Hello! Public commissions are currently limited due to restructuring. I am currently open to remote contract/freelance work or in-person work in the United States. Please reach out with information on how to work with you! You may always email me at asterartwork@gmail.com about commissions or for any other inquiries.

Public Commissions are sometimes available through my Kofi page! They are open/closed separately from contract work.

estimated $200 minimum (e.g., portrait or simple style), $700 average full-body character illustration, and $1000+ scenic full-body illustrations
integrating backgrounds, props, additional characters/figures can add to the final rate decision.
turnaround depends on workload; ideal is 1 month, average is 3 months.
Custom sizing (A4, 4k, poster), 300 DPI. Pricing depends on character crop, detail, background, and deadlines. Multiple file formats, print proofs, and resizes are provided if asked. I usually default to A4 sizing.

8 hr minimum, 30hr average, 60hr max – estimated beforehand
same fees as digital paintings with added fee for materials (small materials fee + flat fee for the cost of the canvas used if large enough).
Must be standard size ratios (9×12, 18×24, 24×32, etc.), stretched (raised) canvas or canvas board for small sizes
It is best to approach with an example of my previous traditional work that spoke to you.
Can only be shipped/transported in the continental US.

Available to license existing work or create book/album covers (digital or traditional media) or other commercial work, such as merchandise (e.g. shirt designs) or digital assets.

Adding characters and backgrounds adds to the final calculated price, especially for couples or groups of 2+, but rates vary by detail and style.
Royalties or charges for commercial use must be negotiated before work begins. I am able to review contract/freelance terms outside of my own terms provided here.
For any order by private individuals amounting to above 600 USD, financing may be available in up to 3 installments (preliminary, halfway, and final draft).
Specialty, simple commissions are on my Kofi. A Google form is available when regular illustration/painting slots are open to the public. Otherwise, please email me at asterartwork[@]gmail[.]com.

Things I Won’t Draw:

Explicit NSFW. Artistic nudity, suggestive, or sensuality may be fine on a case by case basis.
Mecha (some robots I will try out), furry (again, might try). I do not follow the popular styles for these genres.
anything I deem hateful, or random things I don’t want to do.

Payment & Procedure:

Unless a payment plan or alternate agreement is discussed, you will be sent a PayPal invoice of the full amount due after I have sketched the rough thumbnail(s) and have had it approved by you. I will not continue working on the art until the invoice is paid in full. Under a payment plan, I divide the total into halves or thirds and provide increments of progress. We may discuss terms privately via email.
Payment plans are available for any totals amounting to above 600 USD. These are implemented via PayPal invoices set to “partial payment allowed”. We will agree on a payment and progress schedule beforehand.
Your email will not be shared or used for any purpose other than sending the invoice(s) for payment and/or communicating the status of the artwork.
I will send periodic updates, sometimes with questions. Please be punctual with responses so I can keep going! You may ask me for an update at any time, guilt free.
Cryptocurrency/NFTs are strictly not accepted. You may pay in USD or another certified/mainstream national currency. No art of mine may be “minted” or integrated into blockchain platforms, even if the work is commissioned.

Refund Policy:

If you must cancel your commission, please tell me as soon as possible and preferably not after I send a preliminary or WIP. If you already paid and no progress was made, you will be refunded a majority (~90-100%). If I already made progress on the work, you will be partially refunded with an amount equivalent to the work not done. DO NOT charge back on PayPal before discussing cancellation.

Using, Posting, or Sharing Commissions:

I am likely to post commissions online myself, so you must tell me if you do not want it posted immediately (I will usually ask anyway). You may post your commissioned artwork on social media or wherever you like, just mention me somewhere!
I reserve the right to use commissioned art as examples of my work in portfolios (e.g. this website) unless otherwise agreed upon in NDA.
While I do not usually print commissions, I reserve the right to print commissioned artwork (such as on INPRNT) unless otherwise agreed upon.
You must disclose use of commissioned artwork for use in redistribution/commercial use/merchandise, as separate terms may need to be applied.
Usage of ANY of my art with blockchains/crypto/NFTs or AI training is strictly forbidden, and this applies to commissions as well.
