Q: Will you draw sexual scenarios? If so, how extreme?
A
: I do not draw sex scenes anymore. However, nudity is completely acceptable.

Q: I have my own character, will you draw it? Plus, can I use it in a publication?
A
: Yep. Just send over drawings and/or a description of the character and I'll draw it for you. Unless I otherwise protest (it might be the material..), the commission is yours to do as you please (as long as it is your own character, mind you) and I am given credit for the piece. I also require a copy of the published work that the piece is used in.

Q: I want you to draw [Insert character name here]. Do you know him/her?
A: I don't know a lot of the newer characters out there nowadays, so I may have to request reference images.

Q: I want you to draw [friend, spouse, relative, celebrity]. How well are you with likenesses?
A: Well, I haven't tried much, so I'm sure it's not as fine tuned as other aspects, but I'd certainly be up for giving it a try and at gain experience. Images will definitely be needed, of course.

Q: I want you to draw [insert insanely long description here]
A: Describing a character is one thing, but describing an intricate scenario is way other (unless it's a two character or a full color commission). Please provide a sketch of what you're talking about, or keep the description of the scenario simple. If I have any questions or don't understand what is being described, I will definitely ask for more info. The key thing to remember is to keep the idea within the confines of the commission type chosen or choose a commission type that better fits the idea!

Q: Will you draw a woman getting impaled by a spear or her head lopped off?
A: No. I will draw battle scenes, but nothing tasteless.

Q: How long will it take to draw the commission?
A: It really depends on the complexity and the type of piece and my current queue. They can take anywhere from two weeks to a month. But be prepared and patient if it exceeds that time. It has been known to happen, but I do complete commissions.

Q: It's been over two weeks and I haven't heard anything from you. I see you are still listing items on eBay. I'm going to contact eBay and Paypal, etc etc etc. Are you just taking my money and running?
A: I try to get commissions out as fast as I can. Sometimes I have other pieces on eBay, but I do sometimes have other pieces on the side that I work on now and then that do pop up on eBay while working on outstanding commissions. However, I am now focusing on getting turnaround times on commissions to be much quicker and making them more priority than eBay pieces. I try to respond to questions quickly, but there are times when it may take a few days or longer to respond. Please be patient. No commissions will be neglected.

Q: Do you ever have commission prices lowered?
A: I usually have some commission auctions on eBay with a lower price pop up from time to time.

Q: Do you do sketch card commissions?
A: I haven't experimented with that much, so I am not doing any sketch card commissions at this time.

Q: I want to order a commission, but can I mail in the payment?
A: I can accept money orders, but not personal checks. If you are wanting to mail the payment in, please contact me for where to mail payment as well as what you are wanting and when you will be mailing the payment out.

Q: I'm a writer looking for an artist to draw a comic. Interested?
A: While I would like to draw comics, I haven't had much time available to practice and experiment with that medium. I cannot accept any offers like that at this time. I would be glad to take on offers for covers or in-book pinups. Please contact me and we'll discuss it.

Q: Are there any specials for bulk purchases or group shots not listed?
A: If you have any ideas such as one piece with many people, a bulk series of commissions you'd like or any other idea similar but not listed, please contact me with the idea and I'll see if it's doable, as well as quote a price for you.

If you have any further questions not listed, please don't hesitate to contact me!
