Current Status: Available!

Check the Commission Queue for my current turnaround time.
If you’d like to get a commission from me, this is the place to look! I am available for different kinds of commissions in different media. Take a glance through the gallery here on this site, and my gallery at DeviantArt to get some idea of the things I can do. I would be most happy to draw Messenger characters, or characters from your own story or comic, but I am very open to other ideas as well! I also really enjoy working with vectors, examples here and here!

Things to Know Before Commissioning Me:

Please read and understand these terms before inquiring about commissions!

I am happy to draw:

• my characters
• your characters
• other ideas you may have

I will NOT draw:

• porn or gore
• “fanart” or art of someone else’s characters UNLESS you have special permission from the creator before coming to me
• in someone else’s style

I reserve the right to:

• display the art I make for you on my website or in my portfolio
• refuse a a commission for any reason

You will agree:

• not to resell, reprint, or otherwise mass-produce the art I draw for you (this includes printing the art in a book, magazine, newspaper, or other print medium; using the artwork on a business or commercial website; using the artwork as promotional material; etc.) UNLESS you have requested and paid for additional reprinting rights from the beginning of the commission.
• Not to claim that you created/drew the commissioned art I drew for you. (“Look at this picture I drew of my character!”)

Payment:

• I prefer to take payment before I get started working to ensure that I don’t end up working for free. If I take too long to get started, I will refund your money, but if I have already started working there will be no refunds.
• On commissions worth $30 or more, I am willing to split up payments, so that half is paid at the start and the remaining half is paid at the end of the sketch stage when the concept is finalized and the work is set to be completed.
• I am currently only accepting payments by PayPal.

I will gladly work with you during the “sketch” phase of the work to ensure that what I am making is exactly what you want. However, once we’ve finalized the idea, there will be no more changes and what we’ve agreed upon is what you will receive. Additionally, I will replace anything that gets lost in the mail if you are purchasing a traditional commission.

Commission Queue

Here is my list of current jobs, and an estimated turnaround if you commission me. Purchasing a commission will put you at the end of the line. If I am waiting on payment from several people, I will place the commissions in order of when payment was received.

I will get back to you as soon as I can with a price quote or any extra questions I may have. Please do not send payment until I have accepted your offer and agreed to do the work!

A short description of what you would like:

Is there a particular style you are looking for? If you can include links to examples in my DeviantArt gallery that would help!

Please also include any links to reference drawings or material you want me to look at!

Once I have accepted the offer, I will not begin work until the agreed amount (whether in full or half) is received. I will let you know when I receive your payment.

And that’s all there is to know about commissions!
