tl;dr: 

  • For Patrons only! Only in the form of a prompt at this point, no long descriptions or original characters.
  • Payment can be split (usually half up front, half after the lineart is finished).  Other payment plans can be worked out.
  • You let me run with it: only minor changes during the sketching stage, none after the lineart. 
  • Rights: I can sell prints. You can't monetize the image but post it anywhere you want. :) 


I can take up to two new commissions at this point! First come, first serve. Just send a note! 


The long version/fine print: 

Payment must be complete before I start colouring.
PayPal preferred (paypal.me/jennydolfenart). Please set the currency to Euros! PayPal lets you do that.
if you live in Germany, Überweisung is fine. I'll let you know my bank details by mail.

When you commission art from me, you will always get the final, original piece.

Workflow:
- Send me a prompt of what you'd like (character(s), size, colour or pencil, level of detail) and we'll agree on a price and time frame. Prompt means that you don't send long descriptions, but you can give me the feel you want for the piece. Prompt also means you basically let me run with it.
- Once the payment has been made, I'll send you a digital sketch of the picture.
- When you're happy with the sketch, I get to work on the lineart. I show you that as well, at which time you can still ask for minor changes.
- I'll talk about colours with you to make sure we're thinking similar moods and colours for the piece. I'll show you works in progress if it's a complex piece, but changes should be the exception at this stage. Please note that I can make practically no changes in a finished watercolour image.
- I finish the piece, post it to my online galleries, AND send the finished original painting to you, well protected in a sturdy cardboard envelope, usually insured (we'll fix a price for that, as well as any matting or framing you'd like me to do.)

(Book) Fandom characters: Please note that, for commissions, I will stick to my own vision of characters (the ones you'll find in my galleries). I may be open to small concessions, but I will not draw actors (apart from Adam Driver or Eddie Redmayne or Matt Smith or Jodie Whitaker or...). And I'm very strictly canon, but you probably knew that. XD

A few notes on rights: The standard for most of my commissions is as follows: I retain the rights for the image I created for you. That means that I may still offer prints, and I can add the work to my portfolios, online and otherwise, and may put it into artbooks and calendars promoting my own work. For anything else, I'll ask your permission. I'll never use a picture I did for you out of context, for example by licensing it to a publisher for a book they want to illustrate.
Likewise, you're allowed to post the piece (with crediting and linking me, of course) and use it for non-commercial purposes. You do not have permission to make money with it without asking me first, unless it was specifically made as book cover, game art, or similar. For example, if I drew a pic of your character, and at some point you write a novel about that character and publish it, you may not use my art as cover. On the other hand, if you commissioned me to do a novel cover for you, of course, then it's a novel cover, with all the rights entailed. If you're unsure about any sort of use, just ask. Usually, we should be able to sort anything out.

Where do I send the prompt? Will you reply with the total price so I know how much to send by paypal?

Jenny Dolfen

Yes, we can work it all out - best send me either a note through Patreon, or an email! The list here should give you a good idea what you can get for what price. :)

Anjuschka

You do framing as well? My goodness, don't tempt me. :p ... As for the actors - you forgot Eddie Redmayne. ;)

Jenny Dolfen

Ha! Yes. ;) My framing definitely is not up to any industry standard. I think I have a good eye for what goes well with my paintings, and I have some nice frames here, but a professional framer is going to do better work! ... unless he sits in Jülich. In that case, I do better work. *glares at Jülich framers who crippled the "Wardens of the North". I hope they didn't do any permanent damage.

Masa

Yay. My mica dragon needs a companion ;)

Litsen

Oh! I wish I could afford it! Maybe next Christmas... !

Ninchen

SO very tempting ...

Jenny Dolfen

I'm full again for the time being! I'll let you all know when I have free slots again. :)
