Commission Information – K9 Unit

Commission Info

Richard K Niner is now available for commissions. Yes, even you can turn him into your artist-y slave for a picture^* or two. Both digital and hand-drawn commissions are available.

All prices are in Canadian Dollars (CAD).

What's available

• Conbadges — Nametags showing your character's likeness and name, perfect for furry gatherings.
• Digital drawings — Looking for a new desktop background, avatar, forum signature or nice pic? Digital drawings feature scanned, inked sources with colouring, shading, and effects, and are delivered with high-resolution digital sources in the format(s) of your choice.

Please be sure to read the instructions and Terms and Conditions.

Conbadges

Conbadges are created to fit the dimensions of 3"×4" in either landscape or portrait orientation. These simple pieces can be done in either a digital process, or by using coloured pencils and ink on the index card itself. Upon request, low-resolution WIP images may be sent to the commissioner for input and approval. Regardless of whether this option is used, you will still receive a high resolution copy of the finished work, ready for printing.

Digital drawings

Looking for something to put on your computer or a profile for the internet community of your choice? Prefer the look of my digital works to those I do via traditional means? Now's your chance to get one. All digital drawings are first inked on letter-sized card stock, then scanned in for colouring and finishing. High-resolution copy will be sent on completion.

One character, drawn with no background as one will be added late in the creation process; at this level, it will often consist of a gradient or fractal chosen to enhance the image content.

Terms

1. I retain copyright of all commissioned works, including the rights to post them on my website or in any promotional materials, and release them for public use under the same Creative Commons licenses as any other works that I produce. However, should you commission any work from me, you are allowed to do whatever you wish with it, including redistribution, provided that you credit me as the creator of the original work.
2. All physical items will be sent via lettermail, unless otherwise negotiated. I am not responsible for any misdeliveries due to incorrect information or handling error. Any use of package tracking or alternative delivery service will incur an additional cost equal to whatever I am charged in order to use said service.
3. In any commission offer, I reserve the right to refuse work, or adjust my terms at any point prior to a request for payment, including a change of the price I charge. Further, you have the right to cancel any commission request without penalty prior to any transfer of funds.
4. Payment processing is handled via PayPal. If the commissioner feels this is unacceptable, I will also accept Collect On Delivery for physical conbadges. Those opting to use COD must pay all additional fees, and will not receive any high-resolution copy for printing prior to the completion of payment, and only if requested. COD orders outside Canada are provided solely by couriers.

^*Subject to approval. As my abilities are limited, and as there are certain things I would not be comfortable drawing, some commissions may be refused; no payment necessary.
