Brand of paint used: All kinds of paints, the majority of paints I get from Hobby Lobby. If you are wanting certain brand of paint I can do that for an extra cost if I have to buy something I dont have in stock.
Are pet portraits offered?: Yes, but I will need clear pictures of both sides of your pet.
Do you do duplicates of other’s commissions/paint schemes?: No. If you commission me, I will not duplicate your original idea/paint scheme for someone else. I do not duplicate other artist’s paint schemes knowingly. I will duplicate my OWN previously existing paint schemes.
Do you do production piece repaints on commission?: No.
Shipping method: Double-boxed. Bubble wrap & peanuts. In the packaging I get the sculpt in.
Shipping rates/insurance: Tracking & insurance required. I use USPS and ship from the zipcode of 80733. I use click and ship, so I send Priority Mail for those.
Ships to: US & Canada
Artist location: Colorado, USA
Other comments: I work with the eyes/gem stones that are provided by Windstone Editions unless it’s something I painted outside of a commission. If you want other eyes/gem stones, you will have to cover the additional costs. My painting speed varies depending upon my work/life schedule and complexity of the paint scheme. I will give a rough estimate of completion time when you contact me and describe what it is you want.
Payment Methods & “Terms of Service”: I accept Paypal. When you pay me, please use the ‘paying for goods/services’ option. I accept payment for commissions in installments if you want, just let me know you want to do that when you first contact me. Payments must be completed within a reasonable amount of time that we can settle on after your initial contact.
On all commissions there must be a non-refundable down payment. Down payment is sending me the sculpture you want painted or the cost of the sculpture plus the shipping and handling to have it shipped to me. I subtract the down payment from the total cost of the commission. So if you send me a sculpt straight from Windstone, I will subtract the amount on the invoice from the cost of the commission. If I will be ordering the sculpt, please let me know what color eyes/gems you want so I can get the correct ones. I don’t have spares!
I will send progress pictures to you via e-mail if you wish. Initially, these can look messy. It’s not a disaster so please don’t panic. It’s just the nature of how I paint. If something happens, I will let you know and we can proceed from there. If I finish ahead of schedule on a large commission I will patiently wait until the planned end of the installment payments. The lines of communication are always open. If I don’t respond promptly (within a week) to e-mail, something has happened to me. Never hesitate to contact me with concerns. You can always contact me via Facebook, or email.
Once full payment has been completed, I will ship the item/items and provide you with tracking information.
If you change your mind on a commission, I reserve the right to keep or sell it to cover costs. My finances CAN’T afford mistakes or changes of heart. Also note, any payment you send OUTSIDE of the down payment will be refunded if you choose to cancel a commission. I will also give a refund if the unthinkable happens and the sculpt breaks during shipping (but you must provide proof via photo).
I WILL accept trades as a form of payment for commission, and would be willing to discuss this with you.Cara S.
I wonder…how many of us already have our PYO piece bought or have one to do already? I bought mine this last time they restocked.

I really hope you liked him!
Here is the piece I received from silverpullet. Thank you!

I. Scared. I have never done a art piece for someone else. It’s one thing to do something for yourself and if it don’t look good, no biggie. But I want my person to be happy lol. What if they don’t like it?
