     • Personal commissions can be posted anywhere by the commissioner and printed for personal use only. They must not be used for sale, advertisment or any kind of profit making.
     • I retain the copyright for the artwork: use it for posting and making prints.
(if you don't want me to use it for prints it can be discussed and may increase the price a bit)

If the price is greater than 900$ you can pay in 3 instalments.

     • No refunds. (I can't do them physically, so please be sure that you're willing to spend the money on the commission)

Working process

     • Send me information and references, then basing on this I'll tell you the price.
      • Please provide a character reference, ideas for poses, moodboard or anything else you think is needed. (if you don't a character reference for your character then find pictures that better show it.
For example: I want a face like in this picture, beard like in this and body type like in this etc.)
      • Walls of text without images are not welcome. Not because I'm lazy to read, but it helps to prevent misunderstanding!
      • I do a rough sketch first. It can take from 2 days to 1 week.
Then after your approval I do lines and colouring or painting.
    • After the piece is done If the work added is to refine something that is the fault of the requester that incurs a cost starting from 10$.
     • Approximate lead time is 1-3 month. Or more, depends on my workload.
(If you need a piece done to a specific deadline in a short period of time it can be discussed but will affect the price)
     • You are able to request work-in-progress updates.
     • Full sized finished picture will be sent on your email. (You can request small resolution version)

     • Prising can be flexible and depends on the amount of details and complexity. Because each drawing is individual. (For example complex patterns, clothes with a lot of details etc. will add a bit to the price)
     • Simple abstract background is included to the base price.
     • Additional character adds about 50% of character the price.
     • Prices for complex backgrounds, animals calculated individually.


  • Portrait/bust: 300-400$

  • Waist-up: 450-550$

  • Full body: 600-800$
