| Illustration
Rates I bid
all jobs based on usage (how
you'll use the final product) and the level
of detail.
I do not do spec work, or
work on any kind of contingency basis. All
work must be paid for
in advance.
When I take on any illustration job, I always
do concept sketches first.
This lets you know exactly what you’re getting
and is included
in the price of the finished illustration.
Any job I bid, I break down
into elements. You
can do this yourself if you want to know what a
job is going to cost.
An animal, figure, car—each would be considered
1 element. Backgrounds and environments are also
considered 1 element, but if the background is
a crowd scene or a cityscape, the level of detail
overall would be less than if you broke the crowd
down into elements.
Concept Sketches Only
$165 per element
Finished Illustrations
$565 per element

Easy, right? |
