What Are Art Commissions?

You can hire me to create original artwork for you! 

Types of Artwork I can Make for You: 

  • Sketches and Paintings
  • Pet and Favorite Animal Portraits
  • Original Character and Creature Designs 
  • Busts and Full Body Illustrations
  • Logo Designs
  • Tattoo Designs
  • Book Covers
  • Much More! Just Ask!

How Does It Work?

  1. You send me reference sheets, reference photos, and/or a description of what you would like me to create for you 
  2. I create the rough sketch for your commission and send it to you
  3. You accept the sketch or request changes. After you accept the sketch you must pay 50% of the commission’s cost and major structural changes can no longer be made to your commission without incurring extra fees. 
  4. You will receive periodic photo updates on the status of your commission as I work on it.
  5. I finish your commission and you pay me the additional 50% of the commission’s cost so that I can release to you the final product (a high resolution digital file)*. I can also, for an additional fee have a high quality print of your commission made for you.

*Commissions are intended for personal use only. Please communicate with me ahead of time if you intend to use your commissioned artwork for commercial purposes

Commission FAQs

All of my commissions at this time are painted digitally. I start with a blank canvas and use digital brushes very similar to traditional paint brushes to create my artwork stroke by stroke. 

Yes! You will always receive  high resolution files containing your commissioned digital artwork, but for a small additonal charge I can also send you physical copies of your comissioned paintings!

You can do a lot with your digital painting file! Put it on a t-shirt, hat, or a blanket. Make it into a sticker, postcard, highquality print, or poster. Use it as a phone wallpaper or put it on a phone case. Websites like shutterfly can make your digital painting into many types of products!

I use the Ipad Pro and Apple Pencil with Procreate software and/or a Wacom Intuos Pro Tablet with Photoshop Software to create my digital art.
