What kind of artwork do you make?

I can draw your original characters, custom fan art based on existing characters (e.g. from books, video games, anime, etc.), and of course anything to do with the True Magic comic.

I specialize in fantasy-themed artwork, but if you'd like to see something of a different genre in my style, feel free to ask. As long as the subject is in good taste, chances are I'll be happy to draw it for you.

Everything is digitally rendered. Inked and/or colored images are saved at a high resolution so that you can print them.

You can view some sample images by visiting the Portfolio, Gallery, and Art Blog, or by clicking the thumbnails below.

How much does it cost?

Depending on the size and complexity of the project, I might charge a little more or a little less. These are the current prices for a normal 8.5x11" illustration with one or two characters:

Sketch: $10	B&W Ink: $20	Full Color: $50

All payments are received by PayPal. When I accept a commission, I'll ask for a $10 deposit up front. For a sketch, that's the full price. For inked/colored art, the rest of the fee is due when the image is finished and before I deliver it to you. I work by the project, not by the hour — so once we agree on a price, it's set. :)

Anything else?

Want something that doesn't fit into an 8.5x11" format? Here are a few other types of custom art I can make for you:

• Forum Avatars / LJ Icons (100x100 pixels)
• Banners / Sig Images (480x68 pixels)
• Site Logos and WordPress Header Images
• Book Covers and Story Illustrations

If you're interested in something like that, or something else altogether, just choose the "Other" option on the request page and describe what you'd like.

How may I use the artwork?

You're welcome to display your commission on your personal site or blog, as long as you provide credit to the artist and a link back to true-magic.com. Just remember that even if the art features your characters, as the artist I still retain the full distribution rights to the image. Please ask and obtain my written consent if you want to publish or distribute it via a different arrangement.

How do we get started?

If you've read and agree with the terms above, you can submit a request here. Just give me a description of what you want, including links to the reference images (if any) that you'd like me to see.

After I've accepted the commission and received the $10 down payment, I'll show you a preview sketch so that you can approve the drawing and note any changes you'd like me to make.

When your artwork is done and I have the full payment, I'll send your image to you. You will have a 72dpi copy for optimal computer screen display, and, if the image is inked and/or colored, a high-resolution version to print as well.
