general info

Some general things to know before inquiring for a commission:

  • Before I start working, I might require a down payment and/or the signing of a short contract to define the terms.
  • I accept payments in euro via Paypal. 
  • My commissions are always and invariably high-resolution digital images, regardless of the medium used to create them. You will receive the artwork either via email or via a Dropbox link.
  • I'll maintain some creative freedom to interpret your concept according to my style, artistic sensibility and skill level;
  • I will also retain the right to refuse a commission if I'm too busy at the moment or if I consider it incompatible with my artistic skills or style or if I'm uncomfortable with the subject;
  • Once I've accepted a commission, I'll show you some sketch options (usually a couple drafts to choose between);
  • After this, I proceed to the final version (I don't send work-in-progress updates, aside from specific situations);
  • If needed, some slight touches or tweaks to the final version can be done; however, significant changes that involve repainting entire portions or deviate from the approved draft will require an additional fee.

booking a commission

Mail to claudia.crf [at] hotmail.it with the following info:  

  • the type of commission / pricing range you're selecting (1 or 2);
  • a brief description of your idea (example: a young girl with a balloon sitting below a tree; a cloaked man riding a wolf; a simple portrait of Character X in Y pose; etc.). Visual references are welcome, as well as generic descriptions of poses/clothes/scenery, or synopses of the story behind the image;
  • the intended purpose (personal or commercial use; if commercial, please let me know something about your project, or link me to your website or social accounts);
  • the deadline, if there is one;
  • any other information you think I should know in advance;
  • I will let you know about my availability and if I can accept the commission.

NOTE: since I have several projects going on and a waiting list, it's crucial you inquire for a commission well in advance before your deadline (3-4 months earlier is ideal).

pricing

The fees listed in this page are indicative. The actual price will be set individually for each commission, depending on:

  • the level of realism (i.e. whether you're striving for a photorealistic "polished" look, or a more painterly look);
  • the amount of details and complexity;
  • the presence of additional elements (extra characters, objects, details, specific clothing and poses, full figures, a scenery/landscape instead of a plain background)

I will be able to discuss the actual pricing of the artwork only after I have collected all the information I need.
