How it works

From brief to final art.

You approve the direction before I move into final rendering, with opportunities for feedback along the way.

  1. 01

    Send your request

    Include the format, character references, intended use, and deadline.

  2. 02

    Quote and sketch

    I confirm the price and begin after the 50% deposit. You approve the pose and composition at the sketch stage.

  3. 03

    Final artwork

    I share work-in-progress previews for minor adjustments, then deliver the finished piece after final payment.

Pricing details

What affects the price.

Backgrounds

Solid color, gradients, and simple lighting effects are included. Detailed backgrounds start at $50.

Other work

I also take on creature and animal art, NSFW work, prop design, and character sheets.

Commercial license

Promotional use is included. Products and other monetized uses add 50% to the illustration or character-design price.

Timing

Turnaround ranges from one week to two months, depending on the artwork and my current workload.

Terms of service

Before booking.

Payment and cancellation

Payments are made through PayPal. A 50% upfront payment is required before work begins. Refunds are no longer available once work has started.

Revisions and approval

Edits can be requested during the sketch phase, with minor edits available during work-in-progress previews. Major late-stage changes—including the background, pose, or expression—require an additional fee.

Publishing and usage

You may publish the artwork on social media with credit, but may not remove or alter my signature. I retain the right to share the work in my portfolio and social media. Exclusivity is available for an additional fee.
