Character Commission options

Bust (line art only) — $30

My most cost effective and time efficient option! This portrait is everything from the chest up. Clean, crisp line work out the wazoo.

Bust (Full Color) — $60

If you feel like forking over double the price of the first option, you’ll get an even lovelier, full color headshot of your character!

portrait (line art only) — $90

All of the detail with none of the color! Just kidding, I will add color to the lines to emphasize different parts of the portrait.

portrait (Full Color) — $180

The full shebang! Lines! Color! Textures! Magic!

FAQs

For most of my work, turn around time is between 1-2 weeks.
The fastest option is the Bust - Line Art Only. Depending on how many details there are, I could potentially turn those around in a few days. The Portrait - Full Color option takes the longest and will be in the two week range.
Here’s how this shindig runs:
You’ll fill out my character creation form down below.
I’ll look over your character’s details and schedule a phone conversation with you. We’ll go over everything in detail. If there’s anything you’d like that falls outside the typical scope of a project (i.e. companion animal), we’ll discuss details/pricing at this point.
If we’re in agreement about the project, you’ll officially commit and book me by paying 50% of the project’s cost up front.
Upon receipt of your deposit, I’ll begin my research and sketches. There’s several stages to the process, which you’ll be able to give feedback and request edits for each one as we progress along.
The balance for your project is due prior to my sending you the final image files.
Yep! Adding an animal to your character portrait is an additional cost. Once I know the animal and what type of commission you’re interested in (line art vs full color), I can get you the pricing for that.
Group portraits are badass and I am up for the challenge! Please contact me below and we can talk about scope, pricing, and timelines for it.
There’s so many playable species now, which is very exciting! I feel like I’ve covered the most popular ones on my list. If your character species is not on the list, go ahead and contact me so I can see if it’s something I can make for you.
That’s awesome! The typical High Fantasy, D&D campaign setting is my bread and butter, but I’d love to design characters from other settings. My character creation form is geared towards D&D, but most of the questions should still cover what’s needed for me to make any character.

Your Name

First Name

Last Name

Character Commission Type

Please choose one

Character's Name

Character's Age

Keep it to an age range like teenager, 30's, 50's, etc. Some of the fantasy races are very long lived, so it's easier to know what they physically present as rather than a specific number.

Character's Species

Below are the fantasy species that I will create.

Sub Species/Mixed Species

Here's where you can write in more specifics about your character's species. For example, your elf character is a wood or high elf, or your mixed species character is half elf, half orc.

Character's Race

If you/your character are BIPOC, I want to represent them accurately!

Character's Skin/Scale/Fur Color

Character's Body Type

Thick? Curvy? Skinny? Fit? Muscular? Beer belly? You get the idea.

Character's Gender

Let me know how your character presents themselves.

Character's Class/Multiclass

Character's Eyes

This could be as simple as "they have blue eyes," or as detailed as, "they have blue eyes, but the left eye's pupil shines like opal and the skin surrounding it is shriveled and diseased."

Character's Hair

Please include hair color, length, texture, and if they wear it a particular way.

Jewelry

Can be as simple as, "they wear a lot of rings," or as detailed as, "they wear a sigil to [deity] and the symbol is [details]."

Distinguishing Marks or Features

Here's where you'd add any scars, tattoos, missing limbs, etc.

Weapon(s)

What kind of weapon(s) would you like featured with your character and describe any particular details if it has any.

Equipment

List any particular equipment you'd like featured as part of your character's design. These items are usually ones that can be worn on the back, worn on a belt, or poking out of a bag. Think books, bottles, wands, instruments, tools, etc.

Clothing/Armor

List any particular armor pieces or articles of clothing that are noteworthy for your character. Could be as simple as, "they wear scale mail," or as detailed as, "they have a magical red bycocket hat with a white feather."

Character's Personality

This could be a list of adjectives, and/or specifics on what expression/pose you'd like them to have.

Character's Background

I'm looking for details that specifically effect your characters appearance. Are they a noble? A sailor? Are they from a town in the desert? Is your campaign even a high fantasy setting? Details like these all effect the kind of references I pull for your character's design.

Do you have any references; mood boards, facial references, color palettes?

Regardless of your answer, we'll go over these things together. I just want to get an idea of what I'll be working with before we start.

Yes

Anything else that you'd like included that I didn't already ask?
