I've finally decided to make a commission information page. It seemed easier to link people to a page rather than reciting out my prices to each person individually.
Below you will find my Commission Statuses, my Terms, my Commission Menu w/ prices and process, and my FAQ.
If you have any questions please feel free to ask.
Commission Statuses:
Cartoon Commissions: OPEN
Digital Painting Commissions: OPEN and LIMITED
For more examples, check out my gallery!
My Terms:
- I accept payments through PayPal only. Prices are in USD.
- I will only provide the full-quality, un-watermarked, final product after full payment is received.
- For Digital Painting Commissions (and any commissions over $50 USD) I require half of payment up front, and the rest of payment is due upon completion. The first half of the payment acts as a deposit and is non-refundable.*
- I will not start work until first half of payment is received.
- Again, you will only receive watermarked, low-resolution previews of the work until I receive full payment!
- I reserve the right to decline or cancel any commission for any reason. *I will issue a full refund if I cancel your commission.
- If you cancel a commission with me and work has been started, I will provide said work at its current stage of completion with no refund.
When you commission me, you are not only paying for a product but also to be placed into my schedule.
If you cancel a commission where no deposit was required (i.e: Cartoon Commissions), I will not provide said work at the current stage, as no payment has been exchanged to warrant it.
- I retain the rights as the original author of your commission. I may display the final product, drafts, and concepts included in the process of creating your commission as examples of my work in personal galleries including deviantART. I will credit you as my commissioner and author of characters (where applicable) unless privacy is requested.
- I also reserve the right to choose to record the process of any work I create for the purposes of posting on YouTube or any other social platform, be it for tutorial purposes or other.
Note: I do not record the process of every piece, so if you, as the client, know you would like to see the process of your commission, make sure to inquire as to whether I will be recording the process of your commission before I begin work (I don't own a time machine!)
- If you intend to use the commission commercially and/or profit from it, please send me a note regarding industry prices and release agreements.
- All completed commission pieces will bear my signature somewhere in the piece.
- I reserve the right to alter my terms and pricing at my discretion.
Thank you for your interest!

Cartoon Commissions
Cartoon commissions are illustrations that I will draw in a cartoonish style. In addition to my own styles, I am able to mimic other styles, such as Disney, The Simpsons, Scooby Doo, Marvel, and many more. My work is often utilized for people looking to have their OCs drawn in a particular style. If you desire a character style not listed in my examples note me what style you need your commission drawn in and I will research it to complete the work for you.
I offer both colored and uncolored options.
Process:
If commissions and slots are open, contact me with a note or email with your commission request. Please be as accurate as possible about your needs, including sketches and/or references if necessary.
I will provide a pricing quote and finalize details before beginning work.
Once work has began I will provide one watermarked draft update to make sure that I am accurate in my depiction of your character. This is the time to make the most dramatic changes and alterations if necessary (poses, setting, addition, etc.)
Once any needed alterations are made I will move on with color (if applicable). After-which I will provide another watermarked preview. This is the time to make minor alterations and touch ups. If any major changes are made at this point forward, it may incur additional fees.
Once approved, I will finish the piece and provide one final watermarked preview and an invoice with details on payment.
Once payment is received I will send the final high-resolution, un-watermarked version.
Please allow at least 5 business days for completion.

FAQ:
Q: Why is there a big price jump from Cartoon Commissions to Digital Painting Commissions?
A: Digital paintings take a lot more work to complete than my cartoon commissions, and therefore a lot more time is also needed to complete them.
Q: Do you take other types of commissions?
A: Yes. Send me a note with what you need and we can discuss it.
I also offer invitation design, photo-manipulation, business card design, book cover illustrations, story illustration, etc.
Q: How long does the commission take?
A: It all depends on how complex your commission is, where you are on the queue, and how quickly you respond to my draft approval requests. Completion time is anywhere from a few days to 2 weeks.
Q: Do you do rush delivery?
A: I may charge extra for rush delivery, and I reserve the right to do so at my discretion. Especially if I'm being asked to complete a complicated commission in a very short amount of time. Chances are I have other commissions that I am working on that came before yours, and putting one on rush means that I will need to focus more energy on getting that one completed while still continuing the work for the jobs I've already started. (No one gets put on the back burner here!)
I will always be upfront with how long a commission will take. I know how long it takes to complete the level of detail that I include in my Digital Painting Commissions. For example, I can not and will not promise to complete a painting that will require 23 hours (6-8 days) total worth of work in 6 hours (1-2 days). It's impossible. If I believe I will not be able to meet your rush deadline I will respectfully decline the commission.
Q: Will you paint real people? Can I request a portrait of my grandmother/baby/friend/etc?
A: Sure!
Q: Can you paint a family portrait?
A: Yes. Note or email me references and information (family size, backdrop settings, if pets or objects are involved, etc.) and I will quote you a price.
Q: Will you paint pets?
A: I don't often, but I can. If you would like me to digitally paint your pet send me a reference photo and I can quote you a price.
Q: Will you do any character? Even popular characters from TV Shows?
A: Sure will!
Q: Do you draw OC's?
A: Of course!
Q: Can I use this as my avatar, character portrait, Facebook profile, etc?
A: Go right ahead. I only ask that you kindly do not remove my signature or claim the piece as your own creation.
Q: Do you offer printing and/or framing options?
A: I do. However, if you desire a physical, printed version of your commission I will require that we move the transaction over to my Etsy store where I handle transactions that require a physical item to be shipped to the client. We can discuss sizing, mediums (canvas, paper, etc.), framing, prices, etc. on DeviantArt, but the final transaction will be made through Etsy where I will make a custom listing for you to purchase your printed and/or framed artwork.
