Packages and Individual Prices for Commission Art

Here is a step by step method on how to commission me, what prices to expect for what you want, and how not to miss any specific details.

1) Decide what you want, specifically. Which character(s), what they will be wearing, what they will be doing, any props included, and any background you have in mind. Gather examples of character, setting, props, if you have any. If not, a well detailed description works too.

2) Read the following pricing list to get a good idea of what I can do for you, check out my examples listed, and figure out what price range you'll be looking at for what you have in mind. If you cannot afford what you want, feel free to contact me anyway, and perhaps we can work out something a bit simpler. The following lists show the base price for each package, and the ladders you may use to add certain details to a commission. The prices set are for one nude or simply clothed character per picture unless otherwise stated. Remember, the complexity of your character(s) will increase the price of the commission.

What counts as a complex character? Any overly elaborate clothing, mechanical gadgets such as cyborg limbs, overly elaborate tattoos, etc. If you think your character counts as complex, please send examples so that I may quote you.

Another thing that will affect the price is the subject matter. I will draw anything you wish, but things not entirely in my comfort/enjoyment zone will be charged higher.
Here is what will cost more:
Scat (poopoo)
watersports (peepee)
*guro (mutilation)
**beastiality
necrophilia (sex with the dead)
***loli/shota (children in sexual situations)

* There are enough artists on the internet that draw mutiliation and large objects shoved into the urethra. I really don't want anything to do with it unless you're willing to pay A LOT for it. This doesn't include fight scenes, and general blood and gore.
** Beastiality is a human having intercourse with a feral animal. This does not count for anthro/human sex.
*** Having known people who have been in trouble for possessing this sort of artwork, this is something you need to be careful with. Loli/shota is children in sexual situations with either other children, or adults. Where is the line between child and adult? If I think your character looks underage enough to bother me (I'm generally all right with puberty age), I'll let you know. And if they look TOO young, I won't do it at all. Tuff shit.

Depending on subject matter, some pieces cannot have prints made.

Definition of terms:
Rough: sketchy lines or vague smudging of color. Is distinguishable for what it is, but not cleaned up.
Refined: sketches and paintings have been smoothed out.
Complex:
sketches and paintings have been refined to the point of finer detail. Complex characters have lots of detail.
Expedited: You pay extra to have your piece finished quicker. I work on my days off and/or ahead of other pieces which are not priority. This is subject to commissioner availability. If you cannot get back to me quickly when time to advance to the next stage, it is not my fault if I do not finish in the given time, and I will not refund priority money. Make sure you're available for constant updates, or do not bother with priority. As always, I will let you know what is, and isn't within my capability when it comes to finishing something by a certain deadline.


You may request other materials which I don't have, but can be ordered, such as:
Light colored pencils on black or other colored bristol
Glossy photo paper (for cg prints)
Matting for framing



3) Once you have decided approximately what you would like, send me an email to mosa@rainbow-mouse.net. We will work out payment details.

4) Send payment. I accept cash, paypal, and credit cards through paypal. Once I receive it, I will begin work on your piece.

5) I will send updates after every major stage so that things can be tweaked if they need to be before anything becomes too difficult or impossible to change. Please respond in a timely manner. Failure to do so will result in the delay of the completed work.

6) Upon completion, you will receive the works in the agreed upon fashion, either by shipping, or a high resolution digital copy. You may do what you like with it as long as you do not sell prints or other merchandise with it. I retain all rights to the image itself and will not sell those rights. I, on the other hand, am allowed to publicly post the piece online, unless I previously agreed not to. If you do not wish for the piece to be public, you must inform me immediately.
For shipping prices, please ask.

Do not send any payment until I have confirmed the exact price. This minimizes the chance of sending the wrong payment.
