PRICING (Updated 30th of October, 2024)

CHARACTER PRICE REFERENCE

Check the prices below as reference to an approximate of your commission's costs!The base character prices you see will vary from a lower or higher cost depending on the culling or complexity of your artwork.
"Culling" will lower a character's price based on how some characters, background or props of the artwork blocks the view from them.
"Complexity" is how visually-occupying a character is.
More Explanation is on the bottom of the current page. These technicalities will vary the cost, so treat the prices here as some sort of guide than a flat price.The detail and additional fees are static percentages and will not change from the breakdown I will show after the initial sketch of a commission is approved.

LEGEND:
"=" means same as the previous/left entry.
"BC" means Base Character"Starts at" means the price starts at a specific amount, and has no limitations.INFORMATION REGARDING DETAIL AND ADDITIONAL FEES HERE:Complex Background
Simple backgrounds like solid colors or patterns are free.
Complex backgrounds are backgrounds that contains different shapes and things that have details to them. That means props and the environment.
NOTE: Silhouettes of characters counts as complex background instead of character pricing.
Information on Sequences & Variations and Animation below:No Noise
Noise is something I apply to ALL my rendered artworks.
It makes dithering easier on my part.Applying for "No Noise" makes a commission take longer to work with, hence an increase in price.
Half-Render
Half-render is a very different style from my 3/4th Render and Full Render, in that it doesn't contain dithered shading, and instead has cel-shading.
R18 Content
Any artworks that contain sexual actions. Nudity without sexual actions does not count.
Colored Sketch
Sketches of any style are applied flat colors (or minimal shading.)
Commercial Use
You hold all the rights of the artworks and I, the artist, will not disclose the art project's contents anywhere in the public indefinitely.

*What's the difference between Half Sketch, 3/4th Sketch, Full Sketch, 3/4th-Render, and Full-Render?
They all depend on the size of the pixels squared. The suffix "px" means pixel-squared.
Half Sketch is a lineart at 40-60px headsize per character.
3/4th Sketch is a lineart at 70-80px headsize per character.
Full Sketch is a lineart at 90-100px headsize per character.
Contrary to the name "Sketch", I actually sketch things like lineart and call it sketch. Sorry. You can't just sketch in a pixel art. It's impossible. And lineart is a very long word.
Half Render is colored & rendered artwork at 40-60px headsize per character.
3/4th-Render is a colored & rendered artwork at 70-80px headsize per character.
Full-Render is a colored & rendered artwork at 90-110px headsize per character.
What's the point of "Headsizes"?
I made this because there is a difference in difficulty when it comes to rendering characters at different headsizes per character. For example: Some characters will be far away from other characters, so they will be rendered differently. This pricing method is fairer when it comes to multiple characters at different distances.
(If a character is even smaller than 3/4th-render's 70-80px headsize, there will be a price reduction.)
Example of headsize beside this text. (or below in Mobile form.)======================NOTES ABOUT CULLING AND COMPLEXITY:I. Culling lowers price. Culling means when something is blocking something, so that thing behind is not drawn. That will lower the overall price of a character.
Examples of culling:
1.) A character's arm is behind another character's arm.
2.) If a character is hiding their arms behind them.
3.) If a character's facing side-view, which obscures half of their facial expression on the artwork.
4.)
For example: Imagine a full body of Character A and Character B. Char. B is standing, posing, while the entire right side of Pat's body is behind Char. A.
Since Char A's body only shows half, that means the price is also almost halved, even if it's technically full body.
II. Prices are subject to complexity.
If your character have complex designs or props held, for example:
1.) modern firearms
2.) complex knight armor
3.) clothing that has patterns (I handdraw patterns and never use premade patterns)
I guess if there was a basis, if your character is as complex as a looking at a kaleidoscope or, chances are it is subject to complexity.
There will be a flat price increase to the character.
These technicalities makes a commission increase AND decrease a character's pricing. If your character has complex design but also has culling, it will have a varied price.

I'm always working and available from Mondays-Fridays, and I will not be able to respond to inquiries in Saturdays-Sundays, as I will be outside, away from my workspace those times. Please understand.
PERSONAL/COMMERCIAL USE
For Personal use projects, your drawings will be posted in my social media accounts with a watermark, and credit you with the commission unless you state to be left anonymous.
For Commercial use projects, I, the artist will not share it in any public social media, since it's strictly your possession once it's made and finalized.
PAY NOW or PAY HALF NOW AND LATER
Pay immediately; or pay half immediately, and give the other half when you accept the artwork. Once you pay, you cannot revoke the drawing and ask a return for the payment!If you availed for a partial payment, then the second payment is due at the second update which is clean sketch.
Partial payment only applies to projects costing more than $130, but the first partial minimum payment is $90.
That means if your project costs is $150, you will pay the $90 and the $60 once clean sketch is approved.
NO REFUNDS, WITH EXCEPTIONS
After the rough sketch is submitted, approved and paid, you cannot ask for a refund. Once you pay, I’m already working on it, so please understand.
However, if I haven’t responded for over 2 months with any updates to the commission when you have already paid for it, that’s pretty much a good reason to ask for a refund and I will give it back. Shame me on Twitter too, but rest assured, I’ve always delivered works completely!NO FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE TREATMENT
I wish to take my pace because it has been easier to burn out from commissions, so I will rather choose what to work on first.
a. If your project is larger, it will be less likely to be worked on.
b. If your work is under "Promos" table in Do's & Dont's, then it will be more likely to be worked on.

