Commissions FAQ
The thing I’m questioned the most on is if I take commissions. The answer to that is no… not until I put the call out. Long ago I would take several commissions on and do them one after another, but that proved to be a disaster with people waiting far to long to get their picture done. So I only take them one at a time. It’s far better for you, the customer, and better for me too.
If you get a commission this is what you can expect to get.
- A sheet of rough poses to pick from.
- A larger rough picture to iron out the details.
- Clean line drawing before colour is applied.
- Final painted picture.
- Large 300 dpi version for printing.
All commissions are done digitally. I used to do actual paper and pencil commissions, but the digital ones get done so much faster. The time frame for getting a picture done is about two weeks, but it can be faster or slower. It really depends on how fast you get back to me on approvals and such. It also depends on the amount of fixes and changes asked for. I understand that it’s your money and so you deserve to ask for adjustments, but too many can take the wind out of the sails and just make things frustrating.
As for what I’ll draw… that all depends. I’ll draw pretty much anything really. The best thing to do is just ask and I’ll tell you what’s cool or not. If you want a short list though, I won’t draw any violence, blood, rape or poo.
The monetary damage for what I do is as follows.
- $40 – One colour character with a simple background.
- +$20 – for an extra character. (2 max)
- +$20 – for detailed background.
Paypal is fine for the payment and drawing started once payment has been received.
There is another way to get art done by me. I used to trade art for games. What I mean by that is if you’re able to find a video game I’m looking for, I’ll do a drawing for you. One character drawing with a background or a two character pic with a simple background. That means if you can find a used game for $20 bucks, you’ll find yourself a great deal for art. Some of the games I’m looking for are.
- Metriod 3 Corruption (Wii)
- Mega Man 10 (Wii Ware)
- Solatorobo (DS)
- Okami Den (DS)
- Pokemon Black or White
- Mario Kart 7 (3DS)
- Super Mario 3D (3DS)
- Resident Evil Revelations (3DS)
- Metal Gear Solid (3DS)
I’ve done this sort of deal in the past a few times and everyone comes out happy for sure. If you think you’d like to try this for payment, contact me so we can work something out.
I also reserve the right to post or not any commissions done. You can ask if you wish and I’m a pretty easy going guy but just remember that I can decline your request. So I think that covers everything. Most commissions have been fantastic and lot of fun do to. Follow the rules and I’m sure we can have a great commission relationship too! I’ll probably make this a special page and put it at the top in case anyone has questions later on. ^_^
