Check out the custom cartoon family portrait painting (https://www.alhyari.art/product-page/gift-a-custom-cartoon-portrait)page. It's my best-seller. ​ For other types of freelance digital art commissions, please visit the price quote page (https://ar.alhyari.art/quote-form)and fill the no-obligation form. Please give a detailed description of the artwork you want: ​ • The subject matter of the commission (i.e. digital portrait,(https://ar.alhyari.art/personalized-gifts-online) editorial illustration, visual story, commercial illustration, graphic novel, children's book illustration,(https://ar.alhyari.art/childrens-book-illustration) storyboards, realist digital painting, etc.) • Preferred painting style (share the reference: character reference sheets, style references, photographic references, etc.) It will be optimum if you share a reference from Alhyari.Art Gallery,(https://ar.alhyari.art/) but this is not mandatory as I'm open to different aesthetic styles. • The mediums required (e.g. digital painting, traditional painting, copic marker and pencils drawing, etc.) • Size specifications (i.e. canvas size, resolution, DPI, color model, etc.) • Deadlines, if any (better be flexible.) • Themes (i.e. if the image should portray anything.) • Copyright expectations (i.e. Transfer of Copyright.) • Additional requests (i.e. digital prints, framing and mounting etc.) I will send you the price quote within 2 working days. If not specified, the DPI value for the digital artworks will be set to 300 for high resolution printing and the canvas size will start at 2,500 px wide. The color model will be sRGB Standard Color. ​ For each subject, please include pose, clothing, objects and any special characteristics to be painted. Specify eye color and hair color, as these features often do not show correctly in photos. You may wish to send reference images for clothing and objects too. If any of the above is not clear, I might contact you back with some questions before sending the price quote.

The illustration process I follow to serve my clients works as follows. Normally I suggest starting with one pilot piece only and if things go well for both parties, we proceed together with the whole project. ​ 1- Briefing: the process begins by asking the client for a brief description of the wanted design concept. Based on that, I propose the possible design solution and illustration style customized for the project. In this phase, you have to answer some questions related to the illustration specifications and publishing matters. These questions (most of them are in the FAQ above) are important to set the timeline and the price. 2- Rough Thumbnails: this step includes (1) rough sketches in addition to (2) color thumbnails. This will give a complete overview about the book's shape, mood and flow. ​ So this step is about creating the rough storyboards, rough color design, rough compositions, and rough character sketches. You would have to choose the illustrations and concepts you deem fit and I would then enhance them further as we move on. ​ Important note: if the publishing house has the right to ask for modifications, its approval has to be taken at this point. ​ 3- The actual work: here we have 3 main steps: (1) the clean outlines, (2) the basic colors, and (3) the final touches (lights, shadows, textures, details, etc.). ​ I'll share an update after every step and do the modifications requested by you as agreed upon in the contract, making sure the final result is up to your liking with no room for dissatisfaction. ​ 5- Delivery: after you are content with the final illustration, I then forward all the files to you in high-resolution formats.

My labor price is $75/hour. The time required depends on the quality and complexity of the artwork/project, and additional fees or royalties may apply based on the required license (the exclusivity rights purchased.) ​ So the pricing depends on the: • Deliverables: scope of work, how many illustrations are required, the style and complexity of the artworks (level of detail.) • How the artworks will be used: normally, I -as an artist- will keep the copyright of the images I do. The copyright can be purchased, however, the fees tend to be above the budget for most of the clients. The common option here is buying the usage license which states where and how you may use the artwork. You should tell where the work will be displayed, and in which media. For example: physical print, website, social media, digital display, in stores, on merchandise, on billboards etc. You have also to specify which territories in the world and for how long you'd like to use the artworks. ​ For this, your detailed project descriptions are required for me to share an estimated price quickly. ​ I generally make a discount of 15% on the whole price after the 10th piece. ​ P.S. You can always add your budget when you fill the non-obligatory price quote form.(https://ar.alhyari.art/quote-form) ​ P.S. Some portrait styles are offered with fixed prices, here.(https://www.alhyari.art/personalized-gifts-online)

The time to deliver a commission depends on the complexity of the style and the deliverables required. I can provide a pretty accurate turn around time for a project once briefed about the deliverables. The better the brief, the better the estimate. ​ If needed, your briefs can be shared with me under a non-disclosure-agreement (NDA.) I won't disclose or misuse your work anyway! :) ​ P.S. You can specify the required time to deliver a commission when you fill the non-obligatory price quote form.(https://ar.alhyari.art/quote-form)

Details and clarity are necessary for the artwork’s success. Please select photos that are as large as possible. Please send several photos of each subject to be drawn. Please send a closeup of the face and a full body shot. Hint: I recommend using Google’s PhotoScan application to scan and share your printed photos.

If you approve the price quote, an invoice will be automatically created and sent to you. ​ Unless other terms are specified, I ask for 50% of the quote as a down payment. This term will be mentioned in the quote and in the invoice. ​ The down payment is non-refundable.

Basically, all payment methods are accepted. ​ Payment option #1: PayPal You must have a PayPal account for this payment method. ​ The invoice links to a secure payment gateway. Click ‘Pay Invoice’ then ‘Buy Now’ and you will be redirected to PayPal where you can complete your purchase securely. Follow the payment steps to completion. ​ Payment option #2: Credit Cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, ...)

"PayPal is convenient – all your payment information is stored on your account so you don't have to enter card details every time you pay. Your financial details and transactions are encrypted and monitored to help prevent fraud and identity theft." ​ Payment option #3: Bank Transfer The invoice includes my bank account details for wire transfer. ​ I will acknowledge the payment once received and send you a receipt. ​ If you prefer to pay by other means, I am open to suggestions :)

The prices of my digital art products and services are set in USD ($). You can use the currency exchanger drop down list in the shop pages to check the equivalent in your currency, and you can use your favorite search engine too.

As the artwork progresses, I normally share samples of line art, basic colors, lights and shades, background and other aspects of the artwork. The samples are accompanied by written descriptions about the steps done and those to come.

Yes, you may suggest changes to the artwork after reviewing both the line art sample and the color sample. Normally, no changes are required after these steps, but modifying colors is typical at this stage. Backgrounds can be changed, as well, but any adjustments that are extensive and/or not aligned with the initial description upon which the quote was made may require additional charges. However, this is rare. Don’t worry! :)

Once you are satisfied with the artwork and you don’t need further modifications, the artwork is considered accepted and ready to be converted into a print-ready form. At this stage I will send another invoice for the due payment. I will release the final artwork after the balance is paid.

After acknowledging your balance payment, I will send you the final print-ready file in PSD and PDF formats. More formats can be provided if requested and available. If it is small enough, the file will be sent to you by email as an attachment, but if it is too large for that, I will send you a link to download it.

Normally I deliver a print-ready files that my customers print locally in their locations. However, I can support providing your print through a private link I create under Alhyari.Art prints shop where you can see the product variations and prices. Note that after I create the link, the process is completely managed by third-party printing company. They’ll take care of the ordering, printing, packaging, shipping and payment processing.
