Hello there!
So you've decided that you want to commission me for some work - fantastic! Please fill in the questions below to the best of your ability. These questions are meant to help me understand what you'd like for your artwork and to help me properly estimate the time and cost for your project!
Please note that this form is for personal commissions only. Please contact me at
thingsbydiana@gmail.com for commercial projects!
For any tattoo design requests, my disclaimer is that I am not a professional tattoo artist, it's always best to consult your local tattoo artist for designs! However, if you would still like to commission me for a design, please bear in mind that your tattoo artist will likely make changes to the illustration to make it a great tattoo!
Commissions work on a first come first served basis based on when you complete your deposit to be the most fair to all my clients, but exceptions can be made - just let me know (ex: birthday, anniversary).
Payments are usually handled through Paypal and all prices are in USD. Shipping will vary across countries, especially with COVID, so it may vary between $5-$20 USD. Tips are always welcome, and appreciated!
A 50% deposit for the project must be paid before the project can begin!

Commission Process:
1. After your ideas have been gathered here, I will reach out and message you with any questions I may have! if I don't have any questions, I will message you to receive a deposit - a deposit must be paid before I begin sketches.
2. I will sketch out 3-6 thumbnails with different poses/variants for you to choose from based on your references/feedback/comments. At this stage, you can choose your favorite(s) out of the group and provide feedback on what you like/dislike about the design(s) so I can further refine the artwork. The biggest changes will usually be made at this stage. If you see a design you already love at this stage, we can proceed with the actual drawing.
3. I will provide an additional 1-4 thumbnails with the updated design based on your previous feedback. At this stage, we will select 1 of the thumbnails to proceed with, with minor changes noted to be included for the final drawing (ex: I want the lion's head turned the other way).
4. The full render of the drawing will be completed, and a photo will be sent to you! The remaining 50% payment must be paid in full before the final file is sent/artwork mailed to you. If it's a physical art piece, it will be mailed to you at the earliest mail-out date. Mail outs do not include tracking, but it can be requested. As of today, there haven't been any issues with missing mail, but due to current events, mail outs can take anywhere from 2 weeks to 4 months depending on your location.
