STEP TO THE SIDE

Hello there, Internet.  With only one year of college to go, I need to start building my nest as it were so that I don’t plummet broke and helpless into the Real World. So I am attempting to make use of my silly degree by opening up commissions!

• Currency is USD. Prices are negotiable and may change depending on the detail, research, or materials called for. Currency is converted by Paypal. 
• Above prices and media are only guidelines, not limitations. If you want something a little different than what you see here, let me know!
• I work between traditional and digital media when finalizing my pieces; all pieces will be delivered digitally in PNG format unless otherwise specified. 
• I aim to keep diligent contact with my clients to ensure complete satisfaction, so don’t hesitate to drop me a line while the work is in progress. 

—About my Work:
A word that sums up the wealth of my work is “bizarre”, treading throughout the spectrum of wacky and silly to strange and downright creepy.  My strengths lie in expressive humanoids (including fantasy races), composition, and imbuing feeling.  My weaknesses are that of the industrial and technological (architecture, machines, weapons), yet also of the organic (“still life” items like flowers and fruit, innocuous landscapes*).  I am willing to challenge my weaknesses.  My influences are from comic books, German expressionism, western animation, and some urban/street art.

I will not take commissions that are pornographic, hateful, or excessively violent.  I also reserve the right to decline commissions.  I reserve the right to use commissioned works in my galleries, portfolio, etc. 

—Interested?:
Please e-mail me at ritascomic@gmail.com if you have any questions.  You may also send me a message on tumblr. Please include in the e-mail the type of commission and any references that you may have.  I accept payment via Paypal.  Works worth over $10 require a down payment of half of the total price.

*I have always felt that backgrounds should place a character in a deliberate atmosphere rather than simply exist. If a background doesn’t strengthen or serve a purpose to tell the story of a piece, I personally believe it’s better off being omitted.
