Different styles, and subjects?
My gallery showcases the different styles I'm most familiar with. If there's a specific style notify me of that including a link to the gallery piece.
I am open for experimental works not shown in my gallery. Whether it's the subject such as sci-fi, architecture, specific creature or a style. (or other.)
My main focus, but not exclusively, has been on organic images, either organic as in a character, or as in action scene. Whether it's pony or non-pony.
Again, my gallery should give a good idea of what I'm familiar with.
Of course this is all a rough guide, I'm open for creating just about anything, if it's not in my gallery feel free to ask!




Limits:
- No R34/Pornographic imagery, suggestive or borderline is open for discussion.
- I am open for gore. Large amounts will be considered, but pricing may differ.
My price range
Because of the flexibility in my work I can only really give some rough estimates for the price. You can always send me a note with some information to request a rough estimate for the price. This price can change upon further discussion or information.
A lot of the price depends on the complexity of the entire piece, from the character, clothing, background, but for example also when having to make different concept sketches for multiple different outfits or creature designs.

Price factors:
These are all estimates, and I'm open for even larger works, but those are harder to estimate, In general I will go through all commissions on a case-to-case basis.
Payment options
I only accept Paypal
I handle my prices primarily in USD, (Euro being a possible exception if desired)
Payments are made upfront either in full or part. The exact division can be discussed.
For a smooth process it's often divided into the different phases of the commission.
Example: Up front payment before sketch process. Upon approval of sketches and a direction is chosen, next payment is made.

Commission roundup
By default:
Furthermore I will also upload a Work In Progress image to my gallery.
In general I do not plan on recording the process, due to current storage limitations, and the additional time required to manage and put it together.
I hope this was informative enough to give you an good overview of my commissions.
If there's anything unclear, not listed, or otherwise unknown, let me know in the comments or you can send me a personal note.
PS: From time to time I might start special bulk commission runs, as seen previously in October here:
These are often smaller, experimental, faster paces commissions. Mostly without revisions of any sort, made in single sessions.
PPS: I also have a Patreon where you can support me, but at the moment it is kept separate and doesn't impact or involve commissions in any way.
- I will upload the final result to my gallery.
- I will also upload a WIP to my gallery.
- The commissioner received a final version twice the size as my gallery upload.
- Files will be saved in .PNG unless specified otherwise.
