Opening Commissions!

I think it's about that time...

So, I'm gonna start taking commissions as a means to push the envelope in terms of keeping me drawing at all times and helping broaden my portfolio by way of you good people giving me ideas to create for you.  

-- But Alex, how's it work?

Simple! You note me your commission request, and I agree or disagree to it (most likely with suggestions on how I could improve it), and we make sweet, sweet arts together!  

-- How do I know it will be awesome?

Take a look at my gallery!  If you like the stuff you see, chances are you're gonna like the end result of your commission!  Also, feel free to point out a specific piece you like when informing me in what style you'd like to see your end result! (Within reason of course, I'm not trying to backtrack to high school work here )

-- So what kind of work can I ask for?

Hmm.  Well, I suppose I should start out slow and get a bit of small time work under my feet before I know how to properly price full scale pages with text and backgrounds and such, so let's keep it simple: Characters only, for the time being, with the potential to have text if you are interested in, say, a character biography page!  Or if you want a cool action pose of your favorite hero/villain, or perhaps just a simple bust or pinup of something sexy...I'm easy like Sun-Dee Mornin'!

-- I like it! Simple and fun! How much do you charge?

Excellent Question!  Prices shall be as follows!

Again, let's be clear and say that this is, at the moment, a characters-only deal.  if you would like to see something other than white behind them, let me know in the Note, and we will sort out the details there!

-- Is there anything you won't draw?

At the moment, I'm open to suggestions of all shapes and sizes, though I will say right now, I don't do anthro's very well.  There are plenty of artists who excel at them anyway, so let's shoot for at least near-humans, okay?  Also, while I am not opposed to mature themes (blood, sex, etc.), I am trying to maintain a profile of professionalism in all genres of the art world, and I don't want to be pigeonholed as "That guy who just draws __________."  Other than that, send me your ideas and see what happens!  you never know what I will and won't do unless you ask! (Also, I'm not opposed to drawing multiple characters doing an activity, as long as it doesn't involve a background for now!)

-- Sounds simple enough!  Any chance I can see an example of the end results for each option?

An excellent idea!  I'll make a mockup and post it soon, but feel free to start sending notes if you have ideas beforehand!

That about covers everything, I guess.   Hope to hear from you all soon!
