Commission Information

I love doing commissions!  Its always so interesting to see and have the privilege to draw other people's characters or ideas! 

 Contact me at arania@kamiki.net.  Prices for commissions through the website are outlined below. I also occasionally post commissions on Furbid and eBay, so check out the links!
If you have any trouble reaching me through that email address (ie, if you email me and you haven't heard a response within a week), you can try me at my gmail account araniaartist(at)gmail.com

CURRENT STATUS:  (4/15/12):

Closed to New Commissions
My to-do list has gotten pretty long, so to keep things more manageable, I'm closing to new commissions.  If you've already spoken to me about a commission idea, or if you have an on-going sequence in process, this doesn't apply to you.  But if you haven't contacted me yet about an idea, if you could wait till my slots are open again, I would appreciate it :)

I have been working on freelance art pretty much as a full time job. Not much has changed since my last update here: So while I am balancing between art, other RL stuff, and continuing my education, I am trying very hard to make art a high priority.  If you are interested in a commission, please, email me and we can figure out details :)  I tend to work through my waitlists in a relatively quick manner, although if I have a lot on my plate at any given moment, I might ask you to wait a little before sending payment and working you into the subsequent batch.  But overall, the wait times are short :)

What I will do:

• Original characters

• Furries/Anthros/weres of any species

• Transformation Sequences

• Animals and fantasy critters (unicorns, dragons, etc)

• Fantasy elements including (but not limited to) elves, mermaids, centaurs, satyrs, faeries, vampires, etc.

• Any rating from G to NC-17

• Straight, yaoi (male-male), yuri (female-female), herm, or multiple partner romance

• Fan art (reference materials might be required)

• Please ask if you have any questions!

What I won't do:

• Children or non-anthro/sentient animals in sexual situations

• Mecha, machinery, or artillery.  I really can't draw these well.  If your character has weapons like guns, if you give me a few really good reference pics I'll try my best.

• "Bathroom" subjects: if it goes into the toilet I'm not drawing it.

• Very sticky, nasty, fluids-dripping-off-the-ceiling, shock-factor pornography.  I have no problem doing adult images, just try to keep it at least semi-tasteful.

• I maintain the rights to say "no" to any commission for any reason.

Please note, the prices as followed are the standard/base prices.  Complex designs of characeters, features such as wings or detailed scale or pattern work will raise the price.

~ Basic flat colors/filters/etc are free
~ Actual backgrounds run from $20-$80 based on complexity and medium
~ I am much better at outdoor/natural scenes than indoor or building/cityscapes
Simple Background Example
Medium Background Example
Complex Background Example


Tattoo Design:   
Due to the high level of precision with these pieces and the opportunity for a lot of corrections, and often vectorization of the image, these tend to run a little higher than the comnparative commission of that level.  Also, these come with exclusive rights to be the only person to use the design for your own tattoos.

- Simple Tribal-Style Tattoo [ Example ] - $50 *
- Greyscale shaded Tattoo [Example] - $70 *
- Color tattoo - no examples - inquire for price

*Prices are approximate here and may vary with a complex design or inclusion of extra designwork, etc.

Transformation Sequences*:   
    This is a wee bit special in my pricing - as they generally involve SEVERAL pages, and is a specialty of mine. (for the "examples" - substitute in the incremental numbers in the filenames to see the rest of the sequence.) 

-If you want to mix, for example, comic pages with full-page images, then we mix and match prices.  If you want a background on the full page images, negotiate with me - they are NOT my specialty, and they raise the price.

*NOTE: Complicated designs and elements such as tauric forms, wings, full body scales, complicated clothing designs/armor and the like may result in an increased price (especially if a creature with such elements is present throughout the entire sequence).  Ask me for a quote.

** = Comic form implies a sequence drawn in comic-book like panels.  As opposed to a normal full-page sequence, one feature at a time is usually emphasized for the change instead of getting a good view of the entire changing body.  HOWEVER, comic-form takes me a lot longer to draw.  At this quoted price, there is a maximum of 5 or 6 prescribed panels per page (if you are dictating to me the individual page layouts).  Of course, another option is to send me a general write-up and let me break it down into pages/panels keeping in mind the number of pages you're shooting for.  I may end up putting more than 5 panels on a page on my own accord - but in general I have a better idea of what I can or can't fit into a page ^^

***Special TF Sequence Offer:***
 For $100 flat I will draw you a no background 10 page full-page pencil tf sequence of a single character, no background.   If you want 2 characters in the sequence, it will be $150.  
I can pro-rate this (and generally offer some good deals) if you want 15,20, etc page sequences along this line.
The CATCH is that you can only give me VERY BASIC information, and the rest of the sequence is up to me.  Nothing that would require reference images or long descriptions. No scripts or page-by-page descriptions.
Designs like wings, scales, stripes, etc will probably only show up near the end of the change.

You specify:

    -  a VERY general "before": You can specify gender, long or short hair, and basic build/body type. 

    - a trigger (if you want one at all)

    - emotional reaction (pleasurable?  Fearful?  Willing? Denial? Lust? Something else? )

    - what they turn into (must involve at least animal/mythical somehow (not just transgender, inflation, etc - but can involve transgender, etc.)  No specific fursona designs that require long explanations.  Just a couple of words.

    - Up to what "rating" you are comfortable with the sequence containing - (Complete Clean, Artistic Nudity, Nudity, or Adult).

Beyond that - you give me free range to play with the sequence :).  I draw these on sketchbook paper - and you will receive digital scans. It is up to me if I add dialog/descriptions to the pages or not.

*If you want the originals, let me know ahead of time so I can use heavier quality paper.  Shipping is $10.00 anywhere in the United States for most commissions (except for extremely large quantities of them) (Via priority mail.)  If you live outside the US, contact me and we can figure out shipping, but in general will probably run in the $15 - $20 range.

*If you do not require the originals, then I reserve the right to sell the sketchbooks that contain them. 

I accept Paypal and money orders, though if you need an alternative form of payment, again, contact me and we can work out details.
