Commissions
I wish I had time to create every interesting piece the Internet can envision, but I have bills to pay, and so I have to charge people money to create to their specifications. The good news, is this means that you can have me make a picture that is EXACTLY what you’re looking for.
I consider all commissioner ideas and communications to be private, and I do not disclose details of other people’s ideas, ever.

Standard Packages
Full Body
Cost: $90
Easily the most popular option. Full Body commissions can depict the entire figure, though they are often cropped
Icon (Head/Shoulder)
Cost: $45
Figure is viewed from chest up, I recommend a VERY simple background for these.
Head to Waist
Cost: $75
What is says on the can. The figure is seen from the waist upwards. This is often a better way to focus on their face than even the Icon option.
- Additional Figures + 50% to base.
- All packages come with standard shading (one pass of shadows, highlights as logical)
- More complex shading (multiple shadow passes multiple highlight passes) +25% on top of base. This is more the domain of North American comic book art, or full illustration.
- Flat color (No shading) -REMOVES- 25% from base cost. This is the look often seen in North American cartoon animation.
- A note about backgrounds. I generally try to avoid complex backgrounds that might draw attention from the focal character(s). Of course some are always necessary, so I break them into three levels:
- Flat color (including transparent), basic color washes (some shading overlaying the base color), or a pull from my library are free.
- Simple backgrounds include basic seascapes, grassland-and-sky-level landscapes
Special Packages
Color Lineart
Cost: $45 per figure
You supply the lineart, which you must either own, or have permission of the original artist to modify, I provide the color and shading.
Character Design
(Bundle)
Cost: $150
I will work from your descriptions to create original artwork of your characters.
The bundle includes a forward facing full body, a backward facing full body, a forward and a backward facing head close-up, and both right and left profile images.
All character design artwork is flat color, no shading.
Custom Job
Cost: Inquire
Got an idea that just doesn’t fit any of the other options? Then this option is for you.
How It Works:
Fill out the form below, detailing what you’d like. It never hurts to ask, and I love talking to people about ideas. For fanart, I recommend you send links to images of all characters involved.
– Don’t assume I know who you’re talking about, I live under a rock. –
Describe the image you’d like me to create. More description is always better. It will save time and work later. BE SPECIFIC as to what you want. I’ll quote a price for your work based on the rate information above and begin work on your say-so.
All payments will be over PayPal. Payments must be in U.S. Dollars (PayPal will convert your local currency for you). Platform fees and local taxes (totaling about 11% of the base cost) will be added to the quote. PAYMENTS IN -ANY- FORM OF CRYPTOCURRENCY WILL BE REJECTED AND RETURNED WITH ANY AND ALL PAYPAL FEES ADDED TO THE BALANCE.
You do not have to pay until the final stage is approved. But until you pay, all proofs will include large “SAMPLE” watermarks.
The Process
I do commissions in up to four stages. At each stage, I will send you a proof:
First, I create a Pose proposal…
I use a 3D program to help envision poses. I can’t control body type (aside from gender), hair style, expressions or outfits – but it conveys the general idea of how I’ve interpreted your request. Changes at this stage are the easiest to make, so please make sure the proposal matches what you want before giving your approval to move on to…
Then I draw the Line Art.
Some elements may be in color (like eyes and such), but generally this is just black lines on a white field. Here is where almost all details of the image are first created. Creating a pose image takes a few minutes, line art can take most of a day so don’t expect an immediate turn around here. Also, again, be VERY SURE you love it before giving me your okay to move onto…
Adding Color.
At this point, ALL the details should be present. Depending on complexity, coloring is a piece can take an hour to a day.
And Finally… Shading.
Shading is what makes the artwork pop, the more there is, the better it looks (there are of course exceptions). This is the final stage, and when you are satisfied with it, payment is due and the job is done.
When you get a proof, I WANT you to make changes. Please! I love making changes to ensure you love the finished piece. It’s never a trouble, it’s what you’re paying me for. I want to be certain you’re getting the maximum value here, so if you don’t like something about the proof, please say so! 🙂
You don’t even have know why you don’t like something. Especially in the pose stage. Just say you aren’t feeling it, and we can try something else. It’s so much easier to fix things early than it is to do it later.
Each stage includes up to THREE rounds of proofs and changes. Additional rounds will incur additional charges, but I’ve never gone more than three rounds on any job in my life.
Re-visiting a stage. By which I mean, you approved a stage, we moved on to the next and then you want to backwards. For example, we’re Adding Color, and you want to change the pose. This is bad. This is EPICALLY bad. It usually takes a short time to make changes at the current stage, but hours or even days to go backwards depending on how far we need to go. Revisiting is charged on a $10/hour basis with a minimum number of hours based on the stages we need to go backwards. This is something I’ve only rarely needed to do, and I hate it as much as you do. So, let’s avoid this whole paragraph by
Once you’ve signed off on the final proof and have paid the bill, I’ll send or upload a watermark-free version of the image.
Things to Remember
By initiating the commissioning process, you agree that you understand the following:
- I’m not so good at drawing chibi or furry characters.
- I will NOT draw Gore, Excessive Violence, or strong Hardcore Porn. Nudity, softcore, and some mild hardcore is fine though. If you’re not sure which your idea is, feel free to fill out the form and ask. 🙂
- While I will draw pictures of an adult nature, I will not break the laws of my home country (the United States). So no pedophilia, or anything I feel is to close to the line. I respect the commissioner’s rights to feel differently, but I have to obey the law.
- I respect everyone who deals with me, and consider any commissioner’s request to be personal and privileged. I don’t discuss them with other people. Ever.
- All my delivered work will be in .jpg or .png format. I don’t provide access to my native working files.
- My line work is vector based, but the final images are raster based. This means I do not recommend increasing or decreasing the final image’s size. If you need a specific resolution, let me know and I will work at that resolution.
- I do not do free Requests, don’t ask.
Your Rights as a Commissioner
My signature will be placed unobtrusively on every piece of commissioned art, and cannot be removed, unless the piece has been negotiated for Commercial use (see below).
You, as the Commissioner, hold all rights to the finished piece for personal use.
Commercial use of my images (Including as Streamer/Vtuber graphics) is possible with my permission, but is subject to other rights limitations and a different fee structure. Please mention up front if this is what you’re looking for.
The Rights I Retain as the Artist
Unless you SPECIFICALLY ask me not to, I may post the finished piece on this site, or elsewhere for promotional purposes.
If you wish, I will flag a commission as “from Anonymous” to protect your privacy.
I don’t post everything I do (in fact only about a quarter of it), and only post in galleries or social media accounts which fit the style of the piece.
