2026 Commission Rate Sheet
All commissions are created using professional-grade materials—from classic ink and brushwork on heavyweight cardstock to vibrant full-color mixed-media pieces featuring gouache, paint markers, colored pencils, and spray paint.
What I Create
Sword & Sorcery & Dark Fantasy: Savage warriors, monsters, damsels, and high-adventure scenes inspired by classic pulp and indie comic traditions.
Comic Homages & Re-creations: Classic splash pages, legendary cover homages, and tribute pin-ups (Jack Kirby, Sal Buscema, Harry G. Peter, and more).
Original Character Designs: Turn your tabletop RPG characters, indie comic heroes, or personal concepts into original artwork.
Pop Culture & Character Portraits: Detailed portraits rendered in graphite, rich inks, or dramatic colored pencil on dark or light stock.
