These tiers are a guide. Every request is different, so the price I quote may fall between tiers or outside them.

Companies, studios and brands

Commercial Work

The prices above are for personal commissions only. Work commissioned by a company, a studio, a publisher or a brand is commercial work, and it is quoted per project.

That covers things like cover art, key art, promotional and marketing illustration, game and film work, and anything that will be sold or used to sell something.

If the painting is just for you, it’s a personal commission, whatever the subject.

Starting at$4,000

The final quote depends on the scope, the usage rights and the deadline.
