So...I've decided to open up for commissions. Yay for me! I've sold things/had a few jobs in the real world, but selling over the internet is a whole 'nother experience. So go ahead and ask questions. Lots of questions.
Here are the basic details:
TRADITIONALGRAPHITE
Graphite is my media of choice and the one that I would say I have the most experience in. Most of my graphite drawings are in a realism type style. I use Canson 90lb drawing paper. 11" x 14" is my default size, but you can request different sizes, of course.
A few examples can be seen here:

I use the same paper and techniques for my coloring pencil drawings as I do for my graphite ones, but I more often draw animated and cartoony characters with them, as well as the realistic things. This is what I use for most of my illustrations and often switch between regular pencils and the watercolor kind.
A few examples can be seen here:
cass15.deviantart.com/gallery/…WATERCOLORS
Watercolors are my newest venture in art land. I use them in illustrative works and, very rarely, a realistic portrait piece. I use a high quality Strathmore 400 watercolor paper for them. 11" x 15" is the default size here but, again, other sizes can be requested
A few examples can be seen here:
cass15.deviantart.com/gallery/…DIGITALMy digital drawings are done either in Illustrator CS5 or Photoshop CS5 and, in some cases, both. Usually, I use Photoshop for realistic digital paintings and Illustrator for less real and more animated illustrations.
A few examples can be seen here:
cass15.deviantart.com/gallery/…DESIGNLOGOS
All of my logos are done in Adobe Illustrator, and so are in vector format, meaning that they are easily resizable to any size without any loss of quality. I can send logos in a variety of formats, but will always send a default of eps and jpg files.
A few examples can be seen here:
cass15.deviantart.com/gallery/…BUSINESS CARDS, ETC.
Business cards and other corporate/design projects can also be made. And don't stop there - have anything else you want to request? Brochures? Fliers and ads? All of those can be done as well. Printing can be done for a higher price in the continental US.

DETAILS, DETAILS, DETAILS...What will I do? Just about anything. I consider my specialties in drawing to be equine and human portraiture, but I'm willing to try anything; kangaroos, kitty cats, and koalas? Bring it on.
I will do nudity, but only when in a tasteful, artsy way. I'm not going to draw out your porn.
I will not draw anime/manga.
I will draw in other cartoon type styles.
So how does it work? Here's the process for drawings and illustrations: You put in your request (just send me a note or leave me a comment saying "Hey, I want this and bla done"; I ask you for specific details if you haven't provided enough and then guesstimate a price for you; you either say "Awesome!" and accept the deal or "No way in hell am I paying you that" and decline it; You send over a deposit (25% - 50%, depending on price) and I get straight to working on it and give you a potential timeline; Over the course of the drawing/painting (traditional), I send you a rough sketch at the beginning and then a WIP or two as I work on it. This is your chance to make changes - I won't alter a finished drawing; I send you a photo of the finished piece and you send me the other bit of the price; I get to work packaging it up for shipping and then send it out to you via USPS.
For logos and corp things, it's a bit simpler. The same idea, but with more client involvement during the logo creation process. I will send a sheet with several logo sketches after a deal is agreed upon and a deposit sent, and the client can then choose and alter the ideas.
What do I need? For drawings and paintings based off of a real animal/person, I need at least one reference photo, more is better. For logos and corp, I need to know what your company does, corp colors, branding specifications, etc.
