Picklejuice's
Commission Information

I'm always open for a commission. Your ideas are seeds I love to drench with life.

Even with over 30 years drawing experience, I still try to keep things new and different. Take a look. If you like what you see but don't see your specific idea, drop me a line.

CURRENT STATUS: Unemployed! (2009.10.31)

That means: wait times are quick! My full time job is looking for another job, but there's only so much you can do before you sit back and just draw.

The question is, will I draw your stuff or mine? Email me: picklejuice_13@yahoo.com.

 

What I will do:

*All shiny surface art is priced as color.

Examples to get your mind going:
Unicorns, dragons, elves, mermaids, centaurs, satyrs, faeries, vampires, catgirl, cow-taur, skunk, werewolf
Straight, yaoi (male-male), yuri (female-female), herm, multiple partner romace

 

What I won't do:

Other considerations:

    - Originals included: X2 price, or +$20 whichever is cheaper. Includes shipping.
    - Backgrounds: Negotiable. If the background is constant, you pay for it once, like an extra pic.
    - Hardcopy: Yes or no. If yes, I make it on standard paper-on-super-crack Bristol. Otherwise, I do it on scratch paper and scan/photocopy it into submission.
    - Go Wild or Scripted: I enjoy taking artistic license with the initial description and going wild, but I'm equally happy doing a scripted page by page tf.

    - Posting/use: There are 3 options:
        1. Private (No one but you and I will know about the commission),
        2. Public (I can post it on online galleries and in portfolios),
        3. Public selling (I try to sell the commission after the fact to other peoplle.)
    If you wish to go with one of the 2 public options, let me know if you want your name attached to the art or not.

Then I get to play.


Payment:

I really, really, REALLY want to stress this: 1/2 up front, 1/2 when done. 1/2 up front tells me you're committed. 1/2 at the end tells you I'M committed. If you're sending by snail mail, I'll throw in any extra rough sketches I make as payment for the extra postage.

Art Trades:

Sure. But, as I may have paying commissions or other important money related projects, I may have to just say no. Email me before making art to trade for. Otherwise, thanks for the very kind gift art! Flattery will get you everywhere!

Gift art details: Go ahead and draw Toby Houndin or Joe Subject from my Office Bitch and Subject To Change webcomics. I also have Iron Wolf and Sonix Fox from my Iron Wolf series. Gotta post that some day... Um. I'm a sloth, and as such I hang upside down from things, smile and slash things with my big sharp tree climbing claws. I wear a black Portable Shirt from which I may pull any object I wish. Over that I wear a hawaiian tourist shirt, and NOPANTS. ^.^ Just like D*nald D*ck!

And, as always, transform.

However, you will be credited for the character on the print, and your characters will remained copyrighted to you. If this is a problem, please let me know!
