Commissions Are Open!

Before we begin our creative partnership:
Who is the audience for this project? Take a look at my portfolio; is my style a good fit for your audience/project? Also, I don’t paint erotica, so keep that in mind.

If my portfolio is a good fit, then I look forward to working with you!

Process

After I receive your commission request, I’ll contact you to let you know if I can work on the project, ask any questions, finalize the quote, and send over the contract for signature.

Contract

The contract serves as a protection for both of us and is a record of who holds the rights to the image.

Payment

50% of the fee is due at the time of signing the contract, the other 50% is due once work is complete. Work will not start until the contract has been signed and emailed back to me and the first payment received. No refunds will be given once work on the project begins.

Sketch Stage

I’ll gather references and may ask for more clarification & references as I work. Any tools you have at this stage to clearly communicate your idea are great: Mood Boards, References, etc. Idea concepts and rough sketches will be worked on and I’ll present the best three for you to decide from. Feel free to combine elements from different ideas for the next stage.

Drawing Stage

I’ll make a more finalized drawing of our chosen idea. At this stage, you can still make drastic changes, and we’ll work on refining to the final image. 3 revisions are included in the fee at this stage, after that it is $30/hour.

Final Stage

Once the drawing is finalized, I move to the final inking / painting stage and it’s very difficult to make changes at this point. It’s not impossible, but it’s very difficult, and a fee may be charged for excessive changes at this point.

Once the drawing / painting is complete, and after final approval by you, I will go ahead and format the image for your desired final output, and will send you your requested final file / original. Final payment is due at this time.

I hope this helps illuminate the process of commissioning art a little bit, and I look forward to working with you!
