Name: Mishi

Details: Commission status: Closed

If you'd like me to do a drawing for you, then please send me an email at mishi@alstudios.net with as much detail as you can. The more information you can give me, the more likely I am to do something that is close to what you're thinking of. Otherwise, I'll use my own intepretation (which, if that's what you want me to do, is fine). I will aim to get your commission done as quickly as I can, of course. As far as style goes, I can either draw in anime/manga style, or a slightly more realistic style. Please tell me which one you'd prefer when you place your commission. [1] and [2] are examples of anime/manga style. [3] and [4] are the more realistic style.

Samples and Prices:
Pencil Lineart:
One character, and no background: £3-5
Examples:[1][2]
For a simple background, add £1. For a detailed background, add £2.
Examples:[3][4]
An additional character will cost £2 extra.

Coloured Work:
Images can be computer coloured digitally, in either soft shaded or cell style, or traditionally, using either watercolours or markers. Again, please tell me what you'd prefer when you place your commission.As a guide, [6] was done in markers, and [8] in watercolours. The rest of the coloured images were done in Photoshop
One character, and no background: £7-10
Examples:[5][6][7]
For a simple background, add £2.
Examples:[8][9]
For a detailed background, add £5.
Examples:[10][11][12][13]
An additional character will cost £3 extra.

I will give you a complete price before I start work on a commission.

Notes:
I'm stronger in drawing people and animals than I am in drawing machinery or mecha, although if you wish me to I will try my best. References make this much easier for me. As far as nudity goes, I don't have a problem with drawing it. Neither do I have a problem with drawing romance, be it heterosexual, shounen-ai or shoujo-ai. However, I'm usually reluctant to draw hardcore scenes. Email me and we can discuss it, but I may well decline.
Anthropomorphic furries are also something that isn't my strong point, although again, I will try if you wish (note that animal ears and tails on a character aren't a problem whatsoever - it's full anthro that I have more difficulty with). I'd also rather not work from photographic references of real-life people - especially for anime/manga style pieces. It's hard to translate successfully from a realistic photograph to a stylised artform.
When you place a commission with me, I'll sketch out a rough drawing first. This will be emailed to you, and if you are happy, this is when I'll ask for payment (details below). Once I've received payment for the piece, I'll begin working on the refinement and colouring of the piece, which I'll then email to you when complete.
I retain the right to use the images on my own website for display purposes (although I will watermark them so as to prevent theft.

What you will get:
A digital, high resolution version of the artwork emailed to you. If you wish a printed hard copy of the image too, email me and we'll talk.

Payment: Right now, I accept payment by Cheque or Postal Order (UK only please! International Money Orders cost far too much to cash!) or, if I know you in person, I can take cash by hand. I'll also accept gift vouchers from Amazon (these must be for amazon.co.uk), Forbidden Planet or Borders. I intend to eventually take money via Paypal too, but that's not available for now. Sorry to those of you outside the UK :/

Contact: If you want to commission me, or ask a question I haven't covered here, please email me at mishi@alstudios.net
