Indeed, I do charge money for this. No one's twisting your arm here. Well, no one that's on my payroll, at any rate. Payment will be collected via PayPal Payment Request, which means I'm gonna need your email address, and you'll need a PayPal Account.

The total price for any given design will vary depending on a number of factors, including but not limited to the estimated time it will take me to finish it, the detail involved, and how far removed it is from my typical style (if you give me long enough, I'll find a way to duplicate just about any style or technique, but some things do come much more naturally to me, and the price reflects that.) Depending on all factors involved, prices typically vary anywhere from $20 to $80, and on rare occasions higher. A small additional charge for shipping will be added should you desire the actual physical drawing itself (the hardcopy.) I do design these works with the thought of displaying the hardcopy, and the detail and quality will reflect that. However, while the digital image may be in full color, these hardcopies are almost always black and white, either pen and ink or pencil shading, or a combination of both.

If for some reason I cannot complete your design request and you've paid a deposit, I'll let you know as promptly as possible. However, if I invest my time and effort and produce the design in accordance with the specifications we've agreed upon and you simply decide you've changed your mind or you don't like the piece, I will display your design with all my other images, and probably make it available for download full size through deviantART or any other site I want, and while you're under no obligation to pay the outstanding balance towards the product, you will not receive said product unless the remaining balance is paid.

It's worth mentioning that if you decide not to complete the purchase of the requested design, even though it may have been your idea to begin with, full ownership of the design will revert to me to do with as I please. I promise you if you commission a piece and do not follow through with your end of the agreement, the art I produce from your concept will be openly displayed as a piece up for grabs for anyone that wants it.

Getting the ball rolling isn't that complicated. Submit a commission form stating basically what it is you want. The more specific you are, the faster this part of the process will be, and you can even upload a sketch or any source material you want me to draw reference from. Additional information, such as what the design's intended for is always helpful.

Once I receive the request, I'll email you with any questions about the design I have and tell you what my thoughts are regarding the instructions, just to make sure we're on the same page.

From that point, I start working on the finished piece, and I'll notify you when I've completed it. In the event I have multiple commissions on order at once, you're design will be done roughly in the order it was received. I may on occasion skip one project and work on the next, mostly because although I can force a design if I need to, they're always much better if I let it come when it wants. Sometimes I find the best thing I can do for the integrity of the design is take a little break and work on something else for a while. After a break, I can return to your project and let everything fall into place as it may, and everyone will be happier with the finished product as a result.

Upon completion of your commission, I'll notify you via the email. I'll send you a sample of the finished design, typically a small, low-res copy for your approval. After that you'll be sent a PayPal payment request, and upon receipt, I will upload and email you a high-res finished copy of your commission, as well as get the hardcopy in the mail for you if that service was requested.

 Everything goes off without a hitch, and everyone ends up happy. At least, that's the plan. In the event you are totally dissatisfied with my work, there are two options available to you. 1.) You can opt out of any further dealings with me, and, in the event I have not received payment, I will retain possession of and rights to the design, or 2.) You can explain to me what's wrong with the piece and I will attempt to correct the issues you've brought to my attention. Should such correction require an overhaul of the entire design (basically, if I need to start over from the beginning,) I will. Understand this option will take time, and I'll only jump through a hoop once.

In case you were wondering, the speed of light is roughly 186,000 miles per second. This is the figure the "c" in Einstein's famous equation represents. That's useful information, isn't it? Well, educational information at any rate. Fine, fine... I'll see if I can find a recipe for some cookies. Will that make you happy? Needy little whiners...

Chocolate Chip Cookies

You will need the following ingredients, as well as a large bowl and spoon for mixing and at least 2 baking sheets. And an oven. Don't be an idiot, they aren't gonna bake themselves.

Combine dry ingredients, set aside. Cream butter, sugars and vanilla. Beat in eggs. Gradually add flour mixture. Stir in chocolate chips. Bake on ungreased cookie sheets at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes.
Makes 100 - 2" cookies.

This is the recipe my mom uses, so I know they're good. If you make them and they don't turn out well, it was obviously your fault somehow.
