Things to keep in mind:
-I don't have a tablet, all commissions will be traditional media.
-Second note on the media, I'm most comfortable right now in doing pencil and ink simply because I've not much experience in coloring, but I'm more than willing to try.
-Third note on that is that if you ask me to color, don't expect miracles, and expect I'll be taking a while longer so I can first make a copy to color so as not to fuck up the original. Maybe if I did that, I'd send both the colored copy and the inked/pencil version.
-I will send you the originals via mail or any shipping of your choice paid by you. You paid for it, you deserve to actually have the paper with the picture, right? And don't doubt they'll be packed well, even if I have to stick a sheet of steel in there to prevent bending. (I don't trust the friggin postal service to not bend something even if marked not to) >; P

Official prices set as follows, not negotiable, and only meant as a baseline. Complexity adds to cost, always.
-One character, minimal to no background (see Babsy giftart) $25
-Add a completed background for $5 on up. Complexity is key, and everyone can plainly see I really haven't done much for them yet.
-Add another character for $10 on up. If there is heavy interaction between characters, this again influences the price.
-More complex poses, as in, ones that involve lots of foreshortening, high impact, high action, heavy expression add $5 and up. My discretion to do so.
-Additional media beyond pencil and minimal inking of lines is something you'll have to ask on. A relatively easy inking and shading job like in my Laylon reference sheet should only run around $5 or so, maybe a tad more.
-Leaving free reign such as lacking any kind of reference, description, and otherwise is a big no no. Add $10 for that if you do.
Please remember that these are baseline and I will give you a final price before I even start drawing for you based on what you ask for. Also, seeing as other artists have been burned on this, I ask that half be paid up front, but I encourage full payment. I do the work I'm paid for, that's my on my word.

-Basic price reference for right now goes back to Laylon's reference sheet. I'll probably have around four hours of work into it when it's all said and done. Basing somewhat on an hourly rate, something like that I would probably charge no less than $25 and probably closer to $30-35. Realize that equates to around $8 an hour, as in.. not much. I feel it's plenty reasonable. However this doesn't mean a commission is based on how much time I put into it.
-I'm not setting prices right now, either, so if you have interest, email, note, Furcadia whisper (Laylon, Jolek, and Parix are most common), or IM me to discuss.
I think that should just about cover it for the time being. Anyone and everyone feel free to tell me what you think.
