Life size portrait

Measurements are in feet.
 Base size: 3x6  Anime or Realistic Stlye
 B&W  $140
 Color  $150
 Single person Full Portrait only


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.


 

Choice of Media

Black and White options


Color options


Additional items at additional cost

Familiars and Other Animals $3 each
You may choose from "Familiars and Other Animals" OR "Monsters," not both.

If you know anymore I can do those too, these are just the ones I know. You can also have other animals that aren't in the game.


Monsters (including Dragons) $3 each
You may choose from "Familiars and Other Animals" OR "Monsters," not both. Also some spells, familiars, or monsters may not be able to be put in the normal portrait. If they are everything will be drawn a bit smaller to fit everything on the page.
Casting spells $3

you do not need to have the something that you are aiming at in the picture, I can draw it so you are aiming at something off the page.

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.


Backgrounds

Solid color background


Scenes (for background if solid color not chosen)


Time of Day


Seasons



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).
