Commissions [1 SLOT OPEN]

Journal Entry: Thu Feb 10, 2011, 3:34 PM
Shop / Portfolio / Blog / FAQ / LiveJournal
Requests: CLOSED / Trades: NOTE ME / Commissions: OPEN!

:star: I accept donations for art supplies! :star:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Contacts:
E-mail: zimmay@fourthewin.org
Instant Message: Note me and ask.
***Unless you know me personally or wish to discuss commissions, please do not contact me though instant message. I try to keep it for personal use only.



Programs:
Photoshop CS2
Intuos4 (6x8'')

Media:
Bristol board (300 grade and up)
0.5 mechanical pencil
Copic liners
Copic markers
White ink

My work is almost always a combination of traditional and digital media. I prefer penciling and inking by hand, then adding color digitally. Almost everything in my gallery is drawn in this way.

I Will NOT Draw:
:bulletred: Fetish art of any kind.
:bulletred: Pornography or excessive frontal nudity. Classical, tasteful nudes are fine. No fanart nudes.
:bulletred: Mecha/Anthro/Furry. Things like animal ears, tails, mer-people, and wings are fine.
:bulletred: I will NOT develop characters. Please do not commission me without a visual reference. Huge, detailed descriptions of your character will be turned down.
:bulletred: I will not draw fanart of pairings I dislike. If you don't know what those pairings are, all you have to do is ask. I.E. - I'm pretty much open to any Avatar pairing but Zutara.
Lastly, I reserve the right to refuse your request for any reason, as well as the right to withhold that reason from you.

All commissions are done at 300 to 600 DPI depending on complexity, and will be of printable quality. I will not mail you prints, but I will e-mail you the full, print-size, high-resolution version of your commission, as well as a web-sized version. I may sign the image, but I will never watermark your personal copy. If you order a copic marker commission, I will mail the original to you, though will ask you to cover shipping costs.

The prices beside each type of commission below are approximate, and are based on how much time I need in order to complete each one. Depending on complexity, I may charge more. All prices are in USD.

If there is a deadline you would like me to meet, please tell me at the beginning of the commissioning process, and make sure you start that process at least one month in advance.



SKETCHES
All sketches are $20.oo. Please indicate how much of the character you would like drawn, (bust, half-body, or full).
Add $10.oo per additional character.
Add $10.oo for flat digital colors.
Adding colored pencil is free.

Sample work: [X] [X] [X]

ILLUSTRATIONS
Illustrations typically mean any drawing with composition, dynamic poses, complex backgrounds, dramatic lighting, perspective, etc. For illustrations, please note or e-mail me your request, and we will discuss your commission separately either through notes, e-mail, or instant message.

FREELANCE AND WORK FOR HIRE
I am always looking for freelance and contract work, especially for comics and illustration. Please drop me a note or e-mail zimmay@fourthewin.org if interested.


Wondering what the difference between cell-shading, soft-shading, and copic markers is? Please see the image below for examples of each:

I AM ONLY ACCEPTING PAYMENTS MADE THROUGH PAYPAL. No checks, no cash, no money orders, NO EXCEPTIONS!

Process:
- Send me an e-mail (zimmay@fourthewin.org) or a note here on DeviantART with the form below, and please provide with as many visual references as possible.
- I will respond within three days with a yes or no to your request. I will include a price and Paypal information in my response.
- If you don't agree with the price, then the commission will be canceled. If you do agree, please pay half upfront. I will not begin your commission until you have paid half.
- Wait patiently. I may send you web-size sketches and WIP images via e-mail or DeviantART notes as I work on your commission.
- When I am finished, I will send you a web-sized, watermarked version of your commission, and will ask for the other half of the payment.
- Once the full payment has been received, I will e-mail you the print-sized artwork and remove the watermark from the web-sized version.
***Please keep in mind that I am usually quite busy, and that may take a month or more to finish your commission.



If you've read everything above and are ready to order, please take a moment to fill out this form so I can get a better understanding of what you would like me to draw.

Commissions are on a first-come-first-served basis and will be closed as soon as all slots are filled. I will not take reservations and I will not create a waiting list. One artwork per slot, not one commissioner.

There are [1] slots currently open:
1. *finni
2. ~aanq
3. ~Proforce
4. *StarDragon77
5. -

Art Trades: ...I swear I will do these someday. T__T;;;
1. *vert-is-ninja done!
2. ~Skwinky
3. *Ecthelian



The finished image is for you and you only. This means making wallpapers, icons, avatars, web graphics, etc. This does not mean you can mass print, sell, resell, or make money off it in any way. As the artist, I still hold rights to the image. I reserve the right to post your commission in any of my online art galleries, and the right to sell prints of your commission at conventions. I will give you credit for the character design if it is yours. If you want to post the image online, I humbly request some form of credit for creating the artwork.

If you have read all of the above and agree to all the terms - THANK YOU for bearing with me. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to ask!



-Zimmay

PS: I accept TIPS. :heart:

Oh I would totally request something zimmay.
But unfortunately I can only commish one at a time per paycheck.
I did see the one you sent to finni, though we were yelling at her to go to sleep at the time.
That one you did was really cute~
Um...I would totally want to reserve a spot for a future commission but I don't know how long it would take me due to a bunch of other things I have to take care of.
If it were possible to have a wait list, then that would be great.
I'll try to ask you when I have funding...I always support artists to the best of my ability. =)
So hope I can get a slot some time soon~
