Icon Commissions

[mooncats]

Commissions are OPEN.


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.

I've opened the Imgur gallery on a few different browsers but it appears to be empty on all of them. 🤔 Can you try reuploading the images?

[bobsicle]

omg that's so weird i'm sorry! here you go!

[mooncats]

Those work! Is it still the second image you want his eyes adjusted in?

[bobsicle]

oh, the one where he’s frowning and biting his lip and stuff 😅

[mooncats]

How are these? Bobby Drake Gallery

The adjustment to his eyes is relatively subtle so it still looks natural but hopefully works:

[bobsicle]

oohhh that looks amazing! thank you!

[bobsicle]

oh, i just opened the gallery just now! (sorry been away this whole weekend;;) will it be alright if you can tone down the contrast in the first icon? 🙂

[mooncats]

Of course, is this more what you want?
