I'm finally set up to take commissions again! I am 'between jobs' and I need to keep income pouring in to pay off some debt and hopefully some figure drawing classes.
Samples are in my Weasyl page so I could organize them. You'll need a Weasyl account to see all the pics since most are NSFW.
Prices vary depending on what kind of finish you want:
Illustrations: Single pics for full body at 3000x4000px or similar resolution range from $25 (1 character b/w sketch) to $250 (2 characters painting with background and stuff). Closeups, icons, badges, portraits, busts and single body parts are obviously cheaper. Extra characters, excessive limbs, complicated backgrounds and the like can have an extra charge.
Ref Sheets: Inked B/W 3 poses and 4 expressions starting at $150. If you also want me to design the character, the design fee starts at $20.
Comics: Standard 6x9 comic size drawn on 11x17 canvas (roughly 3000x5000px). You write the page by page script. B/W inked, lettered and formatted: $70/page Add flat color or gray tones: +$30/page. I can also write the comic, adding +$20/page
These price ranges are a guideline and I reserve the right to charge more or less depending on the request. We'll work the price out to your satisfaction.
If you got any questions, ask me over Notes or IM!
This is stuff that 99% of commissioners doesn't care about, since they don't plan to develop commercial properties using the work they commission. But for the 1% that does:
====> THIS IS NOT WORK-FOR-HIRE <====
Given the nature of commissions and the assumed purpose of them (personal and limited use), I am not selling any rights to them.
TL;DR version: I own all the rights to any artwork I create, characters I design and stories I develop. If a character design or comic is jointly developed with the commissioner, then we both jointly own all rights.
Long winded version:
Under no circumstances whatsoever am I relinquishing any rights to any artwork I produce as a commission. This means you are paying me to draw what you want, but in the case of illustration, you won't own any rights to the work produced, which means you can't put it on 100 t-shirts and sell them, or use it as part of a commercial artbook, for example. Fair use applies: If I make a painting for you, you can use it as your avatar, print it and hang it on a wall, or make a t-shirt with it for your personal use, but you can't sell any rights to it (for example, for printing in an artbook), since you don't own them.
For all character designs and comics I develop jointly with a commissioner (for example if the commissioner provides all details to a fursona's idea, or the script for a comic), I will jointly own all rights with the commissioner. This means if a publisher is interested in buying any rights for any such comic, myself and the commissioner would get 50% of the proceeds of selling any rights if we both agree to such a sale.
For all character designs and comics I develop on my own (for example, if the commissioner just requests a basic idea without providing further details: "draw a fancy fox wearing a tie and top hat"; or if I both write and illustrate a comic based on a rough outline that is not detailed page by page and panel by panel: "draw me 6 pages of a beaver and a crane having tea"), I will own all rights to the work in question. Fair use applies: If I designed your fursona, you can use it, commission art with it, get a badge or fursuit and so on. If I made you a comic, you can print it, repost it, make a collage with it, and so on, but you can't sell it to a publisher.
