However, feel free to ask questions about pricing, rules and guidelines here.

Commissions
Prices are based on the individual commission, but the above samples should give you an idea my rates are like.  All of the above are single character pictures.  Send me a description of what you want for a price quote.  Factors that will effect the price include:
1. Additional characters
2. Complex backgrounds
3. Complex props (Vehicles, furniture, etc)
4. Complex costume (Armor, lace, detailed patterns, etc)

Aside from the factors that increase the price, there are some that lower the price.
1. "Favored Character Status"  If you are getting a commission of one of my characters, or characters that I already enjoy drawing, I will give you a bit of a discount.  If I have pictures of the character in my gallery and the picture wasn't a commission or trade, then that character is probably on the list of ones I like drawing.
2. "Easier than I thought" Discount.  If I quote you a price and the picture turns out to be easier to finish than I expected, I may charge you less than I originally quoted.

Rules:
1. Payment is due when I finish.  I can be slow, but you're not paying for anything until it's done.  You can pay by PayPal, money order, or cash. (Personal check is ok if I know you personally)
2. Unless some prior agreement was made with you, once you pay for the image, it's yours to do with as you like.  Upload it, print it, publish it, sell copies, whatever, you don't need to ask my permission nor pay me any royalties.
3. And unless some prior agreement was made, I have the right to upload the picture to my gallery.  If the picture includes my characters, I also have the right to publish it or make/sell prints.  If it is your character, I will only publish/print it with your permission.
4. Except at conventions (see below), you are paying for digital art.  I usually draw on paper and do any coloring/editing/clean up on the computer.  Most of the time, I have no problem with giving you the paper art work if you want to pay for shipping or pick it up in person at a con, but keep in mind that picture may not look exactly the same as your commission (For example, I might draw 2 characters separately and put them together in Photoshop.  Or the page might include practice sketches, doodles or soda stains that were edited out.)

Convention/"In Person" Commissions
At a convention I can do a commission in your sketchbook or on a sheet of paper, and you are paying for the actual drawing.  I can't spend as much time on it as I do with the online commissions, and I normally only offer pencil and inked drawings as I don't carry colored markers around.  Otherwise all the rules and guidelines are pretty much the same.

Guidelines
What I will and won't draw.  Basically, if you ask for something I don't want to draw, then I just won't take the commission in the first place.  You are welcome to ask.  
But just to help you decide if it's worth asking:
1. I like girls.  The only times I've drawn guys naked or under-dressed it's been for comedic effect.  I can't draw sexy guys for you because I just don't understand the concept.
2. While I love drawing girls clothed, naked or any where in between, I don't generally draw porn (I'm not a puritan, I just don't find it very interesting since so many other people draw it all the time), and if I do it's usually something fairly tame.  Looking through my gallery will probably give you a good idea of what's ok.  
3. I won't draw my characters doing something that would be "out of character".
4. No MLP, not even as a joke.  I'm not a hater, just tired of seeing it everywhere.
5. Yes I will draw humans.  No problem.  Especially anime characters, I'm pretty good at them.

Trades:
I do occasionally do trades with people on my watchlist if I'm not busy with other stuff.  However commissions will take priority.  The same rules apply for trades.

Requests:
Request away, that doesn't mean I'll do anything.  The only way you're going to get a drawing out of me by making a request is by having an idea I like so much that I want to draw it for myself.  This does happen occasionally.", "writing": "", "writing_bbcode_parsed": "", "pools_count": 0, "title": "Commission Information", "deleted": "f", "public": "t", "mimetype": "image/jpeg", "pagecount": "1", "rating_id": "0", "rating_name": "General", "ratings": [], "submission_type_id": "3", "type_name": "Picture Series", "guest_block": "t", "friends_only": "f", "comments_count": "3", "views": "154" }
