Everybody has a dream and a vision that they would like to embody and express, but may lack the time and technical resources to materialize, it is my pleasure as a professional artist who embraces solid client relationships to deliver the work and vitality that you had stirred in your mind with passion in a form that you can see. In other words, I do commissions, hahahahah.

In my life, I have constantly met people who have dreamt up amazing stories and ideas from all corners of the world, as well as dedicated fans in appreciation of another's work, and have expressed it with such enthusiasm and conviction that I had always hoped that they would someday crystallize their passion. When I trained as an artist, I had always kept in my heart the desire to make other people's visions and my own come true, because I learned early on that receiving a single solid stepping stone from something that only exists in one's head to something that exists on paper or pixels, with the destiny of being shared with others is a magnificent thing.

Basic Visual Art Commission Rates:

There are two systems:

1. You can either pick the definite final stage you want the work to be presented in and pay the standard 50% in advance and the other 50% upon completion. This system is also utilized should the piece require a different procedure from the basic package, in which case, prices are negotiable.

2. You can upgrade your way through the stages! This system is ideal if you want to get a taste of my work before chugging the whole keg! Using this system, you can start off paying $20 for a concept sketch, and if that hits the mark, then you can upgrade it to a cleaned illustration for another $20 and so on till you reach the final stage. It is just $20 for each stage of the project. This system is great if you are really want to control the path of the final piece and make suggestions at each new stage. It's downside however is that it takes four payments instead of just two and may take longer due to confirmation of transactions and intake of suggestions.

Okay then! *Rolls up sleeves*

There are three slightly loose guidelines when you sign me on for a commission. Originally, I had these paragraph long explanations about them, compliments of "experience", but I figured that nothing scares clients away more than fine print, so here they are in moderately abbreviated form!

1. Bring Your Ideas!

I like to feel the energy that a client has and hit the ground running and know where I'm going! If you have an idea, even the most vague, don't spare any details! Some important details are:

-Theme
-Background
-File Format
-Character Background
-Purpose of the Work

2. Making Suggestions!

Not everybody knows what they want right off the bat, so if you are working by the "Stages System" I will always leave a little room for suggestions to help steer the project towards the way you want it. Unfortunately, the suggestions have to be limited to the stage that I am working on, will work on, or have just finished, otherwise it'd be like taking the bottom brick out of Lego Land. If it is very important to you, I'll try my best to modify it regardless, so long as it doesn't radically extend the project beyond my self determined deadline or is abused.

3. Distribution Rights

I would like to know before I start the project if you would allow me to use the finished work on my site showcase under it's original context that you will have dictated. I take great pride in my work, and would like to show it on my site with your permission, if you be so kind to grant me permission.

Okay! Thank you for reading the semi-fine print! I hope to see your vision very soon, take care, and I'd like to do business with you soon!
