I am currently unavailable for commissions (unless you have already spoken with me) as I am booked up for several months. I should be re-opening mid 2013.

I work in a range of styles as demonstrated in my galleries, including pencil sketches, watercolours, acrylic paintings, and digital paintings. Subjects that I can paint include general fantasy themes (fairies, elves, mermaids, warriors, knights, RPG characters, unicorns, dragons, mermaids, angels), science fiction, and urban fantasy.

Commissioned work may include:

• Cover art, book and magazine illustrations, interiors
• RPG Character illustrations
• Portrait work (portraits, fantasy portraits, role playing portraits)
• General illustration work for personal or commercial use

See the Step by Step Commission page (Or click on the image below) for further details on what is involved in a commission.

Most commissions are completed within 4-10 weeks of payment depending upon complexity. If you are interested in a quote, please contact me.

Visit my Commissions Gallery to see previous examples (I’ve included some older work, to show the range of subjects I’ve done).

 

Prices/Commission Rates

These prices are a guide only, based on a single character with a fairly simple background. The more detail and complexity introduced, the higher the price. All prices are in US$, though payment can be accepted in either US or Australian currency.

For pre-made commission pieces, check out my gallery at Portrait Adoption. (N.B. These pieces are likely to be cheaper as they were created for fun and don’t involve the same kind of work that regular commissions require). Some customisation is available.

Digital Commission

What do you get: 1 digital file in JPG format @ 180 dpi, used for personal web display or non-profit use (i.e. not used for commercial enterprise). Files are painted above 300dpi for print resolution. (Delivery by email or secure download). If you require avatars made from the painting for use in a forum or within a game, please let me know and I can do this as part of the commission for no extra cost.

Commercial Projects

Cover Commissions

Please state up front deadlines and if non-disclosure agreements are required.

Covers are painted at 300dpi, and allows for both electronic & print publishing rights (detailed within a contract).

 

Spot illustrations/ interior illustrations are available. Please refer to private commission pricing for a rough guide.

Payments:

I accept payments through PayPal in either US or Australian dollars (this includes credit card transactions). I do not take on speculative/ royalty only work.

Rights and Publishing:

Unless negotiated, all printing and publishing rights remain mine. Commercial commissions will be specific to the commission request, and I still prefer to maintain the right to display the work in my gallery. I do not sell full copyright on any artwork commissioned (unless a specific work for hire agreement is in place).

I have the right to refuse any commission for any reason, but in particular requests for copyrighted/ trademarked characters, or work of an offensive nature.
