Frequently Asked Questions – Just Ask or Be a Sheep Forever!

1. Can you alter the artwork for sale on your website to suit buyers’ needs?
Yes, I welcome changes; this has happened many times before but I have to charge at least
USD 20.00 and up depending on scale of the changes requested. Here is an artwork that
were once up for sale which had gone through changes.

    

2. I don't have enough money to buy the artwork on sale now.
Can I book the artwork and pay you later?

Yes, I welcome booking if you're broke now, many buyers do this - no worries! In order to
book an artwork you have to pay 50% advance payment of the price of the artwork. You have
to pay the 50% balance in 60 days from the day you book the artwork otherwise I have to put
the artwork back for sale. Your 50% advance payment is not refundable.

3. How I can do booking on the artwork for sale?
Simply email me with the subject: "Booking"
Followed by the artwork's title - Baphomet".
For example like this: "Booking - Baphomet".
You must also direct me to the URL. Pls copy and paste the URL into your email.
This is very IMPORTANT! This helps me alot and save my time locating the particular artwork
of your choice. Any booking or order without the URL's page AND title will not be entertained.

4. What kind of work can you do?
Mostly Album covers, CD layout design, logos, etc. The art styling vary depending
on clients' requirement. I can do digital artwork or manual painting illustration.
Manual painting illustration is far more expensive that digital artwork.

5. How much do you charge?
Prices vary. It all depends on your briefing. If you want a super detail work I have
to charge a high price. But don’t worry if your budget cost is limited rest assured
I always put in good effort in every piece of art that I do, it's in my nature.
If you don’t believe me, go to those links in my testimonial or
individual pages where artworks were sold – you will get your answer.

6. Can you work for free?
No. Be it charity work or whatever project you have, I just can’t afford
the time to do free work.

7. Can a small band who are in tight budget get their artwork done by you?
I usually will help upcoming bands even their budget is small but please do not
take advantage, do not ask for 1001 things from me. You will get what you paid for.
In short I will give my best if you do not restrict my creativity. I would also advise
bands on tight budget to buy my artwork on sale and alter on it to suits their needs.
This is much economical if you are not fussy.

8. Can I trade CDs and other stuff as payment?
No. I only accept cash through PayPal or ATM transfer. No compromise on this.

9. What is best to get a job started?
a) Tell me what the artwork is for, be it album cover, poster, T-shirt, etc. It is Very
Important to give me the deadline, as I can’t work on the job you wanted yesterday.
Good food need time to be served, so does good artwork.

b) Briefly tell me what you want or need but don’t write poetry or words that only you
will understand. I prefer you to come up with ideas because you know better than me what you're
writing about. From there I make your vision into print to my best ability. You must do your part
only then I do my part. I like to work with people who know what they want. If you do not know
what you want - it's OK. I'm here to assist you and I can be flexible in this matter.
Just tell me anything that come across your mind and I will do my best but please don't pretend
to know what you want and make me change things around coz I'm your friend not your slave.

c) Some samples of existing album covers or pictures are good for the art direction or
illustration style we are going into. These help me a lot to narrow down the quotations
too. But too many samples are not good coz it will only confused me.

d) Please make 50% advance payment to my PayPal account or ATM transfer (for clients in
Singapore & Malaysia). Without 50% advance payment I can’t start on your job. I will start
on your job once I cleared some other job before yours. But, I usually will put your ideas
in sketch soonest I can coz I’m always excited on new job.
We will work ‘progressively’ from there on.

10. What do you mean by ‘progressively’?
First, I will show you sketch/ sketches based on your briefing. Once you agree on the idea,
I will render some colours to show you the mood of the artwork. If everything is OK, I will
proceed to the final rendering. After this stage, I can tolerate minor changes but major
changes will incur costing. However, I’m easy to work with and compromises on matters
which can be solved easily. Arguments are not necessary.

11. How do you deliver artwork?
I usually deliver artwork through email or other ways online.
Not even once I deliver files by shipping or any other ways.
Or if the file is super huge, I will burn a CD for you and sent to
your address. Snail mail will incur cost. You must pay for mailing cost by
Paypal only then the CD artwork will be delievered.
