SHOP
My art is available for purchase in the form of prints, posters, and commissions.
On occasion, I offer custom art commissions. My availability varies based on the types of projects in queue. Commissions can range from a private sale to freelance work,to commercial or temporary jobs. Every commission I conduct is a separate and unique process that I treat on an individual basis.
Private commissions are the most frequent types that I conduct- original character designs, portraits, and rpg character groups are examples of this. Private commissions are when the art is to be sold to the buyer for personal use. That is, the work is not to be resold, but copies can be made to be shared among others. I retain all rights to the art in a private commission, though if the work is requested to be used for display or personal use, that is allowed. Rights to the art may be purchased additionally.
Commercial/publicized (non-private) commissions are something that is treated differently, because the purpose of the art is different. Usually, the art is to be used commercially, in a form of media design (packaging, layout work, mascot design), and has the potential to be resold. Typically speaking, because the work may be reused and resold, the cost of this process is higher. To compensate for copyright sales (in which I give up all rights to the art), I give the option of selling the work at exactly twice its original value. The only times in which I’ve done this are for small businesses or projects in which the work is not used for private purposes.
General Notes on Production & Costs
Typically, I hesitate listing commission costs, because each project is very specific, and costs may fluctuate- they may be lower or higher than what is listed in the range I offer on this table. This guide is based on the commissions I normally conduct, so this list provides a typical range.
Shipping and handling on most artwork ranges from $5.95-25.95. This depends on the size of the artwork and the medium in which it was completed, which can affect the way the art is packaged and shipped. Most commissions I receive are for digital artwork, and shipping off a CD and print of that art does weigh less.
Factors that contribute to commission costs: amount of detail requested, b/w or color, number of characters, background, size of the image. The only real way for me to be able to gauge how much your piece will cost is by knowing what is required of the project. Only then will I be able to provide you with an accurate estimate.
Each project is unique. For lower end values, please expect a shoulder portrait with little to minor background (color work) or for full-body drawings, simple sketches. Larger pictures and pieces requiring more detail, which in turn require much more time and are priced accordingly.
Ebony/Charcoal/Pencil Sketch- $55-85
Pen and Ink/Lineart- $75-85
Colored Pencils/Markers/Watercolor/Acrylics- $80-350
Computer Art/Painter/Photoshop- $150-400
Large Formatted Art
I will work in almost any size. The largest commissions I’ve done have been about 24×36 inches. If that’s a painting as acrylics or oils, that is a long time– I typically no longer do very large sizes. If completed digitally, the only extra cost is for printing; anything above an image at 11×17 is outsourced to a print shop. That takes no additional effort in terms of time, and one option I like to recommend is taking the digital files I send you and you can select your favorite source to print it. I’m happy to help either way. For paintings that are larger, contact me. These will certainly take more time to complete.
