Are all your drawings hand drawn?
Yes, I use a display tablet with a stylus, in photoshop.
Request a Waist-Up Drawing of Your Character
How long does a drawing take?
Aside from the drawing type and complexity for a particular drawing, the delivery date will largely depend on my availability and how packed my drawing queue is. I try to include a delivery date estimate for each individual drawing type on my request page.
Additionally, I provide a rough delivery estimate with each request. However, please know that I reserve spots in my queue only after the payment has been made, so I am able to provide more-accurate estimates then.

Naturally, the duration varies depending on the drawing type and the desired complexity. As you can imagine, a fully-illustrated epic multi-level battlefield scene with numerous monsters and characters takes longer than a bust of a plain mannequin-looking warforged.
In the case of a Full Body Character Drawing, for example, it takes me about 3-4 days to complete a drawing. Sometimes it takes me a little less than that, and sometimes quite a bit more.
Also, for certain drawing types I offer to include a rough sketch before the final draft, which is an opportunity for us to discuss and confirm that we're headed in the right direction, or make any changes, if necessary. Typically, the final draft is ready about a week after the rough sketch has been confirmed.
Please keep in mind that one of the factors for the way I've priced my drawings is how long an average drawing takes, and if the request contains something extraordinarily time-consuming or complex, then there will likely be extra cost associated with that. Please know, however, that I will inform you well in advance if that is the case and we'll have the opportunity to discuss and figure out the best path forward.
Lastly, it's important to mention that life happens and sometimes delays occur. Please know that my approach, despite any turbulence or delay, has been to always prioritize the art (without rushing it or compromising on the quality) which doesn't help when there are delays, but that's just non-negotiable for me.

Can you do custom backgrounds or complex scenes?
Gladly! I like a good challenge. However, please know that this will be outside of the usual rates, and the extra cost would entirely depend on what you have in mind.
Submit a request and let's discuss.

Are the rates for group drawings different?
I hate to give a vague answer, but it really depends on what you have in mind. As a general rule, if all of the characters in the drawing need to be fully visible, then the rates would be the same as ordering multiple individual characters. On the other hand, if some characters will be partially visible in the finished composition, then there might be room for a discount. Please get in touch with me via email and let's discuss.
Do I have to pay upfront in full or in installments?
Please know that I reserve spots in my queue only after the full payment has been made, and that's how I've operated with all my clients since the very beginning.
I may consider installments only for larger contractual commercial projects.

What payment methods do you accept?
I currently accept payments primarily through PayPal. It's convenient, secure, and available virtually everywhere.
For other methods we'd have to discuss further so I can evaluate the feasibility, however please know that I don't accept crypto.
