Welcome to how to buy art from me!
I am both a self-taught and traditionally educated artist who has been drawing for pretty much forever. I've done artist's alleys, produced merchandise, and had my work published in books, zines, and games!
Three ways to play!
"Realistic!"
head shot - $25 USD
half body - $50 USD
full body - $100 USD
For when you just want someone looking cool and colourful with various framing and no frills, darn it!a charge of $10-50 may be added at my discretion for complexity/extras
for extra characters, large props, or backgrounds please see 'per hour'
Double dose of cute!
Chibi!
$40 USD
A is shiny and round with simple details.
B is goofy and detailed with simple shading.
For when you want something adorable to make you smile or laugh (or maybe creep you out).for extra characters, props, backgrounds please see 'per hour'
So many lines...
Line-y Halfbody!
rough - $65 USD
soft - $100 USD
Almost looks like a tidy pencil sketch, with pops of colour in the eyes!
The pose will be simpler, the progress shots will be less, and extra detail may be added at my discretion (at no extra cost). For when you want a slightly different portrait of your baby, and enjoy artistic liberty.for extra characters, props, or different sizes please see 'per hour'
Leave it (mostly) to Chance!
Doodlebook!
$150+ USD
Get yourself a digital book (PDF) of artist’s choice surprise sketches, based on a character (or three) of your choice! Minimum of four pages, style and content will vary. Have a character you want to see, but don’t know what you want them to do? Leave it up to me (there will be a little questionnaire for you, though)!Extras/add-ons/upgrades/alternatives are also available:
+$25 USD to guarantee an extra page and/or an extra character (stackable)
+$5 USD for the PSD/AFPHOTO file
$40 USD for a single stand alone doodlepage
new commissions based on doodlepages may qualify for a price reduction!
looking for something else?
Per hour!
$25 USD/hour
Perhaps you want 6 full bodies having a water balloon fight at your local mall, or a line-y chibi? How is that possible based on the above options? By choosing this one instead!
To keep costs down and the process streamlined and simple, I've opted to have set prices for very specific items and anything else is paid by the hour. So if you want something not listed (that isn't in the prohibited section), don't be afraid to ask! I've done background paintings, game maps and buttons, logos, playing cards, concept art, comics, group pictures with backgrounds.... This can also apply to using a different drawing or colouring style.
(as a general idea of price, adding a background to a 'realistic' piece will usually double the cost)
Discounts!
Caught your attention, didn't I? ;P
Every once in a while, the wonderful people at Penguins Marathons run a game marathon with an auction to support a charity! A commission by me is often a prize... but in CAD, not USD (a pretty decent discount!). Whatever you bid goes to the charity, and if you want to get something fancier than your bid allows you can pay me the extra (still in CAD) afterwards!
What I will and won't do and what you can and can't do

I cannot and will not make money off it in any way, and you retain all rights to your characters.Payment: Upfront in full for 'realistic', chibi, and line-y, a down payment upfront for per hour with the rest upon completion (and calculation of hours used). All payments are made through Paypal in USD. Full refunds are not possible after work has started.Process: After agreeing upon an idea I will give you an estimated start date for your piece. Once started, I will send a few thumbnail options to choose from to the method you contacted me with, then when a choice is made I will invoice you. After payment is received I will continue sending progress shots for your approval; usually this is the rough sketch, the clean lines with rough colours, and a low-resolution version of the final piece. At any point up to and including the clean lines/rough colours you may request changes to your piece. When you receive the low-resolution final I will only make simple changes that were my mistake, so please pay attention to the progress shots! I will not continue working on the piece until you okay the current stage.I will work on all projects as my schedule allows. If a piece is required sooner than that, a rush/priority rate of $50 USD/hr, with a minimum amount of $25, will be charged (instead of the usual $25/hr or set prices). Regular per hour projects have a minimum charge of $15 USD.I reserve the right to reject or refund any request for any reason at any time. Prices and availability subject to change.
