Commission Rule
Rules of Commission:
1. Don't request commission if you are really tight in money because I don't want anyone end up jeopardizing my paypal and get you blacklisted.
2. Avoid requesting commission that requires imitating other people's style. Seriously, don't do that.
3. Once the sketch has been approved, pay the first half of the commission and then the rest of the half after the commission is done. Only low-res preview of the finished piece will be given if the rest of the half is not paid yet.
4. Revision limit is 3. Additional revision will cost 5$ each (10 to 20$ for more significant one). After the sketch and base color are approved, the artwork will proceed to be completed totally. No revision is entertained after the sketch is approved.
5. Commercialized works will cost twice. If a client is found to be hiding the fact that he/she is using it for commercial purpose (e.g. Market it to patreon, print to sell it, etc) intentionally, they will be blacklisted.
6. Any client that doesn't respond to replies in commission process within 1 week will have their commission ended. Any payment that has been done will not be refunded.
7. All payment will be done in USD and to paypal/wise (alternatively ko-fi if there is no other option).

Character Illustration with Background
This commission, unlike the first one has background of its own. Pricing of the characters still follow the first one. Background pricing starts at 40$ and it will increase depending on how detailed, complex, complicated, difficult or refined it is.
Example of Calculation for example beside:
Two characters hiking in the morning.
2 Characters (100 + 80) + Background (60) + Additional Cost (0-60) = 240 ~ 300$.
Additional details will increase the cost depending on its difficulty. Cost decrease may occur if the amount of work is not a lot.
Character with Simple Background
This commission is one character with simple background. Price may increase depending on how detailed the character is.
This type is divide into three variations:
-
Bust up (35$/chara)
-
Waist up (75$/chara)
Additional chara costs another 60$/each -
Fullbody (100$/chara)
Additional chara costs another 80$/each
​
​
Additional details will increase the cost depending on its difficulty. Cost decrease may occur if the amount of work is not a lot.
Stuff like detailed accessories, weapons and clothing will have additional cost.
Character Design
This is a character designing commission. Starting price would be 300$ and it will increase depending on difficulty.
You will have 4 revisions for sketch phase and 4 revisions for base color.
There will be additional costs for any other stuff you want to add. Different angle of pose, additional headshots for expression, costume splitting, etc.
For storytelling stuff
This is for storytelling section of commission. It covers both manga and webtoon format.
You will have to provide the story of your own, namely at very least, rough doodles of your own story paneled yourself. Steps are as following:
-
Provide the rough doodles of your story
-
I will draw your doodles into my own rough sketches. After that, we will be doing revisions of the layout (max: 3 times)
-
The second you have approved it, I will proceed on finishing at least 90% of it and have you looked at it in low resolution and revised it from there (max: 2 times)
-
Once we have revised everything, we will try to put speech bubbles around, wording and placement can be revised (max: 2 times)
-
Finally then, I will try to see if there is anything need fixing on my own. If there isn't, it's considered done and proceed with payment.
As for the pricing, It can be quite volatile depending on how detailed of the comic you want them to be (Including if you want the characters to be drawn more detailed or have backgrounds no background). However, I will provide base price for every type as point of reference.
Sketch Manga type: 100$/page
​
Example 1 and 2 are sketch manga type. It's a common style I used to draw comics. Takes 2 or 3 days for just one page. It contains around 4 to 7 panels (can be more but not recommended). It will have no toning just black and white and sometimes so color to add distinction.
​
Toned Manga type: 120$/page (not recommended)
​
Example 3 is toned type. It's a style that I used only in competition. I don't really recommend this style despite having tones like usual mangas are but i am just stating it here just to inform this type exist.
Colored Manga type: 150$/page
​
Example 4 is colored manga type. They are sketch manga type but with color.
​
Webtoon type: 25$/panel
​
It's a self explanatory type, but for those who don't know it's basically comic on one long page (take colored manga type but make it into one long page). I don't have a new example for this since the last time I made one is 2019 and it has been discontinued. I am presenting this option because the paneling (lay out of story) is much simpler in this format. The color will be simple shade and lighting if necessary.
​
Factors that might increase the price:
​
-
Adding simple background
-
Adding detailed background
-
Too many characters crammed into a single panel
-
Wants detailed shading
-
Detailed character designs
-
No existing character sheets to work on
-
No existing rough story layouts to go on
​
Factors that might decrease the price:
​
-
The character design is simplified
-
Workload being less demanding than expected
​
Recommended help:
​
-
Provide character sheets if you have them
-
Provide your own rough story layouts
