Quick poll - Prints and other goodies
1 min read
Hi there watchers, how are you today?
I'm currently considering offering prints and other merch featuring my artwork on a platform other than deviantArt - partly so I can offer a larger range of works (most fan work, for instance, can't be sold as merchandise on dA) and partly so I can provide options for folks who might prefer the goods from society6 and the like.
If I were to offer more prints, which artwork(s) would you most want to see? Is there items other than prints (phone/laptop skins, phone cases, tote bags, t-shirts, etc) you'd be interested in?
I have some mind but if there's anything you're specifically interested in, please let me know 8D

What I Do
I'm a digital painter. I specialize in fantasy and sci-fi character portraits. I love bringing life to original characters and reinterpreting canonical ones.
How It Works
Turnaround
Typically 6-8 weeks. This can vary depending on the scope of the piece and how busy I am. Rush orders may be possible but will be subject to an additional charge of at least $10 USD.
Progress and Revisions
As I work I'll submit progress shots for your approval. In this way it becomes easy to alter details if necessary. Do note, however, that any radical alterations after the fact will incur additional charges. The more information and reference images you can provide for the piece - whether it's photos, other artwork, written description, or even a crude MSPaint diagram - the better I'm able to fulfill your needs.
Payment
I accept payment via PayPal only, in United States Dollars. 50% of the cost is paid up front, and the other 50% is to be paid when I submit a watermarked version of the completed painting. Once I receive the second payment, you will receive the full, un-watermarked version.
What You Get
The Basics
By default all paintings will be provided as a PNG image, 2480px by 3508px (A4 at 300 ppi). Other formats, sizes and aspect ratios (for instance if you want a square or some desktop wallpaper) may be available upon request. Extremely large images will be subject to an extra fee.
The Options
Bust
A basic head-and-shoulders portrait of a single character with a simple background.
$90 USD.
Half-length
A portrait from about hip- or waist-level upwards, with options for additional characters and/or more detailed scenery.
Starting at $120 USD; +$60 for a detailed background, +$60 per additional character.
3/4-length
A portrait from about knee-level upwards, with options for additional characters and/or more detailed scenery.
Starting at $140 USD; +$70 for a detailed background, +$70 per additional character.
Full-Length
A full-length portrait, with options for additional characters and/or more detailed scenery.
Starting at $160 USD; +$80 for a detailed background, +$80 per additional character.
Other Considerations
Content
Tasteful nudity is OK. Erotica might be OK - please ask beforehand. Anything hateful is not OK.
Usage
The artwork is for personal (non-commercial) use only.
Public Posting
Typically, I post work-in-progress shots on my deviantArt account and Tumblr sketch-blog, and I may include the piece in my portfolio as well. If you'd prefer I didn't - for example if you're commissioning a gift and want it to be a surprise - please let me know ahead of time.
Contact Information
Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. The best way to do so is to email me.

friends list pruning, commission pricing
2 min read
i was sitting at just under 300 entries on my friends list so i decided it's time to trim it down some. no hard feelings if i unfollow anyone, just trying to keep it down for my own sanity here :V
also, gosh, has it really been a year since i made my commission price sheet? i need to update it.
factors to consider:
for the sake of comparison, here's my old commission sheet fav.me/d4q7ujf (with old art).
any thoughts or feedback on this?
also, gosh, has it really been a year since i made my commission price sheet? i need to update it.
factors to consider:
- i feel like i've improved enough to warrant a price bump... that and i tend to underestimate just how long pieces will take me.
- i'll probably drop the greyscale painting options entirely, i don't think i've gotten a single commission of that sort, and colour takes way less time for me than rendering does anyways
- i don't practice them as much as i ought to, but proper line drawings (with flat colour or digital watercolour) and scenery are potential options as well. i could either add those as options once i'm comfortable with them, or offer them discounted to encourage buyers (which helps motivate me to practice)
- then there's 'real' media... pencil, ink, and watercolour ACEOs (aka sketchcards or ATCs), maybe even mid-sized paintings/drawings could be on offer if people were interested, once i feel more confident in their handling and look at options for shipping them)

art commissions
7 min read
yes hello hi i'm opening commissions.
medium - digital painting
genre - fantasy
specialties - people. original characters.
i may be willing to work outside of these areas, but you'll probably want to discuss these with me first. i am fine with nudity/erotica. i reserve the right to turn down subjects that i feel uncomfortable with or unable to handle to the best of my ability.
references - if its an OC, image references are strongly preferred but i can work from a detailed description, too (or ideally, both). personality description helps a lot, too.
how to contact me - email me (r dot sekouri at gmail dot com), or send me a note on dA or my tumblr (fanmail works best). either way, please note the type of commission you want and a description of what you'd like.
currency - USD or CDN, they're roughly 1:1 atm so it doesnt really matter which.
payment process -
sketches: pay up front.
everything else: half up-front. i will submit WIP images throughout the process for your approval. upon completion i'll send you a watermarked version the finished piece. upon receiving the 2nd half of payment, i will send you the full-size, un-watermarked image.
timeframe - this depends largely on the complexity of your piece, and how many other commissions i have on my plate. generally sketches are done within a week, monochrome paintings within two weeks, and colour paintings within a month. if you need it before a specific date, something can be worked out, but it will probably cost more.
