffy or soft looking animals, or shinier, more reflective objects.
For More Complex Images: How I Price
For full-scene illustrations, I break down the cost by the number of characters/major objects in a scene, the coloring style required, the background, and optionally additional charges for complex background items. It is best to first message me with regards to complex illustrations so that I can provide you with an accurate quote. Here is an example image at varying prices:
This first illustration is an example where there are two full color characters and a simple background. I charge $25 per full color character, so the cost of the characters alone is $50.
This background of clouds, sand, and water is simple enough to fall under my $15 background extra - this is a flat fee and the coloring matches whatever the coloring of the characters in the scene is. In this case, $15 covers the shading and highlights in the background.
There is an additional object here, the tree, that is more complex than the background but not as complex as the dogs. I would price this palm tree at $10 extra. Total cost: $75.
Here is the same image with more detail at a higher cost:
As stated above, I charge $25 per full color character, so here the two characters are $50.
The sand, water, and clouds are part of the $15 background extra, and the tree as before is $10.
There are three additional trees but only two of the three are fully drawn in. There are also two silhouetted sailboats, and a whole new layer of detail on the water along with sparkles. The two (and a half) extra trees I would price at $10, the layer of water detail and sparkles at $10, and the boats at $5 for both. This background costs a total of $55.
The cost for this more complex image is higher than the previous example. Total cost: $105.
As you can see, the level of detail makes the cost of the final illustration vary dramatically.
It is very important to include any and all details about what you have imagined for your illustrations so that I can give the most accurate quote possible for the level of work required.
If you have any questions pertaining to placing an order using the Fiverr package pricing system please just send me a message where I would be happy to assist you, or alternatively, send you a custom quote for your project!
Attachments and Convenience Fee
When placing an order, it is important to attach all necessary instructions and files (example images, photos of the animal or object you need me to draw, color examples, and so on) onto the order page so that I have access to all of the files in one place when it is time for me to create the artwork.
If you send me messages to inquire about an order (“can you draw this?”, for example), and send multiple image files for me to look at, and wish to place an order, these are your three options:
Condense all attachments to a single .zip file to attach to order page
OR attach all example images when placing an order (if you do not have ability to .zip files or are only attaching a small amount of files)
OR pay $5 convenience fee extra for me to compile all attachments from our conversation to re-upload to the order form.
This is to ensure that all orders are correct and that any details requested are not overlooked, aiding in quicker, more accurate delivery that requires no modifications. It is easy for image attachments sent in a message to get buried by subsequent messages and forgotten about unless they are also attached on the order page.
If you place an order and the only information submitted is “please see our previous messages” you will be quoted an additional $5 convenience fee, and until the fee is paid OR you attach the instructions or files yourself onto the order page, the artwork will not be delivered.
If you have any other questions regarding your particular project/artwork or pricing, please contact me through fiver’s message system and I would be happy to help.
2. “Can You Change This for Me?” - Revision Policy ↑
Due to overuse of the modification request feature I have decided to charge $5 per revision. If you intend to ask me for a free revision (see next section for examples) please make sure all of your requests are kept to one “round” of revision. I have had many buyers ask for one “tiny” change and then proceed to go back and forth for 3-4 rounds asking for multiple “tiny” changes - after the first round of revision, even if the first round was free, all future rounds of revision are $5.
Revisions are not free unless they are:
3. Part of the original order’s instructions
If a buyer places an order stating “I need a happy cartoon boat,” I draw and deliver a happy sailboat, and I am met with the reply “can you make it a cruise ship?”, that would not count as a quick or simple request, and as I had no way of knowing from the instructions that the buyer needed a specific type of boat, this request would have to be made into an entirely new order.
It is crucial that buyer instructions are as detailed as possible so that my artwork matches the buyer’s wishes. Since my services on fiverr are quick, affordable, and efficient, I cannot do multiple rounds of revisions on a single order for free.
I generally reject any and all “do whatever you want, you’re the artist” orders.
Some examples of quick, simple revisions that would be free of charge:
In this example order, a buyer instructed me to draw a happy grey and white cat wearing a red collar, sitting down, facing right and smiling.
“The cat’s paws are white, could they be the same color as the rest of the fur instead?”
Color swaps for me are very simple and therefore color changes of any artwork are free.
“The cat’s collar is a little thick, could it be made thinner?”
A collar was part of the original request, and fixing the width of the collar on the existing image is fairly simple, so this would also be a free revision.
Some examples of revisions that would NOT be free:
“The cat’s body and head should be rotated more toward the viewer”
My artwork is 2 dimensional and cannot be easily rotated in 3d space, so this would be a complete redraw of the artwork and would need to be a new order.
“The cat needs to have more pizzazz to it, the whole look and feel is wrong” Â
This is not only incredibly vague (everyone’s idea of “pizzazz” is different), but  generally a buyer who says this wants a new piece of artwork in a different style, in which case they would need to provide samples of what they mean, or other detailed specifics, on a new order.
