ElfinFen`s commissions

Hello!

If you have questions about my commissions (or something else haha) you can always ask me. To save your time, the main things are written below:

Price for ONE character (and simple background): shoulders - 70$, half body - 90$, knees - 120$, full 140$.

Sketch of one character (full) without background: line with simple flat painting - 40$. 

Among other things: I can draw children, animals and birds, food and I'm ready to try something new! Any idea can be discussed but I can't draw dismemberment, torture and horror.

Simple background is free: it can be nature (sky and grass, some trees and something like that), simple urban or rural environment, color spots, etc.

100% prepayment.

Large edits are made (free of charge) only at the sketching stage or for a fee later. Small changes like eye color are free at any stage.

The deadline and final price are decided individually, it depends on the details, background, etc.

I post all arts with my signature. The art that I send to you (by e-mail) may be without my signature and of course without loss of quality and color.

Examples of my art: tumblr.com/elfinfen and vk.com/elfinfen_art.

From you: a detailed description of the character/idea, actions/poses/moods, background and all the details that matter to you. I can help with this but nobody knows your idea better than you!

Thanks for your attention and have a nice day ♥

A portrait of Martin and a story told by his family:

Martin was destined to become an agility champion (dog racing with obstacles), but at six months he first limped and then couldn't walk at all. Doctors diagnosed him with hip dysplasia. Martin underwent intensive treatment for the next year to prevent permanent leg paralysis. He managed to get some success, but until the very end of his life, he ran with his hind legs together, and he was completely unable to jump or climb down stairs. He had to put his championship ambitions on hold. Instead, Martin became a canine therapist, assisting a psychologist working with sick children.

For the children in orphanages, he was the Dog Who Could. Yes, you can be lame and have a crooked tooth, but you will still be loved, and you will still find your place in life. For the children in wheelchairs, he was the Dog Who Understands. Yes, physical therapy is sometimes painful and always difficult – but that's no reason to give it up. For children with mental disabilities, he was a dog who was easy to be with. Yes, human interaction is a ton of conventions, and understanding them can be difficult, but Martin wags his tail when he's happy and runs away when he's upset. He's easy to understand, and it's easy to be successful with him.

Martin has amassed many touching stories throughout his life, but I remember one that stands out. It was New Year's Eve, and I was seeing a girl who had recently had an eye removed. She was undergoing chemotherapy, and she was so ill she couldn't even walk. It was hard for a psychologist to find the words, and she didn't want to talk to me anyway. We were silent, and Martin came out of his corner and laid his head on her lap. She stroked his long nose and helped him into a chair. They sat like that for almost an hour, alternately stroking and crying. And then she said, "I want herring under a fur coat for New Year's, and a red wig." Already in the spring, when everything was confidently fine, she said that Martin had helped her cry.

He died on February 25, 2025. He was eight and a half. By then, he had been retired for several years, but he kept in touch with his children. For them, Martin went to live with his grandmother in Scotland.

For me, Martin is an example that even if you have at least one eye or at least one paw, you don't have the right to give up without trying. Even as a disabled dog, you can change the lives of dozens of people for the better. And as a Human – what's impossible for you?
