Commissions

1. You can contact me either through deviantart (note me) or send me an email at muir.tomas@gmail.com. In the message please include some details about the commission (subject matter, theme, format, maybe even some reference images).

2. I will reply telling you if I can work on it or not (fret not, the answer will almost always be yes), I will ask for more details if I feel I don't have enough info, and then I'll ask for confirmation that you want to go forward with it. 

4. I'll send you a simple sketch (or more than one sketch if I have other ideas) showing the composition and basic design of the piece. At this stage you can ask for any changes and I can add them easily. 

3. You will pay half of the commission price after accepting the sketch (half after the painting is done). 

5. I'll finish up the piece and send you a final image, I can still change some things here if you want, within reason (i.e "please add candles to the walls" but not "Please change the pose of the man to a completely different pose") 

6. If you are satisfied, then send the final half of the payment. 

Prices

Landscape/Environment: €70

Environments and landscapes of any kind, without important characters (only simple silhouettes that are mostly for scale).

Illustration with characters: €100

A painting with one or more prominent characters. The price you see above is for the level of detail seen in the examples, if you want a higher level of detail we'll have to negotiate a higher price.  

Standalone color sketches/thumbnails: €20 (each)

These sketches typically take very little time and have low detail, bordering on impressionism. Since my strength is in color and mood, this is a good choice if you're low on money! 

Small traditional painting: €50

This is just an experimental category. I have never been commissioned for a traditional piece and don't know what it's like to send a painting, use at your own risk! I mostly only paint in gouache and watercolor on watercolor paper.

Obviously there are lots of variables and other categories that aren't covered here, but that's what communication is for! 

Other details:

• Payment should be through paypal or bank transfer (paypal is preferred for one time commissions for simplicity, for commissioning a bunch of stuff at once I suppose bank transfer is more convenient) 
• My currency is euros since I live in Portugal. Prices should be converted to your currency using the current exchange rate. 
• Usually I take 1 day to send sketches, and another day or two to finish the painting.
