Commissions

Custom artwork made for clients

Commissions are considered on a limited basis. Each project applies the same research-oriented methods as my independent work, combining accuracy, observation, and design intent. Details and more information on commissioning are outlined below.

Info

Commissions are available on a very limited basis and not all inquiries are accepted.
My work focuses on creating scientifically accurate and visually engaging illustrations, as well as general wildlife and animal artwork. I approach each project with extreme attention to detail and anatomical accuracy to ensure a high-quality final piece tailored to your vision.
Rates for personal-use commissions start at $25 USD per hour. Commercial-use commissions start at $50 USD per hour. These rates do not include material costs, which will be calculated separately based on the specific needs of the project. Each commission is priced individually, with the total cost determined by the scope and complexity of the work. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, I retain all copyright to the artwork.

In the initial consultation, we will discuss your ideas, intended use, and any specific requirements you have in mind. I will then provide you with an estimated cost and timeline based on the details of your project. Once the terms are agreed upon, a deposit - typically 50% of the estimated cost - is required to secure your spot. Throughout the creation process, I will provide regular updates and drafts to ensure the final result aligns with your vision.

Upon completion, the finished piece will be delivered either through a high-resolution digital format or as the physical artwork, depending on your preference. Please note that revisions are included during the sketching stage only. Any additional changes beyond this stage may incur extra costs.

Commercial commissions require a signed agreement detailing usage rights, and personal-use commissions may not be used on or to advertise products or services. Payment methods and any other specific terms will be discussed in greater detail during the consultation.

If you are interested in commissioning me or have any questions about the process, please reach out to me through the contact form on my website with your project details. Please include the word "Commission" in your subject line.

Due to the limited number of commissions I accept and a busy personal schedule, early inquiries are strongly recommended to ensure the work can be completed by your deadline.
