What is "Surprise Me"?

a commission type where the only directions that may be provided are visual design references and a few of your character's personality traits and quirks.Due to the nature of Surprise Me's, WIPs are not guaranteed to be shared during the process. Revisions cannot be requested UNLESS I missed a detail or design element that was clearly provided. If it was not in the original reference images, no modifications may be made.

Acceptable

  • good-natured

  • cheerful

  • voracious vegetarian

  • loves bringing back spoils from adventures

  • carries a magical fire-element shortsword

Acceptable visual references

References contain at least one image per character that shows their color scheme, any detail shots and/or extra images that depict design elements.

Unacceptable

"my character is a calm and collected master swordsman who always carries his twin katanas. I want him to hold the blue sword in his mouth and the red sword in his right hand. His left hand should be resting on a sheath at his side. He should be smirking with one eye closed and one leg up on a rock at a crossroads..."

Unacceptable visual references

References contain pose suggestions, no images that show the characters’ color scheme, extra images that do not depict any design elements on the character(s), and/or illegible screenshots.

Unless you are commissioning me for character designs or reference sheets, I am only offering "Surprise Me" commissions, effective for an indefinite amount of time. I apologize for any inconvenience.


Composition Types

Portrait

$100

Includes shoulders, upper chest, and usually one hand.

  • Due to the nature of Surprise Me commissions, I will not always initiate communication or show WIPs before completing the artwork. However, I will sometimes show WIPs and or ask questions.

  • Commission queue and progress can be viewed on Trello. Feel free to contact me at any time for any reason, but for quick, simple questions such as “how far are you along the queue list?” keep in mind that the answer may be easily found on Trello!
