Plan to auction off a full color illustration!
5 years ago
Letting you all know that I will soon (probably in the coming week) be auctioning off a (SFW) full color illustration, after I finish the commissions currently left on my queue.
The auction will be for a single full color illustration, to be finished ideally before the end of June. This is my regular full color commission type (which has been unavailable for a long time), meaning you get 2-4 sketches to choose from, as well as 2-4 color mock-ups and typically work-in-progress updates where you will still have the opportunity to provide feedback. In addition, unlike my "speedpainting" commissions, there will be the option of adding up to two characters. My regular TOS will apply.
The starting bid for the auction will be 800 USD.
At 1100 USD, an additional character may be added.
At 1400 USD, a third character may be added.
At 1600 USD, I will send you a large signed print of the illustration.
Payment plans are possible, though a partial upfront payment will always be required. Please note that the auction winner is not obligated to add additional characters - those are simply the amounts at which that option becomes available. I'm choosing for an auction at this time because this type of commission is a big commitment for me and an auction is the easiest way for me to ensure it is well compensated for.
I will not limit myself to any genre or subject matter but playing into my strengths is recommended. These are natural environments and organic shapes and textures, (high) fantasy and open landscapes. I enjoy storytelling, warmth, tranquility and melancholy.
Thanks for reading and please let me know if there are any questions!

How big is the commission? Is it A3, A4, A2?
My typical work sizes allow for at least A3 sized prints, a larger size can always be requested of course. Though past 10k pixels at 300dpi my PC starts to struggle a bit - so that's a consideration usually.
And did you get hired by Magic the Gathering?
I did :).
