pricing
My work illustrates an animal's uncontaminated innocence and goes beyond just creating an accurate likeness from a photograph. Working with the highest quality mediums, I will make a portrait that will last a lifetime.
A deposit of 50% is required to secure your booking and use for the supply and material used in the creation of the artwork. The rest of the amount is payable upon completion.
Portrait
A full-body portrait will cost an additional 30%. (Full body portrait will only be available for sizes 8”x 10” and above) Each additional subject added to the artwork will cost an extra 50% increase in the base price based on the size and type of portrait chosen. (Additional subjects are only available in sizes 11"x 14" and above.)
background
As for the background, you can either keep it as clear white or choose a colored backdrop. You can also request an illustrative backdrop. If you opt for an illustrative backdrop, the price of the portrait will increase by 15% based on the base price.

Card
Each card will be unique and one-of-a-kind. All cards are collectible art pieces illustrated in traditional playing card sizes of 2.5”x 3.5”. They will be created using the same materials as my portrait work. I will request 3 or more photos for references like my portrait commissions. However, unlike my portrait work, the design and color palette will remain a surprise until the card is completed.

style
For the style, you have a choice between realism and a stylized portrait. My stylized portrait is based on my illustration style which uses many elements such as geometric and strong shapes. While my realism works are more detailed, you would be required to provide at least one much higher quality reference and expect a slightly longer time frame due to the number of details.
Rush and revisions
Each artwork comes with one revision. You have one free adjustment for the portrait to fit your vision of your pet. Each additional revision will cost an additional 10% revision fee.
If you need the artwork done within a short time, you can pay an additional 30% rush fee to jump past every other commission on the line. If you need the portrait within a minuscule period, you may pay an additional 50% rush fee, which will cover jumping through the line and speeding up the work process. Depends on the size. Any small portrait will be done within one to two days. Medium-size portraits will be done within two to three days. Large illustrations will only take a maximum of 5 days.
