I just thought that id put up some commission prices should anyone be interested. Please note that when i have time to do these i will put a note on my journal and advertise slots. Please note that if i open up commissions during term time that i will not be able to get it done as quick as i would say in the summer or at a holiday etc. Prices are reasonable considering materials, basic wage here etc. Considering the basci minimum wage in england for a 22 year old is £5.50 per hour i think that these prices are reasonable considering the factors listed. I know that the prices are high for my american viewers, over summer i may drop my prices so i can do a few more commissions for my american fans, it wont be a 75% off deal but it will be half price or whatever you can afford.. just note me and we can discuss details. I am taking time out to do these so please dont expect discounted art during term time, i need to make a living too, aswell as pay rent and survive! If you need examples of work not posted on DA or otherwise please note me and i can show you more, its not a problem. I dont upload an awful lot due to copyright and not wanting original characters stolen, a few of the examples may be a few years old but i can assure you the standard of work has improved drastically since then.

For each piece you will be sent an image of the sketch to view and tell me of any amendments, pose changes, additional items etc. After this stage I WILL NOT CHANGE IT so please voice your concerns then and not when ive inked and coloured a pic or spent 20+hours doing it for you to say you dont like the pose or the legs wrong etc. You will be expected to pay the amount due for the piece and for a re-dux if you want one. Im sorry if this offends people but its easier to change a sketch and redo it than to try and reink a piece or spend another half day sorting out what you didnt like on the final piece. If its just a simple matter of "i dont like that colour on it can you change the levels etc" on digital pieces yes i can.. on originals its much harder but i can try my best. Another note is to be patient, especially if i have slots open during term time, i am almost a third year university student, with dissertations and projects to do. So if im doing a piece i will notify you of the progress and try and get it done asap. If you need it at short notice and for a special occassion i will charge more than the quoted price on this journal. Thank you.

PLEASE NOTE THESE PRICES ARE FOR AN A4 (or just over) SIZED PIECE OF WORK. IF YOU WANT IT BIGGER OR SMALLER I WILL ADJUST THE PRICE ACCORDINGLY (say if you wanted two A5 sized pieces i would charge you the price for one full A4 one)

These digital pieces combine a sketch, an inked drawing (Traditionally done) and then scanned and coloured in photoshop. It is rare for me to draw directly in these without a base first. I do not charge extra for these sketches and inks and they are included in the price. However due to the nature of this process i need to know of amendments at the sketch stage rather than at the inked because iits impossible to change it then!

Examples:
Cell shading style: [link] [link]

Softer shading style:
[link] (time taken around 4 hours approx)

Icons:
£10 each - static
£15 - animated
