EDIT: Winners have been selected and my auction is now CLOSED.  However, if you're interested in being picked in the future, you may continue to send me your commission ideas along with your desired budget, and I can hopefully pick you in the future, time permitting! :)

* * * * *




Finally! I will be opening for limited, digital-only commissions at the end of September/beginning of October!


Casey and I are moving overseas again to the UK for his PhD program, and so any help with our (uncomfortably tight x_x) finances during this time would be greatly appreciated!  <3  I'm normally fairly busy with Endless Realms work, but I should have a bit more free timethe next coming month or two, so I've decided to hold a SILENT AUCTION - BIDDING OPENS NOW! Contact me privately with your bid and a description of what you'd like done :)  Email is strongly preferred ( jocarra@gmail.com) - a subject header like "(Your Username)'s Commission" or "(Your Username)'s Auction Bid" would be most helpful!  Including at least one reference image would also be helpful, but isn't necessary.  If you want the image to be kept private, need commercial rights for it, or have a particular printing format in mind, I need to know that, too.  Thanks!


I hope to leave bidding open until the end of September... ish, depending on the responses I get.  I MAY have time for multiple commissions (eg. one large commission, one medium one, and one small), so don't feel like I'll be motivated purely by who's willing to pay the most :b  I'll be looking at your various ideas and how much time I'll have available, and seeing what I can fit in.  I know some people hate how auctions inflate the prices of commissions, and I also know first-come first-served policies can result in people who have unfortunate working/sleeping hours getting left out, so I hoped doing this would be a little more fair for everyone :)


So... Yeah!  Bullet; Red Bullet; Red Bullet; RedTL;DR - Email me your idea, name your price, and I'll see who I can fit in!Bullet; Red Bullet; Red Bullet; Red  I'll announce the winning bid(s) once the auction closes.  If you have any questions, feel free to comment below :)



PRICES


Prices are based on an estimate of how long a commission will take me at a rate of $25USD/hr.  I've listed commonly requested products below with examples - if you don't see an example of what you want, I can still probably do it!  Just ask :)


$35-$100 (1.5-4 hours)

PAYMENT


Payment is due when I'm ready to begin your commission.  Please do not pay before I am ready unless previously negotiated, thanks!  When prompted, please send your payment in USD to my Paypal ( jocarra@gmail.com ).  You can either send the money to me for goods/services, or I can create an invoice for you.  Partial payment plans are available for larger commissions, but full payment is required before I can give you the final product.  Finally, tips are absolutely not expected or required, but very much appreciated!  Thank you!



PREFERRED SUBJECTS


I will happily consider most any species, character, or subject matter, adult or no.  As a general rule, though...

  • More preferred subjects = wildlife/nature, anthro/were, fantasy/tribal, dark/horror/monsters, romantic/sensual adult
  • Less preferred subjects = urban/industrial, technical/mechanical, graphic/extreme adult



WHAT YOU'LL GET


My appreciation! <3  You'll get a maximum quality JPG or PNG, and optional PSD/AI file(s); size/resolution depends on product (eg. icon vs full illustrations).  Every time I send you an image (sketch, WIP, finished product), you may ask me to make a few minor revisions if necessary (eg. "Could you make his paws a bit bigger?"  "Could you make her eyes darker?") - if you wait to ask for a revision (eg. waiting until the finished product to say you'd like an entirely different pose), I likely will be unable to do so :( (at least, not without incurring extra cost, I'm afraid!)



TERMS OF SERVICE


Unless otherwise negotiated ahead of time...

  • I must be able to contact you reliably.  Failure to respond in a timely manner (within two weeks) may result in you losing your commission spot.
  • I require an advance payment (either in part or in full) for all commissions, due when I'm ready to begin work.
  • A rough sketch and multiple WIPs will be sent to you for review and revisions - major/multiple changes requested after revisions are done may result in additional costs at my discretion.
  • We both have the right to publicly display the artwork online or elsewhere, or otherwise make personal usage of the artwork.
  • In cases of adult subject matter, you assert and affirm that you are of legal age to view and purchase items of an adult nature by commissioning me.
  • I retain ALL commercial rights to the artwork.  You cannot make commercial use of my artwork without my permission.
  • You retain ALL commercial rights to your personal characters in the artwork.  I cannot make commercial use of your characters without your permission.
  • I retain the right to modify, edit, or reuse the artwork in part or whole following commission completion at my discretion.
  • You retain the right to modify, edit, or reuse the artwork in part or whole following commission completion at your discretion.
  • I retain the right to cancel a commission at any time should you a) violate my rights, b) fail to respond or send payment in a timely manner (several weeks), c) harass or threaten me, or are otherwise rude or hostile.
  • You retain the right to cancel a commission at any time for any reason, but money cannot be refunded for work already done (even if incomplete). Cancelling a commission results in your losing your commission spot.


Thank you for your consideration!
