Kurocyou's Commissions
(closed)


NOTE: I'm not accepting more commissions or waiting list requests at the moment. Keep track of my social media for updates please!Read carefully the form to get an idea of the commission you want from me!• The price examples in the commission sheet below are base points. Complex paintings, poses, intricate armour, detailed environment etc. Will increase the price. Things that require me to design things from scratch will also increase the price (see below for set amount)• This list is for personal commission ONLY. For commercial inquiries, email me directly at [email protected] for discussion.• Payment through Paypal (5,8% basic transaction fee) or bank transfer.• I WILL NOT draw: explicit porn, extreme gore, incest, hateful imagery of any kind. Spiders. Anthro and furries, except for fantasy races. Animals only. Portraits/ships of famous people as themselves. Ships and characters from fandoms I'm not interested in.• I WILL draw: sexy/suggestive imagery, OC/Canon character ships from things that allow it (i.e.: Dragon Age, Mass Effect), portraits of real people (good photos must be provided)ABOUT THE REFERENCESI can work with or without references, but a lack of them will increase the price.
Full references don't necessarily mean an existing image of the character. A collection of pictures of the face, clothing and props will suffice (the use of a real world inspiration for facial feature is appreciated, although not needed).
If you have only partial references (i.e., face but not outfit; an old design to rework) there will be an extra 25% fee.Providing no visual references at all will cause a 50% extra fee. A written description is needed, and I will work with you to come up with a design.NOTE: I won't accept artwork of other people's OCs as direct reference. It can work as "inspiration" for the style or vibe, but I won't copy someone else's design.


Commission types

Character portraits

Character pieces are to be intended as pictures of one or more character in a specific pose, without a detailed background or lightning. Think of the spot illustrations in D&D books.
Painted portraits in this style are expressive character shots that can have a more complex lighting/mood or background, but still reasonable. This is the best and more budget-versatile option if you just want a picture of your character.

Character Sheet

A visual breakdown of your character, with options for various outfits, details on items, expressions, turnarounds and poses. Great option if you need a reference sheet.

Illustrations

As the name says, it's a painted illustration of one or more character performing an action, depicting a moment in their story, with a more or less complex background and dynamism. Your best option if you're looking for something epic! The base price is relatively low but increases quickly so keep your finances in mind. We can also discuss alternative options with simpler styles, or payment plans.


TERMS AND CONDITIONSCREATION
- The artist is committed to create the best work possible in a reasonable time frame.
- Creation usually involves two main steps: concept phase (preparatory sketch, brainstorming), the actual working phase (cleaning the sketch, coloring, lineart, etc). The artist will keep the client updated with as many WIPs as possible.- The Artist ensures the Client will receive email updates on digital commission when necessary. Clients are encouraged to check in when they feel it’s necessary for updates, assurance or reminders.- If the option has been discussed, and generally for commission of €100+, the payment can be issued in two or three steps, the first upon entering the agreement (not below half of the total), the second after the sketch or lineart has been approved and the final before receiving the final piece.- The Client acknowledges that any major change to the commission requested after the beginning of the rendering and the approval of the previous steps will require an additional fee of 20% of the total. The Artist encourages thus to not shy away from requesting changes in the initial stage.- The Artist reserves the right to issue a refund and cancel a digital commission due to poor communication, rude or inappropriate behavior, inability to communicate in effective English.- If for any reason the client decides to suspend business with the artist during the concept phase, after one or more preparatory sketches have been sent, the artist will keep the initial deposit. If the client paid the total amount upfront, the artist will give back an even 50% to the client.USE

Illustrations

Your best option if you're looking for something epic! Any idea you have for art that doesn't fall in the previous categories. This can include dynamic shots, action scenes, big backgrounds.
The price starts at 250€, but increases quickly with addition of complex backgrounds, multiple characters, action, props and such. Feel free to send me a mail with your idea for a price estimate.
Due to the complexity, this kind of commission can take several weeks (or months) to complete, so keep it in mind if you plan to have it be a gift for an occasion. The standard is a painted piece, but less "refined" options can be discussed for lower budgets.
Below you'll find some examples, more can be found in my portfolio.
