Be Involved in your Art
I love working with people to create the art of their dreams. Every commission is handled with the same respect, regardless of the content. By providing a revision stage, I never leave you hanging.
Peace of Mind
I strive to make my commission process as transparent as possible. My queue is completely public, with work in progress shots updated weekdaily. I also send out a weekly email to every current client with updates on my progress.
See What Past Clients Say
I value each and every comment on my work and the commission experience, whether positive or negative. I think my work speaks for itself, but in the words of LeVar Burton “you don’t have to take my word for it!”

Fine Art
Fine art pieces are more free-form, so I will take more artistic liberty when it comes to specifications.
However, you will still see the sketch for approval before I begin painting or inking.
Fine art pieces take longer than regular commissions. Please expect AT LEAST a 2 month wait, regardless of my queue.
Shipping is NOT included in the price. I will contact you after completion to discuss shipping costs or at-con pick-up.
Mixed Media “Pop Out”
Price dependent on size
My favorite kind of traditional media art to do! For these, I think bones, insects, and other natural or “witchy” themes work best, but I am comfortable with a wide range of subjects including fursonas.
Pop-out Illustrations include a frame. Most are up-cycled and chosen to fit your specific piece. Please ask if you have a frame in mind.
Pricing generally follows this math:
- $15 per inch on the longest side of the frame
- +$40 per detailed “pop-out” or die-cut piece
- +$10 for each simple piece
The Deaths Head Moth example to the left is a $320 commission.
Graphite Illustrations
Starting at $155 for 8.5×11″
These are NOT sketches. These are fully-rendered graphite illustrations that bring your design to life in velvety-textured greyscale. Unlike prints and markers, graphite will not fade with age, so you can enjoy your art for years to come.
