Commissions

Private commissions

Are you looking for an illustrator who can create illustrations in manga style? Look no further! Of course I can also adjust my artstyle to a more realistic or cartoony style!

If you want to hire me for a private commission please read through this page to get an overview of my services and current rates.

If you are looking to hire me for commercial/non-private purposes, you can see apart from this page and instead please write me an e-mail on the contact page.

Status: COMMISSIONS ARE TEMPORARILY CLOSED!

About commissioning me

Before you order, please make sure to have read my Terms of Service further down below. These terms apply to private commissions only. This information is NOT applicable for commercial work, therefore the art can only be used for the client’s personal purposes.

When I have commission slots open, you can use the form at the bottom of this page to order. Please be aware that the form is just sending me an e-mail with your commission request. You will not be charged for anything when using the form. Once I have received your e-mail I will get back to you with an estimate of the final price which you then agree upon. If I cannot take your commission for any reason I will let you know as well.

All prices below are base prices and include a single character. Things that might increase the price are complex character designs, not being able to provide a good visual reference, complex backgrounds, amount of detail in the image in general.

Pricelist

All starting prices include a single character. No background. My style is typically stylized manga style influenced characters. I don’t do realism but I can do Semi-realism. Turnarounds/character sheets are also possible but the price varies a lot depending on the complexity of the character. Ask for this when you place the commission order 🙂 All my prices are in Euros. Check xe.com for conversion into your currency. All prices are Excl. 21% TAX. For shipping prices, see below at the end of this page.

Shipping

Shipping varies depending on the client’s preferred shipping method. All real media artworks will be shipped in an envelope or mail box, protected in a plastic sheet and reinforced with multiple backing boards to prevent bending. Digital artworks will be send via email and do not have shipping costs, but it is possible to have prints made of them in various sizes wich can be directly shipped to you.

Terms of Service

If you have a problem with any of these statements, they may be changed if discussed with me prior to ordering your commissioned piece.

1. GENERAL TERM

• All drawings will include a subtle signature that you may not remove.
• I might record the drawing process and post it on my youtube or share on my patreon.
• Prices are subject to change based on demand.
• I have the right to reject any order that I do not feel  comfortable drawing for any reason.

2. PAYMENT

• Currency accepted is either USD or Euro’s  and can be paid through PayPal or bank transfer.
• All commissions must be paid in full upfront. For big pieces (€ 100+) I can agree to split the payment.
• Don’t send me any money before I have agreed to give you a slot and requested you to send me the payment.

3. PROCESS AND DELIVERY

• I will notify you when I have started on your commission and you, therefore, lose the rights to a refund (see point 7 further below for more info on refunds)
• While I’m working on your commission I will make reviews with you to make sure I make it just right for you!
• Amount of reviews depend on the complexity of the work.
• During the reviews, you will see work-in-progress and these images will usually include a watermark and be smaller than the finished piece.
• The time it takes to finish your commission varies 1 week – 2 months depending on factors such as health, complexity of commissioned piece, other work, family issues and con seasons.
• If anything comes up that will slow the progress of the initially estimated delivery time I will let you know asap.
• Once the piece is finished you will receive the full-resolution image. Note that there is no physical product. Depending on where you live, we can arrange to print your artwork. Just ask 🙂

4. REVISIONS

• A fee will be added if you want something changed on the final drawing – unless, of course, a misunderstanding from my side has been made.
• If you wish for me to change something in the drawing you have previously been satisfied with, I will charge you a fee to change it. The amount of the extra charge depends on the change you want me to make.
• If your reference is unclear to start with changes will come at an extra charge.

5. COPYRIGHT / USAGE POLICY

I, the artist, claim the rights to the produced drawing, not the buyer. Therefore I am allowed to use the copyrighted artwork to:

•  Promote myself with it everywhere
•  Publish books with it
•  Display it everywhere to my liking
•  Post it wherever I want

The buyer is allowed to:

• Use the commissioned piece for personal use unless agreed otherwise (yes, you can upload it to your dA, Instagram, tumblr, etc.)
• Print the artwork and claim the character(s) as their own, but not the artwork itself.
• Use the artwork to promote themselves. You are not forced to give me credit when you post it but it is very appreciated.

The following is considered copyright infringement.

• Reproducing/using the copyrighted artwork commercially – means making money off it in any way.
• Claiming the artwork as your own
• Removing my signature from the artwork
• Altering the artwork without my consent

I reserve the full rights to the image and it’s use/distribution unless otherwise agreed upon (rights to the image for your own non-personal use may be purchased).

6. CUSTOMER SATISFACTION

• I will do everything I can to make my customers happy!
• If you have a problem with anything in regards to the commissioned piece please tell me right away so we can find a solution together.

7. REFUND / CANCELLATION POLICY

• The buyer is not allowed a refund once I started working on the commission.
• If for any reason I am unable to start your commission you will receive a full refund.
• If you cancel your order before I started it, you can get a full refund.
• If you are getting a refund, do not request a Paypal chargeback. I will transfer the money back to you myself.
• If you request a Paypal chargeback at any point when you were not allowed to ask for a refund you will lose all beforementioned rights to the commissioned piece and I will have the full right to profit further from it in any way. I will also decline the chargeback and give Paypal our conversations in which we talk about the commission as evidence that I have completed work for you. Futhermore you will be blacklisted for commissioning me again.
• If the buyer breaks any of the points stated above they will lose all beforementioned rights to the artwork commissioned by me, the artist, and I will have the right to profit further from the commissioned artwork in any way I see fit. If you have a problem with any of these statements, they may be changed if discussed with me prior to ordering your commissioned piece.

What do you get?

• Drafts/mockups that you must decide which one I should continue with
• Sketch and/or final sketches that you must accept before I continue the work
• Insight and involvement in color plan (depending on complexity of the commissioned piece)
• Full-resolution file (approx. 210 x 297 mm at 300 DPI) of final drawing and a smaller version for internet upload. Final file format is usually JPG.
