Work

I have a B.A. in Studio Art and experience in multiple forms of art, though digital illustration is my favorite. I draw a lot of fanart, but I love original design as well, both for myself and for commission.
Feel free to contact me if you want more examples of my work.

In addition to illustration, I also provide graphic design and editorial services such as book layout design and cover art. Those services are offered and described here at <link coming soon>.

Commission Info

Commissions are formed on a piece-wise basis. With the exception of the base sketch, additional elements are added based on your demand. For example, the piece could be a half-body sketch with flat color ($15) or a fullbody with loose line art and only flat shading applied ($31).Like build-a-bear, but with art.

Note: the stages in the above infographics were not meant to be finished pieces. Commissioned intermediate stages will look nicer I promise.

ADDITIONAL FEES AND ELEMENTS

Multiple Characters:
—Each character is charged according to the prices above.Backgrounds:
—No BG/Solid Color: Free
—Simple (Shapes, Effects): +$1-3
—Medium (Simple Room, Few Objects, Field and Sky, etc): +$4-15
—Complex (Full Rooms, Multiple Buildings, etc.): +$20-50Props and Extras:
Simple props, like mugs and daggers, come free with the character. More complicated props like small animals and complex weapons may accrue an extra fee. Same goes for complex character design; for instance, a full-body human is not the same as a full-body dragon with ornate designs and six wings. The extra fee can range from $2 up to the cost of an additional character.Graphic Design:
Upon request, graphic design elements, such as titles, speech bubbles, or overlays can be incorporated into the illustration. Depending on the complexity, an additional charge from $1 up to $10 can be added. (Text is mostly on the low end, but if I have to do something custom, it gets a little more time consuming.)

Terms of Service

I have the right to deny any commission I am uncomfortable with, even if the content was not specified by the above parameters. Although I will be happy to discuss the commission to see if there is a way it can go forward while keeping both parties content. I hate to turn anything away, but I have to value my sanity too.

* NOTE: I will draw your ships, but just not them doing anything confined to romantic gestures. I respect your ships, but I don't personally enjoy drawing romance so this is solely for my sanity. I can draw them hanging out and being close pals though. Just ask if you're not sure.

PROCESS AND PAYMENT

Please fill out the interest form, which will provide the gist of your request as well as your spot in the queue. I will send you an email to confirm I have received the request and to inform you of your spot in the queue, if there is one. (Depending on the nature of the pieces, I can work on 1-3 simultaneously.) I will also send an email when I am ready to start your commission. Then, details can be hashed out, and once everything is confirmed, the project will officially start. (Do not try to pay before confirmation! That's for both of our security in case something goes funky.)Payment is collected upfront through PayPal or Venmo. Unless otherwise specified, I will send a PayPal invoice to the given email. (Note: for commissions $75 or higher, split payment can be negotiated.) Once payment has been received, I will begin the sketch phase. If for any reason the commission is canceled, I can issue a partial refund based on which stage of the process I was on. There can be no refunds once the commission is complete. Upon cancellation, I will send whatever work has been completed up until that point.I will send the detailed sketch once completed (something that can take anywhere from 1 to 7 days depending on the scale of the project), and at that stage, semi-major changes to the composition can be hashed out as needed. Once it is confirmed, I will move on to other stages. Things like color can still be tweaked, but the scope of available modifications will decrease up until the completion of the project.I will remain in communication with you throughout the process, and I will send my current progress when asked. Don’t be afraid to ask any questions either, before, during, or after. I am always happy to talk the process out.Commissions can be completed anywhere from a few days to over a month, depending both on the complexity of the commission and life circumstances. I will try to give you an estimate at the beginning, but know that while I don’t necessarily work fast, I am good at keeping up with communication.
