Commission Information & Pricing

A header goes on your shoulders.
COMMISSION TYPESRealistic Pet Portraiture
Easily my favorite! I can work from a photograph of your pet or VERY thorough description of what you would like. Horses are my specialty, but I have experience drawing a variety of other species and happen to be more than willing to give new things a try!
Anthropomorphic ("Furry") or Fantasy Art
I can work from a character sheet, description, or art done by someone else to draw your character. I'm willing to do most scenarios ranging from G to XXX ratings. I do, however, reserve the right to deny any commission if I feel it is inappropriate or in conflict with my beliefs (i.e. cubbies, babyfurs, scat, watersports, etc.).
COMMISSION PRICINGAll pricing is approximate and may be subject to change depending on the difficulty or nature of the commission. At this time, I will only accept funds sent through Paypal or Amazon Payments. I reserve the right to include an additional charge of $5 for characters/animals with complex color patterns (calico cats, Appaloosa horses, merle/dapple dogs, etc.) or other intricate design features (tattoos, wings, excessive piercings, etc.)
I am willing to accept payments on larger commissions. Please note me for more details.

OTHER INFOHow It Works
After receiving payment (or partial payment for bigger pieces), a note including what you want, and any references/descriptions/themes you may wish to include, I will work up a preliminary sketch and submit for your approval. The number of preliminary sketches is determined by the type of commission you have ordered and the amount of detail involved. PLEASE notify me of any changes that need to be made to the commission while it is still in the approval stage. Waiting until after I have already begun to ink or color your commission to point out something you would like me to change greatly reduces my ability to make alterations.
Once everything has been squared away in the sketch stage, I'll proceed with the commission as its details require (keep an eye out for periodic updates in my scraps). When the image is complete, I'll upload it to FA and ask for your mailing information so that I can send you the traditional piece or the hi-res digital file.
What You Will Receive
Traditional pieces will be drawn on 9x12" Bristol Board and protected with workable fixative. (Larger sizes are available by request. Please note me for more information.) All items will be shipped in a bubble-wrap lined package with a stiff cardboard support or document mailer to greatly reduce the likelihood of damage.
The original hi-res file will be sent for digital media commissions.
PAYMENT & SHIPPINGPayment should be sent via Paypal or Amazon Payments to DCTArabians @ aol . com (remove spaces). I can accept credit cards through both payment programs.
Commissions under $25 will not be started until payment has been received in full. Installment payments may be arranged for more expensive commissions. Please inquire.
Shipping for real-media commissions is just $3.00 to anywhere in the USA. International shipping is $5.00, but may increase if the item to be shipped is particularly large. Please be prepared to include these charges when you send your payment.
