IMPORTANT NOTE: In requesting a commission from myself, Ericka Hampton, the
commissioner agrees to read and adhere to the following information provided in
the following document. The following commission prices are for NON-COMMERCIAL
COMMISSIONS Only: They are not to be resold or marketed, and while the
commissioner retains copyright to the subject their commission depicts, I
retain copyright to the image itself. If you would like commercial artwork
created for publication or professional use of any kind, you are welcome to
contact me directly at erickhampton@me.com to arrange a
contract bid.
Payment: Payments are to be made up front. At the moment, I’m only able to
accept payments via Paypal. Please send payments as personal payments ONLY, as
any other option would require extra fees. Please contact me for the
proper email address needed to send payment via Paypal.
WAITING LIST: For anyone interested in snagging a commission slot as they free
up, I'd be quiet happy to add you to my current waiting list. Anyone on the
waiting list will be contacted first when commission slots become available,
before I make any public announcements regarding available commission slots.
Please review my commission information carefully and email me directly at erickahampton@me.com
if you would like to be added.
The Process: I will be open for a set number of commission slots at a time, and
will complete each commission in the order in which they are received. If you
would like to acquire a commission, contact me at erickahampton@me.com please
note that commission requests MUST be sent to this email address. I cannot take
requests from website forums or comment sections, as I offer commissions on
multiple websites, and it would be too complicated to run a
first-come-first-serve request line in any other manner.
In your Commission Request Email,
please include information on the type of commission you are interested in,
along with a detailed description of your character(s), any specific details
you would like to see portrayed such as pose, costuming or expression, as well
as pre-existing reference images of your character(s). Please be very precise
and detailed with what you would like (Unless you’d like to give me free reign
creatively and have it be a surprise for you - I certainly wouldn’t complain
there either! lol) as I wish nothing more then to see to it that you enjoy the
end result. I will price your commission based on this email, and assign your
work its slot.
NOTE: DO NOT, under any circumstance send me obscene or sexually explicit reference material for your
character. I do not create pornographic artwork on commission. In turn, I do
not want to stare at pornographic reference images for the 10-odd hours it may
take me to complete a commission. If you sincerely do not have any other
reference image of your character beyond those of an explicit nature, please
censor the material before sending it my way. I withhold the right to deny a commission if a commissioner cannot
respect this request.
Please be aware that I am working on multiple projects along side
of commissions at any given time, including animated shorts and freelance
projects - as a result, I divide my time between these things, and projects
with strict commercial deadlines take priority out of necessity. I ask that my
commissioners be understanding of my rather hectic schedule. Once you receive a
slot, I require payment up front in full before I begin your image.
When I reach your slot, pending I have
already received payment, I will contact you immediately to establish how long
it will take to complete your image. That amount of time will begin once and
only once I reach your individual commission slot, after completing the works
of the commissioners in line before you.
As you could imagine, the length of
time for each piece will vary depending on the complexity of the image itself -
anywhere from two days to a week or two, pending the commissioner is prompt in
responding to email correspondence. If anything were to come up that would
cause me to take longer then expected on an image, I will contact you
immediately to let you know. If I have not received payment by the time I reach
your slot, your slot will be pushed back by one and the next commissioner in
line will have their work completed first. (Please note that, outside of
special circumstances, if I have not received payment within two weeks of
assigning a commission slot, you will lose your spot entirely until you are
ready to restart the commission process - this, out of fairness, frees up the
space for able and waiting commissioners.)
During the creation process, you will
receive two sketches via email. The first sketch gives you the opportunity to
make revisions - this is your only chance to request revisions to your line art,
so please use this opportunity wisely. The second sketch is a preview of what
your final image will look like including the revisions you requested based on
the first sketch. You will also receive the preliminary flat-color preview of
their commission, with the opportunity to request revisions to the colors only.
(Lines are final after their revision during the sketch stage.)
IMPORTANT: Again, commissions are allowed one revision to the image's
line art sketch phase, and one revision to the image's flat colors in
its flats stage. Lines and colors beyond these revisions are final. Maintaining
minimal revisions allows me to keep commissions at a reasonable price for
non-commercial purchasers, as it allows me to create them on a more time-friendly
basis.
Any revisions requested beyond
these two opportunities will automatically be charged a professional hourly
rate of $25-$35 per hour, depending on the complexity of the revisions requested.Commissioners
are requested to pay the additional fee up front before receiving the results
of the additional revisions.
Content Restrictions: I will not
illustrate pornographic or fetish-related images, anything involving hateful,
racist, or bigoted imagery or symbolism.
PLEASE NOTE: I reserve the right to add an additional by-case plus-charge for
characters or images requiring an excess amount of detail to account for the
extra time it would take to illustrate them. I also reserve the right to deny a
commissioners offer if the content being requested is at all objectable to the
rules previously stated.

commission work.

with your logo. Contact me for more information regarding the actual price of
your logo at erickahampton@me.com

considered commercial works have an additional fee attached to the existing
price of the illustration. Contact me by e-mail for more information
Let Me Reiterate:
Please note that I accept commission
requests through email to erickahampton@me.com only.
As I offer commissions through multiple
different websites, I cannot accept commission requests through any other
manner then through email . Requests made through forum commenting, DeviantArt
Notes , journal or blog comments will likely be passed up or asked to
email me directly with their offers - Commissioners should contact me directly
at erickahampton@me.com to get their commission slot. It’s the most streamline way for me
to keep everyone’s work in order on a fair, first-come-first-serve basis.
Keeping all request correspondence via email will also allow me to spend less
time trying to juggle messages from multiple sites, and more time creating as
awesome a piece for you as I can manage - And that is, by all means, best for
us all ;)
Thanks, everyone! ^_^
