by Henrik Larsen 45 views

Hey guys! Exciting news – my commissions are officially open, and I'm offering some seriously sweet deals starting at just $15! Whether you're looking to bring your original character to life, need some awesome art for your D&D campaign, or just want a unique piece for your personal collection, I'm here to help. I've been pouring my heart and soul into honing my skills, and I'm super stoked to collaborate with you and create something truly special. I'm really passionate about art, and there's nothing I love more than seeing a client's vision come to life on the canvas (or, well, the digital canvas, these days!). So, let's dive into the details, shall we? I want to make this process as transparent and fun as possible for you all. Let's talk about what I offer, my pricing structure, and how you can snag a commission spot before they fill up! I’ve structured my commission tiers to be as accessible as possible. I believe that everyone should have the opportunity to own a piece of custom art, and my starting price of $15 reflects that commitment. This entry-level tier is perfect for those who want a simple yet stunning portrait or sketch. Of course, I also offer more elaborate options for those who desire a fully rendered masterpiece. My ultimate goal is to cater to a wide range of artistic needs and budgets. The core of my artistic philosophy revolves around the concept of bringing your ideas to life. Whether you have a crystal-clear vision in mind or just a vague concept, I’m eager to collaborate with you. I see the commission process as a partnership, a journey where we work together to transform your imagination into a tangible work of art. I’m all ears when it comes to your preferences, your inspirations, and the nuances of your characters or concepts. After all, it’s your vision that I’m bringing to fruition, and I want to make sure that the final piece resonates with you on a deeply personal level. To that end, I encourage you to provide me with as much detail as possible – character descriptions, mood boards, color palettes, anything that will help me understand your vision more fully. The more information you give me, the better equipped I’ll be to create a piece that truly captures the essence of what you’re looking for.

What Kind of Art Can You Commission?

Okay, let's get into the fun stuff – the actual types of art I'm offering! I've got a range of options to suit different needs and tastes, from quick and charming character sketches to fully rendered, dynamic illustrations. If you're thinking about commissioning me, it's important to know what styles and options are available so you can choose the perfect fit for your project. The possibilities are pretty vast, but to give you a clearer idea, I've broken down my commission offerings into a few main categories. First up, we have character art. This is my bread and butter, and I absolutely love bringing characters to life! Whether it's your beloved D&D character, an original character you've been developing for years, or even a stylized portrait of yourself, I'm ready to tackle it. Within character art, we have a range of sub-options. We could go for a simple headshot, focusing on the character's face and expression. This is a great option if you want to capture their personality in a clear and concise way. Or, we could do a half-body illustration, which allows for more dynamic posing and details. And of course, there's the full-body illustration, where we can really go all out and showcase your character in their full glory, complete with intricate outfits, weapons, and backgrounds. Then there's illustration work in general. This is a broader category that encompasses all sorts of artwork, not just character-focused pieces. Maybe you need an eye-catching illustration for your blog, a unique book cover, or even some custom artwork for your Twitch stream. Whatever it is, I'm up for the challenge. Illustration work can range from simple, graphic designs to complex, painterly scenes. We can work together to create something that perfectly matches your vision and your brand. Think about the mood you want to evoke, the message you want to convey, and the style that best suits your needs. From there, we can brainstorm ideas and develop a concept that's both visually stunning and highly effective. This is where we can really get creative and push the boundaries of what's possible. I am also opening up to custom designs. If you're looking for something truly unique, a custom design might be just what you need. This could be anything from a character design for a video game to a logo for your business. The beauty of custom designs is that they're completely tailored to your specifications. We start from scratch, building the concept from the ground up. This process involves a lot of back-and-forth communication, as I want to make sure I'm capturing your vision perfectly. We'll discuss your target audience, your brand identity, and the overall aesthetic you're aiming for. And finally, I'm happy to offer fan art commissions! If you have a favorite character from a book, movie, or video game that you'd love to see in my style, I'm totally on board. Fan art is a fantastic way to celebrate the characters and worlds that you're passionate about. It's also a great way for me to flex my creative muscles and experiment with different styles and techniques. When it comes to fan art, I'm open to a wide range of subjects. Whether it's a classic superhero, a beloved anime character, or an obscure indie game protagonist, I'm excited to bring them to life in my own unique way.

