Astroblaze's Commission Shop

[Astroblaze]

Hello, and welcome to my Commission Shop!

Check out my DeviantART for my full gallery.

School is officially in session for me now, I'm afraid, but my commissions are still open! My newly tightened schedule just means artwork will take longer to complete.

"Communication is key" has been my motto for many years, so rest assured that I will keep you posted and consult you with any design questions for the entirety of the commission process. It's your idea I'm depicting, after all.

Options
If in doubt or if key parts of your idea are unlisted, absolutely feel free to ask me! I will never be annoyed by someone seeking clarification. Besides, I've probably forgotten many things that could be included on these lists.

I can draw I don't draw

• ▹ Subjects
  Excellently: vanilla, interactions
  Decently: reference sheets, fandom-related
  Poorly: N/A
  
  ▹ Objects
  Excellently: humans, humanoids, facial expressions
  Decently: dogs, horses, buildings, vehicles, most props, injuries/scars, muscle
  Poorly: most other animals, heavyset characters
  
  ▹ Skills
  Excellently: proportions, most poses, full-body shots
  Decently: mild foreshortening, short comics, close-up shots
  Poorly: extreme foreshortening
  
  Of course, just because a subject, object, or skill is listed as "Poor" doesn't mean I can't do it! It only means that that element of the piece may not be quite up to par and I may be learning as I go.
• ▹ Subjects: sexually explicit, gore, general obscenity, political
  ▹ Objects: rude or obscene gestures, obesity
  ▹ Skills: extensive comics

Style Selection

Classic Biti

• Example 1 | Example 2 | Example 3
  My standard style that you see in most of my full pieces and sketches. I've adapted this from manga over time and practice, attracted to the semi-realistic but idealized proportions and crisp line-work.
  
  One piece worked on consistently takes an average of 1-2 weeks to complete. The least amount of time I have spent on a piece is 4 days.
  
  Pricing
  $10 baseline + shipping
  +$3 per additional figure in image
  +$2 for partial background, +$5 for full background
  add frame = +price of frame (expect +$10-15)
• Example 1 | Example 2 | Example 3
  A simpler and cuter style than my usual. Biti is to Classic what chibi is to manga. Due to their simplicity, I prefer to keep Biti drawings substantially smaller than Classic.
  
  One piece worked on consistently takes an average of 5 days to complete. The least amount of time I have spent on a piece is a few hours.
  
  Pricing
  $5 baseline + shipping
  +$1 per additional figure in image
  +$0.50 for background
  +$2 for printed backing
  +$0.75 for fridge magnet (magnets average at 2-3" tall and are made from shrinkable plastic)
  add frame = +price of frame (expect +$8-10)

Character Reference Sheets
In addition to traditional art pieces, I also do full character reference sheets. These sheets will always be completed in landscape orientation and can be ordered in one of two types, analyzed below.

Notice: all predictions are assuming a character with humanoid proportions. Significantly different proportions may require more pages, which can marginally increase cost.

Traditional Snippet

• Examples: N/A
  The more predictable and regular format of the two, the Traditional style is also more rigid in its guidelines, but this lends to a more reliable final result.
  
  Features:
  ▹ one full four-part turnaround for each distinct form
  ▹ one additional fifth part with any minor details
• Example
  More visually interesting than the Traditional format, the Snippet style can be a touch more chaotic in nature, but a high degree of flexibility also allows it to be more customizable.
  
  Features:
  ▹ one basic front-on pose per form
  ▹ a handful of "instances" of the character as needed to display all facets

Pricing
$20 baseline + shipping
+$10 per additional form

Medium
▹ 9"x12" drawing pad (Strathmore)
▹ colored pencils (varied, mainly Prismacolor)
▹ shading pencils (varied, mainly Crayola)
▹ ink pens (Micron)
▹ alcohol-based markers (Winsor&Newton)
▹ other miscellaneous tools used at my discretion

I can buy other, small additions to my medium on request as needed for a commission, but the time needed to find and purchase the tool and a portion of the tool's cost will be added to the commission.

Drop a comment if you're interested! Commission communication will be done via PMs, email, or Discord, whichever's easier for you. Transactions will be completed via PayPal.

Please take note: all completed commissions will be posted on my DeviantART account for display purposes unless otherwise requested.
