Commercial Commissions

Commercial Projects

What is a commercial project?  By definition this means that the end product is created to make profit for the owner. For example: Art that is put on a shirt to sell.
The shirt seller can make as many shirts as they want and sell them. The artist that created the art only gets paid once for their work.

If you plan on using my art for a commercial project, I require a licensing fee. I give up my rights to use the art for my own commercial gain in exchange for the fee. (So, if you sell shirts, I can't turn around and use the art on tank-tops and compete directly.) 

A licensing fee is negotiated between myself, the artist and the client. I prefer to use a flat percentage fee which can be broken up into a payment plan if necessary. On some occasions, I will accept a share of profits after the product ships.

I am available only to smaller projects as I prefer to keep my other commission types available and work on my own projects.

Types of Commercial Work I am Available for: 
  • Book Cover/Box Art Illustration
  • Book illustration (limit 20)
  • Visual Novel Sprites/CG Artist 
  • RPG Maker sprites
  • Promo Items: Art for t-shirts, advertising, etc
