Commissions - Information

COMMISSION TYPES DEFINITIONS

Headshot - Bust/Halfbody - Fullbody

Headshot: Includes the head of the character only.

Bust/Halfbody: Bust includes the head to the bottom of the chest, while halfbody includes the head to the mid-thighs. Hands are usually included for posing. Bust and halfbody is usually the same price; however, it is separated for easier explanation on the commissioners' part.

Fullbody: Includes the whole body of the character.

Sketch - Lineart - Flat Color - Shaded - Finished

Sketch: A quick sketch of what the artwork might look like. Quick color is added for guidance. Most iterations are made here.

Lineart: The sketch is cleaned up so the artist can start coloring.

Flatcolor: Coloring of the artwork without any shading. Laying out colors of the character.

Shaded: Shading is done on top of the flatcolor.

Finished: Any further additions or iterations with lighting, color and mood are made here. The color of the lineart is changed to fit the overall artwork.

Simple background VS Complex Background

Simple Background: Free. A transparent background, solid background or simple large shapes for backgrounds without any detail.

Complex Background: With cost. Anything that needs shading for the background is considered complex, including various environments (like nature or indoor spaces). Complex and detailed graphics are also considered a complex background. The more complex and larger the background gets, the higher the price.

I will give a discount for backgrounds considered to be in-between, such as simple backgrounds with minimal detail or text.

STEP-BY-STEP PROCESS

1. Send me a commission request using one of the methods from the contact page. Send me which commission you would like and any information regarding what you would like to add to the commission.

If you haven't sent me any information regarding the commission, I will send you a list/form so that you can provide exactly what I will need to start on the commission. If you sent me the required information at the beginning, I will either immediately approve/disapprove your commission, or ask for more information on what I need clarity on.

2. Approval / Disapproval of commission request will be made. You are expected to pay within 21 days of notice. You can either pay me in full, or make a 50% upfront payment and the rest of the 50% after approval of draft.

3. A quick draft of the commission will be made with color. I will then send the sketch to you and wait for approval. I will not continue the commission until approval has been made.

4. If it’s a larger piece, you will receive multiple WIPs and I will wait for approval.

5. Done! I will send you the commission files. Commissions will take anywhere between a day to 3 weeks depending on my schedule, the queue and the commission type.
