I do commissioned art in either hand drawn pencil/color pencils and color pastels.
I do commissioned art in Graphic Art using Photoshop.
Before we get started, a few things to consider before hiring an artist is, that I need as much information about the subject you would like me to capture. If your subject is someone you know and not fantasy art, I may need photographs to work with.
I do:
Human
Animal
Fantasy
in styles of:
realism
line art (nearly outline art)
comic art (line art with color and some shading)
If your subject is a fantasy character, or you as a fantasy charact I cannot at any time, use another piece of art to "copy" from. That would be considered copy right infringement. However, I can view something you would like me to "use as a guide" for your new uncopied image for concept.
But we need to be realisitic. Any artwork that I produce will be similar but not "alike".
I would need artistic interpretation. That mean leway, for my own style to show through. I most likey won't do work exactly like Frank Franzetta, or Luis Royo, Selena French and so forth. I am sure they would not take kindly to that. *nods*
Examples of my work can be seen at:
Joni Warden Gallery
Elfwood
Really Wild Pages (fine art)
The costs associated with the art you see at these sites range from:
pencil: smallest size (8x10) to (18x24) can range from $35.00 up and well into $300.00
All Graphic art will be between 900 kb to 2.5 MB. This does not necessarily mean two different sizes but how much art is on the screen. If I do one subject (a person) with no background it may be as low as 600 kb. But if I add background, trees and nature, the image will become a larger file.
It is very complicated to explain but, with computer graphics, the more art you put into the page, the more it will cost and if its with several shade of color then, it grows exponentially.
All images will be between $65.00 to start with one subject in black and white, one subject.
(A double portrait will be $115)
Each extra subject will cost: $15.00 (in B & W)
Color images will range over $200.00 to start with one subject.
(A double portrait will be $350)
Each extra subject item will cost $25.00 (in color)
Contact me for any thing, I did not answer or that was not clear for you. I would be happy to chat with you about any concerns.
