Animus Sanctus Imago ~ Frequently Asked Questions
What do I need to give you or tell you for the creation of this piece?
That is entirely up to you the amount of information you want to share. Please note, that I am not a therapist or licensed professional to help with trauma or mental health. Do not share your personal information with me or any stranger online. With that being said, if you want a certain mood, emotion, or representation in the piece you can discuss it with me to better understand your vision.
Do I need to provide you with references?
Yes! While these portraits are mostly artistic liberty, you are encouraged to provide references. Both written descriptions and images are welcome, as well as drawings or inspirational music if that fits the subject of your request.
Artistic liberty? Your Vision?
With the type of work being of a spiritual nature, I work heavily with what I feel and see from you and/or your references. If there is a particular direction or style you would like the piece to be reminiscent of, we can discuss. The client is welcome to suggest things like mood, color, theme, etc. (i.e. flowers, crystals, blue, relaxed)
How will my commission be completed?
That is up to you! I offer both digital and traditional media as options, though bear in mind, traditional media will cost more and take longer.
Do I get the original?
Yes and no. For digital work, you will receive the high resolution jpeg and/or png files of your piece. Traditional media pieces, you will receive the high resolution scan as a jpeg and/or png file. The original traditional media artwork IS NOT included with the commission, however, can be purchased separately. I am happy to discuss pricing if you want the original piece. For usage of work after you have received your finished piece, please refer to the Terms of Service.
How long will it take?
The process of finishing a piece can be between 1 – 3 months depending on the complexity of the request. I require a longer amount of time due to my health and family. Should the project’s time extend beyond the time frame given, the client will be notified. I will give weekly updates when applicable/necessary, please DO NOT bombard me with emails.
How much does it cost?
It varies. All Imago Sancta Animi commission work starts at a base price of $400 USD with a $25 non-refundable fee for reserving a commission slot. Dependent upon the complexity of the request, the price will go up. I am willing to work out payment plans for larger requests.
