Having been asked for this, I finally spent some time figuring it up. I also used the commission I'm working on now for timelines to figure how long it takes me to do something (which obviously figures into the price). All prices are set for a full 8.5 x 11 inch piece of paper; larger and smaller pieces would cost more or less (exact amounts varying according to the finished size).

Sketch/Design: A rough pencil drawing of the subject and may include some shading, but don't expect a background. I will send a high-resolution digital copy by email. $5, $10 for a cleaned up sketch with inked outlines

Examples: [link] and [link]

Full Graphite/Inked Lineart: A fully rendered pencil piece or inked lines and shading. I will send a high-resolution digital copy by email, and the original if the commissioner pays for shipping. $30 with background, $25 without

Full color: A fully rendered colored pencil piece, with inked lines on request. I will send a high-resolution digital copy by email, and the original if the commissioner pays for shipping. $40 with background, $30 without; colored paper available at no extra charge

Details: I of course reserve the right to refuse anything I find objectionable. I have no desire to do porn, but nudes and some measure of violence are acceptable. I can work from photographs if desired; I can also do creatures/people/characters/etc that you create as well as those of others with their permission. Copyrighted characters are off-limits, though; the fan art I do, I don't get money for. Visual references are great, but if all you have is a text description, that's fine too. I also reserve the right to put the image here on dA, in my portfolio, and to sell prints unless negotiated otherwise.

With everything except the sketch commission, I will email the commissioner a low-res copy of the design for approval before starting work on inking, shading, or coloring. This is not to slow down the process, but to save the other person potential aggravation if my design is not what s/he had in mind. After approval, I'll keep the commissioner updated as to my progress until I can get it done.

Payment will need to be in advance unless otherwise negotiated. I have Paypal, but a money order in the mail is also okay. If you send a check, I'll need to wait until it clears beforehand. Please no cash in the mail, but if you know me personally, cash in person is fine. If I decide to raise my prices, the price will only apply to future commissions; current ones will remain at the original quoted price. Also, I don't have a specific number of slots open, but if I start getting swamped I will put up a notice that I'm not taking more until my plate is clear.
