Illustration Commission Pricing

Aside from the drawing type and complexity for a particular drawing, the delivery date will largely depend on my availability and how packed my drawing queue is. I try to include a delivery date estimate for each individual drawing type on my request page.

Additionally, I provide a rough delivery estimate with each request. However, please know that I reserve spots in my queue only after the payment has been made, so I am able to provide more-accurate estimates then.

Naturally, the duration varies depending on the drawing type and the desired complexity. As you can imagine, a fully-illustrated epic multi-level battlefield scene with numerous monsters and characters takes longer than a bust of a plain mannequin-looking warforged.

In the case of a Full Body Character Drawing, for example, it takes me about 3-4 days to complete a drawing. Sometimes it takes me a little less than that, and sometimes quite a bit more.

Also, for certain drawing types I offer to include a rough sketch before the final draft, which is an opportunity for us to discuss and confirm that we're headed in the right direction, or make any changes, if necessary. Typically, the final draft is ready about a week after the rough sketch has been confirmed.

Please keep in mind that one of the factors for the way I've priced my drawings is how long an average drawing takes, and if the request contains something extraordinarily time-consuming or complex, then there will likely be extra cost associated with that. Please know, however, that I will inform you well in advance if that is the case and we'll have the opportunity to discuss and figure out the best path forward.

Lastly, it's important to mention that life happens and sometimes delays occur. Please know that my approach, despite any turbulence or delay, has been to always prioritize the art (without rushing it or compromising on the quality) which doesn't help when there are delays, but that's just non-negotiable for me.

I currently accept payments primarily through PayPal. It's convenient, secure, and available virtually everywhere.

For other methods we'd have to discuss further so I can evaluate the feasibility, however please know that I don't accept crypto.

I hate to give a vague answer, but it really depends on what you have in mind. As a general rule, if all of the characters in the drawing need to be fully visible, then the rates would be the same as ordering multiple individual characters. On the other hand, if some characters will be partially visible in the finished composition, then there might be room for a discount. Please get in touch with me via email and let's discuss.

It all typically starts with the request page. There you can use the structured form to specify all the details and visual references you'd like about your drawing. Alternatively, you can provide this information via email, if that's what you'd prefer.

You will be given the option to pay immediately after submitting the request. Please know that I reserve spots in my queue only after the payment has been made, however no payment is required to submit a request.

I will get in touch with you after reviewing the details in your request. Once the details are agreed upon, and you've made the purchase, I will begin the drawing process.

Depending on the drawing type, I can send a rough sketch for you to approve so we can discuss and confirm that we're headed in the right direction. We can also skip the rough sketch to save some time.

You will receive the finished drawing via email, and if there are no final touch-ups to be made, then that should be the end of that journey - until the next one!

Yes!

You may submit a request to commission a drawing from me using my request page.

By default, all of the illustrations commissioned through my website are intended strictly for personal use, so you may NOT use them in any commercial capacity without receiving explicit written permission from me.

I'd be more than glad to draw something for you for commercial use or allow you to use your existing personal-use drawing commercially, but only after we've discussed and agreed on the the terms. So shoot me an email if that's what you're after.
