+ Character is +100% (If significantly less complex, 70% instead)
- This is calculated by finding 70% of the respective base price that the additional character will be using. (ie. If it is a Knee-up Sketch, the additional character will be $24.50 instead of $35, but the main character of the commission will be whatever the base price listed is for how much of the character is to be shown.)
+ Color is +50% (Solid or Almost solid color will be 30% instead)
- This is calculated after the pricing of all of the characters in a piece is calculated. HOWEVER, if one character is a solid color, but the other isn't, it will be calculated separately from the commission price. (ie. Calculate 50% of the base pricing before the solid color character is added. Then add 30% of the solid character's price back onto it before it is added to the price of the non-solid character, then combine both modified prices.)
+ Shading is +50% (Super simple shaped characters will be 30% instead)
- This is calculated the same way as color, *except for* when the commission finish is 'Painting'. For painting, it is calculated with the color already added, or vice versa.
(+ Simple Background +30% | + Standard Background +60% | + Complex Background +90%)
- Calculated after all of the previous things have been calculated and added together.
Complexity +10-60%
- Complexity is determined based on how complex the character or whatever the subject matter is, as determined by how much effort would be put into depicting it and how willing I am to do so. Characters without extra extremities/complex because of markings will usually never exceed an additional 30% complexity fee.
- This is calculated on an individual character level, after both coloring and shading has been added to an individual character's pricing. However, depending on what it is that is complex, (pose, prop, etc), it will be calculated from the commission price as a whole.
Written Description Only +50-60%
- This fee is only for characters that do not have any form of visual representation accurate to the character. Basically, only a written description. The fee is added to the individual character's pricing.
Photograph Reference Only +20-30%
- This fee is for characters or subject matter that do not or does not have reference sheets or written descriptions, but do have or does have accurate visual representations of of the character and/or subject matter. Such as a photograph of a real person or an artwork commissioned or gifted by another person.
Written + Photograph Only +10-20%
- This fee is for characters that have both a written description and visual representation(s), but no reference sheet or image for easy referencing.
18+
NSFW +30-60%
Weird Fetish Tax +30-45%
NSFW Sona Tax (My sona) +50-60% (if ooc), +40-50% (if ic)
- All 18+ options are calculated *after* the final price pre-nsfw is calculated.
- OOC means "Out of Character", IC means "In Character". Basically if it follows the lore and personality, it is IC, if it breaks canon, it is OOC.
Custom Design prices are not listed, if you are interested in a custom design, negotiate with me in private.
Commercial Rights not included, for merch, promotional, or commercial commissions, negotiate with me privately.
If what you are looking for is not listed here, contact me privately.
These may be subject to change.
NOTE: If you are concerned about overwhelming me, don't get multiple of the cheapest thing possible. I would much prefer to draw 1 big piece than many little pieces.
- Don't think you need to calculate these yourself! If you need help, just ask, I'm more than happy to help you out and make sure things are right. It just helps me out a ton for those of you who are able to understand this and do this for me, big time saver.

As a tip, I think it'd be nice to add some spaces between Bust and the prices, in order to try and keep the columns as well-aligned as possible for easy reading.

i separated the lines, thank you for your feedback uou


You're welcome! Another alternative is separating the commission types by technique type instead of area drawn, though it's left up to preference.
