Description
In my design commissions, I offer to design a character for you from scratch based on descriptions, inspirations or moodboard images; from full character sheets to simple icons.
The commission can be used as a reference image for your OCs, any TTRPG playable or non-playable character, and can contain any artstyle or size I have on my main commission page! If you intend to post/share it anywhere online, please credit me for both art and design.
Do note that I will not be drawing detailed backgrounds for character reference-styled comms. If you'd like a more scenic commission featuring your design, you'd have to commission it individually.
Types of design commissions
*There are no formats for any of the design types, so if you have a particular layout in mind please let me know.- Character reference page: Typically a piece containing a character's fullbody back and front view, as well as some props/ outfit breakdowns and a bust-up of the face. If the character is colored, you can add a color palette for free. You can add, remove or modify the layout and content amount. The background will be a simple base color or transparent.- Scenic: A drawing of one or more characters (one of each) that can be of any finish (sketch, lineart, base, painted). As the name suggests, the character(s) will be in a detailed background of your choice. Note that I will require visual references for the landscape.- Concept art: Typically a collection of colored sketches, with a front and back view fullbody as well as a bust-up. You can add, remove or modify the layout and content amount. If the character is colored, you can add a color palette for free. The background will be a simple base color.- Custom: Add as many elements as you'd like, in any style and form. If you have any ideas for a pose in mind, please send any references and descriptions you have for them. I do not allow detailed backgrounds for this kind of commission-- the background will be simplified, abstract, or some base color+shapes. This can be as simple or as complex as you'd like
Process of commission
Commission can take any time between 5 days to 3 months, depending on the amount of content and changes you wish to request.
The content you request has to respect my Terms of service.In order to request a design commission, you will need to send me a message or mail containing a thorough description of your character's appearance as well as any references you have (eg. for an outfit, or a picture of the species for nonhuman characters). If you have precise references in mind for how you want something to look, mention it.For scenic commissions, I will need a pose description/reference in addition to the general appearance description, as well as a reference for the background or elements you wish to have in it. You can add multiple styles.I will not draw any heavily suggestive or NSFW design. I do, however, draw scars/blood/mild gore.Prices depend on the amount of elements and images:
Every character on the page will cost depending on the level of detail and my standard prices as seen here.
A simple prop can range from about $3 to $15.
A detailed prop can range from about $6 to $25.
Adding a color palette is free, but can only be requested for colored art.Order example
For a colored reference sheet that contains a full back+front view of a character (in main style) and a simple sword, the base price would be 32+32+4= $68.
Do note that this calculation isn't final, and prices may increase/decrease depending on level of detail.
Examples
My design commissions can consist of as many elements as you'd like; you can request a fullbody for the front and the back, add a color palette, props, close-ups, scenes, etc.Here are some layout examples:
