Commision me - mini pencil portraits

The perfect personalised gift, an original piece of art but at an affordable price!

If you are looking for something to surprise a loved one with that will definitely stand out from just about anything else the internet has to offer then this is it! Of course you may decide simply to treat yourself (go on, you deserve it) then that works too. 

Taking a good quality photo supplied by the buyer I will produce a one of a kind pencil portrait of the subject in question. You will be paying for my quality of expertise and absolute attention to detail which I will use to return something exquisite and heartfelt.

The size here will be on an A6 piece of paper (148mm x 105mm) which is the same size of a standard postcard. I feel this leads to a somewhat more intimate scale, it doesn't shout loudly but does suggest something special which would fit neatly on a sideboard/mantel piece/etc.

Price - £80 + P&P

 

+ Some Terms

If you have a problem with any of these statements, they may be changed if discussed with me prior to paying for your commissioned piece.

GENERAL TERMS

  • The product in question is for a single portrait image - one head and shoulders drawn carefully in pencil.
  • Prices are subject to change based on demand.
  • I have the right to reject any order that I do not feel comfortable drawing for any reason.

PAYMENT

  • Currency accepted is in UK £ and can be paid through PayPal or bank transfer.
  • Commissions can be paid either 100% upfront or split 50% upfront and 50% on completion.
  • Don't send me any payment before I have agreed to the commission and requested you to send me the payment.

PROCESS AND DELIVERY

  • I will notify you when I have started on your commission and you, therefore, lose the rights to a refund (see below for more info on refunds)
  • While I'm working on your commission I will make reviews with you to make sure I make it just right for you!
  • The time it takes to finish your commission varies 1 week - 3 months depending on factors such as health, the complexity of the commissioned piece, other work.
  • If anything comes up that will slow the progress of the initially estimated delivery time I will let you know asap.
  • Once the piece is finished I will ask for your delivery details and send you out the artwork as quick as I can.

REVISIONS

  • A fee will be added if you want something changed on the final drawing - unless, of course, a misunderstanding from my side has been made.
  • If you wish for me to change something in the drawing you have previously approved, I will charge you a fee to change it. The amount of the extra charge depends on the change you want me to make and is usually based on an hourly wage.
  • If your reference is unclear to start with changes will come at an extra charge.

COPYRIGHT / USAGE POLICY

  • I, Daniel Strange (the artist), claim the rights to the produced drawing, not the buyer. Therefore I am allowed to use the copyrighted artwork to:
  • Promote myself with it everywhere
  • Publish books with it (artbooks, etc.)
  • Display it everywhere to my liking (website, social media, etc.)
  • Post it wherever I want.

The buyer is allowed to:

  • Use the commissioned piece for personal use unless agreed otherwise (you can upload it on all your social media profiles, forums, etc.)
  • Use the artwork to promote themselves. You are not forced to give me credit when you post it but it is very appreciated.

The following is considered copyright infringement:

  • Reproducing/using the copyrighted artwork commercially - means making money off it in any way.
  • Claiming the artwork as your own
  • Altering the artwork without my consent
  • I reserve the full rights to the image and it's use/distribution unless otherwise agreed upon (rights to the image for your own non-personal use may be purchased at any time).

CUSTOMER SATISFACTION

  • I will do everything I can to make my customers happy!
  • If you have a problem with anything in regards to the commissioned piece please tell me right away so we can find a solution together.
  • I am willing to change some of my terms for you if you ask before I start on your commission. If you, e.g., do not want me to post your art anywhere, we can discuss this.

REFUND / CANCELLATION POLICY

  • The buyer is not allowed a refund once I started working on the commission.
  • If for any reason I am unable to start your commission you will receive a full refund.
  • If you cancel your order before I started it, you can get a full refund.

If the buyer breaks any of the points stated above they will lose all the beforementioned rights to the artwork commissioned by me, Daniel Strange (the artist), and I will have the right to profit further from the commissioned artwork in any way I see fit. If you have a problem with any of these statements, they may be changed if discussed with me prior to paying your commissioned piece.
