Bust

Head to chest / ribs. May include one or both arms and hands depending on the pose.

Half Body

Head to thigh.

Full Body

Full body, though for some poses and compositions, I may crop parts to avoid awkward empty space. (Mostly applies to legs/feet)

Additional Options – Base prices for personal use
  • Close up / internal view – Rendered 35€ | Sketch style: 15€
  • Background – Rendered: starting at 50€ | Sketch style: starting at 30€
  • Variations (cum ver., clothes on/off ver.) – Rendered: starting at 25€ | Sketch style: starting at 15€
  • Commission can be kept private for an extra fee of 30% of the total price. Commission can be posted without your name attached without extra cost (“Commission for anon”).

Commissions that require me to design a character* from a set of inspiration images and/or a written description will incur an additional fee.
Detailed armor, tattoos, wings and similar details may incur an additional fee.

*This does not apply if your character has a complete visual reference specific to that character (i.e. a reference sheet, picrew reference, previous commission or artwork done by you). However, it does apply for AI generated images, which I will only use as vague inspiration. I am less likely to accept a commission request that includes AI generated images.

Testimonials

What clients have to say:

“

Mue and I have worked together on numerous projects for my books, and every one has been an absolute joy. Mue's art is incredible, and he is amazing to work with from start to finish. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Working with Mue is always such a pleasure! He's always so responsive with questions and ideas to make the piece the best that it can be, and is so enthusiastic and excited about the art that he makes. The process is smooth and you always know where your piece stands, and the results have always been incredible. I love the way that he portrays my characters!

Mue is great about giving you a realistic time expectation and sticking to it. Communication is always strong and I fully trust him when handing him even a somewhat free reign idea and knowing what I'll get back will be better than anything I could have been super specific about. Has made me laugh and grin thru the entire working process.

As someone who regularly commissions other artists, Mue is my favorite to work with. His workflow is structured clearly, easy to navigate for clients and the communication is on point! He always does his very best to work with me as a customer in order to make my wacky and sexy visions come true - and it always culminates in artwork that I find myself marveling at even years later.

Your satisfaction is a priority. To keep things running smoothly, two revisions are included in the base price:

  • Sketch phase: You will receive a rough sketch for review. At this point, you may request major changes to the pose or composition.
  • COMMERCIAL ONLY – Lines / refined phase and color pass: A quick step to confirm the character drawing and discuss final color palette for the art.
  • Final phase: After signing off on the sketch/lines, I will proceed to finish the piece. Once finished, you may request one round of minor revisions (color tweaks, expression changes, minor details)
  • Always free: Correcting a detail I missed that was specified in your initial brief.
  • Futher revisions: Requests for major edits after the sketch has been approved, or multiple rounds of edits, will incur an extra fee. I will disclose these costs to you before proceeding, and they will be invoiced separately.

  • A full refund of the net amount received (Total minus any non-refundable deposits and payment processor fees) is available if:
    • I am unable to complete your commission due to unforeseen circumstances.
    • You request a refund before I have started your commission.
  • If you wish to cancel after the sketching phase has begun but before the final rendering phase, a partial refund may be offered at my discretion, to compensate for the work already performed.
  • Once the commission has moved into the final rendering phase or has been completed and delivered, no refunds will be granted.
  • Note on fees: Please be aware that payment processors may not return their processing fees to me when I issue a refund. Therefore, these fees cannot be included in the refunded amount.
