icon What I won't illustrate:
There's a few things I won't depict: sex, drug use, paganism, occult, otherkin or tattoos. I prefer not to work in digital media, having a lot more experience with traditional media.

icon The process:
Firstly, please discuss your ideas with me via e-mail. Describe the physical appearance of any figures, their posture, setting and the size of the work. The more information included, the more accurate the painting will be. Commissions are completed "first-come first-served" so if you have a deadline, please indicate this from the start.
A drawing/s will be produced from your description and e-mailed to you. You may reasonably request as many alterations to the drawing/s as you want, until you are satisfied. At this stage a deposit will be required. This is 50% of the total price, is non-refundable, and covers time, research and effort to produce the initial drawing. It may be paid in installments, though work will not commence on the painting until the deposit has been received in full.
As soon as the deposit clears, work will commence on the final artwork, and you will be regularly updated as it progresses. The estimated time of completion is three weeks depending on the size and complexity of the artwork. Very large works may take a month to paint; small works will take less than three weeks.
After completion, a jpg image will be e-mailed to you so you may preview the finished work. At this stage, the remainder of the commission fee will be due. As with the deposit this may be paid in installments. After all payments have been finalised, the completed artwork will be shipped to you.

icon Shipping:
Registered mail is included in the commission fee. A courier service may be organised instead at client expense. International airmail has an expected delivery time of 3-10 business days depending on the destination. Within Australia the expected delivery time is a few business days.

icon Copyright:
Unless purchased, copyright for the artwork is retained by me (Donna Quinn) though you retain copyright to all original characters. I may upload the work to online galleries, with credit to you if necessary. You may use your artwork for personal use such as website display or printing of a personal copy. You may not use the image for commercial purposes unless copyright or printing rights have been purchased. You may purchase full copyright for US $250, or printing rights for US $150.

If you have any questions or would like to order a commission, please contact me.
