Character work FAQ

Common questions across the bucket

Answers that apply to every product in this bucket. For pricing-specific or workflow questions, see the full FAQ.

Full FAQ
How do the tiers differ?

Tiers describe rendering complexity, not subject matter. Basic is clean line and flat color. Standard is fully rendered with shadow, texture, and a suggested setting. Premium adds dynamic pose, atmospheric background, and effects. Same character at any tier, different finish.

Can I commission a portrait without a token, or add a token later?

Yes to both. The bundle is just a smaller package price when bought together. A token added later from an existing portrait runs $25 too, same flat rate. Tokens commissioned without a portrait start at $40.

What's the deposit?

30% upfront to hold the slot, with the remainder due on delivery. The deposit is refundable until sketches begin and non-refundable after. Subscriptions bill the full month upfront instead, no deposit.

What species and classes do you cover?

Every D&D 5e species and class, every Pathfinder ancestry, homebrew species, and characters from your own setting. Tieflings, drow, dragonborn, kobolds, custom mixes. Send a description and the studio will paint it.
