- CONTENT GUIDELINES - I'm generally willing to draw content that contains nudity, violence, or horror elements. I am not willing to draw excessive gore. I prefer not to draw content focused on characters from existing properties, but sometimes I can be convinced to make exceptions. I prefer to draw original characters and ideas, and as much creative freedom as you're willing to give me.
- REVISIONS - Once we settle on a concept, I'll send you a refined sketch for approval, which is your last opportunity to make any drastic edits to the design or composition. Once the piece is finished, you'll have another opportunity to request minor edits to add details or correct any mistakes I may have made in the design.
- TURNAROUND TIMES - I try to finish commissions within 30 days of the start date. More complex commissions like reference sheets take longer, and turnaround times vary based on how busy I am and how complex my workload is.
- REFERENCE IMAGES - I prefer reference images whenever possible, but I don't mind working from descriptions or "inspired by" art. If you don't have any images of your character, that's okay-- if you can think of a couple film characters that look similar, or that inspired your character, that's enough for. Also, if there's an image already in my gallery with a style that you like, let me know and I'll tailor your commission to fit! Just let me know if your references are your own, or if they're something you stumbled across online.
- HOURLY RATES & PWYW - Many of my listings are "pay what you want," meaning that the rate is the base rate for the bare minimum version of what you see in the example images. If you "tip" above the minimum rate, I invest a proportional amount of time in your piece-- and knowing this from the start means I can invest more time into your piece starting at the concept stage. The short version is this: my hourly rate is $20, so for every additional $20, I spend another hour on your piece-- and I get a lot done in an hour.
It's a little different from how a lot of other commission artists work, but I find this is the best way to maintain flexibility with my prices without creating a ton of different listings-- this way, I can flex my workload to fit your budget instead of the other way around.
- DISCOUNTS - If you are a DM who wants to get everyone at the table a painting of their character for the holidays, or a writer who wants illustrations and character portraits for their website, or a comic artist who just wants a clean reference image to look back on, let me know-- I love working with other creatives and I'm happy to give bulk discounts.
- PRINTING - Unless otherwise specified, I don't print physical copies of my illustrations. I do send finished commissions as print-resolution .PNG files, and clients are free to print copies if they want to. If you buy a commission specifically intending to print it when it's done, let me know and I'll make sure it's formatted correctly-- but please don't sell the prints.
