Commissions Open!



Anything from Hunger Games, Disney, to Original Characters!

HOW IT WORKS:
Soon after you inquire about the commission and decide to proceed, I'll send you a small contract via email that will need to be filled out with details and contact info, and signed with agreement.
You will need to provide any reference material (especially for Original Characters), guidelines, color palettes and anything else that might help and pertain for me to get you the art you want! The more info you give me the better and the sooner I can get started!

Time frame: as of now (3/2013) I'm not super busy (hence why commissions are opening up), however, who knows what the future holds. So if you're looking for an image done "right now!!!!", it's not going to happen. However, I won't leave you hanging for months. Generally, I would say around a month for the highest complex image- with all the steps with your "thumbs up".  I will stay in touch with you with updates and stages and would like if you keep contact with me in the process. ^_^'

Workflow:
* Rough Sketch: First you'll receive a rough sketch, basically in a 'stick figure' form to determine the pose(s) and scene.
* Inked Work/Clean Up: Then, move onto the Black and White / Clean Up drawing.
* Color version: The final drawing in full color.
* Send the payment and the work is yours: Most works are done in standard A3 size (we can negotiate dimensions for digital work), at 300dpi. Your file will be sent in both CMYK and RGB, and your choice of file JPG / TIFF / PSD (closed-non layered file) or any other that is available to me.

Things I will NOT draw::: Anything that might be conceived as racism. There will be no displays of pornography, no violence display for the purpose of killing another person, no politics, and no anti-religious messages!!! In no way any of these visuals will be a part of my commissioned work, no matter how much you'll pay, it is non-negotiable.

Also I would like to be able to display my commissions for everyone in my portfolios – online and hardcopy, but I won't sell copies or have unwatermarked versions online if you don't want me to.  Which leads to…

Copyrights Limitations: Unless agreed upon both the commissioner ("The Client") and
me, ("The Artist") all work done by me is for personal, non-profitable use only. You are not to sell, duplicate, manufacture the work or its likeness. You are not allowed to modified/crop/edit the image in any way and for any purpose other then personal use. The image can be pose by you on websites (deviant art, facebook, twitter, forums, etc.) with credit to 'The Artist' (name, link to page, etc.).



FEES FOR WORK:
Projects fees vary depending on its complexity. After both sides agreed on the project direction, style and such the client must send in a deposit of 50% that is required to start work. If at any time the client will decide to drop the commission, this deposit will not be returned and will cover the time already spent by the artist on the work in hand.
--- After first deposit, please allow up to 7 working days before receiving first, initial sketches. ---
