I want an illustration. How do I commission you?
My rates are based on usage (how you'll use the final product) and the level of detail in the artwork. When I take on any illustration project, I always do concept sketches first. This lets you know exactly what youre getting and is included in the price of the finished illustration. 50% payment should be done at this stage. The other 50% will be paid at the end of the project. Final high quality artwork will not be send until it has been fully paid for.
What if I need the illustration right away?
If itīs possible, I'm happy to accommodate to any schedule.
How long does it normally take?
Each project is unique; but generally, this should take around 3-5 days.
What happens if I don't like the concept drawing?
I can do a different drawing or some changes. The purpose of the concept drawing phase is to get something you really do like.
What if I just want a few changes?
We can make any small change or fix you want during the concept drawing phase. After this, big changes can be done, but it will cost you extra. Different colour schemes to choose from will be charged as color concepts.
I like one of the images you have already created. Can i get the same one?
Yes, but only from my portfolio.
Iīm looking for a different style. Do you know any other freelance illustrator?
Yes! www.danielbayona.com
I'm ready to get started. What is the next step?
Thank you so much for requiring my services for your illustration project. Letīs get started!
Do you have a budget and deadline in mind?
Letīs talk about them! Some projects need more time than others, and sometimes budgets do not cover the real price of the amount of work and time it takes. Ideally, we will find a solution for your project so that budget, work and deadline meet, so don`t worry... Also, it may be that my own work schedule is taken up with other projects so knowing your deadline and budget is very important! I like to focus one illustration project at a time so i can give my full dedication to it. I would only ask the client for the same atention until project is complete Email and phone calls for doubts and feedback are more than welcome!
What is your required style for the illustration(s)?
As an illustrator i am capable of delivering different artistic styles. Please take a look at my portafolio in this website or at http://www.flickr.com/photos/giselarourapuig/ for my complete artwork. It is fine to supply illustrations from other illustrators as perhaps composition reference and for general idea, never to copy...
What is the use for the illustration?
This could be print, web, or both. A logo, a book cover... you tell me!
The illustration could be for a specific space on a printed page, or for a designated area on a web page. Sizes for print is normally supplied in centimetres (cm) / millimeters (mm), while sizes for web are given in pixels (px). If the illustration is for print, I will require certain specifications from the printers in order to set up the artwork ready for print. This information would need to be supplied by the client.
Do you know what you want? Shape and colour?
If you have a very clear idea of what you want please let know from the begining.The design could be black/white or colour. For charater design please be as specific as possible unless you would like me to offer you some ideas: Sex, age, nationality...
MissBayona`s Pipeline.
Starting once the project/budget/deadline are approved, reasonable changes or fixes can be done along all the project. Radical changes and different colour schemes to choose from are possible but not budget ideal: Will charge you extra for them.
1. Sketch Approval: will send fast line drawings or concept sketches for general composition feeling. Changes will be done until final sketch is approved and presented again to client with final beautiful line and full background details.
2. Colour Approval: will send blocking colour sketches until approved and presented again to client together with the final lines.
3. Final Illustration: last touch-ups. No radical changes should be done at this point without affecting inicial budget.
