Thanks for visiting the commission section!

I'm catching up on work at the moment, but I'll back to accepting new requests as soon as the queue is clear. (You can check the status of the commission queue at the bottom of the home page.)

If you have any questions in the meantime, feel free to send me an e-mail!

Commission FAQs

What kind of artwork do you make?

I can draw your original characters, custom fan art of existing characters (from books, video games, movies, etc.), and of course anything to do with the True Magic comic.

Fantasy-themed art is my specialty, but if you'd like to see something of a different genre in my style, feel free to ask! As long as the subject is in good taste, chances are I'll be happy to draw it for you.

All images are digitally rendered and saved at a high resolution (300 DPI) so that you can print them.

You can see some sample art by visiting the Portfolio and Art Blog, or by clicking the thumbnails below.

How much does it cost?

These are the base prices for a normal 8.5x11" illustration with one character and a simple background:

Sketch: $40 USD (+$20 per extra character)	B&W Ink: $70 USD (+$30 per extra character)	Full Color: $100 USD (+$40 per extra character)

(Note: To keep things simple when estimating price, just consider a detailed background to be an additional character.)

Depending on the size and complexity of the project, I might charge a little more or a little less. I work by the project, not by the hour — so once we agree on a price, it's set!

All payments are processed through PayPal. When I accept your commission, I'll ask for a $40 deposit up front. For a sketch, that's the full price; for inked or colored art, the rest of the fee is due when you approve the preliminary sketch. From there, I'll finish the image and deliver it to you ASAP.

Want to collaborate?

Are you confident in your own artistic skills, but short on time? If you have your own lineart or a clean sketch, I'll be happy to ink and/or color it for you for half of the regular inked or colored commission price.

Want to conspire?

If you'd like to give your favorite writer or artist the gift of fan art, without having to draw it yourself, I'll be glad to help! I can even e-mail the artwork to the recipient if you'd like to remain anonymous.

How may I use the artwork?

You're welcome to display your commission on your personal site or blog, as long as you provide credit and a link back to true-magic.com. While all characters belong to their original creators, as the artist I retain full distribution rights to the images I draw. Please ask and obtain my written consent if you want to publish or distribute your commission with a different arrangement.
