Commissions

Journal Entry: Fri Jan 30, 2009, 2:43 PM
UPDATED Feb 21st- changing some stuff around to make it prettier. <3 Also, a couple prices dropped a bit, as I'm beginning to specify what I need to do for specific commissions.

Hi to everyone-
I'm back open for a bunch of different commissions! I can do anything from fantasy/free-range to a pencil rendering of your favorite photo of your dog or kitty...or ball joint doll for those of you who have them <3.
Sketches/pencil drawings are usually drawn on either computer paper or bristol. If requested, foamcore board or fine-marbled paper is also available, at a very minimal addition to the total cost. Sizes range from as small as you want to 8 1/2" by 11". Digital pieces will be sent as bitmaps, 300dpi to the buyer when finished. Note: Larger papers cost extra. NOTE that if you simply want me to scan a sketch and send the file to you, the price will decrease. (It saves you S/H, as well as money for the time needed to walk all the way/take a cab to the post office.)
If you desire a print, I will upload the artwork onto my account, give you the link, and you can buy whatever type of print that you'd like from there. =)

NOTE: I will take only one kind of trade: if you happen to be a bjd owner and are willing to offer SD13 boy clothing/etc, please let me know, and we might be able to work something out. =)

NOTE: If you're realllllly strapped for cash, please let me know so we can work something out. I don't want money to be the reason people don't commission, especially if they're fervent on having me draw/paint something for them. (Art shouldn't be based on $$...I'd do it all for free if I had an infinite amount of time and resources, but unfortunately the world doesn't work that way and since I as well as everyone else needs to make money, I might as well make it while doing something I love...).

PRICINGS:

****Prices ranges depend on size of sheet, detail, number of characters, detail of background if any background, time expected to be needed in order ot finish a piece, and type of paper.****

:bulletgreen: A sketch usually ranges from 5-25$ if rougher and in graphite pencil/1 colored pencil, cleaner pencil/rough pen/clean pen lineart sketches range from $10-$25, for a regular-sized sheet. This will include S/H if you want the actual sketch.
Example of cleaner sketch: [link]
Example of cleaner sketch: [link]

:bulletgreen: Rough COLORED pen, pencil, SIMPLE-colored digital, and mixed media sketches cost from $8-40, depending on the previously stated. More pricey commissions are the simple-colored digital and mixed media sketches...

:bulletgreen: A full graphite pencil commission can range from 15-150$, depending on what was previously stated. If I feel that it is a commission that will take very little time, it can go under $20! =D Includes S/H if you want the original art.
Example: [link]

:bulletgreen: NOT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE UNLESS COMMISSIONER ONLY WANTS A COUPLE COLORS.... A full colored pencil commission ranges from $25-$200, depending on the previously stated. I am also lacking in many of my Prismacolors, and have only a limited amount currently with me. Please take that into consideration. S/H included if you want the original.

:bulletgreen: Full ink commissions range from $20-$150. Includes S/H if you want the original.

:bulletgreen: Ink and graphite pencil mixed media commissions range from $20-$150. Includes S/H if you want the original.

:bulletgreen: Full digitally-painted commissions range from $30-$250, entirely dependant on how complex the artwork is, what style it is in (basic coloring, no shading or other costs MUCH less than realisms, anime/manga styles cost in between). If you want just the art, I will send you a bitmap file of your commission, which you can print out on whatever paper you desire. If you want me to send a print, let me know ahead of time so that I can mail a print to you, and so I can factor that extra couple of dollars into the total cost.
Example: [link]

Things I take into consideration when accepting commissions, concerning myself and others:
:bulletred: Is it a bust, headshot, 2/3, or fullbody picture? Headshots and busts cost considerably less, unless very finely detailed.
:bulletred: What type of background does the commissioner want, if any? City landscapes are very tedious, as are other things, and cost more.
:bulletred: How large is the commission size-wise? Is it smaller than a regular-sized sheet of paper? Is it less than 50mb?
:bulletred: How soon does the commissioner want his/her art? Art takes a long time for me- I'm a snail and if I rush, I make mistakes. Sketches usually take in between 2 hours to a couple days, depending on what the content of the drawing is. Full pencil commissions can take over a week to do, if detailed. Sometimes longer. This goes for ink/lineart commissions as well. Digital pieces can take nearly a month at times. It depends entirely on how much time I have to work on it, how much detail is entailed, how many characters are included, what textures are required (fur, scales, leaves, water, etc).
:Is the commissioner serious about their commission? Payment must be paid at a maximum of a week after he/she commissions me. I will NOT start drawing or painting until I have been paid.

Method of payment: I accept paypal.

Q: What if I don't have paypal?
A: Well, if you have a bank account and you know your CC number, you can quite easily get a paypal account. If you're too young/don't know your CC number, or don't have an accessible bank account, you can always use parents as a reference (I had to do it for almost ten years, so no worries lol.) So...if you DO have an accessible bank account and all, and you're unsure of how to set up your paypal, you can 1) look for an easy tutorial on the site to help you, 2)get an adult if you don't happen to be one yet, or 3) even contact me, and I'll walk you through it if needbe (I don't need to know your CC number or anything like that, you can be ambiguous as you want with those. The steps are pretty straight forward).

S/H: will be included in the amount I ask if you want an original drawing/print printed out by me. Just make sure to tell me whether you want the original or not!!!! Papers will be send in large envelopes (not in tubes), backed with a sturdy, flat material so that the package does not wrinkle, bend excessively, etc. S/H does not include insurance- if you would like insurance, please inform me when you commission so that I can factor that as well into the total price. =)

NOTE THAT I require payment before product. When you commission me, you are asking me to take time to draw/paint/etc. I do not work until you pay, because before you send payment, you still have the option of backing out of your commission. If I work before you pay, and you decide that Oh! you suddenly don't want a drawing, I have wasted my time and materials to produce something that you won't buy. (Sorry, have had this happen before for a HUGE commission, and it wasn't fun in the least>.<;).

I will let you know when I receive your payment, and will begin working then. If I for some reason cannot finish a commission, I will let you know asap and WILL REFUND 100%.

Thank you! =) If you have any questions/concerns, feel free to leave a comment or send me a pm! =) I can add a Q and A to this if anyone would like a public one.

P.S. If you want a print of something already on my dA account, they don't cost much. =).

Alright, no problem. ^_^ (And btw, first time I used paypal, I had so much trouble I had to run all the way across campus to ask the one person I know who is familiar with it -and the one person who never picks up their phone LOL)how to set it up. You're not the only person trying to figure it out, haha. =D)

:icongalidorthedragon:
lol I have an uncle that is member of almost every single online-buying page, I thnk he can make me an account to buy and sell art ^^

Due to my lack of money and the hilarious fact that I don't have a credit card, my mom will pay XD but I'll repay her later... and I'm limited only to do trades right now...

Besides, I'd love to see Galidor in your style ^^

True, very true...but he IS colorful for a human. :P And plus, horns make everything better. ^_^

So, just send me a msg when you have your finances all figured out -and the rather obnoxious, yet completely wonderful paypal set up- , and we can figure out exactly what you'd like in the commission, the medium, other specifications, etc. =) Hope to hear from you soon!
