Updated Commission FAQ

Commission FAQ. Good stuff.
♦E-mail is Deludedcon [a] GMAIL DOT COM .
♦After consulting about image inquiry and finalization is completed on that front, payment will be made. I only accept Paypal in $USD. I will give you my Paypal address once things are on the ball, will get a sketch down, get the ok, and start murdering said image.
♦I accept and prefer Paypal. For those on Deviant Art, I do not at this time do artwork for DA Points.
♦Artwork is done digitally. Traditional work is on hold for the time being.
♦I will make note of the number of slots open on both FA and DA at any given time depending on my my preference.
♦At this time I will only do ONE image per person to be fair. Basically put, no multiple image commissions on one slot just by one person.
♦Due to this being one of my major ways of making money, I will not be doing many trades.
♦As for turnaround, I take my time.
♦Examples will be provided if you need something to look at in specific concerning any of the art styles/work offered below. I will be posting examples on each eventually, however. Like doing one of those neat Commission page things...BUT not right now!
Strong points:
•Transformers
•Dinosaurs
•Dragons
•My Little Ponies
•Fantasy beasts, monsters
•As for coloring, I prefer coloring Transformers. Shiny.
Not so Strong Points:
•People
•Clothing
•Weapons (WIP, THIS I plan on working out.)
•Vehicles (WIP, same as above)
•Backgrounds (WIP definitely)
Content:
•Much appreciated that people do not get offended that I will not draw certain things. 8D
•I like fight scenes and interaction scenes.
•I WILL NOT DRAW ADULT ORIENTED IMAGES. Closest thing might be something very clearly SUGGESTIVE but that's about it. I like suggestive, provocative pin ups and romantic, seductive art but nothing that just screams, for lack of better terms, 'PORN'. Yes, some may argue I used too, and probably still do but i'm not offering so please do not ask me. I'll know right away you haven't read through this if you ask me about any form of erotic imagery.
•Romantic CanonxOC I will not do. I have nothing against people doing this, this is just my preference. I prefer to do OC characters, or redesigns of Canon.
If you have any queries that concern content that isn’t listed here, do not hesitate to ask.
•CanonxCanon is also something I will not do, UNLESS there is ample support for this. I do not draw slash/femmeslash pairings when it comes to Canon characters. Why? Simple. They do not belong to me and also is something I am not into as a fan.
UPDATED Commission Pricing
So, i've been toying with this for awhile really - back in November of 2010 I ended up doing a small test with commissions and they are quite a bit of work.
As I said in that original FAQ which was posted on FA, the prices were subject to change, and change they have.
I will also be offering full blown colors, these take the longest and are the most expensive. You have been warned.
Also, additional characters and backgrounds in an image WILL alter the price. PM/E-mail for details and exact charge.

MLP:FIM
Want your TF OC or just general OC done up like one of these? Yay Ponies.
This gets a separate section. Pricing on these is different then the normal work as they are easy to do and turn out. This is for single characters, additional characters price will change accordingly.
$7 full body sketch, $ 15 Full body Lines, $20-25 full colors depending on detail/complexity/Simple BG.
***
Now for actual normal Commission work pricing. Prices are handled on simple to complex basis. Transformers are complex, no way around it. Heavily detailed dragons, dinosaurs, armored characters also fall into this category, PLEASE keep this in mind. I will quote you on the actual price.
SKETCHES
So sketches. Pretty easy to do, and very fast - done up in Photoshop with the pencil brush, these are the cheapest. Single character/no BG...and if there is something specified, the pricing can be negotiated. I normally sketch in blue and alter the coloration in Photoshop to be a darker blue or gray.
$7-10 for head busts/torso. Simple character, Complex character. Transformers are complex, no way around it.
$15-20 for full body shots. The more complicated the character gets, well, the higher the ante gets.
I can and will consider doing shaded up sketches if one wants, just ask and i'll give you a qoute.
These prices are listed for SINGLE characters.
•Examples•
- Gallery with a ton of sketches:
TF: http://deludedcon.deviantart.com/gallery/24795032
Not so TF: http://deludedcon.deviantart.com/gallery/23592513
LINES
So, you want the sketch lined? Well, this is where it gets a little crazy... This basically goes from sketch to refined sketch so I can put the lines down, and depending on detailing and what not, the price crawls upwards. I am very very obsessed with my lines, just throwing it out there. This isn't to say it will be ridiculous, but...
$15-20 for busts/torso. Quite literally, detailing for me comes in with the inks.
•Examples•

-http://www.furaffinity.net/view/4719065
-http://www.furaffinity.net/view/4750704
$25-40 Depending on the detail, this is the new price for full body linework. My last bout with commissions basically proved how long and ardous this can be, SO, if you want something like this, this is the pricing. It is up to my descretion as to the final price on your character. Dragons, Dinosaus, and Transformers will be in the higher range though.

-http://deludedcon.deviantart.com/gallery/25751785#/d37n04t
-
Linework that contains backgrounds, multiple characters, etc, will be far higher. The prices here are for SINGLE characters.
COLORS
Instead of just flat out making a price, this is how these work. Depending on the LINEWORK option, you basically add these prices to it for colors.
+$15 for CG flats. This includes designs and color holds/lines depending on the linework in question.
•Examples•
-http://www.furaffinity.net/view/4737746/

AND THE KICKER. Fully rendered images
Fully rendered craziness. THE WORKS. This is the stuff that takes forever. The coloring on these is full out shades, lighting, cell/soft cell, whatever you want to call it. This mess of lines and colors is the hardest to deal out, i'm not going to play around with this stuff.
+$25-30 Busts
•Examples•

-http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3495128/
-http://deludedcon.deviantart.com/gallery/25751785#/d301xa5
+$35-40-50-60 FULL BODY*
*THIS price CAN and will change depending on how complicated/complex an image is. This stuff I can not stress enough is usually what wracks my brain, so if you really want one of these, then by all means. These also take the longest to complete, obviously.
A fully rendered/colored image with a background and multiple characters for example will probably run well over $100 USD.
