Commissions!

It's May, and I'm done with RISD for the summer, which means.....it's commission season! All you kids just chomping at the bit can let out that breath you've been holding since August. SO, here's how it goes down for you folks: take a gander at that list 'o prices, pick out a range or medium you're interested in, and fire off an email to me (Damalia200@cs.com) with "commission" somewhere in the title. Introduce yourself, and let me know what you had in mind. Don't be afraid to get specific—detail is very helpful. I'm offering commissions for fully rendered character portraits, or other illustrations and paintings. I like to work with wildlife subjects, or general sci-fi/fantasy, but really I'm open for anything. I prefer to do finished work (I simply find it is more worthwhile personally and for the buyer), and for that reason I'm not offering sketch commissions this year.

Commission: A fee or percentage allowed to a sales representative for services rendered. In other words, ya'll pay me to draw/paint stuff!

Base Prices: (subject to change based on character/complexity)
_____________________________________________________________________________
Badges:  
$35_(Drawn to customer preferred size, on heavy museum/mat board)

Ink: (Lineart, or detail)
$30 _simple characters, small size (8.5 x 11 to 9 x 12)
$45+_increased size, or complex values/environments

Paint: (My personal specialty: fully rendered acrylic works, varnished)
$50-80_Small size (8.5 x 11, or comparable square inch area)
$80-100_Medium size (9 x 12+)
$150+_Large size (16 x 20+)

For multiple characters in a piece, each additional character is $50, approximately.

***All hard copy works will be completed on illustration or museum board, usually mounted to an archival foamcore back, unless otherwise specified by commissioner. (this makes for a finished piece that is more durable, and averages about a quarter inch thick).
***I prefer to work with acrylic paint, but will include any combination of oil, colored pencil, watercolor, or markers as well.
***Pieces on board will be centered to include a 1-inch white border all around to protect the actual work from wear.
