Portraits - $60-$90
A loose and sketchy, lightly-stylized bust or shoulders-up drawing of an animal, on a colored-textured background with optional decorative elements. Perfect for real-life pets, original characters, or just showcasing your favorite animal species or breed. Basic Portraits, a single-subject with no additional elements will usually be $60. Decorative Portraits (examples coming soon) include plants, foods, pet toys, or other themed items or design elements helping to frame the animal. These start at $70 and increase based on detail/complexity. Scenic Portraits like the dogs below would typically run $70-$80, depending on complexity of the animal's coloration/design and complexity of the background. |
Full-Bodies - $70-$100
All of the portrait styles can be adapted to full-body drawings as well. This usually adds $10-$15 to the price, though it may be more for complex designs or the need for more/larger design elements. I also specifically offer "natural history inspired" art in the same style as my 2023 #AvianAugust drawings, starting at $80. These feature some (semi-legible) text, either a species' scientific name, the character's name, or something else of your choice, accompanied by a decorative flourish. They will usually include a bit of plant life as well. |
Traditional (non-digital) artwork
I typically do not create traditional art on commission anymore unless you're a returning client or friend. If you are one or both of those things and interested, feel free to inquire! Just keep in mind that I prefer to keep them pretty simple, to work at a small scale (5x7" or below), and the turnaround time can be much slower.

Looking for something else?
Standardized commission types help clients know what they're getting and make my workflow a little smoother. That said, I'm totally open to working outside of those set styles. Send me an email and let me know what kind of art you have in mind. If you'd like something in a similar vein to other art I've posted, or you've got a stick-figure concept sketch, that's all super helpful to make sure we start on the same page! |
Interested? Email me at hello@asterwild.com - and put "Commission" in the subject line so I don't miss it!
In your email, please include a basic description of the kind of artwork you'd like, the style name as listed above (e.g. "scenic portrait") if applicable, plus any special requests such as completion by a certain date (usually doable, but may incur a rush fee). You can send reference images right away or wait until replying to my follow-up, which I'll send you as soon as possible with an estimated price and any further questions. Once the details have been ironed out, I'll give the final price. If all's good, I'll send the invoice, and begin the art after you've paid.

I have the right to decline any commission, for any reason, at my discretion. By commissioning any type of artwork from me, you agree to the following:
- You are free to use your commissioned artwork online non-commercially (including but not limited to use as icons and banners on personal social media, covers for playlists, on character websites, etc). Text credit and/or links back to me are appreciated whenever possible.
- You may print your commissioned piece for your own personal use as much as you desire.
- You may print your commissioned piece for family and/or friends in small quantities. Please ask me first if you plan on distributing to 10+ individuals.
- You may not sell, mass reproduce, or be compensated in any way (with real currency, physical goods, digital goods, game currency, crypto currency, etc.) for your commissioned piece.
- I may use your commissioned piece in my own portfolio, promotional material, etc but will not re-sell in any way without your prior knowledge and agreement.
- I retain the copyright to artwork that has been commissioned.
Payment Process
Payment is taken via Paypal invoice unless an alternative is needed. Please request alternative payment methods or payment plans upfront.
- Payment is required after I confirm your order, before I will begin drawing your commission.
- I require at least half to be paid upfront, with the rest required after sketch approval.
- The first half is non-refundable. If you pay in full upfront and ask for cancellation at the time of sketch approval, you will receive a refund for half of your payment. If I am unable to complete your commission as expected, you'll receive a full and total refund.
- For commissions totaling over $200, payment plans can be made if requested.
Artwork Revisions
- Unless otherwise specified, you will have the option to view the sketch and request changes before final line art and coloring is begun. You will have two chances to review and request changes. Any further reviews may require an extra fee.
- After art has been completed, please request any revisions within one week. Revisions after that period will have an increased fee.
- Within the week, you may request up to three minor revisions at no charge. This includes changes such as color alteration, modifying facial expressions, or other slight changes that require little to no redrawing.
- If you request a revision that requires major redrawing, such as significantly changing a pose, clothing, or background element, there will be an extra fee. This starts at 25% of the original price and increases depending on the amount of redrawing necessary.
- If I have made a mistake, such as leaving out something that was visible in references or clearly stated in your text description, please let me know as soon as possible. I will correct my mistakes at no charge. If it was a mistake on your part or a miscommunication, I will try to come up with a solution that requires minimal redrawing or offer a fix at a discounted redraw fee.
