So you've
browsed the gallery and decided that you must have your very own character
portrait? Here's how you can have your elf/dwarf/human/halfling/furry/(fill-in-your-character-type)
immortalized in full color (or black and white)...
Ordering a Portrait
1. Take
a look at the gallery to decide what sort of portrait you would
like--Pencil, digitally colored or both--then take a look at the pricing
and delivery options below.
2.
Fill out the form as completely as possible (If your half-elf character
has a tattoo of a wyvern on his left forearm that you would REALLY like
to see in the portrait, let me know! The same goes for jewelry, hair
styles, etc.) and send it in.
3. Don't
forget your email address! The snail mail address is optional unless
you want the original drawing mailed to you, but I use the email address
to confirm the request, deliver digital files, and communicate with
you regarding any changes/additions you might want to make after the
rough sketch is posted on the Works in Progress page.
4. I
will confirm via email that I have received your request within
36 hours under most circumstances. If you have thought of anything else
you might like to add to your character, feel free to do so at this
time.
5. A
small b/w pencilled preview sketch will be posted on my site in
the Work in Progress gallery within a week. I generally post new drawings
on Saturdays.
6. Request
changes or approve the sketch via email, and I will either make
the changes you want, or finish up the drawing, depending on what you
decide. I'm pretty open-minded about changes, so don't be afraid to
speak up. This is, after all, a little piece of you we're creating.
*grin*
7. After
everyone is happy/ecstatic/quite pleased with the preview, I will
send the portrait to you according to your chosen delivery method. (Turnover
on digital files is immediate; Allow anywhere from 3 days to a week
and half for mailed portraits to arrive.)
8. Payment
is by check, money order, or credit card. No work will commence
on your portrait until payment is received. (I hate to do this, but
I've had too many problems in the past...) A link to more detailed payment
information will be given to you once your order is submitted.
9. A
note on copyright: Unless specific arrangements are made, I retain
full rights to all commissioned portraits and art, including the right
to display digital and physical copies of the work on my various websites
and galleries for self-promotion. The client commissioning the work
is granted the right to print physical copies of the digital file for
their own, non-profit and private use. The client is further granted
permission to use their portrait on their own web sites, chats, or games
(as a depiction of their in-game persona) as long as the usage is non-profit.
The names, descriptions, and histories of all characters commissioned
remain the intellectual property of the client.
