Complex Characters and Vehicles
**Price of commission may increase depending on level of detail for each character. Please contact me for a quote.

Artistic Liberty
Please note, fine art pieces are more free-form than character illustration commissions, so I will need to take more artistic liberty when it comes to specifications. However, you will still see the sketch for approval before I begin painting or inking.

​Completion Time
Fine art pieces take much longer to complete than character illustrations. Please expect at least a 2 month wait on Acrylics and Mixed Media paintings, as well as marker "pop outs". Due to the lengthy drying time of Oils, please expect at least a six month wait.
