Commission Prices & Guidelines
14 years ago
General
Figured I might as well post a journal for my commission prices, just to have it out there.
These are base prices, and may be adjusted from person to person, based on how simple or complex and time-consuming the request is. The price may be either dropped or heightened, but I generally keep them at the listed prices below.
(Fullbody-)
Sketch- $13 (Color +$5)
Lines- $17
Flats- $19 ((EX))
Shading- $25 ((EX)) ((EX))
Painted- N/A, for now.
(Headshot-)
Sketch- $6 (Color +$3) ((EX))
Lines- $10
Flats- $12
Shading- $18
Painted- N/A
(Comic/Series-)
I don't have much experience with it, but here is some info. anyway~
Full-Page Illustration- Regular prices apply. (See above.)
Comicbook Page- (A series of smaller image panels arranged together. Like a comic page.) Prices depend on what you are requesting. Note me describing the panels/scene and I'll give you a quote.
(Misc. Extra Things-)
"X-Ray" Internal View, Digestion, and certain things on my 'Won't Draw' list cost extra depending on your request. Please inquire.
Extra characters are +60% of the first (max 3-4). Unless it's something little, like a bird or micro, then it's +20-40%.
I don't have much practice doing backgrounds, but I can do simple or "out of focus" for $5-10.
I can do a textured or gradient background for free.
**If something you are interested in is not listed or described, feel free to ask me about it!
(Optional!) Form-
I know some people like to fill out a form. Here is a simple one if you want to use it, however it is not by any means required. :) ...and please do not simply send me a form with no intro to yourself.. I personally consider it very rude.

Will Not Draw:
There are certain things that I simply will not draw. However, there are a couple of things listed which I may be persuaded to draw, so you may ask if you want to try to persuade me.
-I will not draw sex/adult *No. Sorry.*
-I will not draw male or female lower-genitals. (Breasts and butts are ok.)
-I won't draw excessive blood/gore.
-A human eating another human/animal/anthro.
-Hyper size muscles, hyper/impossibly large belly bloating.
-Elephantine or equine vore. (It creeps me out, lol.)
-Crap/Scat/Watersport/Etc..
I WILL Draw:
I am able to draw mostly anything. If something isn't listed here that you are interested in, please ask about it. :)
-Anthro/Furry, Quad/Feral, some Human
-Any animal species you might want. (Specialties: Dragons, reptiles, birds, gryphons, dinosaurs, canines, felines)
-Soft to Semi-Hard vore
-Post-vore, pre-vore, mild digestion
-Naturally-sized scale, Macro/Micro, same-size
-Oral vore, absorption, soul vore
I Enjoy Drawing:
I enjoy drawing more naturalistic scenes, such as a feral dragon hunting/bringing down a deer, or whatever. Since I like to draw this type of theme, commissions will likely be done quicker and have a bit more quality to them. ;)
- Predators, Predatory behavior
- More 'feral' type vore & characters
- Vore that makes sense. (I.E, laws of physics/nature apply.)
- Teeth, throats, claws, long/big tails, coils, expressions
- Trapped prey, dominance
- Action
- Non-Generic, unique subjects, situations, creatures, etc.
Contact and Inquiry:
~ Send me a note titled "COMMISSION" or if you have a question, "Commission -??"
~ Tell me the details of your commission. Remember to include references, the type of commission you want, and describe what you would like the picture to be. The more you describe, the easier the commission will be for me to do. (Don't get insanely specific, however. :P )
~ I can work from a description if you don't have a picture reference. However, expect the commission to take longer.
~ For anything $20 or less, I ask for full payment upfront. For anything $21+, I ask for half payment upfront, and the other half after your piece is finished.
Refund Policy:
~ If you wish to cancel a commission, a refund can be given equal to the amount of work I have completed. If for some reason I personally am not able to finish a commission due to life or personal issues, I will refund your money.
My Process:
Note: The number of changes and edits available is limited! I will edit a rough sketch 2 times, I can totally re-do a rough sketch once. I will revise a sketch up to 2 times. I will only edit lineart once. I will edit technical errors with colors/markings up to 3 times. No more.
~ I will send you a rough sketch for approval. Ask for any changes of composition, poses, & expressions in this stage.
~ Once you approve the rough sketch, I will send you a refined sketch. Ask for any specific changes-such as anatomy, expression, character details, etc. I will not re-start a work from scratch at this point.
~ After you approve the sketch, I will send you the lineart. Only minor changes can be made at this point.
~ After lineart approval, I will send you the (watermarked) flat colors. Changes in markings and colors can be made here. No more changes to the lineart itself.
