Hello,
I’m Mike and I’d like to thank you for your interest in a commission! This page will hopefully serve as an F.A.Q. of sorts to help you out, if you want to contact me for a commission click here.
Here is a sample of my work and rates:
A full color character head to toe is $80, waist up is $60. For each additional “head to toe” character $60, waist up on additional characters is $35.
Special effects like the electricity, aura in the picture above, as well as detailed armor are not included in pricing and need to be discussed for proper pricing.
Backgrounds are to be priced depending on their complexity. Simple color is free.
Examples :
Below are examples of personal projects & commissions that show my range of abilities with characters, special effects and backgrounds:
The steps of a commission:
1- After we agree on the details & payment, you pay half up front. Once I start the first-half of payment is non-refundable.
2- I create a low-detail pose and email it to you. Once approved, I move on to details (hair, clothes, face etc) once that is approved I move to the next stage. This where changes to the pose/hair/etc are simple & free for a few edits.
3- Next stage is inking, coloring, shading. I’ll send an example over of the colors for approval and once that’s done, shading/highlights begin. Changes to color, are fine but any larger changes like the pose, outfit, etc will be charged by an hourly rate..
4- After the commission is done, a low-res & watermarked version is sent over. After final payment, you’ll get a hi-res pic without a watermark. At this point the commission complete and is non-refundable.
