I am now accepting badges and 8x10 commissions. For details on how to make a commission, please read below.

I'm known as the Badge Queen at furry conventions! You too can get a full-color name badge of your character. Badges are sturdy plastic, top-loading, 3"x 4" with metail clip. The standard landscape (horizontal) format includes your character's name and headshot, and is $35. The portrait (vertical) format allows for your character's name and full-body shot, and costs $40.

8x10 commissions are coloured with Prismacolor markers, and start at $100 for a one-character piece with simple background (for example, the character sitting on a chair, or a colour block behind the character).

Here's How It Works

1. Email me with your request. What does your character look like? Be as specific as you can; I'll ask you for more details if I need them. Does your character have a favorite outfit, typical expression? (Remember that a badge is very small and cannot accommodate too much detail.)

2. You send in your payment by PayPal (to: marci@frithcat.com), and let me know what your mailing address is. Include shipping: $5 for badges and $8 for 8x10 pieces within Canada and the US ($7 and $10 for International shipping).

(Note: All of my commissions are done in order of when I receive them, but priority is given to those that are paid for. Commissions are not started until payment has been received.)

3. I draw a pencil sketch of your commission and email it to you. This is your chance to correct any details I may have forgotten and request minor changes. (There is a fee for major changes.)

4. I finish inking and coloring the picture and mail the original piece of artwork to you.

Copies And The Web

The copyright for a badge belongs to the person whose commission it is. If you want to put your picture up on your website, go right ahead-- let me know, though, I'd love to see! And if you want to add a link back to my site, I'd be most gratified. Please respect copyrights when dealing with art on the web. Copyright for 8x10 commissions is retained by me so that I can make prints, unless we make other arrangements (you can pay an additional fee for an exclusive commission, where I agree to make no prints or post the piece online).

For detailed copyright information, especially as it relates to artwork, Glen Wooten and Mel White have written an excellent article covering most FAQ's you can think of. Visit it here.
