FAQ
How do I order a commission?
It's simple! Use the buttons above to pay the deposit and send a GOOD picture of the person or animal you want me to draw! Once I am finished with your piece, I will send a watermarked image and paypal request for the remaining balance to your email. Once you confirm you are happy with the final product and are paid in full, you will receive your artwork.
How will I receive my commission?
I will send a PDF file of your artwork to your email once it is completed. I will also package and ship the original to you upon request, you will need to provide a name and address. Shipping times will vary based on your location.
How long does a commission take?
Commissions typically take 7 days although the size and complexity of the piece can change the amount of time it takes to complete. If I feel a commission will take longer than 7 days to complete, I will let you know how long I expect it to take.
If you have a specific deadline that you need your commission by, TELL ME BEFORE PAYING A DEPOSIT. I am willing to work within your timeframe when possible, but if it is not possible for me to finish before your deadline, I want to tell you that before you place your order. Please understand that informing me of an impending deadline 2 days before you need it does not give me enough time to accomodate you.
What is the deposit for? Is it refundable?
The deposit is to cover the time I've invested in case of a cancellation, so that I don't spend hours working on a piece without any compensation. It is not refundable.
I want a commissioned piece other than a portrait ex. custom illustration, character art, tattoo design, album cover etc.
Awesome! Check out my galleries to make sure my style works with your vision, and email me with your commission request. Tell me what you want me to draw, and how large the piece should be. I will quote a price based on the size, complexity, and amount of time it'll take to complete the piece.
I want my commissioned piece printed on the stuff you print your work on!
Great idea! I offer prints of my work through Society6, which puts artwork on lots of different products like leggings, shirts, mugs, rugs, blankets, tapestries, phone cases etc. and I can upload your artwork to my shop so you can purchase it on any product they offer. Just let me know if you would like me to do that for you.
Is my photo good enough?
For portraits, I require a photo reference. A good photo is not blurry, it is well lit, and allows me to see the subject's facial features clearly. Visual learners, check out the examples below.
Good
-Not blurry
-Well Lit (Natural light is best)
-Easy to see facial features
Not Good
-Poorly Lit
-Blurry
-Difficult to make out facial features
