Do you have an Epic RPG Character?
Give them the 5 Star treatment!

Playing your RPG game without a proper
character avatar can be a real downer.
You may have found some random image
online but it just doesn't do your
favorite character justice.

It's not tall enough, or has the wrong armor.
My character has a big intimidating hammer
not a sword like that...

I get it, I feel your pain.

It doesn't have to be that way.
So why don't you do something about it?

Isn't your character worth it?

I bet you said YES!

Then you have come
to the right place.

Once you have agreed to the Free quote and some of the preliminary details are worked out, I will ask that we comply to an Art Commission Agreement before I begin creating your art. This agreement will state the type of work being done, the payment, payment schedule, 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.

Is there anything you won't draw for me?
The Lycan Knight works hard to maintain a sterling reputation for quality and integrity. Therefore, I reserve the right to deny the Commission of any artwork for ANY reason. For example, I find it wise to decline anything:

Political, Religious, Crude, or Sexual in Nature to name a few.
Any Commission request that I might find in bad taste, otherwise offensive or in copyright violation will be respectfully declined. When In doubt please ask.

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

*If you are dissatisfied with your character portrait after I have tried to correct the issues you are displeased with, then you get all your money back. Yep, EVERY LAST CENT.

All art, including comps, drafts, and anything related to the Commission that I have created in its entirety, may not be used in any form by you if the Commission is rendered void by either you or myself.

Character:
Celeste Falck: Aarakocra, Fighter/Barbarian

Took me long enough but this is another commission I had done by Karl A. Nordman a while ago. I absolutely love how it turned out. I still highly recommend him for anyone who wants their character, not only illustrated, but embodied into an image that is so thoughtfully drawn out and made to your every specification. He also helped me really develop my character personally along the way. His work is most certainly worth the price and he is a great pleasure to work with.

Gary Kent


Character:
Red Panda Monk

That is an awesome red panda. I like the details in his outfit, especially the folds in his robe. And the face is pretty expressive.  The scrolls have a life of their own, too. I love it ! Run with it!

Name:

Character:
Santa, His Sleigh and 8 / Tiny Reindeer.

Dear Karl:
Gosh that looks great. I magnified it some and there is a lot of magic detail you put in. You do have a magic wand for things. It is wonderful - now one has to decided is some enough or do you go further and enhance more. I don't want to make that decision and I think you have done just enough to add that little bit of more detail and magic all in one treatment. GOOD STUFF, I am giddy just looking at it.

I commissioned you a long time ago for an RP character. I have always been in love with the picture you did and even after year of no longer playing that character I keep going back to the art.

Character:
Werewolf Warrior

Karl Nordman says in his bio that he creates new worlds under his brush and unleashes dreams. In my case, he brought to life a long cherished character from my dream-world better than I ever thought possible. Karl was a pleasure to work with, very responsive to my requests, adding his creativity to my thoughts through a series of preliminary pictures to ensure that I was pleased throughout the process. Turnaround time was excellent and the quality is topnotch. I highly recommend him as both an artist and businessman and well worth more than the low prices he charges. You won't be disappointed.
