Examples & Pricing

Main style

(click on images for larger size)

Artwork in a painted style and with an anime-esque face, done primarily on a single layer. Any backgrounds will be overall simple by default. Note that I use various color adjustment layers afterwards, so the colors likely will not appear completely eyedropped and exact, although I will try my best to maintain overall accuracy.In the case of full-bodies and similar especially, note that I do largely prioritize composition if I can, so the finished artwork cannot be fully guaranteed to show 100% of the body still unless specifically requested.
I also have been drawing as of late in a more explicitly anime style instead, with simpler faces than the examples currently shown here. I can likely still manage either, so feel free to state if you have a preference, or I may default to what I myself feel suits the concept and character best.Headshots/busts will likely have more finer detail than the head portion of a full or half-body, etc.

  • Headshot/Bust: $30 USD

  • Half-body: $45 USD

  • Thigh-up: $55 USD

  • Full-body: $70 USD

Colored sketch

(click on images for larger size)

Artwork in a rough but mostly cleaned sketch style. Artwork is fully colored by default with lightly tinted lines where appropriate.In the case of full-bodies and similar especially, note that I do largely prioritize composition if I can, so the finished artwork cannot be fully guaranteed to show 100% of the body still unless specifically requested.

  • Headshot/Bust: $15 USD

  • Half-body: $35 USD

  • Thigh-up: $40 USD

  • Full-body: $50 USD

Extra fees

(click on images for larger size)

If I'm confident an aspect of the concept or character design will likely significantly add to the time working, these may be added if it applies! Examples with what would are above.

  • Complex designs (meaning lots of accessories, ruffles, complex tattoos, armor, etc.): +10-25%

  • Additonal character (interacting): +10-25% (in addition to original price x2)

  • Background/scene or props: +10-25% depending on complexity. Note that all BGs are very sketchy. No fee may apply for extra simple ones.

  • Prominent hand(s) in headshot/bust: +$5 USD

Examples & Pricing

CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE

Pixel Icons

(click on images for larger size)

A 100x100px headshot of your character.Including by default:
a blink animation, a png still version, a white outline, a 200px resize, and a transparent background.Optional additions include: A simple solid color background (Let me know if you have something specific in mind, and I'll see if I can give it a try!), and/or a version without the white outline. Note that requesting several variations of the same commission may result in a slight price increase due to the increased amount of time spent saving and exporting everything, and I will let you know if that would be the case.

  • Straight-on angle: $15

  • 3/4 angle: $17

  • + expression change: $2

  • + animal ear bounce: $3

  • + other experimental animation: Up to $5 depending on complexity

  • Up to +$5 for complex designs (Some detail loss may be unavoidable regardless, but I will try my best)

Other Experimental Options

Want me to try something I haven't done much of before (if at all)? Feel free to contact me and we can discuss it! I'm still in a very experimental stage with my art, so I'm willing to try different kinds of things. Of course, since these would be especially experimental, the quality and style may vary, so commission at your own risk.See my Toyhou.se gallery for examples of some things I've done, but simply haven't done enough of to consider formally offering for commissions.

Some things I'm willing to try would include:

  • NSFW (if you and your character(s) are 18+)

  • Pixel art (fullbody chibi)

  • Chibis

  • Fullbodies

  • Sketches

  • Interactions beyond two characters

  • Slightly more detailed scenes

  • Potentially some other things

Discord: Ask and I will provide it, and we may move communication to there!

  • Note that I am not always the fastest at communication. I will make sure, however, to try my best to reply within 24 hours, and ideally much less!

  • Feel free to let me know how frequently you prefer to see updates! Otherwise I will likely default to relatively often while I'm progressing on the picture.

  • Don't be afraid to point out any corrections if I miss or mess anything up in the design, or otherwise notice anything that you would prefer done differently! I may be unable to change the entire picture beyond the sketch phase, but anything within reason. I want the final result to be something you're happy with, after all!

  • I am open for trying more complex concepts at an added price.

  • Please feel free to ask questions if you have any!

  • I have a Trello for general updates on art progress. I will attempt to show progress by default for each major milestone, but you're welcome to ask periodically as well.
