I'm taking Outline & Color Commissions!


(\(^_^)/)




Haha. Sorry for the theatrics, I'm just happy.~
Okay, so here's the deal peeps. In a sudden turn of events my job of the past 3? years has terminated my employment. (The company hired new management and apparently they thought it'd be a good idea to clean house.) Why am I happy then? Well, honestly I'm happy with how much my coloring has improved, not so much about the fact that I have no job/steady income. Anyway! Due to that, I've decided I would try my hand at accepting commissions for sketches, outlines, flat color and shading. I'm still working out what techniques work best for me, but I'm willing to do personal sketches, lineart for my artwork as well as for people who want their traditional picture/unfinished sketch to be done digitally, flat color, and soft shading. For more examples of my personal art, just explore my gallery. Anything that has artwork (c) to me means -I- drew it. Examples of my lineart/outlining, as well as flat and soft color are below; (More examples will be added once they become available.)

I would like to apologize in advance if you think my pricing is too high. I know, personally, how much time I actually spend on art. I'm OCD and have an overwhelming nag known as attention to detail. So it would honestly be unfair to me if I dropped the prices from where they are. HOWEVER. If I accept a commission from you and find that it was less time consuming then anticipated, I will offer you a discount. I believe in being fair. But if it takes me numerous hours, plus a lot of edits, don't expect a discount offer. Also, if you aren't sure (or more importantly, if I'm not sure) that I can draw your character to your satisfaction then I will offer to do a quick sketch, if you like the way I've done it then I will finish the art. If not, the image will be moved to scraps and I most likely will not give consent to use it. Sorry. (All payments should be sent -after- the quick sketch is complete if the order is for lineart and ^.)



Pricing!



Aiko Originals

$5 - Rough/Quick Sketch
$15 - Simple Lineart
$25 - Detailed Lineart
(^ Detailed applies to characters with excessive markings, scales, tattoos, clothes, etc.)


Outlining/Lineart

$5 - For Simple Outline Of Image As Is
$10 - For Detailed Images As Is
$2 - For Simple Edits To Lineart
^ This section is offered for Personal Art Only (aka, your own sketches that you want digitally redone) unless you have permission from the original artist. Edits is if you want the tail repositioned, ears turned, eyes fixed, etc.

Flat Color

$5 - For Simple Images
$10 - For Detailed Images

Soft Shading

$15 - For Simple Images
$20 - For Detailed Images


(Please keep in mind that these prices MIGHT increase depending on difficulty. Ie, a lot of different colors/markings, very detailed picture, more then one person, etc. The current price is an estimate for simple, single person images. Example: whitty-boo.deviantart.com/art/… . Sketches and Flat Color doesn't take me very long to complete, but please keep in mind that Soft Shading and Outlining may take a day or two to finish, depending on the difficulty. Also, if you want me to sketch or outline AND flat or soft color, prices will combine due to difficulty. For example, an outline ($5) for a simple picture plus flat coloring ($10) = $15 total.

For more then one character, it's double the price per person. IE; Rough Sketch for 3 people = $15 . Detailed Lineart for 3 people on a pre-existing picture (Aka, not a picture I drew for you.) = $30 .


Paypal payments & USD only! Sorry!




If the commission is for a quick sketch, payment will be expected prior to edits. If the commission is for lineart and up, payment will be expected once the cleaned sketch has been approved. I will send you a note with my Paypal information when I start on your commission and I will not offer refunds once I have already started outlining/coloring. (If you'd like to watch the progress of your picture just ask me to stream or Skype!)


Will Do:


Furries
Gore
Tasteful/Mild Nudity
Moderate Sexual Scenes
Violence


(Ie, I'm alright with Smut,  Pin-Ups, 'Soft Pronz', etc.
I am not alright with views up your birth canal...)
Please keep in mind that I am alright with coloring all of the above mentioned options. Sketching them however may be difficult, but I'm willing to give it a shot. (This applies to most furries, gore and sexual scenes. Only because I don't have any/as much practice in them.) Not sure if I'll do your picture? Send me a note titled "Inquiry" with a link to the image and I'll let you know whether or not I am comfortable coloring the picture. I'm pretty flexible.


If you are interested in commissioning me then send me a note with the following information;



Subject: Commission Type (Ie, Outline, Flat or Soft)
For example: Aiko Original Simple Lineart ($15) + Simple Flat Color ($10) =  $25 USD

Character Name(s): Kinda self explanatory, this one. :p

Sketch/Lineart: This is for the image you want colored or outlined. Clean Lineart is preferred for color commissions, but it is not required. If the art you want colored is done by an artist/not you, please verify that they are okay with having it colored or outlined by another artist and please provide a link to their original image so that I may (c) as needed.

Addt. Images: This is for whatever colored art you may have to use as an example of how your character is colored. You can also link me to the outfit that your character is wearing, etcetc. If you don't have any colored art of your character it's perfectly fine. Feel free to post as many reference images as needed to show me what colors I'll need to use.

Colors/Markings: If you do not have colored art, or the colored art that you have is not accurate, then please provide a detailed list of colors. Example; Blue ears and tail, grey skin, yellow markings, green eyes, etcetc. Don't forget to include colors for clothing, jewelry, background colors and such if that's what is featured on the image.

Special Requests: Do you want the image to be bright and cheerful? Dark and mysterious? Do you want the light to be coming from a particular place in the picture? Say so!

Email & Paypal Info: If you want me to email you the image once it is complete then please provide the email you wish it to be sent to. Also, please include the email address that you have set for your Paypal so that I know which payment was your's.
(When payment is sent, you can also include a note with it that says, for example; 'Flat Color Commission; JimmyJamesJohnson!'... Yes, that's the name that came to mind when I thought of an example... /)_(\ <-- Shameface )

Once you've got your note all set up go ahead and send it to me. I'll let you know once I've seen it and whether or not I think it'll be a bit pricier then my estimate. Please note, I will do commissions based on the order they were received. I may or may not multitask between Soft and Flat in order to kill two birds with one stone, but I won't pick whichever image I think will be 'easier' or 'faster'. I am fair after all. If however I have questions/something hinders me from continuing color on your commission (ie I can't get a hold of you to verify markings, etcetc) then I will work on the next commission until you get back to me.~
