Icon Commissions

[mooncats]

Commissions are currently CLOSED due to computer/offline issues. Sorry! I'll process any outstanding orders when I'm able to, but please be aware it may take a few weeks.


I've been making icons for myself and friends and anons for years, so I thought I could finally try my hand at offering commissions in a more organised capacity.

To place an order, please comment to this entry with this information filled out:
<b>YOUR NAME/USERNAME:</b> <b>CHARACTER NAME (OR OC'S PB):</b> <b>CHARACTER JOURNAL:</b> (Optional, mainly so I can avoid making icons too similar to ones you already have) <b>CANON:</b> <b>NUMBER OF ICONS:</b> <b>IMAGE SOURCES:</b> <a href="LINK">Here</a> (I don't currently offer image sorting services; see below for details) <b>NOTES:</b> Anything else goes here, including any preferences you may have (e.g. a certain type of cropping, warmer or cooler tones, more saturation or desaturation, etc.) — see my examples.

• 1 Dreamwidth point per standard icon.
• 2 Dreamwidth points per icon made from excessively dark/low res/poor quality image sources (examples); they can be a considerable time investment to clean up because I edit them on an individual basis, not with premade templates.

Please send the points to this account either after I've confirmed your order or upon completion of it. I don't charge for variants (alternative crops/colouration of the same image). I do charge an additional image sorting fee of 50 - 100 Dreamwidth points if applicable. Sorry, but digging through galleries is time consuming, especially if I'm canon blind! Due to various factors (mainly time constraints) I'll no longer be offering image sorting services for the time being. Please provide your preferred images rather than linking to galleries, thanks!

No minimum or maximum icon amount, but for commissions of 100 icons or more I may opt to do them in smaller batches. If an image source's quality is too poor to work with I may have to skip it. On bigger orders I'll provide you with a few sample icons from your order to get your approval before completing the rest. If you're unsatisfied with any specific icons after completion of your order, I'll redo them free of charge (within reason, e.g. ~30 icons out of 100 — and please provide detailed feedback so I know what you specifically want changed).

Please credit this journal.

Entirely depends on the size of your order and my current queue. ~15 icons might be a day or two, ~200 icons might be a week or more. Barring extenuating circumstances, I try to get things done within a week or so. I'll let you know if it's going to be longer. In the future I might limit my queue to no more than a couple people at a time to help ensure I can finish everything in a timely manner, but as I'm just getting started and I'm not sure of the demand for icons with so many other talented people making them, for now I'm seeing how things go.

Live action, video games, mobile games, animation, comics/manga, webcomics, your fanart, others' fanart if you have permission to use it, dollmakers like picrew, stock images, animal images, scenery/backgrounds, logos, NSFW of adult human/oids or monsters or furries (but no NSFW of children or regular animals). Ask if unsure.

AI generated images, non-fictional media (e.g. Youtubers, influencers, documentaries, etc.) with the exception of photoshoots. I reserve the right to turn down a commission for any reason.

If you like my work, I'd highly appreciate you recommending me to others!

Image legend

By default, I'll sharpen, brighten, and adjust the contrast. I might also clean up any artifacts if needed. Examples:



"Excessively dark/low res/poor image quality source" examples:




In addition to that, I can do...

Colour correction. Examples:




Shift to warmer tones. This is useful for lessening green/blue/purple tints. Examples:




And cooler tones. This is useful for lessening red/orange/yellow tints. Examples:




Increase saturation. This will make colours more vibrant, and can help offset the washed out grey or brown look of some media. Examples:




Decrease saturation. If you prefer a more pastel look. Examples:




Full head (hair + expression) vs. forehead (focus on expression) crop. Unless you specify a preference, I usually default to full head or a mix of full head and forehead crops.




Do you have any other preferences not shown here? Describe them and I'll do my best.

YOUR NAME/USERNAME: Matches
CHARACTER NAME (OR OC'S PB): Leon S. Kennedy
CHARACTER JOURNAL: tyrantbait / condorone
CANON: Resident Evil Remake + Resident Evil animated movies
NUMBER OF ICONS: 85
IMAGE SOURCES: Here
NOTES: Hello, In return with more Leon!! I'm sorry again that the lighting on these is terrible 😭 the game already has garbage lighting and finding sources with decent lighting is also a struggle. Please do what you can! I do like what you did before with that cooler tone. So something similar to that for most of them? Where blue tones won't work, just making the colors less washed out and lighting more balanced would be great! If you can't work with some of the screenshots, no worries at all! c: let me know if there are any issues or you need anything else from me!

Hi again and thanks for your order! How are these?

Leon Kennedy Gallery

Let me know if you want any of them adjusted further. 😊

[tyrantbait]

Hello!! They look great ❤️ thank you so much!

How much should I send your way? I'll do that first thing when I get off work today.

[mooncats]

I'm glad you like them! I was better equipped to tackle the wonky lighting now that I'm familiar with it and only a few really took an extra long time to clean up, so since you were nice enough to commission me again I'll just say 85 icons = 85 points.

[tyrantbait]

I sent the points over! Please let me know if you got them.

And thanks again! I'll be back at some point, haha

[mooncats]

Points received! I really appreciate the tip too, thank you!❤️