Commission Pricing: Breaking It Down

Now, let's talk about the nitty-gritty – the pricing! I know this is a super important factor when you're considering a commission, and I want to make sure my pricing is transparent and fair. I've carefully considered my time, skill, and the materials involved to create a pricing structure that reflects the value of my work while still being accessible to a range of budgets. Remember that the prices I'm listing here are starting prices. The final cost of your commission may vary depending on the complexity of the piece, the level of detail involved, and any additional elements you might want to include, such as extra characters or intricate backgrounds. To give you a clearer picture, let’s break down the pricing by commission type. For character sketches, these are the most affordable option, starting at just $15. Sketches are a great way to get a quick and expressive piece of art. They're perfect for capturing a character's personality or trying out a concept before committing to a full illustration. A character sketch typically includes a linework drawing of a single character, with minimal shading. It's a simple yet effective way to bring your character to life. The price can increase if you want to add extra details, such as complex poses, multiple characters, or background elements. Then we have headshots and portraits, where prices start around $30. These are a step up from sketches, offering more detail and polish. A headshot focuses on the character's face and shoulders, while a portrait can include the upper body. These options are ideal for capturing a character's likeness and expression in a more refined way. With headshots and portraits, I typically add more detailed shading, rendering, and color work. This allows for a more realistic and expressive portrayal of your character. The price will vary depending on the complexity of the character's features, the level of detail in their clothing, and the addition of any accessories or props. Next up are half-body illustrations, which start at $50. This is where we start to get into more dynamic and engaging compositions. A half-body illustration allows for more posing and action, as well as the inclusion of more of the character's attire and equipment. This is a great option if you want to showcase your character in a specific pose or interacting with their environment. With half-body illustrations, I can really start to play with the character's body language and create a sense of movement and energy. The price will depend on the complexity of the pose, the details in the character's clothing and equipment, and the addition of any background elements. Finally, we have full-body illustrations, which start at $80. This is the most comprehensive option, allowing for a complete depiction of your character from head to toe. Full-body illustrations are perfect for showcasing your character in all their glory, with intricate details, dynamic poses, and captivating backgrounds. This option is ideal for those who want a truly stunning and impactful piece of art. With full-body illustrations, I can really go all out with the details, rendering every aspect of the character and their surroundings with meticulous care. The price will depend on the complexity of the character's design, the intricacy of their clothing and equipment, the dynamism of the pose, and the complexity of the background. And remember, for more complex commissions, such as those with multiple characters or detailed backgrounds, the price will be adjusted accordingly. I'm always happy to discuss your specific needs and provide you with a custom quote. Just shoot me a message, and we can chat about your project in detail.

How to Order Your Commission

Alright, so you're stoked about getting a commission – awesome! Now, let's talk about the process of actually ordering one. I've streamlined the process to make it as easy and straightforward as possible, so you can get your artwork in a timely manner without any hassle. The first step is to get in touch with me! The best way to do this is to send me a direct message through my preferred platform. This allows us to have a private conversation where we can discuss your project in detail. In your initial message, please be sure to include a brief description of what you're looking for. Tell me about the type of commission you're interested in (e.g., character sketch, half-body illustration), the subject matter (e.g., your original character, fan art), and any specific ideas or preferences you have in mind. The more information you provide upfront, the better I can understand your vision and provide you with an accurate quote. Next up is the consultation phase. Once I've received your initial message, I'll get back to you as soon as possible to discuss your project in more detail. This is where we'll really dive into the specifics of your commission. I'll ask you questions about your character, their personality, their appearance, their backstory – anything that will help me bring them to life in the most authentic way possible. If you have any reference images, mood boards, or color palettes, please feel free to share them with me. Visual aids are incredibly helpful in conveying your vision and ensuring that we're on the same page. We'll also discuss the overall composition, the pose, the background, and any other elements you want to include in your artwork. This is your chance to really let your creativity shine and tell me exactly what you're envisioning. And of course, we'll talk about the pricing and the timeline for your commission. Once we've ironed out all the details and agreed on the scope of the project, I'll provide you with a custom quote. This quote will include the total cost of the commission, as well as an estimated completion date. Once you've approved the quote, we'll move on to the next step. Speaking of pricing, I typically require a 50% upfront payment before I begin working on your commission. This helps me cover my initial costs and ensures that I'm able to dedicate the necessary time and resources to your project. The remaining 50% is due upon completion of the artwork, before I deliver the final files to you. I accept payments through [List Payment Methods], which is a secure and convenient way to transfer funds online. Once the payment is settled, I'll send you a confirmation and add your commission to my queue. From there, the real magic begins! Now comes the fun part – the creation process! I'll start working on your commission, keeping you updated on my progress along the way. I typically provide sketches and work-in-progress images at various stages of the process, so you can see how your artwork is coming together and provide feedback. This is a collaborative process, and I value your input every step of the way. If you have any suggestions or revisions, please don't hesitate to let me know. I want to make sure you're 100% happy with the final result. Once the artwork is complete, I'll send you a high-resolution digital file that you can use for whatever you like. Whether you want to print it out, use it as a profile picture, or share it on social media, the choice is yours! I also retain the right to showcase the artwork in my portfolio and on my social media channels, unless we've agreed otherwise. If you prefer that I keep your commission private, just let me know, and I'll respect your wishes.
