I've done a lot of commissions before 2011, but they aren't quite near the quality of work I can produce now! If you'd still like to take a look, here's an album with a few samples that span from 2006-2011; most were discounted offers or for charity!
There's also my PaperCanvas notebooks portfolio :D

DIGITAL SKETCH MINIMUM RATES (in US Dollar and Philippine Peso)
Digital sketches are drawn more loosely and at a much smaller resolution and thus don't take as much time to make as my normal commissions. :D As these have faster turn-around I can offer more slots for them.
These digital sketches are drawn in and will be delivered as 72dpi .jpgs @ 600px max files.
‣ $4/P160 uncolored digital sketch. Extra characters: +$2/P80
‣ $9/P360 colored digital sketch. Extra characters: +$6.50/P260
‣ $14/P560 colored digital sketch with clean lineart. Extra characters +$8.50/P350
NORMAL MINIMUM RATES (in US Dollar and Philippine Peso)
These commissions are rendered more finely than sketch commissions and are of higher quality. Scans of traditional art and digital art files will be provided in minimum A5-size at 300dpi along with a 72dpi web version for online posting. You will receive a .jpg, .png, and PDF file.
‣ $6/P250 sketch (traditional/digital). Extra characters: +$3.5/P150
‣ $13/P520 ink (traditional). Extra characters: +$6/P250
‣ $20/P850 ink (digital). Extra characters: +$8.50/P350
‣ $17/P680 simple flat color (traditional/digital). Extra characters: +$6/P250

‣ $50/P2000 digital paint. Extra characters: +$20/P800
‣‣ Background: +$6/P250
OTHER OFFERS (MINIMUM RATES)
‣ $9/P360 colored digital icons. (You'll get 200x200px and 100x100px sizes of your icon!)
PROMO!: If you order in sets of 5 (say 10, 15, 20, 25, etc.), I could probably shave off a little bit on the total price. ;D
‣ $13/P640 inked traditional ACEO/ATC (artist trading card)
‣ $16/P640 colored traditional ACEO/ATC (artist trading card)
(More samples coming soon...!)
What's the difference between an ACEO and a normal commission?
They're the size of trading cards, roughly 2.5"x3.5", bigger than simple toon art, but a lot smaller than my normal commissions. :) They happen to be collectible, too.
PRICE NOTES
• Starting prices are usually for simple bust shots and chibis. Prices are subject to increase for more complicated requests depending on detail (ex. full body, detailed clothing, etc.)
• Flat color or simple backgrounds (ex. gradients) are free for digital works.
• If you need me to help you in planning or designing your character's design (such as working from written description/cobbling together references to create a whole character), extra fees will apply for character creation. (SAMPLE)
Shipping
• Minimum shipping fee for local Philippine clients: $2 for ACEO-sized artwork, with bubble mailer, subject to increase depending on size and weight. Please allow one-two weeks delivery.
• Minimum shipping fee for international clients: $7.50 for ACEO-sized artwork, with bubble mailer, subject to increase depending on size and weight. Please allow two-four weeks delivery.
• I can combine shipping if you're buying more than one commission.

Date: 2013-03-02 07:38 pm (UTC)The character is Ahouva; she's from the same school as Llew.
She bears quite a resemblance to Clare Danes in her My So-Called Life days - pic, pic, including pretty much a lack of smiling.
She has Hyena ears! like thus. (She also has a hyena tail & feet, but that doesn't show up in a headshot ;-)
Here's the part I can't figure out: face markings.
Like thus, spotted hyenas have dark muzzles and stripes on their cheeks/forehead. But Ahouva had a human-shaped face, so I'm not sure how the markings would work. Thoughts?
She's wearing a gold chainmaille choker with a single pendant hanging from the center, sort of like this.
She is fond of wearing a jacket like this one,, generally over something grey or black.
Good? More?

Date: 2013-03-05 02:23 pm (UTC)I'd like to let you know that this month (March-early April) is usually crunch time for the school year so things might get a bit busy. I wanted to ask if you'd still like to go ahead and order it right now, or if you'd prefer to wait a little? Either way, I'll still do my best to finish it ASAP. :)
EDIT: Gosh I hope I didn't word that wrong or made it come off the wrong way D: ! Just wanted to give a heads-up because it would be really bad of me if it suddenly took forever for me to deliver your commission because of academics and I didn't let you know it may happen beforehand. @_@ So yes, please let me know. :)
