Watchers

Hello!  I am thinking of doing commissions.  To start with, I'll open up slots for five commissions, first come first served.  Once they're all done, I'll figure out if anything needs adjusting before I open them up for good (if I do). :)

1. _______
2. _______
3. _______
4. _______
5. _______

=============================================
PRICE MODIFIERS and GENERAL POLICIES:

The below are my baseline prices, and they'll vary a bit depending on how much work is involved and loosely how much I enjoy doing them.   All prices are listed in USD, and will be agreed on before any work begins.  Payment by Paypal is preferred, but we can talk about other options.  By default, at the end of the commission you will receive a high-resolution image file suitable for printing, and I will be able to display (but not sell) copies of the image in my gallery or portfolio.  If you would like the original image on paper or a different set of copyright finagling, just ask and we can work it out.

Each price is for a single, full-figure image of a character (or complex object), with either no background or a very simple one (see examples).  Portraits / busts will be half that price, adding another character is +50% of the base price, adding a portrait of the same character to the side of a full-figure image is only +25%, and adding a full background or a few complicated / detailed props to the image may rate around +50%.  If you want an image that isn't of a person or character, ask away and we can try to figure out a decent deal together.

I may refuse a commission based on content, difficulty, or current work-load.  You're always welcome to ask (or ask again later), but anything past cheesecake, an action scene between 2-3 people, or a handful of images per person will probably be a no.

=============================================
STYLES, BASE PRICES, AND EXAMPLES

1-color sketches are rough and un-inked, and cost $5 each.
2-color sketches are semi-rough and involve one pencil and one pen, and cost $9 each.
3-color sketches are neat and tidy, containing two colored pencils, a pen, and cost $12.

[link] - Dave Wings.  2-color Sketch, full figure, no background.
[link] - Dave Wings.  3-color Sketch, full figure, no appreciable background.

I honestly love doing sketches, as they're fast enough and decent enough to be worth the price for commissioner and comissionee :)  However, for people who prefer more polished, fully-rendered work..

Digital Flat-color: $15
Digital Full-color: $20 (Cell shading or smooth shading, whichever works for the piece)
Fancy Linework: $25  (Fancy linework + digital flat-color: $30, +digital full-color: $35)
Watercolor: $25  (Fancy linework + watercolor: $35)

[link] - Davone. Full + Portrait, digital flat color (mostly), no background.
[link] - Half-elf.  Full figure, digital cell-shading, simple BG.
[link] - Squidguy. Watercolor, full-figure, simple background.
[link] - Kellis.  Watercolor portrait, no background.

Lastly, here's a combination example.  Throughout the commission process, I'll want to send at least one in-progress shot to make sure the picture is headed somewhere you like.  Below I link an example of this progress, which starts from stick figures and works all the way up to Fancy Linework.  Sadly, at the moment, the second image from the last is my ONLY example of fancy linework in this gallery (and the image before that is what the picture could look like without fancy linework).  This image would be classified as Fancy Linework, Complicated pose, 3 extra characters (Ankheg +3 adventurers), with marker/pencil traditional coloring (not currently offered), and probably be around $40-60 if someone had commissioned it and I had finished it.

=============================================

Expression sheets : A discount for groups of portraits of the same character (or person), done in 2-3 colors or full watercolor.  Both of the example expression sheets given would total a little bit above $50 -- one containing 43 2-color portraits, and the other containing a mixture of 2-color, 3-color, and one full-color portrait.

2-color: $10 for 5, $25 for 20. (black + 1 colored pencil of your choice)
3-color: $12 for 5, $30 for 20. (black + 2 colored pencils of your choice)
    water-color: $20 for 5. $50 for 20. (exactly what it sounds like)

===============================================

If there are any questions or comments, feel free to reply :)  I'll admit I just tossed this together, and don't mind advice.

Ummmmmmmm.
Yes.

I've gotten my message center down to about 1400, from 2800, though.

Just another few hundred to go!

Geeze and I thought 300 was bad. And thanks for the :+fav: on Bridge. I'm surprised that one gets faved so often, it's one of the ones I was less happy with ^^;
