Speedpainting WeeksSpeedpaintings for 6 Euros / 9 USD – Speedpainting weeks are here! I will do a quick coloured painting of your characters or whatever you want! - Only until December 6th!

Open to commissionsIf you want me to paint you a picture, send me a note or an email (ranarh@jsl-art.de) – I have free slots. I paint almost everything: characters, environments, creatures, objects, ... here you can see my repertoire.

Price and ProductThe prices are negotiable and depend on the actual commission, as a guideline: More expensive are additional elements (more characters, complicated objects, animals), as well as detailed background on simple pictures. Cheaper are motifs without background or partial shots (e.g. 3/4-portraits). On series of several paintings of a similar style or motifs, I grant a discount (5-10%). – The prices in USD are based on an exchange rate of 1.50 USD per Euro.

More questions?I want a painting, how do I get one? – Send me a note, or an email (ranarh@jsl-art.de), and tell me what you'd like. Or just tell me you want one, and we figure it out together.
Will you paint my character? – Sure, it's my speciality.
How do I pay? – I accept PayPal (and, within Germany, money transfer). Usually half in advance or after the first sketch, the rest after you received the finished painting.
What do I get? – A high-res digital painting (via email), also the right to publish, to distribute, to crop for your own needs and add text or borders (for banners, avatars, etc.) Not allowed is commercial use (making profit with the painting), but we can negotiate about that right, too.
How long does a work take? – For simple pictures, it is about three to four days; with a lot of edits, maximum a week. Complex works will take two to three weeks, maximum one month. You will most likely receive the first sketch in a matter of one day. Provided the communication is fluid, and I don't break a finger.
I want something in a different style, is that possible? – Just ask, I'm flexible. Most of the time, there is something I can do.
