This journal contains general info on my art style, capabilities and the best methods of getting in contact with me.
I've done my best to keep this info easy to read and I've structured it in a way that will hopefully help you find the specific info you're looking for.
if you have a question before reading this i highly recommend at least lightly reading the journal to see if its already answered. mainly this will help avoid confusion for everyone involved, thank you :3.



well to those who don't already know. i am a digital artist.
my abilities in this area include but are not limited to:
 Backgrounds
 wallpapers
 OC's
 avatars
 pixel art
 simple animations
 damn near anything you can come up with X) 
easiest way to know for sure i have the will and or ability to make a piece is to ask.
here are some examples of my most popular work.







for more examples check out my gallery here:
thegentlemancupcake.deviantart…

and go to the bottom of this journal to see previous commissions.

if you have questions on what i can and will do you can ask them freely through any of these contact methods.

Deviantart: note me or comment on this journal

Discord: i have my own server with a commission section, you can ask there or DM me via the same server.
link: discord.gg/ZAAw8S

Email: TheGentlemanCupcake@gmail.com

you can contact me through other means such as my tumblr, facebook, twitter or youtube but i'd highly recommend using one of the three above since they are the quickest and most orderly methods.
discord in particular allows for live messaging which makes contact much quicker.

these are also the places i'd want you to contact me if you want a commission.

here's a list of some things that may negatively effect a commission or cause me to decline.
i will not take on too big projects if i don't have the time.
i will not draw pornographic images since i'm highly inexperienced in the theme and thus ill suited for the job.
styles other than my own will most likely not only cause the end product to be less than optimal and it will also increase the total work time and price.
more things are cetainly included but it may be more situational.


prices will of course depend on the difficulty of the project and the time i have to spend on it. 
though my art style is rather complex and time consuming.
so a fair price usually ends up being a bit more than most people would expect from a picture.
after doing quite a few commissions i have pinpointed an estimate price of about 15,5 USD/hour (USD can be easily converted to your preferred convenient currency using google)
i will need an exceptional reason to go below this price since its already a relatively low price for what is genuine payed labour.
fundamentally i believe art deservers to be payed for according to the skill and time that was put into it.
since the current estimate is already below the minimum wage in my country i cannot go lower without good reason to do so. not only would it be bad for me it would also be bad value for art in general.

i set up a few general categories of difficulty below. that might help a bit to understand the general difficulty of the picture and thus the price.
they are however only vague estimates and any difficulties can easily bring the time up.
so please contact me and we might clear out the concept and give a more precise estimate.

 
  [1. category][2. category][3. category][4. category][5. category]

1. category:

this category if for the very simpelest and easiest of commisons.

3. category:

this category is for more advanced single characters with more detailed backgrounds.
it also includes more advanced landscapes and scenery (such as cities or forrests) as these take much longer than ordinary pictures.

possible examples: 
sta.sh/22facpaphokr?edit=1

Note:im also willing to try things out of my style and out of any of these categories... prices for that will have to be discussed in person. and i cannot promise a deadline or anything as such since i may not have experience in the subject.



if or when you want a commission you may contact me via any of these methods.
there are other means but these are preferred due to convenience and ease of use.

once contact is in check we can discuss the commission in detail and after completing discussions i will list the commissioner in the queue below (unless they wish to be anonymous that is.)
important note when requesting a commission its important that you give me as much info as you can about your idea. the point is to get the idea in your head into my head with the least possible room for error.
you can of course leave me with less info and thus more creative freedom if you like though that does come with risk that i may make decisions you disagree with.


ill be accepting payment through most trusted payment services such as:
direct bank transfer, Paypal or points on Deviantart.
real money is is preferred over points since points can only be spent within Deviantart itself.
usually payment will happen once the commission has been completed. in certain cases like a category 5 or a tough category 4 i may ask for half the payment in advance so i don't waste too much time on a commission that the commissioner may re-decide on half way through the piece.

and... that's about it.  thank you so very much for reading.
if you have any further questions feel free to ask them in any way you see fit.