REVISIONS AND PERIODSREVISIONS
Any major revisions you demand like a part of the pose will be charged by the size based on the variation price. You cannot ask to change the entire pose. Minor revisions like color, you can ask many times.
MORE REFERENCE = FASTER DELIVERY
Give me a description of your commission and 1-3 pictures of the character, props and backgrounds you want.
Please make sure the characters are all similar in appearance. If you want the work to be faster, give me a similar or exact pose of the character, be it your own sketch like a stickman, a screenshot of that character in the pose, or a picture of the exact pose. I have the right to decline if your commission lacks details.
TIME SCALE
It is dependent on the complexity of the project. I will mention the time the projects are expected to be finished in their major milestones (Initial Sketch, Second Sketch, Final Output) while I am talking about the project costs, as project costs decides the time scale of a project simultaneously. It cannot be decided without the initial sketch being approved.
Please do refrain from asking updates; I am making sure that your commission is being worked on, and once a major milestone is completely worked on, I will then show an update to you!Note: Time scale starts when I have been paid for the commission.RESERVE, POSTPONE or CANCEL ANYTIME.
Reserving applies when I'm currently working on another commission, and once I'm available to work on your commission, I can message you in the future.
You can reserve multiple commissions.
Cancelling means declining any more advancements to the commission regardless of progress made, and that means removing your reservation.
Postponing means continuing at a later date, still having a reservation. That means I will message you again in the future if you are now interested in continuining it.
If you haven’t responded in 3 days, I will put you on reservation again. Please understand that people are also waiting for their commission to be worked on.

IMAGE SEQUENCES VS VARIATIONS

Sequences are dynamic changes in a static element in a drawing, and can be many and affected by “time”.
By dynamic, it means that it changes over the course of the images unlike variations. For example: a hand gesture changes from a thumbs-up to a peace sign, and to an OK-sign all iin the same variation. Those are sequences.
Sequences are not new poses in a drawing. For example: If the same character appears in another different pose or in a different perspective in the same drawing, it is counted as an extra character. If there’s a change in the character that will not change for all sequences, for example, a different appearance to their clothing or props held, it’s a variation.
However, unique sequences in only one variation will not get multiplied by variation count.
Variations are static changes on an element in drawing
Variations are for example: Clothing changes within sequences, background changes within sequences, prop changes within sequences. These do not change in the span of sequences.

ABOUT ANIMATION

I have done animations, but the problem is that I cannot work on animations with new clients, since I need to draw a rough sketch first unpaid which will take awhile, and I do need trust on this part since it really takes awhile.Only returning clients or people who were referred by my previous clients can avail for a rendered animation.Anyone however can avail for sketch animations.Animations have a base frame and unique frames.
Unique frames per element means as it is; elements that are different from the other frame and is not a duplicate. Some unique frames can be used from other frames to lower the cost, like tweenings.
Same pricing as making sequences: Starting at $2 for sketch artworks and $3 for rendered artworks. It depends on the complexity of the unique frame.
To start with an animation, I will work on a rough sketch animation to cement everything, and will then tally up each unique frames per element.There will then be an additional charge of 40% Technical Fee of the total price of the project. This additional charge is due to dealing with the timings, frame adjustments, consistency between static elements and dynamic elements.If you want an animation, please tell me!Formula:
A = Static Base Price + Total Unique Frames Price
Project Total = A+(A*.40)

This is the flow of the commission: (you don't need to read it lol)1.) Send me the commission details first. You can ask questions that you need answers on, no worries!2.) I might also ask questions about the details if I need more info. Once I don't have questions, an initial sketch will be made based on your commission details.3.) Once I'm finished drawing the initial sketch, I will then show it to you for approval. You can ask if you need a revision or a change for free, however it will take longer to work on, as to be expected.
Once approved, I will tell you the breakdown of your commission along with the time scale. The breakdown is a list of the costs of the project.
If you accept the breakdown and the time scale of the commission, I will ask you to send me your Paypal email, so I can send you an Invoice, or a Request Money in GCash based on your payment method preference.
Once paid, I will then start working on the second sketch.

That means if your project costs is $150, you will pay the $90 and the $60 once clean sketch is approved.
4.) I will send you a second sketch before the final output will be worked on if it's a Render-style artwork. This is only to give you an update. You cannot ask for a free revision at this state unlike with the initial sketch.
Sketch-style artworks will be sent after the initial sketch.
5.) After the second sketch is approved, I will then work onto the final output.
I will send you the final output of the artwork drawing, along with its versoins, sequences and variations. I will send a drive link with the pictures, and 2x or 4x scaled pictures if you want them.
If you want revisions, they will need to be paid appropriately.
