EDIT: After talking with several commissioners, I decided to make these changes: The rate have been severely simplified. The cost for color decreased. Commissioners now can purchase the original of their illustration for $10 +shipping each, no matter the size. Also, the commissioner may request to keep their illustration private and NOT be displayed on public electronic galleries, like DeviantArt or Facebook
All rates are B&W, for color just add 50%
1/4 page $20
Examples: Potraits, tiny characters, small monsters
i.e.>
1/3 page $30
Examples: Characters, small scenes
1/2 page $50
Examples; Character(s) with background, standard medium scenes
Full page $90+
Typical "cover" illustration, several characters, large scenes
A "page" is a 8.5x11" page. Its not an actual fixed size but an estimated of a work area for the level of details. These rates are a base. Sometimes a quotation will have to be made in case there are too many details on the illustartion
If you want any other kind of work, I need to quote it.
Process
-Send a description as detailed as you want, pose included. For characters, the character sheet and background story is most useful to add “feeling”. The abode character rate count on 2-3 signature items. Tiny familiar/animal companion is counted as 1 item. If the character has to have several detailed items, I’ll quote it up. Small belt items and clothing/armor does not count on this “limit” Overly detailed clothing/armor does.
-3 sketches are sent with poses to select within the next 2 to 4 days (depends on commissions queue)
i.e.>
-Once the pose is selected, the design and is sent for revision and minor changes
i.e.>
-Once the sketch is approved, it proceeds to detailing and cleanup, ending up like this
i.e.>
-Then the illo proceeds to whatever finishing the commissioner decided to go with.
-The Illo is send on a high resolution .jpg file to the commissioner.
Payment and schedule
-Payment on advance on Paypal to book it.
-Process takes from 1 to 3 weeks, depending on schedule and type of commissions. Ask for timeline
-I keep the original drawings (if any) and IP. If you want any of both, we can discuss it. You can use your illo on whatever you want as long as its non-commercial use.
-I can use the illos for private portfolio and other non-commercial uses. I will notify you if I use it.
If you have any doubts/questions, please write me a note/email.
Thanks for watching!
