For the next couple months I will be open for personal commissions! If you're interested, either note me or send me an email at shanahan.katie(at)gmail.com.  For commercial work please contact me at shanahan.katie(at)gmail.com

All prices are in CANADIAN dollars. Please indicate at the start if you'd like me to mail you the original inked drawing. This will add an extra $5.00 for shipping.

A note about the original drawing: My originals are hand inked on top of a light-coloured printed sketch using orange col-erase pencil, pentel pocket brush (and/or a paintbrush and Speedball Super Black india ink) prismacolor premier marker, pentel fine point correction pen on Strathmore smooth bristol (acid free):


SMALLER COMMISSIONS:

Icons/busts B&W - $20.00 each



Icons/busts COLOUR - $35.00 each



REGULAR COMMISSIONS (on 9x12 bristol):

Single Character, little to no environment B&W inked: $65.00+


Single Character, little to no environment (or a simple colour swatch), digital colour: $90.00+


Full illustration (one character with full environment): $200+


Additional characters: Add $50+


INFO ON PRICING, PAYMENT METHODS, and REVISIONS (the boring but important bits!):

The above set of prices is JUST a guide, they are not set in stone! Prices for each individual piece will vary based off the complexity and time needed.  As the artist I hold the right to charge appropriately for my time and skills.  Changes in price apply to intricately designed or mechanical characters, complexity of posing if more than one character is involved in a piece,  or environments that are more detailed and difficult, such as urban backgrounds.

All prices are in Canadian dollars. I accept payment through paypal and personal cheques. For personal cheques I need to wait until the cheque clears before beginning your commission. I'll email you as soon as I receive and am able to access your cheque. Please email me if you have any questions!

I request that full payment be made upfront as I've been burnt in the past by the rare vanishing commissioner. I do not accept art trades or gift trades. Cold hard cash only please!

I have the right to refuse a commission if the subject matter makes me a little too uncomfortable to draw (overly sexual or crazily violent images). If I know I won't have fun with a piece then it's better for the both of us that I decline.

At each stage of your commission (thumbnails, sketch, ink, colour) I allow one round of revisions where you can let me know everything you'd like me to change to get your commission to a place you are totally happy with! If you request multiple do-overs and revisions we can work that out at an extra fee to be discussed if the need arises.

I'll be posting the final drawing (with a watermark) online for portfolio purposes, but please let me know if you'd like me to hold off in the case of commissioning an image as a surprise gift.

The last time I opened commissions I got swamped like crazy! To ensure that I'm up to date with everyone interested I'll be accepting commissions in 10 commission chunks (everyone after that will be added to my waiting list). If you're in one of my top 10 commission slots it will take me from 1-2 weeks to finish your commission depending where you are in line and how complex your commission is. Let me know if there is a pressing time frame you need your commission by (like a gift for that certain special someone) and I'll work to get yours done as quickly as possible!  I won't ask for payment until you're in my top 10.


WHAT TO SEND WITH YOUR COMMISSION REQUEST!:

Please give me a detailed description (and photo reference if available) of the character and posing you'd like me to draw, and let me know whether you'd like the drawings to be in a more cartoony or more "serious" style!
(cartoony)
(more "serious")
