Hello, folks!


I've finally decided to open up commissions.


Now, I don't have a huge following or anything. Probably far from it! But I am confident that you guys think I draw some pretty things and would like a pretty thing or two of your own, maybe. I need to make some extra money while I pay off stuff and buy necessary things, and I'm running a bit low. I'd also like to think that drawing other peoples' characters or ideas will give me a good bit of practice and variety in my work!


Here's my prices:


• $5 for plain sketches of character busts (with flat colors). And by bust, I mean 'from the shoulders up'.
• $10 for full-figure character sketches (with flat colors).
• $15 for shaded, colored sketches with simple backgrounds (textures/colored lighting) or no backgrounds.
• $30 for illustrations with color, shading/lighting, and detailed backgrounds.


EXAMPLES OF WORK

- Character busts/full-figure sketches with flat colors/mild shading: [link]
- Full-figure drawings/other with colors, shading, lighting, and simple/no backgrounds: [link]
- Full illustrations with color, detail, shading/lighting, and backgrounds: [link]


Here's the rules/info:


• Single characters only. If you want a picture with two characters, it is an additional $5 to the original price. Just keeps things simple and manageable for me!

• Maximum number of commissions per person: two. I say this only because I am not expecting to be flooded with requests, so for now it's two. In the case of the $30 full illustrations, only one per person.

• These will be digital commissions. I'll send you a digital file when finished, high-resolution and original working size, so you can resize it or whatever you would like!

• Because it is the easiest way of transaction for me and most folks, I'm gonna say payment by way of Paypal only. If you absolutely can't do Paypal for whatever reason, we can figure out another way!

• Keep your requests in the PG to PG-13 range, please If you are requesting an original character of yours, or a character that may be obscure, please provide a bit of reference imagery for me? The more, the better!

• How it works: it'll go in order of first-come-first-serve, and I'll send you a private message, whether it be through Livejournal, deviantART, or email (whichever is most comfortable for you!) and will give you my Paypal info. Message me back with your request (and plenty 'o reference, if you can ) and I'll start drawing your commission! I will send you the refined red lines of your sketch to make sure you approve/see if you want me to make any changes, and once you approve, you can go ahead and send in payment while I finalize your drawing. Sketches and colored sketches and busts will take about two days. Anything more than that may take about a week.

• On that note: if for some reason you need to cancel your commission, please send me a note to let me know! I know stuff happens sometimes and you can't dole out the money, I understand Just let me know. If I note you to confirm your commission and there is no answer after five days, I'll go ahead and cancel.




Oh, also! When you message me with your request, please let me know these:

• Do you want your sketch to be inked at all? If so, do you want it done traditionally, i.e. with Micron pens and such? Or do you want the sketch drawn completely digitally (in which case it will have thick, digitally-inked lines)?
• Do you want your commission done in a certain style? I can do a few different styles other than my natural one, so please let me know if you, say, want a drawing in the style of my Beatles picture, a la this: [link]


If you know anyone who may interested in a commission in my style, please spread the word around

I hope very much that at least someone is interested, and that I can draw you some pretty things. I do have a lot of real-life stuff going on, including other drawing work that I will be working on simultaneously, but I assure you: I will finish your commission in a timely and professional manner. You're paying me to render you a service, and by George, it'll be the best dang service I can render! Literally. Ahaha. Render. Like when you draw. See what I did there?



Also, I think it is important to mention that I typed this all up while listening to 'Water Temple' from the soundtrack of The Legend of Zelda: ocarina of Time on loop. Extremely important.
