Adam Howie
Artist | Professional | Digital Art
United Kingdom
I have been drawing since I could hold a pencil, and I haven’t really stopped. I got into digital art during my time at university (where I studied computer science rather than art) and it is now my main medium, although I use mainly acrylics/inks and/or charcoal in my traditional works, and other mediums as my work grows and develops and as I try to find my artistic voice.

For me art is a way of expressing inner thoughts, questions, and doubts, and also of trying to, in some way, describe those things we cannot quite put into words. It allows me to explore difficult issues, problems, but also joys and loves, it frees me to express myself in a way that allows others to perhaps examine a part of themselves and look deeper within.

Many thanks to all who not only take the time to look but also comment on my work. I probably will not get back to you all individually but please do accept my thanks, its is amazing to me to know that people enjoy my work.

Commissions are... OPEN!

(Updated - 2013-02-03)

After a long time to think about it, to try and get what I want to do correct and to hopefully make a fair system, I am at last opening myself up to commissions from my fellow dA-peeps... at a reduced rate than I charge elsewhere :). Since this is my first time doing this sort of thing, I think I covered everything below, but please do comment or send me a note if you have questions or need clarifications.

Commissions and client work folder - [link]


COMMISSION SLOTS: (open/closed/accepted/concept/draft/finalising/finished)
- SLOT 01: <open>
- SLOT 02: <open>
- SLOT 03: <open>
- SLOT 04: <open>
- SLOT 05: <open>


So, here is my pricing structure (including special discounts! :)) followed by my policy/rule/thingys for commissions and the commission form

PRICING:
- These prices are exclusive to members of DeviantArt ONLY, normally I charge more
- These prices are only guides, some projects may be more complicated, any such change in prices will be agreed upon before starting work
- A deposit will be required for all work, this will be a 25% of the agreed fee (rounded up :))
- At the moment I am only accepting payment through paypal unless otherwise arranged.
- Prices are in British Pounds, hey, its where I live, You can always google a rough conversion rate :)
- If you think these prices are high, I am sorry but I am making a go at being an artist as a career and I kinda need to pay my bills :)

Portrait (no background)
- Black and White - £10
- Colour - £20
- please ensure you have at least one image you think would make a good portrait or a selection I can look through
- Full Body will double cost
- Background add £15

Art work/Illustration:
- £20-£75
- basically covers everything thats not a portrait, the more complex the project the higher the cost
- artwork on the theme/subject of your choice
- I tend to do artwork inspired by songs/emotions/literature so if you just want to give me something and let me run with it thats ok
- I am always learning so may be able to do something else, you can ask, just dont be disappointed if I have to say no :)

Commission Examples:
Portrait:

RPG Character: (portrait, full body, and background)

Artwork:




HOW THE PROCESS (should) WORK:
- Check if there are slots open if not please do keep trying
- Choose your poison, make sure you have the funds, fill in form below
- Send completed for to me as a Note, clearly marked with "COMMISSION REQUEST" in title
- I will reply to confirm or reject the request, and if possible to confirm the costs (some images may cost more due to complexity) and anything else that I require (e.g. images, more detail, etc)
- The deposit will be expected to be transferred to my paypal account before work begins
- I will then start work and send updates when relevant (many may not require any)
- I will then email (from illusionaryconstructs.com) finished artwork to you (or upload it somewhere you can access)
- I will post a version on my account linking to commissioners account (if you do not want this please say)
- at any point in the process we both reserve the right to walk away, you will receive a refund (this may not be 100% is image is almost completed), however you will forfeit any rights to use any images produced.
- PLEASE NOTE: YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO CONSTANTLY REVISE YOUR COMMISSION, I WILL ALLOW SOME FLEXIBILITY WITH YOUR WISHES, BUT ON AVERAGE I WILL ALLOW 3 MAJOR REVISIONS TO A PIECE


NOTES:
- You will be allowed to use this image, for non-profit uses (e.g. you cant sell it), and you can use it wish where every you wish, as long as credit is given and linked back to my dA profile
- If you want exclusive rights and use of the image created this can be arranged for an additional fee
- The finished pieces will be appropriate size for the image (typical artwork is around 3000-5000px)
- I reserve the right to refuse any commission, please dont be offended
- I will aim to do pieces within in a month of receiving deposit (via paypal)
- not that it needs to be said but I will not do anything dodgy or illegal

hi! i've faved some of your deviations but i believe i haven't expressed how compelling this “Atheism for Lent” series felt to me. i'm not familiar with the idea (only a little aware of psychoanalysis propositions), nevertheless i'm deeply touched.

it's a wonderful art! really meaningful!

Your art is full of meaning. You have the ability to let your drawings carry emotions even though they don't always have faces. That's really cool and inspiring. Keep going!
I'm supporting you by watching! :)

I absolutely love your art. I love that you car carry emotions through your pictures even though some of the things you draw don't carry facial features. Truly beautiful, can't wait to see what you post next.
