I am offering Originals, Recolours, Reproductions and Portrait Paintings.

Originals: £10

Reproductions: £2, with a discount on larger orders (to be determined)
If it's in the gallery, it's available for reproduction! It is/soon will be available as prints through dA.



Portrait Paintings: £30 for one person, no background (see below left); £40 for one person with background (see below right, but neater and A4); £10 for each additional person. For paintings larger than A4, negotiation will be needed.



Additions: There are a few little extras which I'll add (rhinestones, inserts and mounts) which will cost a little more, but no more than £1 extra.

Postage: Free in the UK for up to two (2) A5 envelopes or one (1) A4 envelope. For more than this, or outside the UK, I'll tell you what the postage is and add it to your bill.

I will take payment via PayPal. If you'd like to pay another way, please get in touch. I will consider dA points. If you need to convert any of these amounts, try this converter.

Please read my Rules and FAQs before commissioning me.

Do get in touch to ask any questions or discuss what you might like to commission! My email is
wehaverainbows AT hotmail DOT co DOT uk
Or you can get in touch through the Tumblr, Facebook or deviantART pages.

When commissioning me, please include the following in your email (copy and paste this if it's easier):
:bulletred: Your PayPal address (or whether you would like to pay by some other method)
:bulletpink: The name and address you want the commission sent to
:bulletpurple: Whether airmail is okay, or if you want a faster/higher protection postage option
:bulletblue: What type of commission you want (Original, Recolour, Reproduction or Portrait Painting) and how many
:bulletgreen: If commissioning an Original, any and all pertinent information, including and not limited to the purpose of the card, the object/theme of the design, motifs, colour schemes and reference images. If you have a specific stock image in mind, please link it and indicate whether you would be willing to pay a permissions cost if the provider asks for one.
:bulletyellow: If commissioning a Recolour, which design(s) you want (please give a reference number) and the colour scheme.
:bulletorange: What extras you want out of: message on the front; rhinestones; plain white insert; written white insert.
:bulletred: Whether you will require a preview photo of the card before I post it to you.
:bulletpink: Whether you are okay with the Original's design being reused, and whether the version of the Original/Recolour can be sold in reproductions (and any conditions you would like to set, such as a date on which it may be shown/posted).
:bulletpurple: If you are not okay with either of the above options, please indicate whether I may display a copy/photo of the design purely for portfolio/demonstrative purposes (and when I would be allowed to do this).
:bulletblue: If commissioning a Portrait Painting, a reference picture must be attached at a minimum resolution of 600 x 800px with the subject taking up the 3/4s of the image or more. Ideally the photo will be larger than this. Please also indicate whether you want the background painted in or not.
:bulletgreen: Whether you would be willing to give a few words of feedback on the product and how well you felt the commission went; how satisfied you were with the product, how satisfied you were with my response and service, et cetera.


I will then get back to you to confirm that I can complete your commission(s) and ask for any more information I might find helpful. I will make a design up for free, show it to you (by emailing a low-resolution scan of it to you) for checking, and if the designs is alright I'll mark a slot as reserved and send you an invoice. I will start making the card once I have received notification of payment being sent.

Hi! I'm back from my holiday now, and I'm planning to open commissions on Sunday. If you have any questions you'd like to ask, then I'm here and ready to answer them.

Are you able to accept paypal?

That's all for right now. I'm trying to save $$ for a convention next month, but I'm interested in commissioning people for artwork, both original to be used for publishing and fanart.

I am able to accept PayPal. Could you clarify for me you mean by "to be used for publishing"? And also, what type of work are you interested in? Primarily I'm offering the rainbow cards or similar, though I'm not ruling out other types of art if I feel able to meet your needs. I'm quite happy to discuss what you're looking for, or potential subject matters in a commission.

For original science fiction and fantasy novel publication, I'm looking for an artist (or artists) to do cover art.

That sounds interesting. Do you know who it will be published by yet, and on what scale? (If you're self-publishing or on Lulu.com that's okay too.) Also, if you could give me a description of what you would want as the image, in as much detail as possible (style, subject, media, composition, colour, etcetera), it would be very helpful for me to know so I can work out if I'd be able to meet your needs. I'm afraid to say that I would be unable to do anything involving type-setting or typography as I have no experience in that area whatsoever, but I'm prepared to consider any proposal for the images. At this stage, I'm not guaranteeing that I'll be able to complete your commission, but I am interested; should I think I wouldn't be able to meet your needs, I will of course inform you immediately.

With me doing the commissioning, I'll be self-publishing via amazon.com for sure, possibly with Barnes and Noble's Nook, and wherever else that I can.

What I'm looking for in terms of content is actually variant upon the title. Color images, around 8x10, depicting a science-fiction/fantasy setting (which is why the actual image will vary. It'll be based on the novel itself), something that you'd find on a novel in a bookstore and capture your attention to read it. Nothing anime-ish, cartoony, etc . . . The artwork would need to be ready (and ultimately paid for) by the middle of November, beginning of December.

This is a very tall order for anyone. If you feel that it isn't something you can do, I totally understand. I wouldn't ask you to commit to something without knowing what it is you're getting yourself into.

I'm very sorry to say that I don't think I'd be able to do it; primarily, I don't think my skills-set is good enough nor of the kind you'd require, as I find creating scapes and drawing characters in a realistic style without reference photos extremely challenging. I'm still learning and developing my skills, and those are things I'm working on. Also, I would have to read the novel before I could even begin to conceptualise or design a cover, and as I'm preparing to start university this September I really don't think I'd have the time. I am very grateful and flattered that you would even consider commissioning me, though, and I wish you all the best in finding someone who'll be able to do your book(s) justice!
