Pricing
Ah, the part that’s always a little awkward to talk about.
Let’s save us both some anxiety. What you’ll find below are my estimates for most standard commissions. I’ll give you an exact quote at the time we discuss your request.
I do accept payment plans for all commissions I offer.
I require a minimum $20 deposit to begin work, after which, I will work at the speed you pay me (each payment = that many hours scheduled in my immediate workload), which prevents me from putting in time I may not be paid for. I’ll be happy to share WIPs along the way with each payment you make. Finished art will not be delivered until final payment is made.
I accept Paypal, Stripe, Venmo, and others.
PenCil
These represent standard* costs for single figure artwork with minimal/very simple backgrounds. Find prices for add-ons at the bottom of the list.
*While pencil prices do not vary nearly as much as digital, highly complex pieces may still cost more than what is listed here, if it would take me more than an extra hour to finish.
| Portrait, half body, & full body Sketch with simple shading No color / monochrome | $40* (*this is my “can you do it for cheaper?” threshold. No, I cannot make you anything cheaper than this, sorry.) |
| Portrait & half body Drawing Full color | $60 |
| Full body Drawing No color / monochrome | $60 |
| Full body Drawing Full color | $80 |
| Add a figure Sketch | $20 per figure |

If you don’t see something in this price list that’s a good fit for what you want, just send me a message! Custom options are always available.
Digital
These are ESTIMATES only to give prospective buyers an idea of what to expect. Final costs will be agreed upon after discussing your requests!
Feel free to make an offer, but be aware I do not work on digital art for less than $30-$40/h. On rare occasions, I may consider art trades… emphasis on rare, but feel free to inquire.
