Arania's
Commission Information

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

 Or, you can 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!

CURRENT STATUS:  (04/01/08)

No April Fools, I have been working on freelance art pretty much as a full time job while working on a career certification. 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)

• Anything not listed in the "What I Won't Do" list

What I won't do:

• Children or non-anthro 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.

*Transformation Sequences:   
    This is a wee bit special in my pricing - as they generally involve SEVERAL pages, and is quickly growing to be a special 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.

* = 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't fit into a page ^^

***Special TF Sequence Offer:***
 For $100 flat I will draw you a minimal to no background 10 page full-page pencil tf sequence of a single character. (With this special, I might add bonus pages at my discretion).  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.

You specify:

    -  a general "before" (general appearance: gender, hair-type, simple desc of clothes, build, etc,)

    - a trigger (if you want one at all)

    - emotional reaction (pleasurable?  Fearful?  Willing? Denial? Lust? Something else?  A transition from one to another?)

    - what they turn into (must involve at least animal/mythical somehow (not just transgender, inflation, etc - but can involve transgender, etc.) 

    - Up to what "rating" you are comfortable with the sequence containing - (G to NC-17).

Beyond that - you give me free range to play with the sequence :).  There must also be a somewhat significant change involved (ie - I can't do a 10 page sequence on someone just turning into a generic anime catgirl with ears and tail.)  I draw these on sketchbook paper - and would prefer to just send you scans- though if you want to pay the extra shipping I could swing sending the physical copies - but again, they are drawn on sketchbook paper and not bristol board.  You can tell me general themes/ideas you like - but the main point of this option is that this is not a scripted sequence: In general I can work through these relatively quickly and enjoyably when I don't have to stop every page and read a description ^_~.

 Examples of these include the cow-taur, skunk, female-male werewolf, and the equitaur.
  

 *All of my work (except for the Special-offer TF sequence) is done on smooth Bristol Board - a high quality, heavy art paper, generally in 9 x 12 size.

*Shipping is $6.00 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. 

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

Art Trades:

I love art trades!!  However, please don't just send me a picture in my e-mail and say "I drew your character, now draw mine!"  If you're interested in doing an art trade, please e-mail me first (please link to your online gallery, or attach some examples) and I'll get back to you with the details!  Sometimes, I get behind on commission work (as I have to give priority to commissions over trades), so don't be offended if I say "No Thanks."  Chances are, I'm just really busy and I'll get back to you when I catch up!  Of course, if you're impatient, you can always commission me, and I would greatly appreciate any gift art (especially of my original characters)!
