Bespoke quotes on project specifications:
I would like to commission Lady Rabia. How does it work?
I will need a copy of the manuscript and a written description of each scene to get an accurate quote. Once the author and illustrator agree on a price a 30% deposit is required before any work starts. This covers materials, and secures your spot “in line” to complete your work by your deadline. I will start with very simple thumbnail pencil sketches to make sure placement of each element is correct and to allow for feedback. From there I will create a more detailed sketch of the scene. Once the sketches are approved the final product will be created.
