Commission me! I dare you!

Over the past 6 months, I've received an enormous amout of email asking if I do commissions. The truth is, for the past 5 years, I have been doing paid commissions of SquirrelWorks character art through private requests. While the comix and my career keep me very, very busy, I do accept commissions.

Please check out these guidelines before emailing me a commission request:

Concerning Content
I only accept requests to do commissions with my SW characters from Coz/Effect and BattleGate. If you have your own character that you'd like to be included in the piece with my characters, it's usually cool with me. However, I won't do requests of other artists' work, or of any other comic or cartoon series besides my own.

I'll accept most requests. If you're concerned about your request being "adult" in nature, etc. Please contact me first and let me know what's on your mind. Don't worry, I won't judge you, but there are some things I can't do... but then again, the right amount of cash might change my mind hahaha XD

Rates
As you know, I have 2 distinct styles of art for Coz/Effect and BattleGate. Each style varies in the amount of time it takes to take an idea from sketch to final product. While sketch commissions pretty much cost the same, full-color commissions vary widely based on your request. A regular sketch commission can cost anywhere from $100-$125, and a fully rendered color piece starts at $250 and up (again, this really depends on the request).

What do I get?
Depending on the request, as part of the package you get all the original pencil-sketch work and the final clean-up art that went into creating the piece. A sketch commission has detailed pencil work, and a full color commission takes it to the next level with the drawing being completed in the coloring style of the series you requested.
I sign all the pieces and am happy to include a message with my autograph if you request it.

Final Product
If you've requested a full-color commission, the final printed product's cost is *not* included in my rate. You have the option of having me quote the pricing for you, or taking a rights-protected high-resolution file and doing a limited print product for yourself.


About Turn-Around Time

I have a large back-load of commission requests and turn-around time varies on the type of request you have. If you're requesting a sketch-commission, 2 weeks is typical, and a full color commission can't take a month or so depending on my workload. Either way, you have the right of approval before I take the idea to final product.

Concerning Reproduction Rights
In most cases, I only grant limited reproduction rights if you choose to have the finalized art printed professionally yourself. Otherwise, you can put up a copy of the commission I completed for you on your web site for fun, only. No other reproductions are allowed.

Regardless, rights to the final image remain the property of The Chris Moujaes Company, Inc. and I reserve the right to reuse the art elsewhere. If you're interested in commissioning me to do SW art for reproduction on a larger scale, or to reproduce existing SW art, this is a licensing issue, and should be directed to my agent.

Soooooooooo.....
With all that said and outta the way, email me your request and I'll be happy to talk to you about it! Thanx for being a fan and I hope to get a chance to do some cool SW art for you!
