I reserve the right to refuse any commission request if necessary.

I am a technical writer and editor first. This means that I'm short on time and it is valuable to me. I also value my work and promise high quality.

I specialize in anthro art, creature design, and character costume design. If you are interested in a particular style/design, please specify what kind and supply references images (if available) with your inquiry. I will not create any morally questionable images (yiff, hentai, etc.)

I tend to work large in digital images (for print purposes), oils and pastels.

I work with medium-sized images in sketches, colored pencil, pastel and marker.

if you want a certain size, please specify in your inquiry.

Before I commit to a project, I require the following information of my client:

Email, phone number and address.

Age: If you are under 18, you must supply contact information for your parents.

I have the right to contact the parents of an under-aged client to ensure that their children are able to pay for the commission.

It is the client's responsibility to pay shipping for traditional images.

Creatures/Characters in commissioned images are copyrighted to Ginger Cooley (unless the character already belongs to client and I have permission to reproduce it).

My commission images cannot be reproduced without my consent. (The purpose of the commission will be discussed during inquiry process and exceptions are generally made.)

I will not re-create a copyrighted image or character without consent of its creator.

I am not work for hire. In other words: What I create is still copyrighted to me unless the character already belongs to the client. If the image will be used for commercial purposes, we will discuss this during the inquiry process.

All prices are in U.S. dollars. If you currency is foreign, send the correct amount equal to the listed U.S. prices.

All listed prices are base prices and are subject to change.
(*Denotes price dependent on complexity.)

I require that 1/2 the total price be paid up front, and the second 1/2 upon completion.

I will not go beyond the preliminary/concept stage of a commission until the 1/2-up-front fee is paid.

I will not ship the original image (traditional) or hand over the full-sized image (digital) until I receive full payment.

I accept paypal and it is the easiest way to make transactions.
My paypal is sunstamp@gmail.com.

If you do not have paypal, we can discuss other means of payment.

Gratuities are appreciated (but not required).
