Commission Details and Rules : 



First of all, when you commission me, you're not paying for artwork.. you're paying for the 3D model of the OC.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

in case you don't know anything about 3D :

3D model is not drawing. It is different than drawing. 3D model allows you to rotate, move or pose your character in 
3 Dimensional space. think of it like digital action figure that you can pose in anyway you want and take pictures from it. 

Advantage :

- 3D model allows you to view the character in any camera angle possible.
- you can pose, and repose the model infinitely without having the pain to redraw it again from scratch...
- You can create your own 3D animation with it without having the pain of draw and redraw like 2D drawing animation.

Disadvantage :

- Building 3D model usually took quite a long time.. usually around 1 month. unlike drawing which can be done in just 1 day.
- It took bigger Computer processing power to run 3D software than 2D drawing software. But if your Desktop, laptop
 or mac has at least 2GB of RAM and up, that shouldn't be a problem...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Questions :


Q : How to Commission you ?
A : Im going to post in my journal if the commission is open, and then please PM your OC design to me.


Q : Is this price fixed ?
A : The price may vary depends on how complex is your design.. if its complicated, the price might go up.. the price i stated 
   above is just general approximation of how complex Transformers Prime designs are. 

The Price Approximation according to details

Arcee / Airachnid / Starscream level of detail : Normal Price
Smokescreen / Bumblebee/ Bulkhead/ Knockout level of detail : the Price increase 20 - 30 %
Optimus Prime / Ultramagnus / my Elita One level of detail : the Price increase 30-50 %
Predaking / Skylynx / Darksteel level of detail : the Price increase 50% above


Q : Can i download the 3D Model ?
A : Yes you can, but there it costs extra $20. the price listed above is just the price of creating the OC and photomanipulation. 
   ( call it distribution fee and copyright ) Please be aware that i use Autodesk Maya 2013 for creating the OC.
   Make sure you have the same software... the reason i charge extra fee, apart from distribution fee and copyright is that
   not everyone know how to use 3D software. It is kind of unfair if i charge them full with distribution fee, but when they download
   the model, they don't know how to use it.

Q : Do you take points or cash ?
A : I only accept cash for commission. ( Paypal only ) 

Q : What if i want more images from you, but i already exceeded the free render limit that you gave ?
A : Of course you can ask for more. But i need to charge extra per image depends on the complexity of the image.

Q : Can the 3D Model transform ?
A : Unfortunately no. i might add transformation package in the future, but not now...

Q : Is there anything i need to do if you accept the commission ?
A : If i accept the commission, You need to provide me with character sheet for me to work on.. it doesn't have to be coloured. 
   lineart alone is ok. the character sheet has to provide me with front view, side view and back view.
   Example : Character Sheet Credit goes to :iconvexyfate:  a bit of a bio for the character would be cool if available...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  

These rules might change or be updated with more details in the future.

If you have any question, please feel free to PM me...

Thank You...
