Digital Commissions
Commissions are priced to scale with your budget, based on increments of detail sessions— about half of a work day. The more detail sessions you pay for, the more hours are invested in your piece.
Detail Sessions are $80/each.
I also offer printing services for finished digital pieces, as well as in-house matting and framing services for said prints, if you so choose.
If you are interested in commissioning me, please read the Terms of Service, then send me an email at cael.illus@gmail.com with what you have in mind, or with any questions.
I am only accepting 1 more commission at this time, and have no plans to necessarily offer more slots after those are completed, so reach out soon!
Payment
Payment is to be made through Paypal or Venmo; I'll send an invoice to you via email after we've agreed on the commission. If these options aren’t feasible for you, other payment methods may be considered on a case-by-case basis.
Payment is to be made up front in USD, before the start of work, but payment plan options are available for prices in excess of $300. For full details regarding cancellation, refunds, reproduction rights, and other alterations or edits, please see the full Terms of Service.
2 Detail SESSIONs
($160)
2 session rough paintings allow for simple pieces with a focus on mood and atmosphere-- though lacking in detail, they can still convey emotion and implied setting. To allow for more time to be spent on the most interesting parts of the painting, I often suggest keeping these to a portrait, bust, or otherwise cropped figure. To leave as much time as possible for spending on the painting stage, I usually only send one sketch concept for approval, rather than multiple sketches to choose from.
3 Detail Sessions
($240)
These 3 session paintings are less involved than their 5-slot cousins, but set out to accomplish the same mission of capturing a character with an emphasis on mood and personality. This is also the minimum that I would suggest for well-rounded portraits of characters where likeness is important. To leave as much time as possible for spending on the painting stage, I usually only send one sketch concept for approval, rather than multiple sketches to choose from.
6 Detail Sessions
($480)
One of my most popular options, the 6 session painting allows for well-resolved characters at the expense of a solid environment. I enjoy this tier because it gives me enough time to really capture facial likeness and expression, as well as having time to solidify clothing or textures such as feathers, fur, etc. If some sense of an environment is important to you, we can also discuss diverting some time from the character rendering to achieve such. Starting at this tier, I will usually spend more time in the concept stage, so that you have more than one concept/sketch to choose from for your piece.
8-15 Detail Sessions
($640 - 1200)
At 8 - 15 detail sessions, you receive a painting with a character at a medium level of rendering, and a painterly environment with a focus on mood and atmosphere. This is really solid option for those who want the full scenery of an illustration but who have a limited budget. These still come at a great print-ready resolution, but the details are left more loose.
16-30 Detail Sessions
($1280 - 2400)
This is a great option for those seeking a full illustration but also appreciate some painterly aspects left in. 20 - 30 sessions allows for enough time to fully flesh out the characters. These are done at the same high file resolution as my full detail paintings, so the finished painting is a great candidate for printing as a large size canvas print.
40+ Detail Sessions
($3200+)
A fully detailed painting, with the same degree of attention and consideration I give to my most important personal illustrations. These 40+ session paintings are done at very high resolution (at least 9000 pixels on the longer side), to allow for the details to be fully fleshed out and so that great care can be given to both character and environment rendering.
