cooley's commissions
Welcome


I AM NOW OPEN FOR COMMISSIONS. NOTE ME IF YOU ARE INTERESTED.


If you wish to commission me, I can be reached via email (iamcooley@gmail.com), or through deviantART note. I can also disclose my phone number to you after a valid request tied to a commission transaction.

Commission Status: OPEN
By commissioning me, you agree to the below terms,
and must supply the information I request.



Please Note

  • 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.


  • Client Responsibility

    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.


  • Copyright Information

  • 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.


  • Payment Methods

  • 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).

    Digital Commissions
    Digital images are created through use of either Adobe Photoshop CS3 or Corel Painter X. Photoshop images tend to be clean and crisp. Painter images tend to be rough and more traditional in appearance. Please specify which program you would prefer I use in your commission inquiry. Most images default to Photoshop, as the example images will as follows (unless specified as "from Painter.)

    Digital Commission FAQ:
    1.) If you are commissioning me to do a persona/character, please include the following with your request:
    -Character's Name
    -Species
    -Markings
    -Color Palette (if color commission)
    -Gender
    -Basic Description
    -Back-story (if any, useful for images with backgrounds)
    -Reference Images (if any)
    -Whether or not you want me to design a new outfit for them (and if so, what era/style, supply reference images if possible). Please note that complex costumes (as in intricate/extremely detailed) may push a "basic" character into an "extreme" character in terms of pricing.

    3.) If you are requesting a creature, please describe what animal(s) it is based off of, if any.
    4.) Clients will receive all files for digital commissions on disc after full payment is made.
    5.) Prints can be produced through DA's print shop. Prints for clients will be whole-sale prices while the general public will pay elevated shop prices.

    Traditional Commission FAQ:
    1.) My traditional works tend to be more surreal, and often I used mixed media.
    2.) Clients are expected to handle shipping on traditional pieces. This can be discussed via email (iamcooley@gmail.com) or DA note upon commission inquiry.
    3.) Traditional commissions (especially oil paintings) can be very time-consuming and thus take longer to complete. Traditional pieces can take anywhere from a day or two, to several weeks or months.


    Logo Commissions

    Logo Commission FAQ:
    1.) More examples of logos I've designed can be seen on my my Web site.

    Ok cool. When I have a preliminary sketch down, I will send it to you. If you like the sketch, make 1/2 the full payment via paypal to sunstamp@gmail.com When the image is complete, I will load a small version on DA. If you are pleased, you send the 2nd half of the payment and I will send the full-sized image, plus any accompanying files to finish deal :)

    Ah, make the most of what we yet may spend,
    Before we too into the Dust descend;
    Dust into Dust, and under Dust to lie
    Sans Wine, sans Song, sans Singer, and--sans End!
