I will only open as many commission slots as I have hours set aside to work on them in a given week. I finish commissions in a first-come, first-served basis unless I'm working on sketch batches. If you need something completed in a given time-frame please let me know before you pay. In order to bump someone else down in the list you will need to pay an additional fee but I reserve the right to refuse this at any time. I will not bump someone down more than once.

For Giftart/Trades or other non-paid works in my queue I will work on them as I feel like, the list is mostly so I don't forget what I wanted to make. Typically I try to take them in the order I got them however. Please be patient here.

~PRICES~


My prices range based on the complexity of your design, the number of characters you want, and the time I believe it will take me to complete your order. The prices listed below are merely an approximate starting price [base] and not an exact quote. It may be more, or less, depending on the complexity of your design/scene request. Please send me a Note if you wish to know for sure what your commission will cost. My quotes are only valid for the week in which I give them unless otherwise stated.


Traditional Commission Prices

  • Pencil Sketch/Drawing - Typically a single character loosely drawn on a standard sheet of white paper (or smaller if I'm doing a chibi.) If you're feeling brave ask me for a pen-sketch! They feel really different. $5-20
  • Lineart - Same as above only inked with inking pens. $20-25
  • Pen Drawing - A detailed drawing sketched in pencil then rendered in ballpoint pen. $35+
  • Colored Lineart - A single character drawn in pencil then inked and colored with either pencils or pastels. This will typically be drawn on bristol or a more substantial paper if I can get my paws on it. (Please note I am still incredibly new at using traditional mediums to color--I simply don't have the practice, but I am willing to try! Results may vary. Buy at your own risk.) $35+
  • Acrylic Painting - A painting done in acrylics on canvas. You will need to let me know ahead of time what size you were hoping for. Please note I have limited experience and time with these tools and this option may not always be available. This option does not have a set price and will always be tailored to what I think I can handle and when I can steal borrow my brother's paints.


With the exception of the Acrylic Paintings, all of my traditional pieces may be digitally enhanced or otherwise altered, both at my discretion or your request. This depends on what you'd want done (traditional sketch, digital color) that may change how your piece is priced. Your physical copy--should you choose to receive one--may be very different from the final piece uploaded online! Please be advised.


Digital Commission Prices
  • Sketch/Lineart - Your character(s) loosely drawn [or clean] on a digital canvas. $5-10+
  • Lineart+ - Your character(s) drawn cleanly on a digital canvas. $15-25+*
  • Flat Color - The next step up! This is a clean lineart piece with base/flat colors and no shading on a digital canvas. $35+*
  • Full Color Character - The works~! Clean lineart with color, shading, and detail. $45+**

+ Additional Characters, background elements, objects, or anything other than one defined character/scene may be subject to an additional fee based on complexity.
* These may include simple background elements/objects but the complexity of which may or may not add to the price--please be aware.
** You may choose if you wish to have a clear background or a solid one. These may or may not include added textures or color filters at my discretion and choosing. The detailed rendering of background elements is not included.


Specialty Commission Prices

  • Cutout Styled - This style sets out to mimic a sort of collage, mixing many different stock textures and image pieces together to create a new image. My take on it was inspired by this video [link] and is one of my favorite techniques/styles to play around with! It is however time consuming and the price reflects that. Includes full vibrant color and texturing with a background or get a single character on a clear background and you can print it out and take it on adventures! $45+
  • Full Color Character + Background - Just what it says on the tin. For this commission you get a fully shaded character with or without painted lines on a custom background/scene~! $55+
  • Pay What You Want - For the commissioner on a budget (or for someone who wants a fancy surprise!), give me what you can along with a character/general theme and I'll go to town--for as long as your sweet-sweet muns equate out into a minimum wage plus expenses that is. Note me for more details; we'll have a blast~! (And hey, if you wanna pay me to write something for you...this is a fun way to do it. Seriously...please pay me to write things. I miss it. Writing example: From the Abyss.)
  • Customs/Adoptables - For more information on my Closed Species, Guest Artist Adopts, and how to get them; please click here. Thank you.



~IMPORTANT INFORMATION~

The Process:

If I have commission slots available send me a Note on deviantART with:
  • The type of commission you wish to purchase.
  • Your character sheet, references, or detailed description of your character and/or the scene you want.
  • Your maximum budget and your PayPal address.

When we have confirmed and agreed on the details of your piece I will send you an Invoice via PayPal. I will give you an estimated time for completion. I will not begin work on your commission however until I have been paid.

  • I accept payments through PayPal.  My prices are in USD. If you need to make a payment plan or arrange some other form of payment please send me a Note. I may not accept it, at the time, but it doesn't hurt to ask!
  • I will issue you a full refund if for whatever reason I need to cancel your commission. If you cancel a commission with me and work has been started, I will provide the work at its current stage of completion. I may or may not decide to refund the difference and this is at my sole discretion. Please think of all commission payments as non-refundable while ordering.
  • Payment is due after I send you a quote.  I will not start work until payment is made. I reserve the right to decline or cancel any commission for any reason.
  • Total cost of a commission piece is based on the description of your needs and it includes my time, supplies, and skill.

After your full payment has arrived, you will then be added to my queue above and receive regular updates here on the status of your commission. If you are ordering anything above a sketch, I will send you progress examples at each stage. Changes to sketches are free for digital works however anything after lineart may or may not require an additional fee to alter.

Once your piece is completed I will send you a Note with a link to the piece in my Stash for your final approval--after which it will appear in my gallery (or any other site I wish to share it on.) If you do not want me to make a piece available to the public, please let me know, this will be your last chance. Please Note: This does not include buying [commercial] usage rights--and under no circumstances are you ever aloud to submit something I drew to your gallery without my express written permission.


Usage Terms and Conditions:

  • I retain the rights as the original creator of your commission (regardless of if it is fanart or not) I may display the final product, drafts, or process of creating your commission as examples of my work on any of the sites I frequent. I will credit you as my commissioner [link to you] in the comments [or on the piece itself] as well as the owner of characters--unless otherwise requested.
  • You may use your commission as an icon if I am credited somewhere on your page as the creator.
  • You may use your commission as a reference or image for an RP only if you directly link back to my deviation page.
  • Do not upload my art to your deviantART, Tumblr, Twitter etc. I will make it sharable via my original deviation. That is to say, don't tell others that you are the artist of a piece I made for you through omission or otherwise. Please credit me. If I catch anyone doing this you will be reported to the appropriate authorities and may be banned from future commissions. No one wants this.
  • If you wish to color/line/work on/change a piece I made for you please let me know before hand. I ordinarily do not mind and welcome such collaborations, but I just need to know first/before you do anything. Please. More as a courtesy than anything. This goes double for if you plan to have another artist work on it.
  • If you wish to make a profit from anything I have made for you--please let me know before you take action so that we can work out a release agreement (this may or may not involve additional fees.)



Thank you very much for your time and consideration regarding commissions.
I hope to work with you soon~!
