I'm
typically open for commission work, although there may be a
waiting list in some cases. I do try to keep waiting times down
to a minimum, so if you have any questions about turn-around
times please feel free to ask me.
The Commission Process
First we'll need to get a clear
understanding of what you're looking for. Please send me any
roughs, sketches, reference guides or sample images you have.
The more you can give me, the better. Once we determine what
you'd like I'll give you a price quote.
At this point I require a down payment before I'll begin work.
The amount needed will depend on the price quoted.
Small orders (30 dollars or less) : fee must be paid in full
before I'll begin
Larger orders (31 dollars to 100 dollars): half of the fee must
be paid before work starts
Very Large orders (over 100 dollars) : a third of the fee is
required up front
My fees include regular mail shipping costs. If you wish the
final product shipped by courier there will be an additional
cost to this. Please ask me for quotes.
Once we agree on a price and this
down payment is received, I'll send you a rough sketch of the
work. My roughs are not pretty ones, so please ask for
clarification on any parts of it. Now is also the time to ask
for any major changes. As I want you to be happy with the
finished work, I appreciate any input you wish to offer at this
stage.
Once the rough is approved by you I’ll begin work. Depending on
the nature of the work I’ll send one or two progress images so
you can see how the work is coming along. I'll need your
approval at each stage to make sure you like it before I
proceed. Typically I will email you a scan of the work as it
stands.
When the work is complete, I’ll send you a proof of the finished
piece (watermarked if the fee has not yet been paid in full).
The remainder of any fees will be due at this time. Once that is
received the finished product is shipped out.
I Do Draw:
- portraits of pets and other
animals, real or imaginary
- from your own concept sketches
- fantasy and sci-fi themes by preference, wildlife and other
natural images too. Dinosaurs, ancient mammals, or just
characters of your own devising. All are welcome topics.
- nudity, if it’s tasteful or playful
- minor fetish images, including tickling (with clothing or
tasteful partial nudity), minor bondage gear and/or restraints
(excluding private parts or items that focus on these areas).
When in doubt, ask me for clarification on these points.
- transformation art (i.e. a human transforming into an
animal/creature, etc)
- violent or gory themes
- horror themes
- tattoo designs
I Do Not Draw:
- pornographic images (either solo or
group/pairings)
- young characters without clothing or in any "adult situations"
- major fetish images (such as scat, watersports, bondage
scenes, etc. Again, when in doubt, ask)
- human portraiture (I do draw humans and human characters, just
not pictures of your Great Aunt. I'll draw you a Vulcan, but if
you want Mr. Spock there will be ... differences.)
Copyrights for
Purchased/Commissioned Art
Images purchased or commissioned from
me do not carry reproduction rights or copyright for that image.
That is, you purchase the finished work, but not the right to
make endless copies of it for resale, in any format. If you'd
like to own the copyright for the image, we must negotiate a
"work for hire" fee for that image.
You may repost any images commissioned by me on your personal
website or image site (such as DeviantArt) crediting myself as
the creator.
You may make copies for your personal use (i.e. a copy for your
wall/locker/binder), just not for resale.
If you purchase work from me and decide to have it tattooed on
yourself later, I'm okay with that too. It's not as if you're
gonna resell your arm on eBay :D . Such tattoos may be
photographed and posted to various image boards the same as any
other image I create, with credit back to me for the image
design. However purchased art may not be used as a "sample" in a
tattoo parlour or other business without my pre-approval.
If
you want the piece for re-sale specifically, please tell me up
front. This includes, but is not limited to, T-shirts, book
covers, collectable card games, art books or collections, etc. I
welcome work of this sort, but I do need to know up front as
there may be additional fees associated with this for
reproduction rights in perpetuity.
Generally speaking, I'm not a copyright nazi. Tell me what you
want the work for up front and you'll find that I'm quite
reasonable when it comes to these things.
