Please make sure the type of commission you'd like to order is currently available before applying. If a type of commission is currently unavailable, you will find a notice "CLOSED" under the price tag on the "Commissions" page.
Character Information & References
I'll need the following information to work on your commission:
Commission type
Character(s) name
Description or image(s) of the character's appearance
The character's personality
Visual character references (other artwork, ingame screenshots, images of hairstyles, real people they look similar to etc.)
Optionally, feel free to additionally send me information, wishes and ideas regarding any of the following:
Overall mood of the artwork
Desired background/scene
Pose of the character
Description of the character's appearance
The character's personality and/or story
Any other references (for background, composition, mood or whatever you think is useful to have)
This is only a list fo things I find useful - you don't need to follow it exactly, but the more reference, the better. And don't worry if you don't have a lot of visual references of your character yet. I can work with written description as well!
It's also absolutely okay if you don't have a pose (or other things) in mind. In a lot of my commissions I come up with it myself - we will be in exchange with each other during the process, I'll send you a sketch and you'll be able to give me feedback on what to change.
We'll bring your character to life no matter what! :)
Reach out
Send me all information and/or any questions in a direct message on X / Twitter or via E-Mail ([email protected]).
What will I receive if I order a commission?
You will receive one or several png files (for some commission types, I like to include transparent background options or send different versions with more or less details/effects) of the finished illustration.
The minimum size will be 2000 x 2000 px, 350 dpi.
On request, I'm also willing to share the .psd file - though I usually work on only a few layers.
How do I pay?
I take payment upfront and via PayPal.
To send you the payment request, I'll need the following information:
Your name
Your PayPal e-mail address
Preferred payment method (2x 50% or 100%) if applicable
Do you offer split payment?
For any commission work over 200€, I offer the option for 2x50% payment (first half paid upfront, second half before entering the rendering stage).
Anything else must be paid upfront.
For long-term or returning clients, exceptions may be made.
Do you use AI in your work?
I do not use AI in any way, shape or form in my work and am not planning on changing that.
What's the commission process?
After accepting your commission, I will request the payment.
After receiving the payment, I'll draw a sketch and send it to you for feedback.
Once you're happy with the sketch, I will work on the colors. You'll be sent a process picture once the colors are planned out - this stage might look a little messy!
I will move onto the rendering stage (If we agreed on split payment, this is where I will request the second payment).
You may ask for work in progress pictures at any time - just be aware that my process is a messy one at times and the wip's won't represent the final piece.
I will send you the final piece (+ eventual variations). You can still ask for small changes - if I forgot or overlooked something crucial, I will happily edit it for free. For additional or more complex changes I may charge a fee.
How long will a commission take?
The time your commission will take will depend on various factors, such as commission type and your place in the queue.
Unless communicated otherwise, here is what you can expect:
Sketches: up to 1 week
Headshots: up to 2 weeks
Bust-up Illustrations: up to 1 month
Complex Illustrations: up to 2 months, depending on complexity.I do try to get your artwork to you as soon as possible though, and I'll inform you about anything that may influence the delivery time.
If you need a commission done by a certain date, please let me know in advance.
If you have any question left unanswered, feel free to reach out!
