Opening Commissions

Sat Apr 18, 2009, 1:41 PM


Commissions

I AM NOT ACCEPTING PAYPAL. Several people apparently don't read the entire journal, or skip over the part about how to give me my money. I CAN'T USE PAYPAL. Sorry.

Pricing

Here are the options available for you to choose from. If what you're thinking of doesn't fall into one of these categories, just talk to me and we'll work something out.

Blueline and Pencil Sketch - $15

Black and White Inked Drawing - $30

Inked with Digital Tones - $35

Color Character Design - $35

Full Color Picture (chunky lines) - $40

Full Color Picture (fine lines) (1-2 people) - $60

Full Color Picture (fine lines) (3+ people) - $80

Comic Strips/Pages - price depends on number of pages/panels/characters etc.

AGAIN. NOT TAKING PAYPAL. SORRY.

What You Get

When you commission a picture, first thing you'll get shown is a pencil sketch, or the Photoshop equivalent thereof. If you approve of the sketch, I'll move onto the final product.

After it's all finished, you'll be emailed a high-resolution copy of the picture to print out or use as you please, as long as you credit me if you post it on like Live Journal or MySpace or whatevs.

If you want me to email you a 8.5"x11" print on glossy photo paper, it'll be an extra $5 for printing and shipping costs. I can potentially print larger copies, but that'll be on a subject-by-subject basis, and pricing will vary.

Payment

Unfortunately, as I said several times, at the moment, I can't do PayPal because for the life of me I can't log into my account. I can't figure out the right combination of emails and passwords to get into any of my accounts, and I can't even remember which account is attached to my current bank account. So, no PayPal.

However, I will accept checks, post office money orders, or concealed cash. Also, you can send money online through Western Union with your credit card. I don't need payment right away, but you will not be sent the final picture until it reaches me.

NO PAYPAL.

Examples of Artwork

Just to give you an idea of what you'll be getting when you commission a picture from me.

Blueline and Pencil Sketch
I don't have any examples of this in my gallery. It's basically a sketch done in blue pencil, then cleaned up with tight graphite pencil lines.

Black and White Inked Drawing


Inked with Digital Tones


Color Character Design


Full Color Picture (chunky lines)


Full Color Picture (fine lines) (1-2 people)


Full Color Picture (fine lines) (3+ people)


Content

This shouldn't really have to be said, but there are limits on content. I have nothing against drawing naked people or violence, but just make sure it's not over the top, and nothing blatantly pornographic.

I'll draw fanart characters, original characters, generic nobody whatevers. Just let me know. If you want me to draw an anime or video game character, be prepared to supply me with images or screenshots in case I haven't heard of them. If you want me to draw an original character, either give me a description of their appearance (hair color, eye color, clothing design, etc) and a BASIC (as in maybe one sentence long) personality description, or show me the artwork someone else has done, so I know what the character looks like.

In Closing...

So, here's hoping this works out. If you have any questions or want to request a commission, I suggest emailing me at ninja.shira@gmail.com. You could send me a devNote, but I would prefer email.

Thanks mucho ahead of time for anyone that takes me up on this, it'll totally help me out. :)

Allow me to reiterate one more time. I CAN'T TAKE PAYPAL AT THIS TIME. SORRY.

I'll be sure to commission you as soon as I get my next pay check (I've been trying to think of a good costume for one of my characters for a year and every time I draw him he's only in boxers O.o;; )

Once I figure out what I'd like to get, I'll be sending you an email.

For payments, have you looked into using Xoom at all? I can mail a check, but I usually prefer online payment. It's instant and you know the money is going to get there. With the US postal system, you can never be 100% certain.

Well, I looked into Xoom all right, but it looks like there's no way to send cash to the U.S. XD It's not on their list of places to send stuff.

I'm still working on getting my PayPal working. I know which email address is attached to the account with the right card on it, but I forgot the password to that email address, and I'm having a hell of a time getting it back. :P

Oh yeah - one more comics-related thing in DFW. Zeus Comics sponsors CAPE!, a one-day comics expo each summer. The 2009 one was cancelled for reasons I totally forgot, but they're planning on a 2010 one. I suspect you'll want to be there. :D (The page is current for 2008, but gives you an idea of who'll be there.)

Dude, that just looks awesome! Like, seriously!

Actually, kind of amusing, the artist Jason Pearson is on their guest list, and he used to be a regular customer at Kingdom Comics for two years before he got banned from the store for being a royal asshole :D
