<html> <body> I emailed SabretoothErmine with our basic group picture idea and asked her want she would charge if we were interested. Here is her reply: -------- Heya Matthias! I would be honored to do a picture like that ^.^ I could give you a deal on a silver-level painting commission (my <a href="http://www.furaffinity.net/view/13420017/">price chart</a> has some examples), since that would be the style I'd prefer to use for it. I'd rather not use the "toony color" style as doing large groups in that style is super finnicky and takes forever >.< For a cheaper option, the "colored sketch" style would work well too, but I'm hesitant about using the bronze-level painting as it tends to be a messy, chaotic arting process and would easily get super confusing with too many characters. I'll give you some quotes: Silver painting - $50 per character, and if there's eight or more characters I'll do the background for free. Seven or less, the background would be the standard price, between $30 and $50 depending on complexity. Colored sketch - $25 per character. Normally I don't do backgrounds for colored sketch pieces, but if you want one I'm willing to do it, whether it's a quick, sketchy background or a full shaded one (the latter being the same as I'd do for the silver painting option, and with the same price tag). While normally I would adjust the per-character prices on an individual basis for complexity (so people with very complex characters would pay more like $60, while very simple characters - feral animals are a good example, as they don't wear clothing and are often smaller - would pay $40), for a large group commission like this I figure it's easier to charge you, the group, a flat rate, and let you work out the dividing of payments between yourselves. Does that sound fair? Feel free to forward this around your group and let me know what you guys think. And thanks for thinking of me! ^.^ - Ermine ---------- So yes, she would give a discount, as her Silver painting is usually $70 per character instead of $50. So if we want her level (and I love her stuff and think she'd do a great MK group picture) we're looking at about $350 for six (plus background) to $400 for eight characters. If we did that many, I recommend a landscape orientation so that the characters actually have room to be seen. So, there's one possibility and the cost involved.
