It's rare that I update my journal but I’ve been getting a lot of inquiries lately concerning commissions. So to make things easier, I am posting notes here to answer some of the general questions.

Price quotes on BLACK AND WHITE artwork

Commissions start from $50 for single character illustrations that are already inked with simple backgrounds.

Complex pieces that involves specific scenarios, backgrounds and multiple characters starts at $100

Price quotes on COLORED artwork:

Single character illustrations with simple backgrounds starts at $100, Complex pieces range from $150 and above. Two characters are around $150 to 200.

Multiple hero characters begin at $300 and will never exceed 350. It’s usually three to five characters. (There’s only so much one can put on an 11x17 artwork before each character gets too small.)

I send layouts for approval before doing tight pencils or inking and I send copies of the work in progress before proceeding to other steps like coloring.

These quotes are not for artwork intended for commercial use.

Payments:

50% down payment and the remaining balance paid before I send the high resolution files.

I accept Paypal via Xoom.com (Like everyone else in the region, it’s the only way right now to process Paypal payments)
Western Union
Moneygram
Direct Bank Transfers

Shipping:
Most do not ask for the inked or penciled originals, but in cases that they want the artwork. Shipping cost is shouldered by the buyer.

Turnaround time:

Usually one to two weeks depending on the detail of the artwork and depending on communication with the buyer.

If the illustration will take longer than that for whatever reason I let the buyer know.

I don’t do these commissions by the bulk. I do everything to give the best that I can give on each one so I can say I am proud of the work and it’s worth printing and be hanged on the wall.

Hope this helps anyone who's interested.
