NOW BOOKING FOR AUGUST-NOVEMBER 2010 SCHEDULE.

I’ve been asked to draw various original characters ranging from independent comics books, Role-Playing game characters from such online games as Ragnarok™, Guildwars™, World of Warcraft™, and most often from characters created through the Massive Multiplayer Online RPG City of Heroes™. I’ve also been approached recently to draw original avatars from Second Life™ and the SIMS3.

I am open to any type of character illustration. Though my expertise are usually centered on beautiful female characters and pin-up poses and settings, this does not mean that I cannot draw anything else, male characters included. I am not particular about nudity. Adult-oriented images are also acceptable, as long as the request is made in good taste, and that the request is made by a legal adult.

COMMISSION categories and general prices are as follows:

• Character Digital Inks -  $120 base price. Line Art inked digitally in Corel Painter™. Sample here.
• Character Full Color – $160 base price (will vary depending on complexity). A fully-colored piece of your character initially sketched and inked by me. Pose, clothing and situation at your preference. Sample here.
• Character Design Sheet. Price is a case-to-case basis. This means a full color piece of your character based solely on your text descriptions. No prior design was done and no reference images are needed (though reference images are welcome if available). Sample here.
• Sequential Pages. Price is a case-to-case basis.It is dependent upon complexity and number of pages being required per commission. Sample here.

You are getting a signed High-Resolution digital image in PSD format in 11″ x 17″. Along with the fully colored piece, you will also get in the PSD file all stages of the drawing (digital/traditional pencils/digital sketch and digital inks) nested in its own layer. If you don’t own Photoshop or any software that can open and manipulate native Photoshop PSD files, please let me know right away so I can properly export the final piece/s in a format of your choosing. You may also request beforehand whether you prefer the final piece in RGB (to be used for computer screens and online sites) or CMYK (a preference for high-resolution prints).

* Multiple characters/ elaborate backgrounds are subject to individual price quoting.

Requirements for a proper Price Quote:

• Character reference images (screen shots and/ or previous artwork done by other artists)
• A general character description (personality, powers, age and anything that is significant to the commission)
• Image reference/s and/or specific description of preferred pose of character, environment, background.

Time Frame:

I have to admit that this is my weak point. I try as much as I can to be able to output a commission as fast as I can, but usually circumstances I cannot control tends to derail my schedule. Some of the time, when a client gives me free reign on their character/s, my obsessive nature of trying to perfect an idea I get in my head tends to rear its ugly head. That’s why I am truly humbled when my clients have infinite patience toward me. And I do appreciate the understanding. I am, however, try my best to be more productive and to output more work in less time without sacrificing the quality that has made most of my loyal clients to come back for more.

Mode of Payment:

I accept payment through Paypal only.

All prices are subject to change without prior notice. I require a 50% down payment before I start anything. You will be informed via email or instant message of the progress of the your commission, and will receive the final image file once full payment has been received.

For first time commissioners (meaning for those who will request an image from me for the first time), I ask for full payment of the agreed quoted price before I place you on the queue and start your commission. I have (in many occasions) unfortunately been a victim of scrupulous individuals whose only intention is to get artwork from artist like myself for free or as cheap as possible. I believe my years of being in the business of commissioning will guarantee you will receive your item.

So if the sign above says I’m open for commission, or if you have any other inquiries, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
