Hi! I decided to up my prices this year since I have changed my style a lot, and have actually paid more attention to how long it takes me to do things... and I also haven't really changed my prices since 2017.
I take PayPal / Venmo and points! Dollar amounts are all in USD. Point prices factor in how many points get deducted when I turn them into actual currency, which is +100 on the 100 points per dollar for prices under 3400 points and +200 for prices above that (since you can only send 3500 points at a time).
Prices are all base prices for simple characters.
Accessories, complex characters, original species, NSFW and other characters will cost more.
I am only taking commissions for MLP pony characters at this time.
I may consider drawing creatures similar to ponies, but I am not confident in taking money for art of anything except ponies (or their derivative species, like hippogriffs) for now.
For more examples, please check out my Instagram or Twitter since I post more on those platforms!
sketch: $3 | 400 points
lineart: $6 | 700 points
flat color: $12 | 1300 points
shaded: $21 | 2200 points
background: $27 | 2800 points
colored lines: +$5 | 600 points
sketch: $3 | 400 points
lineart: $8 | 900 points
flat color: $16 | 1700 points
shaded: $28 | 2900 points
background: $36 | 3800 points
colored lines: +$7 | 800 points
sketch: $5 | 500 points
lineart: $10 | 1100 points
flat color: $20 | 2100 points
shaded: $35 | 3600 points
background: $45 | 4700 points
colored lines: +$10 | 1100 points
Scenes with one character (shaded) begin at $60 / 6200 points. The price can vary from the base considerably, so please note me with what you would like for a proper quote.
Reference sheets are one of my favorite things to work on! A basic reference sheet starts out at $60 / 6200 points and includes: two flat fullbody views with colored lines, one shaded headshot with colored lines, blurb, color reference and cutie mark vector. You may add anything you would like to the reference, and if you would like something more simple than the "basic reference sheet," then I am happy to work out a price for you!
I get asked about these sometimes, so if they're something you're interested in, the price begins at $5 | 600 points for a fullbody base edit and moves up from there. If you're interested in something specific, please let me know and we can discuss!
Obviously, these will only be done on bases whose creators allow for commission work to be done with their bases.
I am only taking commissions for pony characters at this time. This includes: alicorns, earth ponies, pegasi, unicorns, changelings, hippogriffs/seaponies, pony hybrids, and original species with pony bases. If you would like some other kind of creature in the background or if your character is reasonably pony-like, we can discuss.
I can work off of written references for characters just as well as visual ones. If you have a written or traditional reference of your character, please have digital colors for me. These can come as hex codes, RGB values or color palettes.
I can also alter things from your character's current reference: different hairstyles, colors, etc. If you want new colors, please come ready with hex codes, RGB values or color palettes.
I am not a character designer. As such, I will not be taking commissions for customs or redesigns unless you explicitly know what you want them to look like (basically, a written description).
Complex characters will cost more. "Complex" takes into account hairstyle, colors and any special anatomy (ie: extra limbs, original species traits, etc). Accessories will also cost more depending on complexity.
Sexual NSFW art is available at a higher price. I am happy to work with fetish art as well as basic scenes. Just let me know what you're looking for, and we can discuss pricing! I will draw most fetishes with the exception of explicitly showing scat.
Half of the payment must be sent before I begin for pieces that are lined. For sketches, I require all the payment upfront. At the sketch stage, the other half of the payment will be required before continuing.
Any changes done after the lineart step that require more than thirty minutes' time will incur charges depending on the time it takes me to implement the change at a rate of $15/hr. Additionally, you may have three changes in the sketch before I begin charging $3 for a headshot or bust or $5 for a fullbody per additional sketch after three.
It is your right as a commissioner to inquire upon progress at any time; however, please be mindful that art is not my full-time job and that there are likely people ahead of you. Your art will not be finished within a week-- I typically finish commissions within one or two months. I do send progress along the way to ensure I am doing everything correctly and to have your input.
If you have a specific deadline, communicate this to me before you pay. I have an irregular work schedule due to chronic illness; I may not be able to make a deadline, and I often do not take works on a deadline. If you have a deadline and properly communicate this to me, it may cost more depending on how far out it is. A deadline of two weeks will cost you extra; a deadline of two months may not, but do keep in mind that I likely will not take your commission on a tight (less than one month) deadline. If you have a deadline and only inform me after I have started work, I will either refund you or charge double the extra charge I normally would.
If you need a refund, let me know! I do give full refunds if I have not started work; however I will not refund the full amount if I have already started on your piece. How much you get back will be determined by how far in a work I have gotten; for example, if you ordered a fullbody flat colored piece ($20) and I was at the sketch stage, you would get $15 back. You will also receive the art at whatever stage it is in at the time of refund.
You may not claim the art as your own, nor may you remove my signature from it. It may also not be used for commercial purposes unless we have discussed beforehand.
You are welcome to repost the art elsewhere, but please credit me as the artist. I have accounts across social media as OverlordPony, so tag me on the platform if possible!
I know some people are a bit nervous about reaching out for art. That's fine, I am too! I know some of the more clinical wording of terms can be a bit intimidating-- it is just that way to be as concise and clear as possible. So long as you're polite, all will be well, I promise! Don't stress out about filling something out wrong or anything like that, I completely understand we're all human and can miss information when we're reading things; it's no biggie!
Please note me if you want a quote or to commission. Fill out the form provided in the note for the quickest pricing. You can comment or note me any general questions, and I'll get back to you ASAP!
If you commission me and need a change in the art in some way at one of the stages I send you, please let me know as soon as possible. You will not hurt my feelings if you want me to use a different color or draw something at a different angle or whatever! I'm here to make you some neat art that you are happy with, and that means doing it the way you want.
If you're interested in a commission or a quote, please note me the following form:
Commission Type: (flatcolor fullbody / headshot sketch / etc)
Payment Method:
Character Reference(s):
Details: (include expression, poses, background ideas, etc; "whatever you want" will result in something generic, so please give me an idea of what to do!)
Anything else:
(please remove words in parentheses!)
I look forward to working with you! <3
