I get so many lookie lou's i figured i'd put most of the relevant info into one place for easy reading so I can just link people to this journal.

How do I get a commissions?

It's pretty simple. Just note me or hit me up on aim (baserock love) or skype (baserock_love) and let me know you want one. If i have one open and you send the dough it's yours. If I don't have a slot open you can be the first person I ask when one opens up if you want to claim it.

When do you open for commissions?

Every time I post an image I'll mention it's a commission. If it is. That means a slot opened up and unless somebody bought it in advance it's up for grabs.

Why don't you advertise?

I do sometimes but rarely. Usually slots are filled or reserved in advance. I don't take money till the slot is free though and I don't fill a slot till I've received money.

How much does it cost?

I do pencil work, theres all sorts of different techniques and sizes I can draw. I work by the hour basically as an estimation. You can get a solo smaller crosshatch drawing for only 100 bucks for a pinup and 75 per char after that but the vast majority of my work are my full size 11x14 smooth shaded drawings and expect to pay on average about 200 bucks for a pinup and 150 per char after that. Simple and lighter colored chars take less time than darker and complex chars. Things like wings and ginormous tails take more time so i might add a bit for these sorts of things. This stuff takes time. Tack on 6.50 for shipping of the original within the US or more for international shipping. If it's international I usually ship it first and trust the client to pay me afterwards. So far nobody has stiffed me and I appreciate that.

If you want some work but can't afford a full sized commission just let me know what you're interested in spending and we can probably work something out.

Wtf is a sketch stream commission?! How much do they cost?! I'm so confused!
[NOTE: Currently I am not offering streaming as It's just not possible to have that kind of privacy where I live.]
Calm your tits man! A sketch stream commission as the base price is 75 bucks per char and it's a quicker lower priced sketch commission and I will stream the linework and shading for ya if you want to see it. I no longer offer the really quick 50 dollar per char sketch commissions because nobody ever wanted them and it just confused people.

Why must I pay up front?

Because I got REAL tired of getting ripped off. The fourth time somebody realized they could just not pay me and keep the scanned preview image I changed my policy. So far there hasn't been any issues.

Am I allowed to request fixes?

Absolutely. This is your picture and I want you to love it. For my full sized smooth shaded pictures you get 3 opportunities to request changes. I don't move onto the next stage of drawing until given the go ahead. I encourage commissioners to ask for fixes till they're happy.

1. The layout phase. This is a very rough, often just geometrical shapes representation of the char but it's all the information you need to get a sense of pose and proportion and mood. The vast majority of fixes should be done at this stage as things still erase easily.

2. The final linework. I can make fixes here but lines are dark and refined and you might see ghost lines as pencil gets a finite amount of erasings.

3. The final image. I can make VERY minor fixes at this stage. Things do not erase well at this time though. I have done stupid things like left out an ear or whatever and neither of us noticed, or forgotten a detail from a reference sheet. I will always fix a genuine mistake no matter what.

NOTE: With the extremely low tier rough commissions I generally do not do changes or fixes unless it's a genuine mistake on my part or something super minor. Also this has only been an issue once but "fixes" doesn't mean changing your mind and having me redraw the picture a dozen times or substituting different characters 3 times after I already did the line work. If you get super ridiculous I will just send you some of your money back and cancel the commission. I have only had to deal with this once.

What won't you draw?

I won't draw a lot. My gallery is a pretty good idea of what I'm comfortable with. Basically hardcore smut of reasonable proportions and fetishes of consenting adults of either gender that are aesthetically pleasing to me. If you're wondering if i'll draw your fetish or absurdly over endowed character it's a good idea to ask first. I don't draw ferals in sexual situations or super hyper endowed or herms or dickgirls and all that. Just not my thing. I generally like to keep dick variety in the human, canine or equine variety. I will generally not draw spiky death penises and never any female genitals other than human-like.

Do I get to keep the original?

Well yeah, that's kind of the point. I'm always surprised by how much I get asked this. You get a physical piece of art from me. You just gotta pay the shipping to wherever you're at and allow some time for me to get out and send it. Getting to the post office is a real pain in the ass so i often wait till i can mail a few things at once.

Can you keep it a secret?

Absolutely but you must tell me beforehand. There are people i currently work with who don't allow me to post their commissions. I'm happy to do that. I need to know up front though.

Who "owns" the image?

I like to think both of us. If somebody doesn't want me to post their pic on my page I can usually ablige. I've frankly never had any issues with image rights and I really just don't care that much. By all means re-post your drawing wherever, have somebody color it, resell the original. it's fine with me.

So thats pretty much it. Sorry for the length but I get so many questions so frequently this will be a big time saver for me.
