Some fun news- I’m officially opening up commissions!
As a note, I’m new to this so these prices may change. For now, I’m going to take up to 5 and see how it goes!
More details and examples below! Please read through most of this, but if it’s really too much for you, the tldr is: you can send me your commission request and I’ll let you know if I can take it, the exact price, and estimated timescale. If you do not read through this, however, you may miss some things I reserve regarding payment, refunds, usage, ect. and if you ask too many questions that are directly answered here, I will have to simply direct you back to this post.
You can contact me through this blog, my main blog, or email at [email protected] with questions or inquiries. If anything here is confusing at all, do not hesitate to ask for clarification!
Pricing and examples: (Mostly reiterations of above)
*All prices are in United States currency (USD)
*Prices may vary slightly based on the complexity of the request
Ex. A Flat Color piece may cost slightly less if your character has a very small color palette or no intricate details that require more time to fill in separately; contrastingly, a character with a very complex design that requires more research and attention to detail may cost slightly more
*Each additional character in a piece adds an additional 50% of the cost
Ex. A full body and shaded piece with one character would start at $20, while a piece with two characters would start at $30
*Again, these are general starting prices – please contact me with your request and based on the details you provide I can give you an exact price before you commission me
Sketch: Rough scratchy lines; not colored in, but I can make the lines whatever color or gradient you want.
-Bust: $2
-Torso: $3
-Full Body: $5
Ex. (Except the middle bottom example, these were all pulled from pieces that were finished beyond the sketch and were for my use only; sketch commission works will be cleaner than many of these.)
Line Art: Solid, smooth lines throughout; not colored in, but I can make the lines whatever color or gradient you want.
-Bust: $7
-Torso: $8
-Full Body: $10
Ex.
Flat Color: Line art filled in with flat colors, no shading; lines can also be colored.
-Bust: $10
-Torso: $11
-Full Body: $13
Ex.
Shading: Line art filled in with smooth shaded colors; lines can also be colored.
-Bust: $17
-Torso: $18
-Full Body: $20
Exs. 1 2 3 4
Backgrounds: Fills the space behind and surrounding the characters
-A single flat fill-in or basic color gradient is FREE for any piece
-A simple pattern or design is APPROXIMATELY $3 and will vary by complexity
-I do not have as much practice with complex, more realistic backgrounds. Thus, I don’t have many examples, nor can I provide a general price for one since I do not do them often. However, if you have an idea for one I can work out a price for it based on what you want!
Ex.
*The Overwatch example image I used for the complex backgrounds was done in a slight rush because it was for a graded school assignment that was more focused on what I wrote to accompany the piece than the quality of the work, so while it does give an idea of what I can do please take it with a grain of salt – I will NOT rush your commission and will strive to produce the best result I can!
*Additional examples can be seen by browsing the #art tag on this blog; keep in mind, though, these works are from throughout the years with the earliest being 7 years ago!
Payment:
*To restate, all payments must be in United States currency (USD)
*Currently, my preferred payment method is through PayPal
*I will send you an invoice with a detailed outline of pricing and the total cost for you commission
*Payment is due in advance
-For sketches, I cannot give a real ‘progress shot’. The best I can do is a sort of ‘stick figure’ outline to make sure I have the pose like you want; otherwise, payment is due before I really begin working on it.
-For the remaining commission types, I will show you a very rough sketch before payment is due and once you approve of it, I will not continue until payment is received.
*I AM NOT PRODUCING A PHYSICAL GOOD. All my art is digital and once completed to your liking, you will receive an email containing the image file (default as a .png file, but let me know if you’d like it saved another way). As such, there will be NO SHIPPING of anything. Please ensure upon payment that if PayPal asks anything for shipping information, you select that no shipping is required.
*If you have ANY issues with the work, PLEASE contact and discuss with me before going through PayPal looking for a refund.
Timing:
*Currently, I CANNOT set a hard deadline for any work. I am a recent graduate who needs a full-time stable job to support myself and will be going BACK to school again in August. This is a hobby currently, not a career, and thus I cannot spend all my time on commissions. However, I can give you an estimation based on each individual request. I may often set these a bit longer than I really expect just to give myself some wiggle room and not resort to rushing anything. If I exceed my estimation by a significant amount, I will discuss refunds with you.
*If I have a major life issue or emergency, I may need to halt working on commissions entirely for an unspecified time. If this happens while I am working on your commission, I will contact you to discuss solutions or refunds.
Additional details:
*All work-in-progress shots will be heavily watermarked to ensure they are not stolen. However, the final piece will have my signature in a small spot on the artwork. It will not be incredibly noticeable or take away from the work, and under no circumstances are you permitted to remove or alter my signature in any way.
*Once you have the file, you may utilize the image however you like for personal use. However, the image may not be used by the commissioner or anyone else for any personal profit or monetary gain. The image should be credited to me wherever used, preferably linked back to my Tumblr or Twitter.
*I reserve the right to decline a commission request for any reason.
*After you have approved of the progress shot and I continue with your work, no refunds are available! I will do whatever I can to make sure the sketch is to your liking and can continue to work with you throughout the process to make sure the art is to your liking, to the best of my ability.
*If something comes up and you desperately need a refund for personal reasons, please contact me and we can work something out. I understand things happen.
*I reserve the right to use a commission piece for myself, such as in a portfolio or posted on social media. If posted, it will be indicated as a paid commission piece. You can decide if you want to be tagged or linked on any postings, although if I am for whatever reason uncomfortable with my personal art post leading back to your selected tag/ website I can refuse this. You are still able to personally post the piece wherever with credit, however, even in this case.
Things I WILL NOT draw:
-Nudity or pornographic material
-Excessive gore or disturbing works
-Offensive material
*You can contact me with any requests, but I reserve the right to deny them if I feel I am unable to properly depict it in a satisfactory way, or if I feel uncomfortable with the material. If I am uncertain in my ability to draw what you are picturing, I will let you know in advance, but I am willing to attempt whatever except as listed above. It doesn’t hurt to ask me for anything, though!
Things I WILL draw, but may not be the absolute best at:
-Male figures
-Complex backgrounds
-Robots/ mechanical parts
-Complex anatomical poses (however, having a reference pose will help this immensely!)
-Animals (Maybe? This is more because I have not had practice with animals in quite a while but I’m sure I can accurately depict them) *Applies to furries as well, just not really any practice but I can try!
*Most of these are due to lack of practice in those topics, but I can make my best attempts!
This is all very experimental in nature to me, but I will do my absolute best! I ask for some patience and understanding while I learn the ropes of commissions a bit more. Thank you to anyone who shares this, even just that means a lot to me! And to anyone considering commissioning me and those who do – you are amazing, and I cannot express how happy it makes me!
(I may return to edit this post as I remember any details I forgot to include, but I will most likely not be removing anything)
