My commission process
I require a down payment of one third of the agreed upon price
for any commission over $20 before I will do any preliminary work on your
commission.
(This may be refunded if the commission is terminated by either party before
work has begun.)
After the down payment is received, I will do a preliminary sketch of your
commission and scan if for your
approval. I will be willing to make up to three revisions of the image in
order to fix anything that you do not like for no additional charge. After this point, further changes
will be an additional charge, so please make sure that the sketches are exactly
how you want them.
Once the preliminary sketches have been approved, payment of
the another third of the full price of the commission is required before I will
proceed. Once payment is received, I will continue to work on your commission
and send progress reports.
When it finished, I will send you a scan of the
commission for your final approval. (Please remember than anything other than
very minor changes at this point is extra.) After final approval, I require
payment for the final third of the commission price before I will ship your
image.
Prices and examples
All commissions except for con badges are 9 x 12", unless requested larger.
Additional fees may be applicable for larger images, since this means using more
of my art supplies and more time to complete the image.Shipping is additional. Please see
the chart under payment and shipping information.
Icon and graphics pricing is available
here.
-
Background is defined here
as anything more complex than a simple gradation of color/shading for a
backdrop. With a simple background, there may be a piece of furniture, a
shape or border as a backdrop to the character. A complex background
creates an environment with which the character interacts. Night scenes are
automatically a complex background.
-
Excessive detail, such as
extra limbs or complicated patterns on characters or extremely complex
backgrounds may be an additional charge.

Subject matter and
limitations
No mature content! This means no erotic,
homoerotic, or fetish art. I can do romantic or sexy, but I draw the line at any sexually explicit nudity
or sexual acts. Cheesecake and tasteful pinups are fine; money shots
are not. Artistic nudity may be acceptable, depending on the circumstances.
Please ask first.
Smoking and alcohol are fine, as long as
the character isn't underage; illegal drugs are not.
Violence: Characters holding weapons
or fighting is fine, although I don't feel I draw these well. No
entrails, gore, hate crimes, or sexual violence. This includes nothing
hateful to any race, religion, sexuality, or group.
No copyrighted characters (i.e. Disney),
for legal reasons. The character must either be yours, or you must
have the express written consent of the original creator of the character.
If you want to commission original artwork using one or more of my characters,
that's probably okay. Just ask.
No computer colored images, with the exception
of web graphics. I just don't feel right about not being able to
send you anything except a print or an e-mail.
Humans, non-anthropomorphic animals, and/or
fantasy creatures are perfectly acceptable.
Machinery and technology are not something
that I feel I draw well. If you commission me to do something involving
these things it is at your own risk.
Drawing in another style: I will not attempt
to replicate someone else's style. No anime please!
I will not matte or frame your artwork
for you. With shipping costs, it's more cost effective for both parties involved if you
have it done yourself.
Please, no rush orders. I finish commissions
in the order that I receive them. It may take me awhile to finish
your piece. If you need a piece done by a certain date, please let me know
when you need it by. I recommend that you order
at least three months ahead of that date to allow for any backlogged
art I may have and for any unforeseen circumstances. If I'm rushed,
I can't guarantee the quality of my work.

Legal Information
I reserve the right to refuse a commission
I do not wish to do for any reason, be it legal or personal.
By submitting a commission, you fully accept
that even though you may own the character concept and name, the finished
artwork and all in progress versions of the artwork are copyrighted to
Kayleen Connell. You may display the finished artwork on your webpage,
but may not reproduce it in any way, shape, or form without express permission
from the artist. I reserve the right to sell commissions that aren't paid for, even though the character
belongs to you. I reserve the right to make prints or other
merchandise of all commissioned artwork. If you want to purchase the rights to reproduce
the artwork or the exclusive right to the artwork, there will be an additional
negotiable charge. Please, no returns or exchanges on artwork.
Since there are ample opportunities to make changes to the image before
it is completed, if you request that a commission be redone, you will be
charged for another commission. If the commissioner terminates a commission
or disappears before the drawing is finished, I reserve the right to finish the artwork
and sell it at my own discretion. I reserve the right to change my terms,
conditions and prices as needed without notice.

your commission. The prices listed are in US dollars. PayPal is preferred. Checks

shipping costs after the item is shipped.
Ordering information
Please be specific about what you would
like and include as many details as possible, within reason. (Don't
send me a novel!) Also, a description of your character's personality/profession/past
may be helpful. If there is a picture of your character available for
reference, please include its address or send it as an attachment.

kept confidential. Please provide the following information with your
