Commission Info
Hey there! If you’ve landed here, you may be interested in a custom art commission from me.
Most of the work I do is digital, especially portraits although I am open to traditional works like drawings or paintings. I typically work from reference photos. The more quality photos, the better!
If your commission idea isn’t a portrait, please send reference images or anything else that inspires your concept. Photos, color palettes, or even past pieces of mine you like. If you don’t have much for me to go off of, that’s totally fine too as I enjoy creative freedom!
The Commission Process
Initial Discussion
We’ll agree on:
- Canvas size
- Details you want included
- Price and timeline
Contract & Deposit
Once everything is clear, I’ll send you a commission contract summarizing what we’ve agreed on. A 25% deposit is required to secure your spot in my schedule and begin work. I accept payment via Venmo, PayPal, or CashApp (other options can be discussed if needed). Confirmation via email is also required to begin.
Sketch & Revisions
I’ll send you a rough sketch to approve and will make any requested changes at this stage. If anything major changes, the contract will be updated accordingly.
Final Artwork & Delivery
Once the artwork is complete:
- You’ll pay the remaining 75%
- I’ll send you the full-resolution digital file via email
If for some reason you're not satisfied with the finished piece, you won’t be obligated to pay the rest. I’ll keep the art and the 25% deposit. If large revisions are requested after the piece is complete, additional costs may apply (but we’ll discuss it beforehand).
If you'd like a physical print, I can ship one to you for an additional shipping and handling fee.
