FAQ
May I get your art tattooed?
Only if you A) have commissioned me for the desired design to be tattooed and/or B) I am fairly compensated in some way (such as buying some merch from my store, donating a sum to my Ko-Fi etc) and I am credited in any photos you post. I require explicit and/or written permission to have my art tattooed and I do not allow tattoo parlors permission to use my artwork as flash. Please contact me for more information.
What are your commission rates?
You can check my commission information here. Pricing is based on subject matter + level of detail/intricacy + medium + size etc. I take 50% payment upfront to start (this is non-refundable) and the remaining 50% once the art is finished. I do give free quotes and don't charge fees for corrections or for restarts. My inked artwork typically runs expectedly more than my penciled art. My Ko-Fi has a posted price guide exclusively directed at my Ko-Fi patrons on the site regarding sketches that you can read more about here. Keep in mind my Ko-Fi guide should not be regarded as all-encompassing.
Can I have my commission mailed to me?
Yes! I offer Free shipping to US buyers if their commissioned art is on paper and is smaller than 18" x 24" (medium sized poster). I place a shipping charge on any commission order above that size when mailing completed artwork. If you are an international buyer, you must cover the cost (Sorry about that, I don't control postal service prices). If you want your art mailed, I include tracking plus all the original draft sketches with the package. I am not responsible for stolen, lost or damaged pieces regarding mail delivery. If there's a problem- Shoot me a message and I'll do my best to work something out for you.
Can we do an Art Trade?
While I enjoy a good ole' fashioned art trade, I reserve Art Trades for my friends as well as followers/mutuals on my Art Fight page.
What's your art process like if I commission you?
While completion times vary, I usually finish most standard full inked pieces within 2-3 weeks on an average workload, Less if done in pencil. One of my strong suits I'm known and praised for is forward and clear communication skills with clients! I give ample progress reports with photos accompanying updates, most of the time unprompted. I have several WIP examples that showcase my process and artwork with original photos that you can view here in my Gallery tab.
​
What tools do you use?
Pencils, ink (India Ink), paint brushes, pens (Sakura Microns & Pigma brush tips), acrylic paints, watercolors, erasers, charcoal, Heavyweight Canson paper & Mixed Media paper to name a few.
Do you do any digital artwork?
While I do have digital experience, no. I am a traditional artist and that is my trade as well as preference- all of my artwork offered and featured is traditional and made with a variety of traditional materials listed above. To me, nothing beats pencil/ink & paper : ) However, I may digitally correct some mistakes after my artwork is finished if needed (such as ink spills, paper stress and rogue lines) and alter things like contrast and brightness.
Why do you do monochromatic artwork?
Simply put- It's an intentional choice. I love it and want to continue doing it, but this does not mean I dislike color or find it inferior. I find monochromatic artwork stunning and striking in a plethora of ways and I've made the decision to show this variety of artwork isn't extinct or irrelevant. I am quite thankful to have grown a name for myself with it and I've pleasantly found I stand out making art with limited color palettes, especially since I do a lot of horror + dark fantasy artwork. It's also nice I've had comments from visually impaired people that my art doesn't offer much eye strain.
Do you do any colored artwork?
It depends even if I have coloring experience in most mediums. I may (infrequently) color some of my own personal + private artwork, or even collaborate with a friend to color my lines, but I don't typically offer color to clients (unless it's a particular circumstance like painting a wall mural, miniature figure or a mailbox). I allow my artwork to be colored by their intended owners (such as my patrons, friends or art trading recipients) for personal use and not commercially or by unintended users.
What's the best place to keep up with you for updates?
Currently- I don't have social media exclusively for posting my artwork consistently or frequently but you're welcome to check this page and follow me on all you see there! I'm more gregarious than people expect and if we are friends and/or mutuals- please feel free to reach out and chat with me. You may also email me anytime with questions pertaining to my artwork, store, and commission information.
