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 OPEN!!
Take me to the Form
Thank you for your interest! To apply for a commission, please fill out the form in the link above. In the meantime, this page lists all the questions included in the form, so you can prepare in advance.
Below, you’ll find all the details on prices, terms & conditions, and the commission process—just to ensure we’re both on the same page.
If you have any questions, feel free to email me at Dreamchaserart[@]gmail.com or send me a DM Instagram. 🙂 I look forward to working with you!
The Process
1: Fill out the application form with all the info and references for your commission.
2: I’ll contact you as soon as possible with a price quote.
3: If you agree to the quote, I’ll send you the (first) invoice and start working on your commission after I’ve received the payment.
4: I’ll send you work in progress images of the setup, the sketch, the lines, and the coloring that you can give feedback on. A total of five adjustment rounds are included in the price.
5: Once the art is finished and approved, I’ll send you the second invoice ( if there is still a payment to be made) Once the total amount of the commission has been paid, I will ship out your commission with track and trace.
