HELLO AND WELCOME TO EiffelArt!
Most likely, you have been redirected here from one of my omnipresent links or forum signatures. I certainly hope, if I may presume, that you are dropping by to check out what sorts of works I offer on commission (and, no doubt, the prices which go along with said commissions).
I am pleased to say that my illustration rates are some of the most most reasonable you can find on the net. I work on almost any sort of job, both large and small, with prices ranging from $40 all the way up to $250.
I'll explain on this page how the basic price scheme works, but I should note that all prices are negotiable. I try my hardest to find solutions for all sorts of budgets. :)
How To Commission
It couldn't be easier! :)
Simply send an email to eiffelart(at)gmail.com with the subject line "COMMISSION". Write exactly what you would like in the picture, including these important key points:
CLICK ON THE TEXT FOR EXAMPLES! ;)
Background/ no background
number of characters
color or no color
full body shot or not
If you'd like me to draw one of your original characters, I will need references (picture reference, preferably, but I will also accept lengthy, heavily detailed written descriptions). Writing something like "My Character looks like Naruto, but different. :/" is not good enough. ;)
After I recieve your email, I'll send back an estimate of the price, as well as the estimated date of completion. If we agree on the price, I'll begin the project.
You can then do one of two things: Wait until I send you the 'completion of commission' email and then send the money, or send the money and recieve the commission as soon as I finish it.
What I Do / Don't Draw
The easiest way to see what sorts of styles I work in is to visit one of my galleries:

Here you can browse around and get a feel for my work. Of course, like any artist, I'm constantly expanding my repertoire, so feel free to bookmark the sites for later perusal!
My most proficient artistic ability (and the one with which I am most often associated) is giving my illustrations a professional anime cel-style quality. Drawing and painting original (as well as fan) characters into scenes that appear to be straight out of popular animated T.V.
I also have certain content and style restrictions. These are things with which I either cannot or will not do. You should feel free, however, to please ask me, if you are unsure.
Content:
Nudity, Pornographic content, Extreme violence
Styles:
Mech suits, overly-stylized caricatures
Payments And Deliveries
Once we figure out how much your illustration will cost, I will begin work on it. I can send along sketches, if you prefer, so that you can request changes.
Once you are satisfied with the sketch, payment can be made (see PayPal address at the bottom of this section) and the work will be completed and sent.
Your emailed delivery will contain the following:
Full-resolution version of your commission
Web-sized version
*.PSD Photoshop file (on request)
Original sketch version
Any other sketches related to your commission that I make
A wallpaper sized version (up to 1600x1200) (on request)
My preferred method of payment is PayPal (eiffelart(at)gmail.com). You can use funds either from your PayPal balance, or a credit/debit card.
Prices
All prices are negotiable (however I have a minimum of $40). All prices are in USD (United States Dollars).
Base fee: $40
Background: $20-$30
Character(s) (full body): 1 = $10
Character(s) (semi-body): 1 = $7
I begin with these set prices and adjust for other factors such as complexity of the piece and color.
Feel free to send along any and all questions you may have about my commissions. I look forward to working with you in the future! ;)
