Current commission status: CLOSED. I'm back in college now, and veryverybusy. My email is irkelm@yahoo.com if you'd like to get on the waiting list. Summer has to come eventually! Prices and guidelines are in the next journal entry.

I sell commissions. If you're interested, please email a query to irkelm@yahoo.com. I usually reply within a day.

Price estimates:
chibis: $10, +5 for extra characters
pencil sketches: $30+
ink: $45+
comic pages: $100
watercolor: $100+
computer color: $70+
sewing: $35+

+Additional costs: extra characters ($5-20), complicated costumes ($10-30), full backgrounds ($10-50), larger size (normal size is 8.5x11" for pencil, ink, and computer or 9x12" for watercolor), things that make me blush ($10-30)

Good things for a query to include: a vague idea of how many characters, what medium, or your price range. Please mention a deadline if you need it by a certain date.

1: Send query
2: I accept commission and ask for full information (1-2 days)
3: Send information
4: I prepare multiple sketches and send them for approval (~5-7 days)
5: Request changes or redo. I will resketch once for free. Further major changes cost $15 per round of sketches.
6: Approve sketch
7: Send payment (I accept Paypal, checks, or money orders. Please ask before sending anything else.)
8: I complete the piece and mail it to you, along with digital copies of the file. Polished sketches usually take a week. Ink work usually takes up to two weeks. Comic pages and computer colored work can take three weeks. Watercolor and sewing commissions will often take a couple months.

Things I will do: Illustrations for poems, novels, or short stories. Character portraits, realistic or chibi. Personal portraits, likewise. Fanart. Fantasy art. Comic pages. Tattoo designs. Anthros/furries. Homosexual or heterosexual erotica, including some kink. Badges, keychain tags. Paper dolls. Costume designs. Doll clothing. Cloth toys. Celtic knotwork. Paper masks.

Things I will not do: shota/loli either implied or explicit, hardcore pornography, copies of other artists' work, costumes for actual humans (I just don't know how to sew well enough,) and jewelry (I don't have the equipment on hand. Sorry.)

I reserve the right to refuse a commission at any time before I get paid if I think I cannot satisfy you. After I get paid, I will make my best effort to finish a commission. If I cannot, I will give a partial refund, depending on how much work I've put into it, and try to work it out so that there are no hard feelings. So far, I have never failed to complete a commission.
