If you haven’t yet browsed through our galleries, they can give you some ideas for getting your own original art created, as well as showcase just a few of the things we’re capable of. Basically, if you can dream it, we can do it.
We’ve developed our own Creation Guide to start this imaginative process. The Creation Guide is a form that asks you to think through how you’d like your idea to look, to help us best show your imagination.
First to consider are the options for your distinctive piece… Let’s say you were interested in having a character from a game you played or story you wrote illustrated. How far do you want your vision of that character to go? We have 4 stages or, Levels, that we use as a basis for our time and your cost.
Here is what you’ll select from:
I. ART LEVELS
BASIC
A custom made pencil sketch, sent to you in a high resolution, PDF file and one round of any changes to get things right for only $25.
EXPERT
One of a kind pencil design with shading, two total rounds of any changes to make sure you’re happy, and the pencil sketch from the process is added as a bonus for an affordable $50.
MASTER
A professional model, chock full of details and highlights, three total rounds of any changes to ensure you’re delighted, the pencil sketch and the shading are also included for a very reasonable $75.
IMMORTAL
An unique pencil shading with plenty of features and aspects, a color overlay (literally coats or layers of digital paint over the final drawing) is added, four total rounds of any changes to make sure it is perfect, and includes a pencil sketch, shaded drawing, and a professional model for a worthwhile $150.
II. BACKGROUNDS
WHITE/None
Here we have the portrait by herself. This format is suitable for printing on to clothing or those wanting a clean look, with the emphasis focused on the character. It is also the default background for all levels (except IMMORTAL*).
COLORED
*All IMMORTAL images come included with an appropriately colored backdrop free of charge. The finished work is ready to be printed, framed, and placed where you can best enjoy it. This is not a custom background, but rather one we design for you. Other Levels can have this for an additional $5 to their cost.
Custom Background Options —
And finally, the piece de resistance: you have us create your choice of a background, which will totally enhance the figure(s). Surely this is an incredible way to make great art even better.
+ $10 for a BASIC Level Custom Background
+ $20 for a EXPERT Level Custom Background
+ $30 for a MASTER Level Custom Backgrounds
+ $75 for a IMMORTAL Level Custom Background
Yes, you can mix and match different Levels when you select a background, so you could have a MASTER Level commission with a BASIC Level backdrop. Or even vice versa.
III. What’s Next?
Alright, so you’ve chosen both the Level and what Background you want. Now it’s time to send the necessary funds for your commission so we can begin. Simply go to the Custom Character Portrait product in our shop, fill out the creation guide form and then complete your purchase. Payments are processed via PayPal. After you have paid for your commission we can commence. This is the exciting part…
IV. PROCESS
We will use what you’ve provided us in the Creation Guide to begin, sending you a periodic updates via e-mail as your artworks starts to come together. We’ll go from there, updates coming from our end with you replying with any comments, which we’ll then use to make revisions according to your wishes. Each piece involves approximately 1 week per Level, with custom backgrounds adding an additional week to the time.
We want you to be completely satisfied with your commission yet still be able to keep our pricing affordable. Each Level comes with a set number of times with which you can request changes (as described above in Section I).
Changes beyond this prescribed number cost $10 per round. The more detailed and specific you are with the Creation Guide, the fewer changes may be needed. And, the faster you’ll receive your finished art!
V. CONCLUSION