~ Finally after you approve the flats, I will send you a thumbnail proof of the shaded, finished art. Send the other half of your payment. Then you will receive the full, hi-res version of the finished piece!
Payment:
~ I accept PAYPAL.... However, other forms of payment may be possible.
Turn-Around Time:
*My time estimates aren't always accurate. I am a full-time college student with a crazy home life, so things can get in the way of drawing. Please be patient, and I will try to keep you updated.
~ I will say it right now. If you pester me about the status of your commission more than once every few days you will only cause frustration and I will take longer to finish your commission. I hate working under pressure.
~ On average, my completion rate for a full piece is 2-3 weeks. Of course, many variables and real-life issues can affect this.
~ If a sudden issue comes up and I have to delay your commission, I will let you know.
~ I don't like to have a set deadline. I feel rushed when given one. Rough time-estimates work fine though.
~ Also note that I am keeping my interest in vore private, allowing me less time to work on certain requests.
Reposting / Redistribution:
~ Of course I am happy to allow you to repost the commission I did for you to your gallery. As long as you credit me as the original artist, link to the original, and specify to +Fav the original art.
~ You May Not sell, make profit from, redistribute, claim, or alter my artwork in any way, whether you commissioned it or not; Unless we have worked out an agreement and you have my written permission to do so. Any breaking of this rule will not be tolerated.
Misc. Courtesy & other more Personal Info. about Me::
~ I am quite personable; I try to be as kind, polite, and patient as possible to anyone I talk to. Please treat me the same way. :)
~ I LOVE to hear feedback! What did you think of my work? How well did I do working for you? Did you enjoy working with me? Do you have any critiques on how I can improve? Feedback is highly appreciated. It helps me grow and become better at my job!
~ While I do love to chat, if I seem really busy or in a foul mood, please refrain from bugging me until I seem more relaxed. If I like you and give you my AIM, feel free to chat with me there while I'm online!
~ I can be scatterbrained and unorganized at times. If you notice that I have forgotten to add you on a list or something that you should be on, or if you haven't heard updates from me on a commission for a while, send me a friendly reminder note!
~ 'Please & Thank yous' are important to me. General kindness and manners make me much more comfortable with a person, which will greatly benefit your commission in the end. A happy artist is a good artist! ;)

Is this a flat example here? -> I Want Those Sweeties
And is this shaded? -> Cometfox
If you have any in progress stages of image files you could put those in scraps to provide further examples. If 'painted' is something that ends up the same quality as Into Darkness then I think it's probably quite worth the price you quoted me.
I've seen a template going around that lets an artist put preview pieces of different commission levels they offer into rectangular spots side by side with text to label what each one is and how much, so something like that can work very well as a visual aid too.
Yes, those are the right labels for those examples. I guess it might be better to put the example right next to the corresponding price?
Sadly I haven't had much time to even start much new work as I've been at a friend's house, but that is a good idea. You really think the style of "Into Darkness" is worth that much? I actually didn't even really paint it, it's just detailed soft shading. I'm flattered to hear that, though! x3
I have seen it too, and I'll probably do something like that once I get more work up for examples. The layout and organization of those commission references is really helpful.
And yeah, it helps to put the examples right by or under each tier. It also makes it easier to see which ones you still might want to add an example for.
I have to admit I might not be able to make an unbiased judgement about 'Into Darkness'. There's too many things I really like about it for me to be sure really. Erring on the side of assuming I might just like 'Into Darkness' too much since it hits so many specifics I really like in a vore image, it would surely be worth that rate with say, that extra fur detailing you had mentioned(I still wanna see that haha), and perhaps a bit more of a background or something? XD
I'm rather interested in that detailed soft shading. I am also really curious what painted looks like now, or was painted simply doing the art with paint rather than your conventional way? One of the best ways to show different example types would be to just use the same image over and over at each stage so it's really easy to see how the quality increases at each step.
Detailed soft shading would cost around $30-35, I guess? Since it's pretty much one step up from my normal shading.
'Painted" is basically lineless or semi-lineless, with a good amount of detailing. It's just painstaking and takes lots of time to do, which is why I have it listed here as N/A for now; Also because I'm still fairly new to it, so my technique for painting is still pretty experimental and shaky.
That detailed shading is soooo part of what made me watch you so fast. It just takes drawings to another level of awesome. How much it costs really depends upon how much work it is for you. Remember that someone else's character might be harder to shade than one you are familiar with.
I try to but my best effort into all the art I do so I'm glad it shows through. That's true, but I can adjust the price based on the character's complexity so that it's fair for everyone, I think.
