COMMISSION INFORMATION
I’m available for custom art commissions in a variety of formats, including character portraits, book covers, website/youtube banners, and bookmark designs. Whatever your project may be, feel free to email me (phoebe@phoebewoodcreates.com) with any inquiries. Listed below are some common commission types that I’ve done in the past. All prices are listed in GBP (pounds sterling), so please google current conversion rates to get an idea of what the cost will be in your currency if you live outside of Great Britain.
Portrait Commission
£75
This is the perfect option if you’d like a portrait painted of your character (or friend/relative). Your character will be shown from the shoulders up, as per the image on the left, with a simple background that enhances their features.
You’ll get a chance once I’ve painted the portrait to suggest any revisions, ensuring that the painting is a perfect representation of your character.
This is a ‘personal’ commission, which means that you can post and print the art for your own purposes, but you cannot sell it in any form (you may not use it on your book cover or merchandise). If you wish to purchase those commercial rights, you can do so for an additional cost.
Half-Body Character Art
£150
With a half-body commission, you’ll get to see more of your character. They will be painted from approximately the hips or waist upwards. The background will be more detailed, and I’ll paint your character’s outfit. This is a great opportunity to show us more of your character’s personality – how do they dress and where do they live? If you want to feature more than one character (a couple, for example), I can do this for an additional cost.

Book Cover
£250 - £500
I’d be thrilled to work with you to create the perfect cover for your novel. Prices vary, as there are a lot of factors that will affect the complexity of the project. For example: number of characters shown, complexity of background, whether it’s a front cover or full wrap-around cover, and whether you want me to handle typography (as per the example on the left) or whether you are only looking for art and will be arranging the other design elements yourself.
To ensure that this cover is exactly what you’re envisioning, I’ll start the process by drawing you multiple sketches based on your brief, including colour and composition variations. You’ll choose the option that looks best, guaranteeing that we’re moving in the right direction as I paint the cover. Once I’ve finished painting, you will also get the chance to suggest revisions should anything not meet with your expectations.
This commission option includes commercial rights as standard, which means that you receive full rights to use the artwork on your book cover and any other items that you wish to sell.
