Hello everyone! I’ve opened up regular commissions again! YAY! I tried my best to balance a good range of prices with a non-overwhelming number of options, haha.
Please read the following if you’re interested! If you can’t afford/don’t want commissions right now, signal boosts are appreciated! Thanks so much!
Prices are in USD (Paypal only!) and are based on how long it takes me to draw the thing. See below for the specifics! Note: I may charge extra if I can tell right away that it will be exceptionally difficult for me to draw or will take me much longer than normal to finish. If that’s the case, I’ll be sure to let you know before I start drawing and give you an accurate price quote up front. As for subject matter…
I will gladly draw:
- OCs/Fan Characters
- Fanart/Fandom stuff
- Furries/Anthro
- Body Hor.ror/Mild Go.re (as long as it’s not super intense; if you’re not sure, just ask!)
- Mecha (with sufficient references)
- Creatures (monsters/dragons/large animals etc)
I am NOT comfortable drawing:
- Po.rn (sorry!)
~PRICES~
A “bust” includes the head and upper chest, and sometimes an arm if the character design is simple enough. “Fullbody” is the whole character.
As for non-humanoid characters, “bust” includes small, simple animals (think something like Pikachu or a house cat), while “fullbody” includes larger animals like a horse or a dragon.
SKETCH - Loose and fluid with simple flat coloring. (I don’t have many examples of sketches on hand, sorry! I tend to post more finished drawings.)
Bust: $10 (+$5 extra char.)
Fullbody: $16 (+$8 extra char.)
Page: $25 (default monochrome - ask for quote for full color)
Background: solid/pattern/color splashes only
PAINTED - Clean lines and full shading with textures and effects.
Bust: $25 (+$15 extra char.)
Fullbody: $45 (+$25 extra char.)
Background: (+$10-20 depending on complexity)
OTHER - If you have something else in mind, just ask!

I’ve done plenty of pieces that were done in a style different from most of my other work. Like the style of a specific piece I’ve done in the past and want me to repeat it? Link me to it and I can give you a price quote!
~CONTACT~
Email: carliemantel@gmail.com
Please include:
- “Commission: [your name/tumblr URL]” in the subject line of the email
- A short description of what you’d like
- Any visual references you have. Descriptions are OK, but I need something visual to go along with that in order to know what you mean! Image search results will also work if you don’t have anything/don’t draw.
- Optional: any extra details about the commission itself that you’d like me to know (whether you want transparent/solid/patterned background, a deadline you want me to finish by, specific dimensions so you can use it for your phone/desktop wallpaper, etc)
- Where to send the invoice, as well as the final high-res digital file, if not the email you used to contact me.
I usually have my phone on me so I can see email alerts, but sometimes I’m easier to reach on tumblr - send me an ask/IM to let me know you sent an email about commissions if I don’t respond quickly.
Thanks for reading this far! Again, signal boosts are very much appreciated to help me get the word out if you’re not interested in commissions right now.
Thanks so much for your support! <3

This is actually such an amazingly motivational post because it explains visually exactly what art block is. Do you know what art block is?
Art block is that moment when you realise your skills could be so much more then they currently are. It frustrates you to draw because you can finally see your drawings differently. You can see where they can be better and you want them to be better.
It’s not a matter of “I can’t draw today”, it’s a matter of “I imagined this would turn out so much better” and “there’s something missing, I just know it. What technique did I miss.”
You’ve got past that temporary phase of analysing and researching and now you’re able to incorporate it in your own work, you just need to figure out how, and when you get past that art block. Well, you’ll see the improvement before you know it. Slowly, but it’s there. And once you get comfortable with using those new skills you’ll move on and start analysing again, and you’ll see where you can improve.
Stay experimental and open to learn, it’s the quickest way to get over art block.
