Q. How can I request a commission?
A. Go to the Lycan Knight Commission Page and click on the button labeled COMMISSION. It is a link to my Commission Request Email. You may simply copy and paste my Commission Request Form into the email and fill in the blanks with your information. It is that simple.

Q. What do you charge for a commission?
A. The price of a commission will vary depending on the requirements for the image. I take into account the size and complexity of the image, as well as the usage rights that are requested.

-The relative size is the biggest cost. Printable copies require more detail and if you want all the rights to the image... exclusive copyrights can really bump up the bottom line.
- My basic package for Character Portraits are as follows:
* A full bust portrait, with a simple back drop, 8.5" X 11" size for $100.00 for the digital file - with a high quality the 8.5" X 11" print $130.00.
* A Full figure image at 8.5 X 11, awesome pose and simple backdrop... looks very nice though it requires a bit more work and usually runs $200.00 for the digital file and for the 8.5" X 11" print $230.00.
* A Full figure image at 8.5 X 11, awesome pose and fully detailed action adventure setting... looks fantastic though requires a lot more work and usually runs $300.00 for the digital file and for the 8.5" X 11" print $330.00.
-You may order larger commissioned image sizes as I offer 8.5" X 11" to 11" X 17" to the maximum size of 13" X 19". Why only 13" X 19" max? Because that is the maximum size of image I can print off my Epson stylus photo R1800 printer. (my lil' pup.)
- As with any commission the larger the piece the higher the price will be. Many factors govern the actual price due to the relative file size, image complexity, overall details you require for your commission piece and printable sub-straights available. Please contact me for a FREE Quote for your ideal image.
- You may display the art on the world wide web if necessary, though I require that my signature be legibly visible online.
-Numbered, hand signed, archival wood free rag, authenticated collectible prints are available with a unique Unnatural Forces certificate of authenticity for an additional fee of $50.00 and canvas prints for an additional fee of $100.00.
These sample packages are EXAMPLES ONLY, individual rates may vary depending upon the commission details.

Q. I wish to submit a Commission Request for the Lycan Knight and get a quote on a custom image. Will you charge me for a quote?
A: Commission quotes are absolutely FREE! You are under no obligation if you request a quote. I will not charge you if you send me a Commission Request email. The email you send is only a request. After establishing certain details about your desired image, I will be able to give you a quote. You will only be charged after I accept your request and you sign the art commission agreement.

Q. What can I expect after I request a Commission?
A. Once you have agreed to the Free quote and some of the preliminary details are worked out, I will ask that you sign an art commission agreement before I begin creating your art. This agreement will state the type of work being done, the payment we agree upon, the usage rights you will be granted upon delivery of the finished work, and a few other miscellany. This document is to protect both you and me and ensure that we both get what we agreed upon. I will require 50% of the total payment before I begin the work, but you are welcome to pay the whole amount up front if you wish.
I am willing to alter the payment schedule to accommodate those of you who really want a cool image but are a bit strapped for cash. Fear not my friend for The Lycan Knight has your back! I will work with you to ease your fiscal stresses and thus allowing you to acquire a custom master work of art your very own. Ask me which scattered payment options will work best for you.

Q. I would like a custom piece done ASAP. How fast can I have it?
A. On standard commissions, I require a minimum of 2 business weeks to complete a single piece of custom work. Any commission requiring a tighter time table will be charged an additional rush fee per image to compensate for my time and increased efforts in order to produce the same quality of work in a shorter period of time.

Q. Can I pay through Google Checkout, Paypal or a credit card?
A: Absolutely! The Lycan Knight offers Google Checkout and Paypal as a quick, secure, and easy payment option for you! And wouldn't you know it, they accept credit cards too.

Q. I don't have Paypal or a credit card. Can I still purchase a Commission?
A: Absolutely! The Lycan Knight accepts Money Orders and Personal Checks. Payment option must be approved by myself before the deal is finalized. Orders from outside the United States are subject to currency exchange and this may limit the payment options.

Q: Is there anything you won't draw for me?
A: The Lycan Knight works hard to maintain a sterling reputation for quality and integrity. Therefore I reserve the right to deny the commission of an artwork for any reason. For example, some things I will not include in any commission artwork:
-Pornography (artistic nudity is acceptable)
-The act of rape
-Certain forms of torture
-Fan art of a licensed character
-Anything I might find offensive

Q: I would like to order a print with my custom art. How can I acquire a print of the art I commissioned?
A: The Lycan Knight offers a free 6 inch X 4 inch image print with any commission purchase. However If you wish for a bigger print, you may request a larger size at the standard prices I offer to everyone. See the sizes and price list for prints in the table below.

Q: What are the sizes of prints you offer?
A: I offer prints and posters, the rates I offer with the sizes of prints are as follows:

Q: What do you charge for shipping fees?
A: Shipping will now be included in your Commission purchase and will no longer be an additional charge. This applies to all orders domestic or international. Ordering a commission has never been easier to get that one of a kind, tailor made print you have always dreamed of!
