I have a scanner now, so commissions have been reopened! Yeah!
Listed is base prices for images. The price for the image you would like may be higher or lower depending on what you want. These prices are not set in stone, I am flexible, and willing to make deals with people who order more than one commission. (Please read "My Philosophy" for more information about how I approach, and feel about commissions.) All prices in US Dollars. Shipping is extra, but I'm not sure how much yet. Please email me if you are interested, or have any questions

What you get:
The original sketch on either A4 Manga Paper, B4 Manga Paper, or Comic Book Paper.
High-res file sent to you on a CD ($2 extra charge)
High-res file sent to you inbox (no shipping charge since nothing will be shipped)
Extras:
For $5, the image can be colored two ways!. Maybe you wanted to see the image colored as if it was night, and day. So, just $5 more and I'll color it both ways. This also applies to computer coloring, and traditional coloring (so, one will be done via traditional media, and the other via computer)
Gift art:
I can send the image to another person. Most likely, I'll email you the image, and mail them the originals. I can even put a little note in the package saying "Happy Birthday!! Love, Johnny," or "I hope you get feeling better soon! Love, Laura," or whatever you wish (please keep it PG though). I can either put your or my address as the return address. For gift art, I will probably put in a little note saying that someone commissioned me to draw them the picture (you can remain anonymous if you'd like, but, I'd prefer it if I can name you [in case the person gets a little freaked out]). This service is free
Customer Appreciation Services:
Following are the ways in which I want to say Thank you to everyone who purchases something from me!
1) Buy 5 commissions get one single person, colored commission for free!
3) Refer me to a friend and receive 10% off the next order! Just ask them to tell me that you’ve referred them when they purchase something and I’ll take 10% off your next order!
My Philosophy
I feel that the person who orders the commission owns the work just as much as I do. Meaning that I will not post the image without that persons permission. For original characters, I will post a link to their pages if the person has ones and desires so. This does not mean that the person who orders, or recieves the image has the right to turn the image into a print and sell multiple copies of it. They can, however, sell the original at any time. I would prefer to know about this, especially if it's through eBay or the such since I find it interesting to watch the auction (and, who knows, I may want to bid!) I will respect the rights of the person who commissions me, and, I would hope to have the same respect in return. Also, I will not sell a commissioned peice as a print neither here nor deviantArt. This is my steadfast rule. The only way this will be broken is if the person who commissioned me wants to buy one of the opitions off of deviantArt (for instance, a puzzle of the picture (much like how this is a puzzle), or a larger print size [assuming the image is the appropriate size]). Only then will I do it. Or, if the person who commissions me tells me in writing that it is okay for me to sell the image as a print.
I hope that this does not sound too harsh. I try very hard to remain as respectful, honest, and as easy to work with as possible. I think that part of this is trust. The image that you order for me will be used only in ways that you and I agree upon.
If you have any questions about this please email me and I will try my best to answer your questions.
Having that said, I absolutely LOVE doing commissions. They keep me artistically energized, and I love to draw pictures that people love. I will not stop until you are satisfied with the image.
Generally speaking, I will do a quick sketch based on the information you give me, send that to you, and change whatever it is that you want. There are times when I will do three or four rough sketches until I get it how you want. Then, I do a tighter sketch which I will send to you for approval. I'll change whatever it is that you wish, and then ink and color the image if appropriate. I do not mind working hard on an image - in fact, I will work hard until I get the image how you want.
So far, everyone who has ordered a commission from me has been satisfied, and I intend on keeping my record at 100%.
Turnaround:
In general, a commission will take about 3 to 4 weeks. The more detailed ones (or ones that fall on Finals Week!) may take a little longer. I am a student, so, unfortunately, school gets in the way. If I could draw all day I would.
Experience:
I have done countless commissions, and am currently working on a few independent/small press comics. Please check out my About Me for more information about these.
