My Art Style
Anime/manga. I do all my sketching by hand, but the coloring is done with my computer. If requested, I'm happy to send you the original sketch as well, for a minor fee. (mostly to cover shipping)

What You Will Get
Two image files, one web-ready image and one print-ready file sized to 8x10 that you can take to wherever you wish and get printed off. If you want, I can print it and ship to you, but you'll have to request it and there is a small fee (for printing and shipping). I will also provide you a transparent PNG for use in website layouts or avatars, if requested.

What I Will Do
- Original characters - picture reference is not required, but you're more likely to get what you want with one.
- Fanart
- Tasteful nudity - If you have a question about what I consider tasteful, please ask BEFORE you order.
- Fantasy people
- Futuristic - keep in mind it's not my specialty, but I'm willing to try my best.
- Simple backgrounds - geometric shapes, abstract, or possibly something the character is leaning/sitting on.

What I Can Do For Additional Cost (add-ons)
- Complicated backgrounds - $60 for a detailed background, can be a room, crowd of people, etc.
- Groups of people - Add 50% for each additional person. If you have a large group, ask for a special quote.
- Animals - Add $20 for a small animal (cat/dog size), $45 for a large one.
- Digital printout - $10 for a high-quality print on acid-free glossy paper.  With this, I can also send you the original sketch if you wish for no extra charge.

What I Will Not Do
- Porn - If you have a question, feel free to ask BEFORE you order, just to clarify.

Character Options
You have two options on posing for your character.  One is an actual character reference image.  This would be a full body, frontal pose that shows as much of your character's outfit as possible.  I am willing to do a front and back workup, but that would count as a two-person image and will be priced accordingly.  The other option is an action pose.  I'll be as accurate as possible on the design, but you may not see all of your character's outfit, depending on the pose.  This will be much more dynamic, and can include minor special effects (such as energy on a sword, a spell being cast, etc.).  Backgrounds would still be extra, however. You can see examples of each type below.





- Sketch - Full body, single character, pencil sketch.
Price: $30

- Lineart - Full body, single character, black and white lineart.
Price: $55

- Duotone - Full body, single character, skin tone and one other color shaded.
Price: $60

- Full CG - Full body, single character, full color.
Price: $75

Payment and Shipping Info
Payment: I prefer PayPal, but I will also accept a cashier's check or money order. Please keep in mind I will not start your image until you payment has been accepted and I have your description of what you want.
Shipping: Since I will send you the file over the Internet, there is no shipping unless you wish to purchase the original sketch or for me to send you a printed copy. Shipping for just the sketch is $5, shipping for a full color print is $10 (to cover cost of printing).  With the second one, I can also add your sketch in for no extra charge.  If you want additional prints, let me know and I'll see what the cost would be.

A note on coloring
I can do hand-coloring with Copics now.  It's something I'm still learning, but if you want a hand-inked and colored piece instead of a digitally colored piece, just let me know.  The price will be the same as for the Full CG (plus the $5 for shipping), but it won't have a background.  The choice is yours.

- All prices are for single characters.  Extra characters are possible, the price is listed in the add-on section.
- The final print size is 8x10. Larger is possible, but the turnaround time will be longer simply because of the limitations of my computer. There will also be an additional fee for printing and shipping, to be determined by the final size.  I will give you a price before I start so there will be no surprises.
- My turnaround time is about 2 weeks from the time I receive your description and payment. If I have questions, I will do my best to contact you as soon as possible to clarify anything.  If a real life situation happens, I will notify you about any delay.
- I retain all copyrights to the image itself (not your character), unless you buy them from me. If you wish to use your image in any print medium or any other use besides display (either the hard copy or display on your site), you must contact me for written permission.  If it's for commercial use, there will be a nominal fee, but otherwise I don't have an issue just sending you written permission for whatever you need it for.  You can use your image for layouts or sig images or avatars, just as long as you have a link somewhere crediting me for actually making the image.
- I will not use your image for any commercial or personal reason without written permission from you, with the only exception being use in my art portfolio. This will include credit to you for the character.
- I will keep the original sketch, unless you request it. Sending you the original sketch doesn't give you full license to use as you wish, please see above about copyright.
- Any estimated price can change before the order is accepted. Estimates are just that, estimates, and may be higher or lower depending on printing and shipping costs.
- You or I have the right to cancel the order for any reason BEFORE payment is accepted. If payment has been accepted, I will refund 50% of your payment to you. You also agree to rescind all rights to the artwork that has been started. I agree not to sell or use your picture, with the sole exception of portfolio purposes.
- You will not receive your final image(s) until payment has cleared.

Prices listed above are subject to change without notice, however, once your commission has been accepted, your price will not change. I am also open to negotiation and even barter/trades in some instances. Please contact me with any questions.

comments / favs / watches?

Comments: I like comments. I apprecate any comments I get. But I only reply to helpful, explanitory, or otherwise meaningful comments.
Favs: I like favs. I like favs a lot. But I would prefer you not to fav my entire gallery. Of course, I can't stop you, but it makes more sense that if you want to look at my gallery, it's much easier to just go directly to it.
Watches: I love watchers. You all make me feel like my arts are worthwhile. But I won't add you just because you add me. I'll check your page out, and if I'm really, really REALLY impressed, I'll add you.

When the time comes, I may get a Sailor Garuda duotone. She may not be as hard for you then? 8D
