Line Drawing Either Style: $125
Widest the portrait can be is 3 feet. Height may not
exceed 30 feet for the entire picture size.
For every extra foot in height add $15 note: For every foot
in height your picture is gaining 3 feet squared. Free Shipping
and handling. If you take off height -$15 untill you reach 3x5
feet.
Spells may be added, as well as familiars, and some monsters.
Due to spacing problems if monsters, some familiars and some spells
are added it will be necessary to increase the size of the paper
to keep you character at life size. Familiars can be overlapping
you so it is not always necessary to increase paper size with
familiars.
Height would look best between 5 and 7 feet, but it is your
choice.
If it is done in color the only mediums available are acrylic
paint or chalk pastels.
If it is done in black and white the only medium is charcoal.
If it is painted wrinkling may occur since it is done on extremely
heavy drawing paper, but I do not suspect that wrinkling will
happen.
There will be extra paper at the top and bottom so it does not
look squished.
Additions in paper height are for spells, monsters, and familiars,
and possibly backgrounds. Therefore no 30 foot people.
*Portrait: a picture of just the head and the
shoulders
**Full portrait: a picture of full body
Dual Portrait: 2 people
The smaller the paper size the harder it is to make
the portrait look realistic, it starts to get a catroonish look
to it.
You can pick sizes in between the ones listed and I
will figure out a price for it.
If you want a line drawing with no shading or coloring
the price will be reduced $5 on all sizes except for the 5.5 x
8.5 and smaller.
It may be possible to purchase just a photocopy of
the original at a discounted price, this will only apply to certain
sizes, haven't made up my mind yet as to if I want to do this.
Sizes would be the 9x12 or the 12x18. Generally the copies will
not turn out as well color wise, and if you get the 12x18 a inch
around the whole border will be croped off, since the copy machine
copy-beds are only 11x17.
Since I now have a scanner in my possesion I can send
you a partial scanned copy of your order so you can see what it
will look like(any size). If you do not own a scanner and want
to put your picture up on a wedsite I can scan it and send it
to you after I recieve payment. I can send it on a disk or a email
for $2. I can't do that on 18x24 or the 20.5x30.5 pictures, they
are just too big, and the cord on my scanner is too short to put
it in a area that would give me enough room.
scanner type: Microtek, 42 bit, 300x1200 dpi
I will scan the pictures as illustrations in true color,
in 300 dpi, unless you tell me what you want.
Most of the ones on this site are in 96 dpi.

Only one spell may be chosen!
If you would like others added, E-mail me with the spell name,
number, and the word description of what it looks like when you
use it on a creature, or yourself. This does not guarantee that
I will add it, but it gives it a better chance.
For items with really long or complicated descriptions $2
kinda like this cloak I saw...a deep blue satin cloak. The
finest blue satin has been embroidered with thread of gold, orange,
red and yellow, making large eastern goldfish across the surface
of the cloak. Gems of various color have been sewn in for eyes,
twinkling in and out of the rippling material.

Most spells and all monsters and Familiars must be on a full portrait,
I can make exceptions if you tell me what you want.
You must E-mail me with your character description
in the orderform, this includes what you are wearing,
your age, height, weight, race, hair color, complexion, eye color,
hair style, and scars (can be included, but it is best if you
are not a giant, living scar). Make sure to put all of the items
that you really want drawn in, in bold. I may leave out items
at my discretion if you are too cluttered with stuff. It is best
that you have clothing or armor on, I will not draw you in the
nude, or anything obscene.
If there is a special
pose you want your character in, send me a sketch or something.
Stick figures work best, or describe it as best you can in words.
No words, slogans, and such that don't go with the
game. They tend to ruin pictures. However, if you want your name
written on the vertical or horizontal edge, that is fine
Portrait for a present!
Order a portrait for a friend and have them sent right
to them!
You must have the order in with 5 weeks advanced notice,
the persons address that you are having it shipped to, and when
you need it to be there. I will send it out about 5-7 days before.
However I cannot guarantee that it will arrive perfectly on time,
even the gods cannot predict the Mail service (shipping to other
countries will cost more and I will send them earlier)
Shipping
All portraits will be sent in mail tubes. Shipping and handling
will be added onto the final cost. The price depends on how much
your order is worth. All orders at $60 and over (before shipping
charges) get free shipping.
Payment
I can accept money orders, cashiers' checks,
cash (Send at your own risk, I cannot be responsible for
cash lost in the mail. It is generally safer to send money with
paper wrapped around it so it cannot be seen.), or personal
checks (it must clear the bank before I send your picture)
sorry for any inconvenience.
Return Policy
NO returns!!! The only exception is if the picture was seriously
damaged before you get it. I will not do returns under most circumstances
because of the use of scanners and color copiers. They will be
insured, so if they are damaged take it to a post office, have
them check it out and if it is their fault you can file a claim,
and somehow through that you can get your money back. I do not
know the specifics of this yet since it has never happened so
far. A delivery confirmation notice will also be used so I know
that you got your order. To those who saw this section before
it was changed, there apparently is no such thing as a damage
notice, when I was finding stuff out at the post office they confused
me a little on this.
*****Final notes*****
*The pictures are my best interpretation of the descriptions you
give me.
*I may display the work I do for you in my example pages, only
part of the picture would be shown.
*All pictures are done on high quality paper with high quality
supplies.
*Charcoal and other materials that will potentially rub off I
will spray with fixative, it may smell a little when you open
it.
*The pictures should generally be completed between a few days
to a few weeks depending on the media. Shipping should take about
one week. The timing on this starts when I get all the information
I need to start your order. I will email you when I start your
order.
*you do not need to be any specific age to order, but you need
to be able to pay.
*If I feel crazy enough I may offer clay sculptures of peoples
characters, keep checking my site to see if I am offering this
(in May if I feel like it).
