COMMISSIONS

Firstly, thank you so much for considering or at least being curious of commissioning me! It definitely means a lot!For now, MY COMMISSIONS ARE CLOSED as I'm re-organizing everything, finishing personal projects and adding store stuff on both Ko-fi and my future website.But for a preview! Here is a general breakdown of how I price my character art commissions*:

HeadshotHalf-bodyFull-body
Monochrome$25$55$80
+Color+$15-20+$20-30+$30-50
+Background+$8-40+$10-50+$15-60
+Extra Character+$20+$50+$75

My Ko-fi page is where I normally handle commissions, so please visit that page. Follow me there for alerts on when those slots open up. I may also occasionally mention open slots on my social media.

Depending on complexity, color and background additions, it can fall within those price ranges.This is subject to change depending on factors like time, style-choice and extras like multiple characters. More details on my Ko-fi and here when available.*I also can do custom requests that don't fall under character art, but it is subject to approval on my part.VISUAL EXAMPLES AT A LATER DATE! A WORK-IN-PROGRESS!

- All commissions and payments will be handled through Ko-fi when slots are available. First come first serve, so keep watch there. Followers get updates on when it opens.
- Full payment is upfront AFTER securing a commission slot and design agreement. (It used to be 50%, but due to the AI issue, full upfront is a safeguard.)

DURING PRODUCTION:
- I will send you up to 2 work-in-progress sketches to make sure we're on the right track.