“Could the cat be licking its right front paw and look much tougher? I didn’t want a cute cat!”
These are examples of information that was not given in the original order. The pose described in the original prompt was “sitting and facing right”, so changing the pose or emotion to look tough licking its front paw would be a new image, and a new order.
3. “How Long Will it Take?” - Delivery Time Policy ↑
As of 2016, my turnaround time is set to 7 days. This may change as it has been 14 days during times of travel. If my delivery turnaround time is set to anything other than 7 days, there will be a notice of it on my profile.
This means from the moment the order is placed and information is submitted, the maximum amount of time the buyer will have to wait for artwork is 7 days. I cannot guarantee delivery sooner than the 7th day, unless a buyer purchases my ExtraFast delivery option.
The ExtraFast delivery option is set to $50 and guarantees that the buyer will receive their artwork within 24 hours of placing an order. This is the only way to 100% guarantee delivery faster than 7 days, so it is advised to plan ahead when ordering artwork if it is needed for a deadline or holiday.
4. “Can You Make Me a Logo?” - Services Offered FAQ ↑
Short answer, no, but kind of!
I am a cartoonist and my skills lie in creating cartoon characters and cartoon style artwork. I am not a logo designer, my skills do not lie in graphic design or typography, and as such I do not offer logo design services on fiverr.com.
However, if a buyer requires a logo image that is in a cartoon style and can provide me with a font face and color scheme, I would be happy to add text on to any artwork purchased from me, free of charge. Since I don’t do logo design, I do not pick out the fonts myself unless the buyer is not picky about what font is being used for the image. Please attach any necessary custom font files when placing an order that requires specific fonts.
For clean slick logo designs, I highly recommend this top rated fiverr seller who knows all about graphic design, typography, and creating killer logos:

5. “Can I Use This Art for My Company?” - License FAQ ↑
Effective June 2nd, 2015, you will need to purchase a commercial use license for each individual image that you wish to purchase the rights to using Fiverr’s new built-in “Commercial use license” gig extra. You can read all about what the commercial use license is here on Fiverr’s website:
http://support.fiverr.com/hc/en-us/articles/204832257-NEW-For-Commercial-Use-Extra
The price of this license, $15, was provided by Fiverr based on my gig’s performance and value and was not raised by myself, and will not raise unless my gig becomes much higher demand.
The license itself covers full commercial use rights to the image(s) purchased from me, further detail on the license document found here on Fiverr’s website:
http://support.fiverr.com/hc/en-us/articles/204791227
6. “Can I Get a PDF/AI/EPS/PSD/JPEG File?” - File Format FAQ ↑
I create all my artwork using Adobe Animate CC (formerly Flash CC), and I am able to export my artwork as high resolution png files, jpg files, svg files which I bring into Adobe Illustrator CC to export as PDF, AI, EPS, and just about anything else under the sun.
All raster file formats (jpg, png, bmp, gif) are free of charge.
All vector file formats (pdf, ai, eps, svg) are $5 source files. Â You may request as many of these formats as needed under one single $5 charge.
If you have any questions about file formats and whether they are free (raster) or $5 (vector) please don’t hesitate to ask.
I create my artwork generally in 1-2 layers in Adobe Flash/Animate and export PSD files through Illustrator, so any PSD files requested will not contain separate color layers.
The areas of color in the images are easily editable in Adobe Illustrator, they are simply on the same layer as the linework.
7. “Can You Make My Cartoon Move?” ↑
Sorry, but animation services are not something I offer at this time. Animation is an incredibly time consuming process for me and as I don’t have a method of pricing it in a way that respects my time as well as buyers’ wallets, it is not something I offer as a service through fiverr.com.
While I do, create my artwork using Flash/Adobe Animate, I do not offer flash animation services currently and have no plans to offer these services in the future.
8. “Can You Draw a Cartoon of Me?” ↑
I do not offer caricature services or cartoon portraits of individuals, mainly because that’s not where my skills lie and often this type of artwork requires multiple rounds of revision for me.
I DO draw cartoon humans, but I do not draw portraits. For example:
“Can you draw a cute cartoon kid, about 10 years old, with dark skin, dark short curly hair, brown eyes, smiling and reading a book while sitting down cross-legged” is a perfect order description, and something I would be happy to draw.
“Can you draw a cartoon of my cousin wearing a pirate hat based on this photo of her?” is an order I would reject.
Some cartoon humans and a cartoon dinosaur I created!
If you have any other questions or concerns about placing an order or general inquiries, feel free to send me a message to me, Alyssaerin, through fiverr.com’s inbox system. Due to Fiverr’s terms of service and my own privacy, I do not communicate with buyers outside of Fiverr’s inbox or order system. Thank you for choosing me to create your cartoon artwork!
