What's new you ask? Well, we had our hydro cut and then the eviction order finally came. We have moved to the only place available to us other than the street but then I cannot complain since it is a really nice place. We moved to my wife's late father's condo apartment for the time being until we can get money to pay off our debts and I can get employment. Only drawback was having to take our family of kitties to my mother's for her to cat-sit for us for a while.
Because we have been moving and cleaning out (and still are) the home we have been forced to leave I have not had time nor energy to keep to my promise of drawing daily but I have been bringing my sketch book with me in hopes of finding a moment to do so. Today we are taking a rest so that we can finish everything finally tomorrow (our anniversary) and then be able to start getting back to business, both of us working on art for sale and me looking for other employment to pay for testing to re-certify for my former and future career position.
So to that end I submit to all of you, who may be interested,

I DO COMMISSIONS!

Miniature Figures CONSTRUCTION CONVERSION and PROFESSIONAL PAINTING
My fees:
· Single miniature
o Construction = Cost of miniature + 10% of Cost of Miniature per hour (ie A single metal miniature costing $20 Canadian would cost an additional $1 to $2 Canadian for me to construct since it takes about 1/2 hour to 1 hour to do one miniature. I remove all flash lines, drill gun barrels and green stuff gaps included in the charge. Total fee would be $21.00 to $22.00 Canadian for this $20 miniature)
o Conversion = Cost of base miniature + Cost of Bitz + 25% of Cost of miniature per hour (ie A single metal miniature costing $20 Canadian using $5 Canadian worth of Bitz would cost and additional $6.25 per hour. Conversions vary in complexity so total cost would be subject to that factor. Most conversions will take a minimum of 2 hours to 3 hours to complete and do not include painting. Total fee would be $37.50 + Canadian for this $20 miniature)
o Professional Painting = (Cost of miniature + (10% of Cost of paints used x Level of painting requested x total hours) (ie A single metal miniature costing $20 Canadian using paint from 10 colours each worth $4 Canadian would cost an additional $4 for the paints. The $24 Canadian subtotal is then multiplied by the Painting Level times the hours taken. For a Level 2 paint job which would take me an average 1 hour per miniature the total fee would be $8 Canadian. This fee would not include Construction or Conversion)
§ Level 1 = basic colours and basing no highlights or washes
§ Level 2 = up to 3 highlights and at least 1 wash with basic basing
§ Level 3 = custom painting with multiple highlights and washes and custom basing
§ Level 4 = Golden Daemon quality
· Multiple miniatures (up to 20)
o As for single miniatures but multiplied by the number of miniatures
· Armies
o Again based on the number of miniatures involved

I am willing to take on 3 single orders per month or 2 multiple miniature orders per month.
Armies are a special case and I will only do one at a time and the level of painting and number of models requested will determine the time necessary.
All miniature commissions will be done contract. I accept Pay Pal at present only.
Shipping and handling would be at the expense of the person ordering the commission.
Costs of miniatures are not cumulative for Construction Conversion and Painting but it is what the the additional fees would be based upon.
