Hey BSFS! 

For those of you who know me, you know that not only do I write sci-fi and fantasy, but I also do artwork -most of it being of characters and places in my stories.  If you check out some of the picture postings on my page, you'll see some of my work, and if you've been following my webcomic, Wild Space Saga, then you've gotten a pretty good taste of it.  

So, I'm writing this because I'm offering commission work.  I've decided that my money needs require that I start plying my trade.  I offer commission work IRL as well, but of course the curse of the artist prevails (people balk once they realize you want them to pay you for your work).  So I'm hoping I can get some offers here on DA. 

I'm best at drawing characters; as you can see in my gallery, that's my strong suit.  I recommend you peruse my gallery in order to gauge my style before making an offer.  Unfortunately, I am not good at designing anything mechanical, so I will not accept requests for any kinds of vehicles or machines. And am only passable at drawing buildings, so I will have to consider the complexity of the design before I will accept this.

(As an aside, I'm just starting to learn how to render images using programs like Paint.net -You can see examples of those in my "My Alien Girlfriend" work on my main DeviantArt page, and my character designs in my Wild Space Saga Deviantart page  - so if you want those, we'll have to negotiate a generally higher price.)

Otherwise, my standard charges are as follows.  I charge $20 for black and white images (inked with shading by pencil), and $50 for color images (color pencil or Copics, though I am more skilled with color pencils), with $10 in advance for b&w and $20 in advance for color.  If a request goes outside of my comfort zone, I may charge more, but that is negotiable.  

I will accept 5 commissions (1 per person, please) this month with a deadline of May 20th for submissions, or until the quota is full -whichever comes first.  This is all I can do in a reasonable amount of time.  

So if you would like me to do a commission, please contact me here, or by e-mail at khyron20@gmail.com.  Thank you very much for your time, and I hope to get your patronage!
