Guidelines for
Private Commissions

 

Charles accepts commissions under the following guidelines and provisions:

  • Purchase of a private commission does not include publication rights.

  • No money up front -- Payment in full is due upon acceptance but prior to delivery.
    (In the case of sketches, payment is made first.)

  • No contracts -- If you are not delighted with the finished piece, you owe nothing.

  • Once set, if Charles decides to add size or other considerations, the fee stays the same.

  • Charles tends to avoid trademarked characters.

  • Charles retains copyright of all commissioned artwork.

  • Prices for specific character studies of your role-playing game character or other personal characters will be slightly higher.
