Payments:
All payments will be processed in Venmo and Zelle.
[ Update: I do have PayPal, but it's been giving me trouble. ]
If you need the work completed by a specific date, please plan ahead and let me know 6 weeks before the due date. When your commission is next and I am ready to start, I will ask for the payment. After it has been confirmed, I will start on the commission.
Prices in USD (United States dollar).
!!! REMINDER !!!
▲ Before you commission me, please keep in mind you are EXPECTED to pay the full commission price. You are allowed to pay the first half (50%) before I start on the artwork and the last half after receiving a preview of the finished product [Installments may be applicable]. A fee may be added if you request a "big" change. After fully compensating for my work, an email with a high-quality image file will be sent directly to you.
▲ Please be respectful of the artist's time and hard work. Artists appreciate the opportunities to work for you, but remember designs take time to create and complete. Thank you!

How to request a commission . . .
If you're interested in ordering a commission, please send an email to zmckdesign@gmail.com or you can direct message me on Instagram or Facebook @zmckdesign.
1. When emailing, please describe your commission in the subject title of the email. (For example: Crixus Fellheart, Human Fighter)
2. Provide a short introduction of your character that helps me understand the character's personality, where they are from if it's super cold or hot environment, the alignment . . . example: chaotic evil, and more! Any type of information helps define what you're looking for and the kind of "feel" you would like the portrait to have: happy, mysterious, chaotic, or anything else.
3. Summarize your character's appearance: hair color/length of hair/style of hair, eye color, race, clothing, most important weapons, and most important accessories. If you have references of images you would like me to study, such as a pose or an emblem, attach them to the message. Thank you!
4. For document sizes, let me know if there is a ratio or resolution I need to keep in mind for posters, book or page covers, etc.

If you're looking for a specific line art style for me to follow by example, please provide reference images or a mood board you may have found on Pinterest.
If you want a specific pose, (fighting stance or a couple dancing) provide a reference or try to explain as thoroughly / simple as possible. If you have a selfie for a reference and want me to draw you as a character, that will be acceptable. I will not share the image or reference of yourself or a personal friend/relative or your pet in my process work unless you have given me the right to do so. If I ask and you say "no," I will definitely respect your wishes.

LOGO DESIGN
Prices will increase in 2024.
Starting at $50~ (pricing may increase on the amount of detail, and commercial use under trademark & copyright)
The type of logos I design are illustrations that can be detailed or characters (similar to college football logos). Normally, the time it takes for me to design a logo is 48 hours, but this can fluctuate on the amount of detail and changes suggested by the client.
If you would like to have variations ( horizontal/vertical/color ) of the logo, that will add onto the hour amount.
Please send references and color swatches and your business description through email. If you have Instagram or Facebook, you can direct message me privately if you'd prefer to see updates and share your thoughts quickly. (I can not read minds, so any helpful information will be much appreciated to help bring your creative idea to life. Thank you!)
Logo Design into Motion Graphics
Prices will increase in 2024.
Starting at $14 per hour.
If you have a logo you would like me to make a motion graphics for, please send the logo vector graphics through email. If you do not have the Illustrator file, please send the high quality image in PNG or JPEG. I may need to deconstruct or clean up the logo before starting on the motion graphics if the logo file is blurry and separate the pieces to use in Adobe After Effects. Please let me know the name of the typeface (font) and if you have the typeface available please send the OTF or TTF file.
If you have suggestions and thoughts, please send via email or Instagram/Facebook message. I'm still a beginner in motion graphics, so this will take me around 48 hours and can take longer depending on the detail. The motion graphics I made for each of my projects (Boodega, Hydration, and Joystick Mania, QuestDing!) took me 15-18 hours straight in one day/night - no break, but that was during my school time under a limited timeframe. For each logo video length, the time can take up from a minimum of 10 seconds to more. Your motion graphics time frame will fluctuate on the amount of information you would like me to place in the video.
