Contact for Commissions

If you would like to purchase a commission, feel free to contact me! You can leave a comment on any commission journal I happen to post on any of my websites, contact me via IM, send me a private message via my art sites (LJ, Facebook or MySpace messages are not accepted), or send me a brief email saying you'd like to iron out details.

Once you're certain what you want, please send a detailed email to moc.liamtoh|SAD-dlaremErevliS#moc.liamtoh|SAD-dlaremErevliS. This is the only way in which I accept full commission requests, so that I can keep everything in one place.

Please title your email Commission or something similar so that I don't pass you off as spam.

If you would like, you may also contact me via IM to iron out details in real time and discuss in-depth what it is you'd like. Please note that even if you do contact me through AIM, Yahoo! or MSN, I still require an email so that I may keep all information in one place. Bearing that in mind: my AIM contact screenname is Volatile Kitsune, and my MSN/Yahoo! screenname is also moc.liamtoh|SAD-dlaremErevliS#moc.liamtoh|SAD-dlaremErevliS.

When requesting, please be as specific as possible. If you'd like, you can use the following form:

Show Request Form

Commission Type: (This is where you tell me if you want a drawing, a sculpture; a chibi, a full-bodied picture; a sketch, digital, colored pencil… that sort of thing.)

How Many Characters?: (Pretty self-explanatory; how many characters do you want in your commission? Please note that only if you want two characters in one piece do you say so here; if you want two separate pieces, please fill out two separate forms.)

Subject(s): (Who or what am I making for you? If it/they is/are a little-known character/object, or an OC, please provide a reference picture (or several!) or an extremely detailed description. I like specifics. If you want to attach a word document describing your character or object in addition to three or four full-color images, please, do so!)

Pose/Scenario: (Would you like the character(s) to be in a specific pose, in a certain scenario…? You can be vividly specific (I won't hate you if you give me several paragraphs; in fact, I'd love it), or give me just a general idea to work with and let me go from there.)

Style?: (Is there a certain style I do that you'd like me to try to emulate when doing your piece? If so, please provide a link to the image of the piece I've already done, and if possible, tell me what it is about it that you like so much, and I'll do my best to emulate it in your commission!)

Et cetera: (If there's anything I haven't covered above, such as deadlines, dedications (i.e. who it's for if you're buying a gift for someone else), etc., this is the place to add it!)

Step 1: Pricing
Once I receive your submission, I will reply with an estimated price, based on the type, complexity, and number of characters involved in the piece. It is at this point that I either begin working on your piece, or add it to my list (depending on my work load).

Step 2: Sketch
I always begin with a sketch. If a sketch is all you asked for, I will ask for payment BEFORE I begin sketching. If you requested a finished piece, I will send you a low-quality image of the sketch for approval. If you like what you see, I get cracking on finishing it; if not, I scrap and start over.

Step 3: Payment
When you approve of the sketch, I will then ask for your payment. I will NOT move ahead with working on your piece until payment clears. Please note that I accept PayPal, money order, or well-concealed cash. I do not accept personal checks or credit.

Step 4: Finishing
As soon as I receive your payment, I will begin work on the final piece. Working time depends on my total workload, the complexity and type of the piece, number of characters, etc.

Step 5: Sending and Posting
Once your commission is finished, I will email you a high-quality, signed, digital image of your finished piece. A lower-quality image immediately goes up in my various applicable galleries. If you ordered a traditional piece, and paid for shipping, I will ship it to you as soon as possible via First Class U.S. Mail.

Please note that I do not accept private commissions. I may be willing to censor or watermark certain pieces, but generally, anything I finish WILL be posted in applicable galleries. No exceptions.
