Commissions Explaination Updated 7/25/09

Posted on 13th Jun at 12:53 AM

---

It's been awhile since I've checked Manga Bullet but it seems the sen system has been taken away. Thank god D; It was confusing >_<

Anyway please read below if you are interested in commissioning me. Don't be afraid to note me or comment to this journal either if you have questions or wish to commission me outside of Manga Bullet (or outside their commissions system for that matter).

News/Updates

7/25/09 Journal updated and commissions information explained in detail in the below sections. Promotions have been added!

I will only accept character work commissions through manga bulelt's shop system. If you would like something OTHER than character work (like a character sheet/s, jewelry, tattoo design, etc etc etc) then please note me! The system through this site is limiting and I can do many more things than what I can put into my commission shop here.

See my "Noting Me" section for more info.

Promos! (7/25/09)

(7/25/09) From now until September 5th for every chibi commission you request, if you add a second chibi character I will throw in a 3rd character of your choice for free! Each new commission you ask for with 2 chibis is elligible for the 3rd free one.

The free chibi can be included with the other two (or one of them) or on it's own and will be done in the same way as the first two (sketch, lineart, color, etc) but it will NOT be a detailed one, just regular.

(7/25/09) Limited time offer on sketch commissions. I'm offering to do full body sketch character commissions for only $5 each and just $2 for each additional full body character. The free sketch offer also applies (see below). The $5 dollar offer only applies to full body work everything else is as marked.

Offer is going to go on through the summer. September 5th is the last day!


(7/25/09) Also, you get a free sketch or lineart bust-up picture of your choosing for every commission you ask of me for. See list below for the type of bust up you're eligible to get. Chibis do not qualify for the free waist up sketch.

Who's eligible for which type of bust-up:

- Anyone who orders any kind of sketch will get one free bust-up sketch of any character they choose. It does NOT have to be of the character, or one of the characters, you asked me to draw originally. Anything goes.

- Anyone who orders any kind of lineart (no color) will get one free bust-up lineart of any character they choose. The bust up will be inked depending on how the original commission was inked (digitally or traditionally).

- Anyone who orders any kind of lineart (with color) will get one free bust-up lineart with basic, non-shaded color, of any character they choose. The bust up will be inked depending on how the original commission was inked (digitally or traditionally) and the color will be done also in the same type of coloring the original commission was done in (CG/digital or traditionally).

Noting Me (7/25/09)

Here I am going to list forms I need you to send me so I can get your commission done properly.

Character Commission form:

-Please let me know how many characters you want, their heights, and I'll also need a picture reference or a well written description. The more detail the better.
-You must be specific in what you want. if you have certain poses, expressions, clothing ideas, etc in mind and don't tell me beforehand it'll take a lot longer to get a finished work to you because I'll have to go back and redo things.
- If you want a chibi please just include the character you want (can be anime or original or otherwise) and a proper detailed description, picture reference, or both. Also include the type of pose you want, expressions, etc.

If you want anything other than character commissions of pre-made characters then we will need to conduct the transaction independently of Manga Bullet.

Here are some forms for OTHER commissions I will take on!:

Interested in Other work?

-I will try a multitude of things: Illustration, tattoo design, etc. This is an open category. Note me with your idea and I'll let you know if I can do it.
- Don't be scared off by my cartoony style, I can adapt and do realistic-esque work as well! Just ask me and I can doodle up some examples for you.

Interested in Character Sheets?

-I can design a character from scratch for you or you can provide me with as much or as little detail as you've got and I'll work with that.
-Character sheets can have as much or as little stuff on it as you like. I can put a lot of clothing concepts on it, a lot of facial expressions, a combination of them, or anything else you may want on the sheet.

Want some new hemp jewelry, keychains, or cellphone charms?

I now have a mini-shop going for this with a friend. If you want something like this done please see this journal for more information. ^^

What I Do: (7/25/09)

I am extremely open minded when it comes to the art I'll do. if something isn't on this list note me and ask about it, odds are I WILL do it! Here's a list of some of the typical categories you'd normally see floating around that I'll do:

- Chibis
- Yaoi, Yuri, Het
- I'll do explicit things too. (Sex, rape, torture, gore, etc..this list goes on..>>;; )
- Fanart (from any series be it anime, manga, cartoon, movie, TV show, etc.)
- Anthro & Furry
- Fantasy, realistic, futuristic
- OC's (this includes characters that are yours and are completely original to characters that are fan based like a Naruto OC, or a Pokemon OC, etc)
- Tattoo & logo design
- Character Sheets
- Illustrations
- Mascots (for websites and things of that nature.)
- Costume design!
- Much, much more!

Rules and other info (Updated on 7/25/09)

- Commissions are done on a first come first serve basis. If the immediate slots are filled you'll be added to the end of the waiting list (if I have one going). I'll contact you once I'm ready to put you up on the immediate slots. (Waiting list slots are for those that are not commissioning me through Manga Bullet's shop system but the first come first served rule applied to both).

