Dos/Don'ts

Do be straightforward! I greatly value straightforwardness in all things. Don't dance around what you want, when you want it, stuff like that. When reviewing your sketch/ink/whatever, be as blunt as possible about what is right and what is wrong. I need your help to make your picture exactly what you're looking for. I promise you cannot offend or embarass me no matter how hard you try. However, if you're going to be downright rude, please do it in private ;3

Do be patient! I will try to estimate for you when I will get to your commission, but I am not infallible. I work on commissions every weekday from 8am to 5pm (with an hour for lunch ;3), and I try to keep my list short enough that you don't have to wait longer than two months, but sometimes things happen. I will keep you posted of any delays.

Do be polite! This should be a no-brainer. I'm human, just like you.

Do ask for progress! Even if I have nothing to show you yet, I'd rather you contact me if you're feeling unsure about what stage your commission is at. I'll send you a sketch when it's done, and inks when they're done, but if you want more than that, ask!

Do understand my terms! I'll be happy to answer any questions you might have, but it generally goes smoother if you read this page and my Legal Stuff page before asking :3

Do give me TONS of references! The more, the better! Character pictures, reference sheets, textual descriptions, photos of yourself, photos of your favourite animal, photos of your desired pose, snippets of roleplay, link to your gallery, link to your webpage. References help me to make your picture more accurate... plus, I just like looking at pretty pictures 83

Do pay first! Sorry, but I take money first. I've been burned >.O So you'll have to pay in full before I get started. I can provide references (past commissioners) who can vouch for me if you need them.

Don't be shy! I love to make friends and talk and such! Please come talk to me!

Don't be vague! I can't read your mind. Tell me exactly what you want.

Don't commission me for a character that isn't yours without permission. I'll need an email from the character's owner. This applies especially to trademarked characters like Sonic or Simba. Legally there has to be a 30% difference apparent for me to draw a trademarked character for you (so I can draw you having sex with Anthro Simba, but not movie Simba. Likewise, I could draw an anthro blue hedgehog for you, but not Sonic and not in the Sonic style.)

Some characters are not covered under this, such as Japanese characters or some Hasbro characters. If you're not sure, ask.

Commission Info/Pricing

You need to know this stuff!

When you commission me, you are agreeing to the following terms: [link]
Please keep in mind that you are agreeing to allow me to produce and sell prints of your image. If you do not wish your image to be printed, there is an extra charge (see below).

All my real media work is on 8.5" x 11" bristol or cardstock PAPER and done with a combination of watercolor, prismacolor/tria markers, and colored pencil. If you want anything else, ASK. I can do anything your twisted little brains can think up.
All my digital work is done in Photoshop on roughly a 4000 x 3000 pixel canvas. You will receive an image no smaller than 1500 x 1500 pixels. If you need a larger image, ASK.

I accept: Paypal, money orders, and cheques. Paypal is preferred. I will not start on your image until the money clears.

ALL PRICES ARE IN US DOLLARS.

Prices vary according to detail and may be changed without warning at any time. The prices given here are baselines, the minimum cost; your commission may cost more depending on detail, subject matter, etc. I will never make you pay more than the quote I gave you at the time of payment (ie, if you pay $15 for an inked picture, then the price changes to $20, I'm not going to ask for an extra $5 if you've already paid).

Shipping and Handling is $4 within the US & Canada, or $10 overseas. This may vary according to weight, size, insurance, and what country you're in.

Art Prices and Examples

Deluxe Conbadges: About the size of my hand, approximately 5" - 7" tall, these come in Anthro/Bust or Nonanthro. They are laminated and come with a badge clip or a lanyard. I also do puzzle-style 'couples' badges' which can be fitted together to form Voltr--er, a single image.
Bust/Nonanthro badge: $25
Couples' badge (2 characters): $40
Glow in the Dark or Sparkly paint: +$5 each
Examples:

Mini Conbadges: Approximately 2.5" - 3" tall, these are full body and have less detail than a deluxe conbadge. They are laminated and come with a badge clip or a lanyard. Couples' badges are also available in this style.
Single badge: $12
Couples' badge (2 characters): $20
Examples:

Icons: 100x100 pixels digital icons, plus the 500x500 pixels image they were made from! Up to two characters in each icon.
1 icon: $8
5 icons: $30
Examples:

Sketches/Photoshop Sketches: Just what they sound like, a quick 'n' dirty sketch. Cleaned up enough so you can see what's going on, but not as clean as inked line art.
Up to 2 characters: $10
Each additional character: +$5
Background: +$5-$10
Examples:

Inked Lineart/Digital Lineart: Basically a tidied up sketch, only in ink! Lines only, no shading. Done with India Ink or openCanvas 1.1.
Up to 2 characters: $15
Each additional character: +$7
Background: +$5-$15
Examples:

Ink + Photoshop Flat Color: Digital lineart with flat colors in Photoshop! No background = gradient or abstract pattern of my choice. You can request a plain white background.
Up to 2 characters: $25
Each additional character: +$7
Background: +$5-15
Examples:

Reference Sheet: Three-pose turnaround with headshot. Flat-colored only. These are great for fursuits and future commissions! My reference sheets meet most fursuit makers' qualifications, including Mixed Candy's requirements. Feel free to ask for more poses, detail shots or headshots!
Three poses + headshot: $35
Each additional pose: +$10
Each additional detail shot/headshot: +$5
Examples:

Real Media: Inked or outlined (with colored pencil) lineart with a combination of watercolor paint, markers, and colored pencil. No background = watercolor wash and/or marker outline of my choice. You can request a plain white background. For a colored pencil gradient bg, add $5, it uses up quite a bit of lead ;3
Up to 2 characters: $60
Each additional character: +$10
Background: +$10 and up
Glow in the Dark or Sparkly paint: +$2 each
Examples:

Ink + Photoshop: Digital lineart colored a cel shaded, digital watercolor, or toony style in Adobe Photoshop CS 3. No background = gradient or simple abstract pattern of my choice. You can request a plain white background.

Each additional character: +$10
Background: +$10 and up

Lineless Photoshop: Lineless digital painting done in Adobe Photoshop CS 3. This takes quite a bit more effort and is extremely detailed. No background = gradient or simple abstract pattern of my choice. You can request a plain white background.
THIS STYLE BY AUCTION ONLY
Examples:

OpenCanvas Sessions: openCanvas is like a cross between PaintChat and Photoshop. Basically, you can watch me draw in real time. This is handy if you have a very specific image in mind or a very detailed character, or if you've never had your character drawn before.
$10 for the first hour, +$2.50 for every 15 minutes afterwards

UNPRINTABLE CHARGE: An extra charge for an image I cannot post or print. This covers the money I would have made if I could have printed your image. Non-negotiable if I deem it necessary.
$25 minimum

Trading Dos/Don'ts

I am currently closed for trades.

Do tell me what you want! Don't be afraid to tell me if you have an idea in mind!

Do be patient! Sometimes I can take a REALLY long time with trades, because most of my artwork is paid for and I don't have a lot of spare time for free art.

Don't be shy! I love to make friends and talk and such! Please come talk to me!

Don't draw me giftart and expect something in return. I love gifts! But, I don't love being FORCED into a trade. Chances are, if you draw something for me, I will try to do you something in return when I have free time! But, I don't always have the time, sadly :C


<3 You All!
