Commissions

Journal Entry: Wed May 7, 2008, 11:52 AM
Alright, I’m gonna try this again.

It’s been super busy here artistic wise, but at my new job I’m constantly being bored to tears. So I’ve decided to re-open my commissions again. Here are the basic rules

1. I only accept PayPal. It’s just faster for me and you and safer too. No money orders, or cash, or checks or anything else other than PayPal. I’ve been burned far too long on those and I don’t like working hard and then getting nothing out of it.

2. If you want me to draw one of your characters, please provide me with reference. This goes for non-original characters too. Unless it’s something super-duper popular like Mario and Link, I’m probably going to need reference to draw it.

3. Be clear on what you want. Nothing bothers me more than having someone say “draw this character” but then doesn’t go on to explain HOW they want them drawn or WHAT they are doing. The less clear you’re going to be, the more likely I’m just going to make it up.

4. My price is a flat $30 for a digitally colored work with one character. Any extra characters are an additional $5. So if it’s one character in the scene it’s $30. If it’s 2 characters it’s $35, if it’s 3 characters it’s $40... see the pattern?

5. Finally, I reserve the right to reject an idea if it’s not something I’m inclined to do. I sometimes get requests that are just really really unnerving for me and I don’t want to do them. The person then tries re-wording their request to see if I’ll do it, and i can guarantee you that that won’t help. Please, just accept it and think of something a little less... unnerving if I say no. I don’t LIKE saying no, so if you don’t hear from me in a while, check up on me and see if I’m still interested. Sometimes I have a tendency to just not reply right away. Sorry.

Alright, i think that covers the basics.

Oh yeah, all requests are to be E-Mailed to me at Adobson66@yahoo.com Please don’t use the notes on SA or DA to contact me. Only e-mail because that’s the only one I can check while I’m at work. Alright? Sound good to everyone? I hope so!

So here we go! *opens commission doors with a creek*

Hey TomPreston.

You might remember me from the NSider Fan Art board, but probably not.

Anyway, keep up the awesome work. :)
