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

This additional price exists because the complexity of some characters and vehicles in general take more time, and in some cases it takes the time of making another full commission. If you are not sure if your character applies, please email me. 

​Some examples of things that would incur this additional price: Complex wings, detailed markings (excluding natural spots or stripes), multiple limbs, excessive exact markings/tattoos, robotics/cybernetics, etc.

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.

Shipping
Shipping is NOT included in the price as these may be very large packages. I will contact you to discuss shipping options and costs upon completion of your commission.
