2019 Commissions (Open!) by TheShadowStone



  • The more complicated the character or scene, the higher the price might increase. The prices shown are base prices without extravagant additions, and may or may not reflect their example artwork.
  • Payment is in full, and up front. No partial payments.
  • Refunds are given if I cannot complete the commission due to outside circumstances.
  • I reserve the right to decline your commission.
  • I will send you the invoice in your payment from my Paypal, not the other way around. Please have your paypal name ready.

"Do you do backgrounds?"
Yes!

"Does this mean you don't draw X?"
I'm not just limited to humanoids, but check with me first, just in case!

Can I pay you in deviantart points?
I can't eat virtual points. USD through paypal only please.


I want something a bit different style wise in my commission. Can you do X?
Note me and we'll discuss it!

What are the costs for extra characters in the same commission?
Half the base cost for additional characters.
(EX: 1 shaded Sketch ($25) + 1 more (+$12.50) = $37.50)
1 Painted Character (+$60) + 2 more ($60))

"I changed my mind on something, can you fix it?"
The first two alterations are free of charge before lines and color are added. However, constant alterations (3+), or any in in later stages, take longer and longer to correct, and will start being charged on their severity.

"What are the differences?"
Sketches are rough and may still have some reference lines present. You can get them transparent or with a white background. Things like reference lines I try to clean up, but the lines will be very rough, though still recognizable as your wanted commissioned piece.

Lined means there's a noticable outline on it, not necessarily all black, but outlines none the less. You can get them transparent or with a white background.

Adding color puts flat colors on the picture. Some minor things like patterns and gradients may not count against this, but it'll be like looking into a 12 pack of crayons--not a lot of pizazz.

Shading is making the flat colors, not flat. Metal will have shine, hair will have definition, magic will be sparkly etc.

Painted is the most expensive tier, and takes the longest to complete, because there are no lines or sketches; everything is done in values and color. You will be shown a sketch to show you how it'll be posed and blocked, but it does not reflect the image's final quality.
