Step 01 - Upon initial contact, all pertinent aspects of the work in question are discussed. Everything from subject matter, theme, end usage, stylistic approach, colour as well as any potential copy requirements are covered. Time-frames, budget and copyright are determined prior to the issue of your estimate. All information gathered to this point is taken into consideration when generating your estimate. Included in your estimate are three rounds of notes/ revisions.
Step 02 -
Now that I have all the critical information, I carefully assemble and send
your estimate for approval. At this time a 1/3 retainer fee is required via direct interac
e-transfer, please. Once the estimate has been approved and retainer fee is
received, work begins!
Step 03 - Next, you are presented with WIPs (works-in-progress) versions of your designs/ illustration work. I now wait for your feedback, comments and any direction you may have. The quicker I hear back, the quicker the work proceeds. All process work for client review will be provided as 72 dpi, watermarked PNG files.
Step 04 - After you have reviewed your WIPs, notes and revisions are discussed and a final direction is set.
Step 05 - Revised work is now provided for final approval.
Step 06 - Final artwork is delivered. Final invoice is issued. All done!
The outstanding balance of payment is respectfully requested within 30 days of final delivery.
Please note:
Once final approval has been given in writing and the work is delivered, any changes requested after that will be made in a timely fashion - no fuss, no muss.These revisions will be billed as additional.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?:
You are always provided with an
itemized breakdown of anticipated services/fees with your estimate. No surprises. I never quote on a job. A quote implies "it will cost this." I can't control all the variables, so I provide an estimate based on my experience and all the information provided at the time of the job request.
My services include: Design/Illustration for 2D/3D TV animation, Live action, Comics, Children's Illustration and Game art.
LOOK DEV - Overall look development for a production, show, book etc.
CHR/PRP design - Character & prop design
ENV/LOC design - Location/set design
STORY ART - Story driven moment illustrations
WHAT YOU GET:
You're working with someone who listens carefully to clearly and fully understand your needs and will exceed expectations.
You get what you asked for on time, every time.
Rights to any of my production process work. It's never a part of any agreement. Ever. (That's a deal-breaker)
Assumed rights: As an artist based in Canada, © remains mine until I formally release/transfer it. I am happy to discuss limited/unlimited rights transfer of all works created in the execution of the job.
© transfer fee range is between 50% - 100% of the total job. Full rights means I relinquish all rights to the work I've created, and you can do with your end product what you will without worrying about residuals/rotalty payments or expiry of limited rights.
Estimates are always provided for approval prior to the commencement of any creative work. That estimate is based on the following:
- Information provided at the time: I build my estimate based on the info you provide.
- Scope of the work: The more complex or voluminous the work, the longer it can take.
- Timelines/Budget: A set deadline and budget is helpful. It saves time and enables me to be more accurate in my estimate. If the job parameters change during the job, so will the estimate. In this case, a new estimate would be provided for approval. After approval, work resumes.
ALREADY HAVE AN EXISTING BUDGET?
GREAT! - I'm always happy to provide an estimate that outlines what I can provide for you working within your existing budget.
NOT FOR PROFIT?
Looking forward to working with You!
