What type of commissions are offered? What details do I need to provide?
Details needed to start a commission is the chosen character(s) or subject. Don’t forget to be specific about things like costumes or versions. The dimensions of the commission (typically 9 x 12”, 11 x 17”or blank sketch covers, but I offer other sizes) and which of the types of commissions are offered (see samples below).
Payments
Once the commission details and price are agreed upon by the client and the artist, an invoice via PayPal will be sent to you requesting a non-refundable down payment of 50% of the total amount. Artwork will begin after the first payment is made. The second/last invoice will be sent upon completion of the commissioned artwork, including the cost of shipping. Due to the fluctuating nature of shipping, costs are calculated once the project is complete for the most up to date rates. If you require alternative payment options (such as 3-4 payments before shipping) it can be arranged. Please note that the currency in which payments are made is in Canadian (CAD) dollars only.
What’s next?
I will draw up a few sketches of poses and compositions for you to choose from. Once the sketch is selected, I start rough pencil drawing your commission. A picture will be sent to you via email. Any adjustments to the artwork can be made at this stage. The pencil stage is important as alterations become harder/impossible going into further stages. Next up is clean pencils, then ink; if you request colours, that is the last stage of the artwork along with final touches.
How long does a commission take to complete?
When I open my commissions, I usually have some time to work on them. Usually between work and home life. For a single character, give it a week. Something more complex could be a week to a month. I will keep in full communication with you regarding updates and delays. If your piece is time sensitive, we can discuss options.
COMMISSION STYLES & PRICING
We all have different tastes in our art. Art is subjective. So I try to make it easy for you to choose and break down what I offer. It may look like a lot but it’s not that bad once you know what you like.
more options will be available shortly
Convention Sketch Price Guide
(Coming soon)
If you are attending a convention that I am exhibiting at, here is a guide to what I offer at my table. These prices reflect the amount of work and time I can budget for the show on a daily basis. I have blank sketch covers and 9”x12” boards only. Please note, ANYTHING can happen and emergencies do occur. I ask for contact info when I get your payment in case something were to happen and I have to leave, I can coordinate with you on how to get your art piece to you.

Got it? Great! Let's see what you've got in mind. Please leave me updated information. In the subject, please write whether you're requesting a 'commission' or a 'sketch' and which convention you will be meeting me at. If you have a specific character design (example If you want Spider-Man tell me the version like Ben Reily's suit over the Black Suit) please tell me.
Here’s what a request can look like:
“Hello,
Can I please get A Full Body COLOUR commission of The Joker on an 11”x17” board? I like the Joaquim Phoenix version from the movie. Can he have a cigarette incorporated in the piece. Can I add some additional colors to the background? Nothing fancy just to give it some depth. Thanks”
“Whats up?
I’m attending NYCC in the fall and would like to get a sketch! Is it possible to get Goku holding up Mjolnir on a Thor blank cover? Can I get IN GREY TONES as well?
Thank you.”