- The first come first served rule only applies if there isn't a deadline you need the art by. So if you need the art by a certain date you'll be bumped to the top of the list.

- I do NOT reserve places. You must know what you want when you commission me. No exceptions.

- Any commissions I do for you, such fanart of a known character, art of your character, etc cannot be resold by you for a profit. If you wish to repost the commission I have done for you on another website you must first ask me. This rule does not apply to works that will be published or are for a package design. Ex: Book covers, logos for a product, website, etc. If you aren't sure just ask me.

- Watching me while I'm working on your commission will guarantee that you will receive any updates I make to this journal. I'll harbor no hard feelings if you un-watch me after I've finished your art. ^^

- I will always ask you for payment before I give you the final image. See the payment section further down for more info on paying.

- All commissions will be scanned in at 300dpi (or higher if requested).

- Ask questions if you're confused or need to clarify something! I respond to notes and comments before anything else.

Here's the price list: (7/25/09)

-----

In case anyone is confused by my shop settup please see the list below for how to order a commission from me through MB's shop system. You MAY mix and match these options.

Example: 1 Cell shaded chibi = $4 and to add two sketched chibis to the order you select the "Additional chibi sketch character +2 option" from the extra chibi character menu which would add + $2 to your total.

So $4 + $2 = $6 that you'd owe.

In this example you would then have one cell shaded colored chibi and two additional sketched chibis.

-----

Chibi's

Sketched: $2 + $1 per each additional chibi
Lineart: $3 + $2 per each additional chibi
Traditional: $4 + $2 per each additional chibi
Cell Shading: $4 + $2 per each additional chibi
CG Color: $6 + $4 per each additional chibi

All chibis are full body. I can do detailed ones too (by this I mean lots of little trinkets on them, hair craziness, etc, etc).

Backgrounds for all chibis are included unless you specify you don't want one.

For really detailed chibis see this example for a rough idea of what I mean on detailed. See this example for what I consider regular chibis. Detailed chibis are extra and the cost below will be added to the above prices (if you request a really detailed chibi only).

Detailed chibi's: + $2 for the first detailed one and +$1 for every detailed chibi thereafter

This price will vary depending on the amount of detail. This is also just a pencil work. No shading.

Lineart:
Headshot: $4 (+ $2 for each additional character)
Waist up: $6 (+ $3 for each additional character)

Backgrounds are extra:

Simple BG: + $2 for each individual image
Medium BG: + $6 for each individual image
Complex BG: + $10 - $15 for each individual image

For complex backgrounds the price will vary. It depends on what you ask for and how much is going on in the image BG.

Other Works

Anything not fitting into another category will have a different price depending on what needs to be done. Price will be discussed via note.

Character Sheets

Prices for these will vary depending on what you want included and whether you want it colored (both CG or traditional, your choice) or not. All character sheets will be inked you choose whether it's digital or traditionally! The examples I provided are just a guide for what I CAN give you. I will provide more or less information on the sheet upon your request. Character sheets can have WHATEVER you want on them!

The following prices are just a guide. And it will vary depending on what you want on the sheet.

All character sheets will be drawn on 9 x 12in. sketch book paper. Medium and simple detailed sheets will be one page only. Detailed character sheets can have more than one page but I will charge an additional fee per each extra page.

Payment: (7/25/09)

Everything is to be paid in US dollars. I am currently accepting:

-Paypal
-Money orders
-Checks
-Cash

I will accept payments from other countries READ BELOW FOR MORE INFO ON THIS!

For paypal transactions I WILL accept credit card/debit card payments. So even if you don't have a paypal account you can still use the site to pay me

- Small commissions of $10 and under, as well as payment for ALL sketch commissions (regardless of price) must be paid in full up front before I start the work.

- All other payments above $10 and commission types are to be paid half upfront and then I will start the work. I will show you a work in progress image once the sketch is done to get the go ahead for me to ink and color it. One I finish you must then send the rest of the payment before I send you the final un-watermarked image.

- All payments made from anywhere outside the U.S. must pay via paypal. Sorry, I'm looking into how converting cash, check and money orders through my bank works.

- All paypal payments, please send them as a gift under the personal tab. (I think this option can only apply to anyone getting a commission from me outside Manga Bullet's shop system.)

- For paypal payments made from anywhere OUTSIDE the U.S. you are responsible for paying the currency conversion fee. It is 2.5% of your total payment to me.(I think this option can only apply to anyone getting a commission from me outside Manga Bullet's shop system.)

- If you're paying in cash, checks, or money orders they must be well concealed and have Delivery verification so we can avoid any problems. (no bickering over "I sent it!" "No you didn't I never got the money Dx" etc etc). This form of payment is for U.S. buyers only.

- You must accept all responsibility for payments sent via mail i.e. cash, checks, or money orders. By paying in these methods you agree that I am not going to be held liable if your payment is lost or stolen before it reaches me. If this is the case you will need to resend the payment.
