Commissions
Sometimes, you just want some art that represents you. This is the page where you figure out how to get that done~
The Process
- You send me an email with “Commission” somewhere in the subject & all relevant information to get going.
- How many people, Chibi/Bust/Full Body, B&W/Simple/Full Color, References, Due Date, and if you want, where you’d like it posted to (anything I draw will go into my portfolio, but if you want to put it somewhere specific, tell me)
- Please include whether you would like to print the image. I work in on-screen resolution (72dpi), which isn’t great for printing. If you want something printed, I need to work at 300dpi.
- I respond with a final quote. You have the option then to tell me to go ahead or back out.
- I sketch a base sketch, ask you for any changes once. Get them all *then* (For clarity, a change is something that adjusts the subject–a complete redraw of the subject is not a change and will cost a new black and white sketch of the subject. Please, know what you want ahead of time)
- I will fix the sketch. At this point, you pay me at http://paypal.me/sethron
- I finish the piece. If it is color, I will send you the black and white and ask you for any final edits. These are minor cosmetic updates.
- I finish coloring the piece. You can ask for color adjustments at this stage–get it all at once.
- Success!

The Weird Commissions
These types of commissions require negotiation up front for costs, because there’s no guarantee how much work they are going to be
FAQ & Glossary
You Likely Want to Know what I Mean
Base Request
Chibi, Full body, or Bust
Chibis ($20) are small, simplified drawings of whatever character. They do not come in bust version for me, but if a group picture is commissioned of them, you may see differing variations on how much of them are visible.
Bust ($30) commissions are anything that is stomach-up. It guarantees nothing more than the shoulders up, but can extend down to as far as the hips.
Full Body ($40) commissions include anything that shows thighs or below. You are not guaranteed anything further down, but a full-body commission often includes everything including feet.
Additions
These are added to the base request to make the total (So a Complex Color Chibi is $80)
Simple Colors ($40) are colors without shades, or ‘box colors’. This sometimes can include very basic shadows done on the skin and hair, but never includes shadows on clothing.
Complex Colors ($60) are fully invested shades and textures added as the piece needs. If you want my coloring to the full extent, this is where it’s at.
Difficult ($20+) is added for any additional details you ask for that I would find challenging. Weapons, backgrounds, armors, specific styles I’m emulating. The amount this tag costs depends on the added complexity of the piece. You will be informed by me how and for what I think the difficult tag will be added, and have the opportunity to remove those elements before we settle. An animal or furry is always a character of their own, with the difficult tag added to them.
Background ($20+) I will add a simple background frame to any commission for $20. It makes a commission stand out really well. Real background that are not a frame cost $20/hour worked on them, minimum $20.
Other Pieces
Sometimes people want me to do animations, comics, logos, etc. These are negotiated on the fly and I will show you what it costs. Keep in mind that comics and animations can get very expensive, because of how many drawings one has to do in order to do them. Don’t be afraid to ask, but don’t be surprised if I quote you in the $400+ range.
An Example Email
Subject: Commission: Jarrek the Knight
Message:
Type: Full Body, Complex Color
I’d like a drawing of Jarrek, my character. He is 6’0, brown hair tied back in a ponytail, blue eyes, pale skin, a full beard and mustache, wearing a basic tunic with a thick belt. Reference pictures below: (include all references you can–other art, pictures of what you’re imagining, photos of people who look like your character, whatever)

The Special Commissions
These commissions are specially priced as they are made to be packaged.
Card Suit $350 [Valued at: A lot. My prices just changed.]
The back of the cards are already made, but if you would like to purchase a new Suit, here’s your bulk price option and details. This cannot be used with any other discounts. Sorry, Patrons. It’s already 50% off.
What you get: A full set of non-face cards (1-9), a Suit Border, a Suit Ace, and 4 Face Cards (10-13)
Choose a Suit [Cannot match a previous Suit I have made]
Choose High or Low Suit [High Suits have the cards: Knight, Prince, Princess, King as their 10, 11, 12, and 13; Low Suits have: Apprentice, Jack, Seneschal, Master as their 10, 11, 12, and 13]
Assign the characters you wish to the Face Cards (10, 11, 12, 13), send me your crest (optional) for the Ace.
Send me references of all character outfits with thorough descriptions of how the character should differentiate from the visual of the player. Anything that is referenced poorly will be made up. You may tell me personalities, but I get final say on poses (although you may suggest poses. Most will probably match your suggestions, but the reason there’s a discount on this is that it’s a large-order theme deck and that means I have to be able to keep you from asking me to draw you doing a backflip)
Pay up front. No further discounts allowed on this large scale order (sorry patrons, you can apply your discounts if you wish to purchase the suit piecemeal, below)
