Commission info!

These are base prices that will change depending on the complexity of your character and idea. Some props, clothing, and certain character interactions may contribute to raising the quoted price as well. Please refer to the gallery here or my FA gallery for extra examples! If you would like more specific examples, please feel free to reach out. All prices are in USD. Payment is either upfront or for commissions over $100, half upfront and half upon delivery of the sketch.
Please note additional characters will be 50-100% more depending on the request. My characters can be used, but they do not lower the price.By commissioning me, you are agreeing to my TOSSome patreon tiers include a discount on commissions!

Mailing is free for a regular envelope or $5 for a rigid photo mailer. Mailed badges do not include clips (too likely to damage the art/packaging and more expensive)Scribble badges- MS Paint style or UV reactive paper with your character drawn real quick and sloppy on purpose. No WIPs or changes! 30Digital badges are printed on high quality paper, laminated and mailed. You also receive the digital file that can be used for avatars. Reprinting fee is $10 if the badge is lost or damagedDigital headshot/bust 50
Digital halfbody 70Mixed media badges are inked digitally, printed on thick bristol, and then colored by hand with markers, colored pencils, gel pens, etc. Elements will often feature glitter, UV reaction, glow, etc. Badges will be scanned in for the digital file. Reprinting fee is $10, or $5 to have an extra copy made and shipped along with the original. Copies will NOT have any special elements like glitter etc due to the properties of the paper.

Conventions!

At conventions I sell some items that are unavailable anywhere else like certain prints, temporary tattoos, my popular pup cups, and sticker books!
Of course, I also have lots of stickers, pins, and keychains available as well as on-the-spot sketches and badges!I am always improving, always adding more designs and options. My current planned additions are light-up collars with acrylic tags, and a cookbook zine.To the best of my ability, I focus on handmade, or USA-made merchandise to try and keep my carbon footprint as low as possible. I do all of my own printing on high quality archival paper too!Come stop by and consider feeding the bear!!
