UPDATE:
My pricing system has been adjusted to further fit my abilities and personal preferences with my artwork. I am finding that none of my current commissions are rewarding the work I find painfully tedious due to my prices being a little too low. So the things I hate doing (ie- digital lineart) are now substantially more expensive to make doing them worth while to me personally.

All current, outgoing commissions that have previously been quoted shall remain as they are. I have already given you guys a price so I will do your commissions for that promised price. But any new commissions I get from here on out will follow the new pricing system. Just so that everyone is aware.

T-Shirts: [link]
T-SHIRTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME

Any of the above images may also be put onto a t-shirt for an additional $10 if you choose a light colored shirt (white, light gray, light pink, light blue, etc) or $15 for a darker colored shirt (black, navy blue, etc). The reason for the price difference is in the cost of the transfer paper: dark-shirt transfer paper is more expensive.

When ordering, be sure to specify a clothing size (small, medium, large, or extra large (anything above an extra large will cost an extra $2)) and a color choice (white, light gray, dark gray, black, red, deep pink, light pink, light green, dark green, sky blue, royal blue, navy blue, orange). As mentioned above, color choice will affect the price.

Text may be added free of charge for the purpose of the shirt only. The text will not appear on the image file or painting itself unless requested. Both back and front designs are acceptable.

Both the t-shirt and a separate copy of the image will be mailed to you, along with a set of directions for maintenance and washing.

T-SHIRTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME





PAYMENT NOTICE
I am a currently only accepting Paypal or mail-in money order as forms of payment at this time. All payments must be made in US Dollars.

Commissions will most likely be sketched without payment. The sketch will then be shown to you for approval. Once the sketch is approved, production will cease until I receive at least 50% of the total payment. After that I will continue working on the work until completion. But it will not be shown/revealed or mailed to you until the full payment is made.

This is to prevent either of us from being ripped off.

All negotiations are to occur here on Deviantart via the Private Messaging/Notes system, or via my email, to protect the privacy of both the commissioner and myself.



ADJUSTMENT NOTICE

All commissions that go beyond the sketch stage are allowed ONE and only one adjustment stage. Meaning, should you desire something about the sketch to be changed, I will do so, free of charge. However, I will no longer resubmit it for approval. I shall fix it once and only once.

For larger commissions involving detailed shading or backgrounds, I will allow for unlimited numbers of adjustments up until completion. There will be at least three stages at which I will check for approval and work in progress shots can be requested at the commissioner's leisure.

I will NOT make ANY adjustments that fall under the fault of the commissioner. If you claim that there is no specific pose you desire, and then later tell me to change the pose I've drawn, I am not obligated to comply. You did not specify the pose, so you'll just have to take what you get. The same can be said for expressions, the environment or background of an image, size of the image, and medium the image is done in. If you do not specify these things, I WILL NOT make adjustments later. Be very up front in which you request. Large or detailed commissions are exempt from this rule. If you are paying me $50 for a commission request, I will make whatever changes you desire.





SUBJECT NOTICE
I am currently only accepting animal commissions. Meaning only feral animals, fantasy animals, and anthros/furres. I don't feel like fighting with my hatred of drawing people at the moment. Feral subjects are best for me, particularly those of a canid or big cat nature. But any and all species are acceptable.

NO spiders though... ever. I'm arachnophobic, I'm afraid. -_-

ooo, are you selling emo horse shirts? i have a couple LJ friends who would kill their mothers for one :)
Yea I hear ya. I'm also a job-outcast, and I wanna open commissions for money so I can save up for a Wacom Cintiq 12WX. Lulz but no one will commission me. Oh well.

How will you know unless you try? :3 I honestly don't think many people will actually commission me, since I doubt many of my watchers have money, but it's worth a shot right?

The only time you truly fail is why you don't bother to try. ;)

I have tried. But since I can't open paypal for awhile, that really limits my payment options to just mail. Which limits who can commission me, because if it's out of my country, just mailing payment might cost more than the commission itself. I'm hoping to get more watchers this summer, so I can maybe get 1 or 2 commissions and maybe open paypal if it's successful. Wanna make some of that moola. =) =/

But yes, I have tried. It's in my journal.

Yeah, I can see how that would limit things severely. Sending money by mail is not the safest way to do things. Well, all i can say is to try advertising a little (put a link to your commissions in your sig like I did), and maybe do some art trades with artists all over DA, particularly popular but not really busy ones. This'll get your name out into the community so people looking to commission will know you exist. :)

Yea, my situation sucks. I know the risk of payment by mail. I should really see about a paypal account. You have to pay like a monthly fee for paypal, right? How much does it cost?

The art trade thing is a good idea. I don't know why I can't think of the simplest things. :lol:
Are you a busy artist? =D

And as for the signature thing; another simple idea that completely flew over my head. lulz

Thanks for the suggestions =)

-awesome avatar made by *chiballo :heart:
I'm not sure. I use my dad's paypal, so I'll have to find out from him how much it costs.

Busy? Meh. Not yet, since no one has ordered any commissions. X3 Note me. ;)

You're welcome. Glad I could help somehow. ^^
