First off, thank you very much for inquiring about my sketches!
Here is everything you will need to know about commissioning sketches from me!
Introduction:
My name is Mara Bellings and I am a traditional artist here on FA.
My favorite medium to work with is marker.
I'm used to using Prismas, but I've come to the conclusion that, as much as I love them, it's time for me to move on to using Copics.
My reasons are simple: no bleeding over time and they're refillable.
I have a day job that pays my bills and rent (at $9.50/hour, I'm barely making ends meet).
But what I need is a TON of money to put down as an investment towards getting myself new Copics!
My goal is ~$1800.
So what am I doing to get the money I need for new markers?
Sketch commissions!
I am temporarily putting off my marker goal to save towards going to Biggest Little FurCon this May!
All the money I make at BLFC will go towards my marker goal!
I'M STILL OPEN!
These are the only commissions I will be taking until I make my marker fund goal.
How does this work?
I'll be charging $10 per hour of work I do on your sketch!
I will always bring the sketch to some sort of completed stage within an hour.
If you want more completion (cleaned up, shaded, etc.), I will ask for another hour of payment.
Keep in mind, $10/hour is only 50 cents more than I would make at my day job!
EXAMPLES:
I've been getting a few questions as to what the sketches will look like, so PLEASE take a gander at these examples!

All of these examples were done within 1-2 hours!
Basic Information You Need to Know:
Here are some guidelines/terms about these commissions!
- I will draw up to two characters per sketch!
Keep in mind that two characters take more time and thus will most likely require an additional hour of payment
- Sketches can be any rating! If you're concerned about what adult material I will/will not draw, look through my gallery to get an idea or ask!
- I will only do MINOR edits after your hour of work is complete with no charge.
If major edits are required, I will charge for an additional hour of work!
- I will NOT issue ANY refunds unless I can't, for whatever reason, finish your sketch!
- Commissions will be discussed over email only.
Please do not contact me concerning your commission specifically unless it's through email!
- I will aim to get your sketch done within a week!
- If you have any general questions, please comment below!
Payment
I accept payment via Paypal OR a http://www.dickblick.com/ e-gift card (here) [value must be equal to or greater then $10].
If using Paypal, PLEASE DO NOT SEND YOUR PAYMENT!!
I will send an invoice to you when I am ready to take your commission!
You MUST pay the minimum payment of $10 for the first hour of work.
I will finish the hour's worth of work and send the sketch to you. If more work is required, I will send an additional invoice!
I will not haggle prices. I round payments off to the next hour.
If you have any questions about payment, feel free to ask!
