$5 Sketch Bust Commissions Available!

Mon Jul 20, 2009, 10:33 AM
Commissions are still OPEN!

Well, packing has started and the boxes are beginning to stack up! I'm really looking forward to moving in and setting up the new apartment. Once in Pittsburgh, I'm hoping to either join or start a sketch jam group and a runners' club. With the colleges nearby I'm hoping to make connections. :) Of course, I'll also be using the month of August to do more job hunting - it'll be easier in person than the long-distance searches I've been conducting for the past two months. There's a lot to prepare for in the next few weeks!!

Through the hustle and bustle of the move, I'm still taking lineart commissions. Thanks to the people who have commissioned me already, I was just able to meet July's expenses! Still, I've had to borrow money from my grandparents to put toward August's bills and some moving expenses, and that still won't cover everything. With the move underway, it will take a little longer than usual to complete new commissions, but I will definitely have internet access again by mid-August. For prices and information, please see THIS COMMISH JOURNAL INFO.

To offer affordable character art and help raise funds for my move, I am now open to doing $5 SKETCH BUST COMMISSIONS of your original characters. Since they are sketch commissions, there will be no additional hi-res version, only a 100dpi image of your character. Sketches will be one color (blue unless otherwise specified) and will look about like these:

I greatly appreciate all commissions, and those generous people who are willing to help! Please email or Note me with information about your character: at least two picture references would be most helpful! My email and paypal address are both: phoenix_rising614@hotmail.com

Commission Information

:bulletred: For current availability and openings, check out the latest journal on my main DA page. :bulletred:

I will take no more than FOUR commissions at a time. When the four slots are full-up, I won't accept any others until one is finished and that slot re-opens. Also, I won't queue future commission requests if the slots are already full. This will keep things on a semi-sane level for myself and it'll ensure that nothing and no one gets accidentally overlooked. Please check my most recent journal entry to see if there are any open slots. First one to claim that newly opened spot gets it.

PRICES (USD$):
Each commission will include a 250dpi hi-res file unless otherwise noted

HEADSHOT/BUST:
1 character, Pencil sketched = $8 (*no hi-res file*)
Pencil-shaded sketch = $12 (*no hi-res file*)

1 character, Clean lineart = $12 (ex: [link] )
Shaded lineart = $20
Colored lineart = $25 (ex: [link] )


HALF TO FULL BODY:
1 character, Sketched = $10 (*no hi-res file*)
Pencil-shaded sketch = $15 (*no hi-res file*)

1 character, Clean lineart = $20 (ex: [link] [link] [link])
Shaded monochrome lineart (one color) = $25 (ex: [link] )
Hand inked (brush & ink, traditional media) = $30
Colored lineart = generally $40 - $70 (depending on styles, etc) (ex: [link] [link] [link] )
+ Background = add $5 - $40, depending on the complexity and medium


CHIBI, FULL BODY
Chibi sketch = $10 (*no hi-res file*) (ex: [link] )
Chibi sketch, pencil shaded = $15 (*no hi-res file*)

Chibi, Clean lineart = $15 (ex: [link] [link] [link] )
Chibi, Colored lineart = $25 each (ex: [link] [link] [link] )


PLEASE provide at least two reference images of each character, and a written description of what you would like! This makes it easier for me and also ensures that you will get what you want!


SUBJECT MATTER / STRENGTHS / WEAKNESSES:
I'm open to drawing almost anything. However I MAY refuse a commission due to subject matter if it's out of my comfort zone. In such a case, I will explain my reasons and we can either alter or drop the idea. And, yes, I do accept fanart commissions.

My number one strength lies in drawing human characters, especially women/females. I especially enjoy expressive faces and poses. I can draw animals and anthros with references, which I am fine with looking up. My favorite coloring medium is digitally in Photoshop (check my gallery to see if any of my coloring styles strike your fancy).

My weaknesses: Super-buff/muscular guys, huge anime eyes, big city scenes, painted/painterly work.


DIGITAL WORK:
Traditional media work will be scanned and worked at 250dpi. The finished product that I email to you will include a 250dpi hi-res version of the completed image and a smaller, resized image. The only exception to this is a pencil sketch. Sketch commissions do NOT include hi-res images and are only available at 100dpi, ranging between 6-9 inches in height.


IMAGE RIGHTS:
The image is obviously yours to keep and use wherever/whenever you'd like. Unless you want to buy exclusive rights to the image, I retain the right to post the completed image in my gallery with all the appropriate owner rights/links to you included in the "comments" section. If you do not want me to post your commission in my gallery, please discuss this with me at the outset. I'd really appreciate it if you linked to me (if you decide to post it somewhere) but I wouldn't demand it or anything. That's purely up to you. :) Again, yes I will draw copyrighted characters (Kim Possible, Nightcrawler, Aang, etc).


PAYMENT:
Please wait until AFTER I tell you the price of your commission. After we discuss what you would like and I quote you a price you may either:

1) Pay half of the quoted fee BEFORE I start drawing anything, then pay the rest AFTER your picture is finished.
--OR--
2) Pay full amount of quoted fee UP FRONT.

I will not start on your picture until I have at least half-payment from you. I won't email out any hi-res or completed pictures until I have received the full payment. Should you choose to pay half now, half later, you may ask for small progress sketches. Once the picture is completed and I have received full payment, I will send you the 250dpi image and a resized image via email.

I accept PAYPAL payments only. My paypal account is phoenix_rising614@hotmail.com (the same as my email address). Please put your DA name (or similar info) in the subject area so I know which commission project to credit. Please don't send any payment until we have both talked about the commission and agreed on the price.
