There are different types of commissions. Original art, but the artists holds onto the image licensing rights. Commissions for an image that will be used or printed, but does not include the original art. This is a cheaper option for those that need a poster, business card, flyer, t-shirt, or handout for example. The license would be for a limited use of 50 prints or something similar. I tend to hold onto original art for licensed work in hopes of auctioning it off for charity and nonprofits.
original art comission:
11 x 17 poster, $200-$350
8.5 x 11, $50-$150Â
Limited license commission:
11 x 17 poster, $150
8.5 x 11, $25-$75
