Commissions Open

I mainly do art in the area of real life and fictional animals and scenes for genres such as speculative evolution, fantasy worldbuilding or other hobbies that involve fictional biospheres.

I won't speculate for you, but I will assist with visual design as long as you have a detailed written concept. Same for backgrounds, if you want specific plant species or details (or don't want something), please say so.

I am not a paleo artist or a palaeontologist. I will fulfil requests for prehistoric artwork as accurately as my knowledge will allow, but please bear in mind that they are for entertainment only and should not be used for educational purposes.

Throughout the process of producing your artwork I will keep in communication with you and show you early rough sketches and previews so that you can provide input and have some control over the process.

Flora or fauna subjects without scenery backgrounds

Single Creatures (Can be animal or non-animal including plants and microbes):

For all works please specify if you would like outlined or lineless art. Single creatures will generally be between 1000x1000 and 2000x2000 pixels. Please specify if you would like an exact size.

Single creatures line art without colour:

£15 simple, low detail
£30 complex, high detail

Single creatures coloured:

£30 simple, low detail
£45 complex, high detail

For works with no background you will receive both a white background and transparent background version in both .PNG and .JPEG format, totalling to 4 files.

Subjects with scenery backgrounds

If you're looking for a size in-between those shown, a price can be worked out. The below is just a guide, please specify aspect ratio or exact proportions that you would like. Jungle scenes or scenes with equivalent detail cost extra due to the complexity. Scenes with many animal subjects cost more than scenes with one to three subjects.

Background Prices by Size:

Small background images (suitable for card-size print, not suitable for book or poster print):

(£70 Default) Small background images are equivalent to 360,000 sq. pixels (600x600).
(+£20) Jungle scenes or scenes with equivalent detail
(+£10) Scenes with many animal subjects.

Medium-size background images (suitable for small print and full display on computer monitors):

(£140 Default) Medium background images are equivalent to up to 1,440,000 sq. pixels (1200x1200).
(+£40) Jungle scenes or scenes with equivalent detail.
(+£20) Scenes with many animal subjects.

Large background images (suitable for double page or small poster print):

(£700 Default) Large background images are equivalent to up to 36,000,000 sq. pixels (6000x6000).
(+£200) Jungle scenes or scenes with equivalent detail.
(+£100) Scenes with many animal subjects.

I am happy to do smaller or larger, or anything in-between. Just ask and we can work something out.

All payments currently carried out through PayPal.

Custom requests

If you have custom requests, such as a life cycle diagram or storyboard or something else, just ask! I'm happy to accommodate and for us to discuss the specifics of your request.

Maps

I now do maps!

I will:
Offer visual flavour fictional world maps, either fantasy or simulated realistic. I start with a rectangular hand sketch, then use GPlates to switch from rectangular to globe and plot movement of continents, subduction zones, and rifts, and also to be able to get an accurate globe to rectangular map projection on export before I paint over. You will also be given all work-in-progress files and the GPlates project (if you want it) for your own reference. Simulating tectonics is a more time-consuming process to set up, so series of maps that show continental movement will have a small extra charge.

I won't:
Try to make Earth-accurate maps or simulations of Earth history or future, or very technical, very accurate maps. I feel this requires a more refined skillset I don't have (but I'd be happy to try and source other artists who might).

For examples, all maps that have been made for this project so far (with the exception of one map by YellowPanda) have been my own work and are a good example of what you might get. The default size will be 4000x2000, just let me know if you want another size.

Prices:
For a solitary, static map: £55
For a series of maps with plate tectonics: £55 per image plus £25 for setting up the GPlates project.
