Hi all ! well after a long way thinking about this. I desided to try ! so here we go ..


Green Viggen’s Commission Data, 2009


Personal info:

I’m a 30 years old artist/illustrator who lives in Argentina.
I have studied traditional classical art with a Russian professor and now I’m studying contemporary art styles . As backgorund, I have worked as Ariel Olivetti’s assistant (Marvel ) and have been selling my traditional media paintings (oil on canvas) for private costumers. Now I work as a freelance artist/illustrator.

Art has always been a big part of my life and is my passion. Some of my favorite great masters are:Rembrant, Sargent,Waterhouse, VERMEER, Da Vinci, Ilya Repin,Vrubel, Bougereau, Klimt, Kandinsky, Odilon Redon, Gustave Moreau, Chagal, Klee.

Beside painting I love doing sports, listening to music, reading good fantasy and historical based novels (or just historical), I also enjoy books about symbolism, hinnduist/ Chinese/ Japanesee/ philosophy, ancient cultures.
I also love martial arts ^^ and Sci-Fi-and medieval fantasy movies.

Frecuentlly used media: Pencils, Inks, Monochrome, Color, Ultra-rendered
Before I started to paint digitally a few years ago, I worked with traditional media like graphite, colored pencils, oils and I still do it if I find the time.
For digital art I use mostly Photoshop CS3 and Painter X, together with a Wacom Graphire.

Feel free to ask about anything non listed here. However I feel free to decline any commission I don’t feel confortable with the subject.

Payment mode:
I accept PAYPAL , and that is the easiest way to go.. When customer hires me to do a job will receive, via e-mail the required data to accomplish the pay. If customer is in Buenos Aires, Argentina, I will accept cash. Prices are in american dollars.
PAYPAL'S FEES MUST BE PAYED BY CUSTOMER

All prices are in USD u$s, PSD Format for digital images in 300 DPI (*-Tell me if you need a especific resolution for print; and/or format)

Please don't ask for a commission slot if you have no intent on payment, or it is unlikely that you can pay, you'll just be wasting your time and mine.

I can use the images (watermaked if you like) in my web site/s ,blogs, etc, as a portofolio.
The final artwork is the client's property, The final works will have my signature as author. You can use the art on your site, your house, anything not commercial. If you want to use it for a book cover let's say, we have to make another deal. My art shouldn’t be manipulated to make other things

Payment must be in advance before I start working. On larger projects I am willing to do sketches before payment is received, and a partial payment before starting can work as well.

If you have certain sceneries/settings in mind, mail or PM me and we can talk about your commission. I´m sure we’ll find a way to work it out.
Once contacted by note we can continue our chat /via the e-mail

KEEP IN MIND THAT…

* Depending on the complexity of the drawing, we can negociate the price. For several artworks, we can also negotiate the price.

*Deadlines: Commissions with a deadline have high priority, but that is going to cost the customer extra money

Backgrounds: very simple bakgrounds will be add at no coast. If the customer
decides that wants a complex background, lets say a building or a landscape, the matter will be arranged depending on difficulty of the subject.




My working method:

*After I accept the work…

*We start to work whit Samples : I will show the customer 2 or 3 rough sketch options so he/she will be able to choose one of them and decide if there is something to change, by this I mean: I’m going so show very simple sketches (where the image and the idea will be clear), not finished art line pieces.

*Then, (when the idea is ok ) I’ll ask you for the first half of the money after you recieve the first sketch. After that you have three strikes to make minor changes (adding minor details, or changing some colors). Things like major clothing, overall look and appearance, pose and or environment should be clear before I start sketching.

I will closely work with you if there are specifics you need. If you want to see sketches and works in progress of your commission that is perfectly fine.

*Then I’ll finish the painting and send you a low res file, watermarked. After that, you must deposit the remaining half of the payment in my PayPal account.

*Then you’ll get a link to the download of the hi-res file via Rapidshare or other similar heavy files manager.

DATA REQUIRED FROM YOU:

A good description about what the customer wants me to draw. If it is neccessary include reference images, will be better. For example, if someones ask me to draw certain tower of the Lord of the Rings as background, a picture of that will help. Please keep description brief and accurate.
If the customer asks me to do something I'm not familiar with, and he/she doesn't provide me pictures or the information, and I have to make the research on my own, it will cost an extra fee: $10 USD
Customer’s e-mail.

Deadline (if any)

The work can delay, depending on the quantity of work that I have. remember I ALSO HAVE A LIFE!
