Commission Pricing/Terms of Service, Art Trade Info
14 years ago
Here are my updated commission prices, commission terms of service, and art trade terms of service. Thanks to the people who responded to my last journal to help me settle on this. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Please note that the people currently on my waiting list are subject to the old, cheaper pricing, not the newer pricing.
Sketches:
Headshot: $3 [No example yet.]
Full body: $5 [No example yet.]
Character sketch sheet (2 full body, 3 expressions): $15 [No example yet.]
Inked/Colored pics:
Colored (flat, no shading):
Icon or headshot: $10 [No example yet.]
Full body: $15 [Example]
Colored (gradient or cel style):
Icon or headshot: $12 [Example, Example, Example, Example]
Full body: $20 [Example, Example]
Colored (painterly style):
Icon or headshot: $15 [No example yet.]
Full body: $25 [Example]
*Note: Prices are in USD, per character.
Backgrounds:
$0-$20, depending on what you want for a background. Depending on how easy it is, I may or may not charge for a background. I will start to charge if things get more complex, as in these examples: [Example, Example, [Example, Example]
Pricing:
- If there's anything you're interested in that's not listed here, just note me and we'll settle on a price. I'm willing to try quite a few different things. :)
If you want a commission ...
- Send me a note. If I have a waiting list, I will inform you. If you get on the waiting list, you don't pay until you get an actual 'slot.' If you are on the waiting list and you decide not to take the slot when your turn comes around, that's perfectly fine. Just let me know at that time.
- Please describe the character/scene/'mood' you'd like! References are excellent to have. A brief background/personality description of the character(s) is also helpful, but not necessary.
- Also describe the style you want the picture in, even if it's just a link to a previous picture I've done. I alter the thickness of my lines, as well as my shading, quite a bit, so the more I know about what you want, the more I'll be able to help!
- When I finish the sketch of your picture, I'll send it to you for approval. You can change ANYTHING you want at this stage, but be warned - once I finish inking, you can no longer change the lineart/pose. Please be sure the sketch is what you want. I don't mind making multiple changes to the sketch if I need to. Likewise, when I finish the pic completely, I will make changes to colors or shading, just not the lineart.
What I will/won't do:
- I will not draw copyrighted characters (unless you own them, of course).
- I'm willing to do some gore/violence/blood, but nothing too excessive. If you have a question about something I will/will not do, just ask.
- I won't do nudity, sorry, unless there are no naughty bits - I just don't feel comfortable drawing that.
- I'm probably best at canines and felines, but I'm willing to try and draw just about anything!
- I'm much better at feral (non-anthro) characters. I am willing to TRY anthros, but please note that I am NOT great at anthro anatomy.
Usage:
- All commissions I do are for non-commercial use only. You have the right to do whatever you wish with the graphic otherwise, just don't resell it/make prints/make any profit off it. I own the rights to the picture, not the character. If you are interested in purchasing the rights to the art itself, ask me, but be warned that it may be pricey.
- Although I own the rights to any commission I do (unless you purchase the rights from me), I will not use this for personal profit (so I won't be selling prints, etc., of your commission). I may use it as an example in my commission pricing, but that's it.
Payment:
- I take Paypal only, payment up front. If the commission costs over $20, I only need 1/2 up front, and the last half you can pay when I finish.
- You may ask for a refund at any time, provided I have not yet started the piece. If I've only done a sketch so far, you may ask for a refund minus the cost of the sketch itself. Obviously, this does not apply to sketch commissions.
Terms of Service:
- If I ask you for a trade, expect that I will complete my half first. If you ask me for a trade, you'll need to complete your half first. This saves me from having to wait months and months for the other half of trades, since I rarely ask for them first. If I initiate the trade, I try to get my half done in a few weeks.
- If you're an artist that's starting out, I'll probably ask you to do a sketch trade. Likewise, if you're pretty far above me in terms of skill, I don't mind doing a more complex picture for a more simple one from you.

The one on the left is the more 'rough' sketch, while the one on the right is more cleaned-up. People can choose which style they'd rather have.
