general notes on pricing

Additional time spent on my end working with too-minimal reference material, rendering more complex character designs, and/or going back to make changes after approval may increase the final price. Please check the FAQ for tips on how to save time and money when commissioning me

I accept USD payment through PayPal. Commissions are for digital art which will be issued as image files via email correspondence. No physical items will be shipped as part of a commission

terminology examples

With visual aids to clarify terms used in the pricing guide and that may be used when discussing your commission

how much of the figure is shown

Head/Bust

The head and shoulders


Half Body

From the head to the mid-thigh


Full Body

The entire figure, from head to toes

level of polish

Sketch

A sketch will have all of its details, such as form and shading, indicated with lines only. The sketch may be filled with one color to helps it stand out from a background


Clean Lines

Clean lines are based on a sketch, and will have few or no stray marks and no tonal or lighting indications. A figure rendered cleanly may be filled with a color to help it stand out from a background


Flat Colors

Flat colors can be added to a sketch or to clean lines.


Colors & Shading

When Colors & Shading are added to clean lines, this is considered a full rendering as it involves most of the previous steps (sketch, clean lines, flat colors, plus colors & shading)
