Commissions and SoAA and Summer- Oh, My!

It's that special time of... sometimes... again, when I take commissions! I'm doing one at a time for the moment, while summer's finally here! There will be a queue, which I will update here, though I don't really imagine there will be need of one. ^_^;;

Apart from that, there is not much to report, aside from my working to get my children's book ready for its first steps into the world, and lots of other boring stuff, so I'll get on with it!

Oh, AND new episodes of Skies of Arcadia Abridged!


     Commission Info

I will be taking commissions for the duration of the summer, barring any major life problems! I may be stopping once school starts back up again, so get 'em while you can!  a w a


Mediums

The usual! Pencils are my specialty, but I also work with ink, paint/watercolour, mixed mediums and I can CG! I love trying new mediums, so don't hesitate to challenge me!


Prices

$15.00 for all commissions, regardless of medium! Up to two characters for the base price!

+$2.00 for an added character beyond that

+$5.00 for a detailed background ( lots going on; more than just a simple design or a blank/coloured background of your description )

Hopefully that will make things easy and fair!


Payment Method

Paypal only for the time being! It is a simple and safe program, and there won't be any fees on the customer's end.
It allows for customers to perform a transaction safely and securely, without having to give me any info at all. I'm sorry if this is inconvenient to anyone!

Here's how it goes:

I will not ask for anything whatsoever until your commission is completed!

I will send you the lineart version first, to get your approval to continue with colouring/shading, etc. This will be watermarked, not as an offense to anyone's trustworthiness, but as a standard.

I will send you a watermarked preview version of the completed product for your approval, and once you have agreed that you are happy with it and have completed the transaction on Paypal ( I will give you the e-mail address information once you are ready ), I will send you the full, unmarked file.
I will trust you, as an awesome person. Because you are awesome, and you wouldn't just steal all that hard work, now would ya? Of course not! :3

For the moment, I am unable to mail physical copies, but I ALWAYS keep the original safely with me and am looking into good shipping methods for in the future. For now, only digital copies can be commissioned! I am very sorry for this!

If you need special parental permission to give out your address, you can always refer them to me and I will be more than happy to answer any of their questions and help put them at ease. I do not share private information, over the internet or otherwise.


Info On Your Part

Never personal info, of course. This is about descriptions!
I will, as with requests, need plenty of info and lots of description on what you would like!
That means, to guarantee your complete satisfaction, I will need to know, for example, such things as:

Style and medium you'd prefer; feel free to be specific, as it is helpful and I won't mind!

Character species, etc.

Hair, skin and eye colour, etc., as well as hair length and other important physical details

Specific wishes for their facial and bodily expressions

A good idea of the character/creature's personality

General body size and height scale

Vivid wishes for background, unless you want me to make something up, which I will be more than happy to do. Pictures with no background are obviously just fine, too. ^_^

Any other stuff you have locked up in your head for me to play with! I love having lots of ideas to work with.

If there are more than one character, you may want to explain how you want them to be interacting, if at all... that sort of thing.

Please remember to tell me everything you might want me to know! Reference pictures are greatly appreciated when available, of course ( if they're available and not easy to find in your gallery, that is- I'm used to manually researching characters and not being a total bum ). :3

I will not draw anything excessively naughty, nothing romantic involving minors, etc. Mpreg and slash are welcomed, though! ^_^


Copyright Notices

Due to copyright laws, I think I will start with drawing OCs and the like, unless permission for a character can be obtained, or they are public domain. I know this will limit me to doing requests-only in the fan art category, but it would be illegal for me to make profit off of someone else's concepts, so I'm afraid I just can't. That doesn't mean you can't drop a request idea my way! I may have time eventually. ^_~


Time Allowance

Pictures with more than one character or a very detailed setting may take longer than those without. I will always work my hardest to get your drawing done within as short a time frame as possible, but I also want to be able to take the time to assure the best quality I can produce!
Basically, since you're not paying before anything is done, I ask that you give me plenty of patience.

I will notify customers of any real-life emergencies or major delays.


DeviantArt Permission

You can decide whether or not it's okay for me to post your commission on DA, or elsewhere on the internet. If you don't want me to, I won't post it anywhere.
If it's your character and you don't mind me sharing the drawing, you will receive full credit for them and lots of linkback!

You may post your commission anywhere you like, but I ask that you please give me credit for it, fi you can. Oh, and be sure to link it to me if you can, so I can see it and be all warm and fuzzy inside!

Commissions are not to be resold, please. ^_^
For business endeavors, please contact me on that note in specific, as I would be more than happy to be flexible about that.


Availability

I will be keeping one commission slot at any given time for the summer, because being a mom takes up a lot of time!


If you request one while the current in-progress slots are full, I'll jot you down and contact you once one is open, so that you can still get one if you are interested at that point.
