The possibilities are endless! If you browse my gallery you’ll find that I love to use a variety of media for an even wider variety of subjects. I accept commissions for both digital and traditional (typically acrylic paint) work.

Personalized art is a really versatile gift option—some popular ideas include pet portraits, memorial portraits (I can splice together photos of the departed with their living loved ones too), paintings to commemorate special occasions (weddings, family firsts, baby milestones, etc.), or even properties/places with special meaning (think first house, favorite cities and haunts, personal happy places).

Digital art options that I have experience with include reference & character sheets, concept art, illustrations for merchandising, illustrations for book covers & children’s literature, and digital portraits.

Every project is unique, and there’s not too much I am unwilling to consider. When in doubt feel free to ask, and we can discuss what your options might look like!

It’s easy! And it all starts with a conversation. Feel free to contact me via email (sydrobke@yahoo.com), Instagram direct message (@sydrobke) Facebook messenger or the submission form found here. Tell me about what you had in mind, and we can develop a concept together for your unique project.

Based on the details of our discussion, I’ll generate an proposal that includes a quote breaking down the pricing of the piece. Once we’ve agreed upon a timeline and a price, I’ll send over an invoice (or contract if needed). I usually ask for a 50% deposit up front, and the rest can be paid upon completion. I am happy to work with you on a payment plan if desired.

I like to allow for at least one month in turnaround time to ensure the quality of the work. If I have the availability, I may be able to accommodate a project with a shorter time frame.

At any point, you are more than welcome to ask to see a work in progress image.

Once the project is completed and the full payment has been processed, I will send, ship, or deliver the final product based on the terms agreed upon in the proposal.

For further detail, feel free to review my terms and conditions.

Commissions are priced on a case by case basis, usually after a thorough discussion about your ideas and expectations for the piece. For the sake of transparency, I like to break down the factors that I base that price on when creating a quote for you.

Things that may impact the price of your piece include:

-Scale (I do my best to estimate the time commitment that each project will require and pay myself accordingly—taking into account the scope and specifics of the project.)

-Complexity (Are there multiple subjects? Is there a complex background? Does it require extensive prep work or research? etc.)

-Materials (I generally include a flat fee for materials for each project, which covers expenses like paint, brushes, gesso, canvas, medium, varnish, and shipping supplies.)

-Printing, delivery, and/or shipping costs (shipping insurance/protection plan optional)

-Time frame (The timeline for a project tends to dictate how I plan out my work schedule—I like to allow at least one month for the turnaround of a custom piece to ensure quality, but if a quicker delivery is desired I may be able to work with you. There may be additional costs associated with expedited shipping/rush jobs.)
