OH HAI.

I'm sure people have figured out that I do, indeed, check DA on a regular basis. I just hesitate to post things for various reasons. Primarily being I have unholy social anxiety and... I haven't had a desk set up that permitted me to scan things on a regular basis until recently. Which means I haven't scanned any of my sketchbooks etc for a very long time. I'd rather not flood the world with a billion sketches, but I might!

I don't know if I mentioned on here but I did manage to complete grad school in 15 months, land a job at a glorious non-profit theatre company (which is in my Master degree field) and have continued work on my comic. Which has had good and bad art days, you know?

I've also been over on Tumblr, though I have been posting recently due to terrible health issues. I'm pretty freaking sick right now.

Heeeeeeeey.

Long time no see.

I have a lot of stuff I should upload. Having two jobs does make it hard to keep track of social media. However that's probably a poor excuse.

When it comes to DA I have a pattern. I upload in giant spurts, and while that's annoying a heck to some it's just the way I work. My social anxiety reached insane proportions and it's really hard for me to recover from my anxiety attacks.

Ultimately, if anyone is still there: Thanks for sticking around.

And I'm going to hide for a bit longer.

I'm going to ignore my normal journal formatting for reasons. Ultimately I would like to say that I am, in fact, alive. The reason why I haven't been around has a lot to do with Grad School. I probably won't find time to upload anything here (I can barely do anything other than Grad School work, just so you know.)

Sheesh. DA changed a lot when I wasn't looking.

Commission Information


Terms of Service

I do not draw pornography or exceptionally gory pictures. I don't make exceptions to the rule, sorry.

I have a particular style that I work in, but I am flexible, so things are always open for discussion.

____

Base Prices:

Sketch $5-$10
Done digitally or traditionally. Traditional sketches are 8.5x11. No background is $5 dollars, a background is $10 dollars.

Washed Sketch $15
Done digitally, sketch approval is required before I apply colors. A simple background is included, as well as one to two characters.

"Quick" Digital $25
Sketch approval is required before I apply colors. A simple background is included. Additional characters cost extra.

Digital $40
Sketch approval is required before I put down the colors down. I will included Work in progress email updates for you as the piece progresses.

Detailed Digital $80
Sketch approval is required before I put down the colors down. I will included Work in progress email updates for you as the piece progresses.

Price Modifiers


Backgrounds: They are one of the major things that make a pieces price increase. A simple background is a solid color or it a few things to establish atmosphere, like a wall with a picture frame. The more complex the background, like wanting a very particular type of wallpaper, the more expensive the price.

Complex Interactions:  This means if your character is interacting with particularly complex object, like a teapot with a fully illustrated scene of two people in the park on it and you expect me to illustrate that as well.

Complex Clothing: If you want something exceptionally lacey, with brocade, complex fabric patterns or an ample amount of belts generally speaking it's going to cost you extra. This doesn't mean all clothing with cost you extra, just if you want something extremely detailed.

Reference: The lack of reference can cost a slight addition in price. If I'm expected to design a character for a lengthy description it's a little more challenging that looking off of references drawn by you or others. Providing me with an image of someone else character saying your character looks vaguely like that doesn't count as reference.

---

Important Information

I currently only accept payment through Paypal.


I retain the rights to the image I created, and have the right to upload it to my gallery or website.

I can reserve the right to refuse service for any reason. If I am in the process of completing your work, I will refund the amount that hasn't been completed. For example if I've completed the sketch for a Quick digital work, you will be refunded the remaining amount.
---

How to Order

I prefer communication through email, as it's easier for me to sort and sometimes my computer has issues with Deviantart loading. Through email I can contact you from anywhere at any time. However, feel free to drop me a line through the message system.

The information I need for your commission is below, you can go to my website and use the form if you like. business.projectnos.net/emailf…


Name:
Email:
Medium:
(Quick Digital, Traditional Sketch, etc)
Size: (A4, 8.5x11, 9x12 depending on the order)
Description: (Reference pictures, photos, etc go here)
Comments: (Any additional requests? Information you want to share?)

----

Confirmation and Payment

Once I've received your request I will send you an email giving you the official price or asking for more details about your request. Once everything is confirmed, I will send you a payment request via Paypal or you can choose to transfer the money to my account, which I will provide. Once payment is confirmed, the art process begins. If your order is exceptionally large or expensive we can discuss payment methods.

For works that are not just sketches I ask for approval of a sketch before I complete the work. This ensures that you get what you want, and there are no communication errors. For complex works you will also receive periodic work in progress updates, these are normally divided into stages of rough flat color, refinement and additions of detail.

I provide a web friendly image, a 300dpi jpg (or png if you prefer) and if you are getting a hard copy of your work I'll ship that off in the mail.

Feel free to email me at gnonnewitz@gmail.com if you have any questions, multiple orders, and so forth.
