Your original Manga style Characters
Your original Fan Characters
I'll only do someone else's original characters IF we have their permission.
Anime/Manga Fanart
Fantasy Work
Pixel Icons, both inanimate and animated

Also, I may consider anything else I've done before in my gallery


Traditional:
Pencil drawing
Ink by fine liner
Ink by dip nib
Pencil graphite shading
Traditional work is done on A4 paper, usually 96 g/m2. If requested, I can use thicker sheets, but I am most comfortable with this paper.

Digital:
Painting/airbrushing
Digital tone work
Digital cel shading
Pixel Icons



Allowed:
Gore done on negotiation, but I am not too squeamish.
Boys' Love (Shonen-ai) and Girls' Love (Shoujo-ai).
Non Pornographic nudity (Pin-up type poses are OK, blatant sex poses are not.)

Not Allowed:
Porn and particularly hardcore nudity. This is due to be being on university internet connection.
Bigoted/hateful/overly offensive content
Heavily religious content
I have the right to turn down other pictures if I so wish, but I am not particularly picky, so feel free to note me if there is anything you are unsure about.

Weaker or Inexperienced Areas:
Robots
Animals
Traditional Colouring Methods
"Chibi" style artwork
My female anatomy is OK, but not on par with my male anatomy. Check my gallery for a recent idea on this.

How?
If you want to commission me, contact me on this account, or email me with the details of your request. Be sure to include the medium of the picture and a decent overview (genre, character, et.c.).

What I Need
A Reference If I have never drawn the character before, I will probably need a good reference. This can either be from a picture, or text. Bear in mind however, that text is going to be less concrete than a picture, and the more details I get the better. Remember, the better the reference, the better idea I have of what I'm going to do!

Specifics If you have a pose or setting or anything else in mind, say so, and don't be afraid to be precise; for instance, if you want a fighting pose, is it defensive, or offensive? You are paying, and if you are specific, you are more likely to like the result. Plus, it makes life easier on me.

Note these prices are approximate and can vary with specific situations. More complex pictures will probably be a bit more, and simpler ones are a bit cheaper, since these things take different lengths of time. Also, the prices of anything that has preceding stages (i.e. Digital art needs an ink to colour) include those in the price too.

All prices listed are in British Pounds with a rough US equivalent. (As of July 2007.)

Paypal is heavily preferred. I will take concealed cheques or cash by mail if you must.
Finalised artwork will have a low opacity watermark like my other completed artwork since January/February 2007.
I will keep you updated as I work on the commission. Once I finish the basic sketch, I will show you a watermarked version. Note me if you want any more updates.
For traditional artwork, I can post the original to you if you want it, but you have to cover the mailing costs.
You may not resell my artwork. You may only post it elsewhere (like your own website) with my permission. The watermark may not be removed and you still have to clearly credit me.
I reserve the right to post any artwork on deviantArt, or any website of my own choosing.
