icon commissions 2024

[messala]

COLOURED MANGA $2.0 each	B&W, ANIME, VIDEO GAMES, ETC $0.10 EACH
TERMS	COMMISSION ME
— Screencapping/ Sourcing services can be provided, but the cost of each icon will double from $0.10 to $0.20. In this case, I am defining sourcing as if you do not provide the specific images in a zip file or folder. If you link a gallery and I have to pick the images from it (and save them one by one), that is sourcing. Feel free to ask if you aren't sure, though. — Before making the entire set, I'll be sending a couple of samples to you so you can pick which style/colours you like. Please note any changes you'd like once I ask for your approval, otherwise I can't fix those anymore once I am done. — General turn around time is 3-7 days upon request. Coloured manga icons may take an additional 7 days. — For coloured manga icons, I can only do 30 icons per order. You're free to ask for more icons once I'm done with your initial batch, though. — For non-coloured manga icons, there is a minimum of 30 icons for each order, and a maximum of 150. you're free to ask for more icons once I'm done with your initial batch, though. — At the moment, my preferred method of payment is Paypal. I will accept DW points for smaller orders ($3.00 - $5.00). Payments are to be made once I let you know that I am done with the icons. I will send them in a zip file via email (or another method you prefer) once I receive full payment. — I generally like bright effects on my icons, but you're more than free to ask for something specific upon request.

name / username: Vic / for magichinegun

icon subject: Fern
image sources: caps are here if you can find the Fern!! she's the purple haired one. I'm specifically looking for Ep 16 onwards for faces. I'll pay the 0.20 for the sourcing
qty: 50, dealer's choice, mostly looking for a variety of expressions (as much of a variety as you can get with her)

special notes: none ty!!

[messala]

hello!! thank you for commissioning me.

i'll have samples ready for approval in 24 hrs or so! i'll check back in if i'm unable to get the samples done right away.

[messala]

here are some samples for the icons! if the colouring is okay or if there is anything you'd like changed, let me know before i proceed w the rest :)

[paravore]

name / username: Lazdo (lazdo, lazdo)

icon subject: Hikaru from The Summer Hikaru Died (for those images in the zip with two characters, it's the white-haired one)
image sources: zip file
qty: 150 icons - about 15 are color images, the rest are B&W manga icons. No coloring needed for the B&W icons, I'm just looking to get them cropped, resized & looking nice c:

special notes: Hello!! I grabbed the images themselves to be iconned, but I cropped them only very loosely - I figured I'd leave it to your expertise to crop them in a more aesthetically pleasing way ^^ (Also - do you do a sample set for only colored manga icons, or for all commissions? Would you be willing to show me a few samples before doing all 150?)

[messala]

hello!! thank you for commissioning me.

i'll provide samples for all requests to get approval for either the effects/ colouring or the cropping. :) i'll provide some samples in 24 hrs or so!

[messala]

hello! thank you for waiting. here are some samples. please let me know if you'd like something less zoomed in for cropping and which style you like best! and if there are any other changes you'd like made, let me know o7




for these b&w ones, there's a hint of red in the first two, but the second sample has some more crispiness to it. the third sample doesn't have the red. please let me know which particular style you're more partial to.

here are samples of the coloured images, as well!

Hi there! I wanted to ask a few things first before making any formal commission requests:

1) Would you be okay with making icons with spoilers for recent media? In particular, I'd be asking for Honkai Star Rail's 2.0 main story this time around, but I might potentially come back in the future for other canons.
2) And would Youtube quality caps work? They're from a 1080p/720p source, but I wanted to check in first. I'd also be totally fine with like, only some of the caps worked icon-wise if there's anything that you can't work with.

[messala]

hello!

1) yes, that's fine! i've played through the 2.0 main story so i don't mind, although i generally don't mind these things since there won't be too much context to begin with :)

2) yes, i'd like to think they do! the genshin impact icons i've made in the past are from yt caps, so the quality would be similar, if that was smth you were particular about.

name / username: tristan / if

icon subject: m!alear (fire emblem engage)
image sources: would love for you to get these! there's a bunch of videos of the routes/cutscenes on youtube
qty: 20, looking for a variety of expressions, specifically of the divine dragon version (that's with the split hair, not solid red or blue)

special notes: i think this would come to like $4? down to go $5 to make it worth doing for you

[messala]

hi there! thank you for commissioning me.

i'll have samples ready for approval in 24-48 hrs! i'll check back in if i'm unable to get the samples done right away.

[messala]

hello! apologies for the delay, it's been busy lately.

here are some samples for the icons. one style is brighter than the other. let me know which you prefer and what you think before i proceed with the rest!

icon subject: khun aguero agnis

[messala]

hello there! i do apologise for the delayed response, but thank you for your interest in my icons!

i'll have samples up for you within the next 24-48 hrs. thank you for your patience!

[interiorcastle]

Before I commission, are you able to cap from Youtube videos? The character is from ~30 hours into the game and I'm not able to source an individual video of the relevant cutscenes.

[messala]

hello there!

i'm able to cap from youtube videos, yes. these are samples from caps from youtube videos to give an idea of quality. if the video has 1080p and up in terms of quality then that would work best! :)

[messala]

hello lb!

thanks for commissioning me again :)

i've finished making your icons, and i can upload them via gdrive for you.

the total for 48 icons would be $4.80. would you prefer to pay in dw points or through paypal for this amount? paypal link is here, though if you prefer to pay in dw points, you can send 48 points to this account at your convenience.

image sources: Here! Dealer's choice on which ones you wanna use! I know there's not a lot of variety when most are "lookit me i'm grumpypants" but still.
qty: 40
special notes: Nothing to note! If you got questions about any of these shots, lemme know! Thank you so much.

[messala]

we already talked on discord but for transparency's sake, i am going to be working on your icons soon! i'll be samples ready in the next 24-48 hours. thanks for waiting.

[artse]

name / username: arty / artse

icon subject: wriothlesy & lyney (genshin impact)

source: i’m not familiar with any caps available for them unfortunately, so i’m willing to pay the extra if it’s alright!

qty: 50 wrio + 50 lyney

special notes: i hope it’s ok to request two different characters? i thought it might be ok since they’re both appearing in the same game! thank you so much ;;

[messala]

hi there and thanks for commissioning me again!

before anything else, i wanted to set expectations that this might take some time. i've been sick the past week and i have another icon set that i need to finish, to the earliest i might get to providing samples would be late next week, around the 13th or 14th.

would this be okay with you?

name / username: Myco/animatedsmoke

icon subject: Svarog (Honkai Star Rail)
image sources: Downloadable gallery. Most caps are from vindagnyr!
qty: 20

special notes:
* Since this is small order I'm fine with rounding up to like $5 USD or an amount that won't get totally eaten by transaction tax.
* Don't worry about too many icons being samey because I know, sob.

[messala]

hello! thank you for commissioning me.

i'll have samples ready for you by thursday. i do hope this is ok!

[charsiu]

icon subject: Josuke Higashikata (Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable)
image sources: Here!
qty: 150

special notes: I left a few extra images in the zip folder over 150 just in case some of them are hard to work with/unusable, I hope that's okay!

[messala]

hi jams! thanks for commissioning me.

here are some sample icons from the images provided. let me know if there's anything particular with regard to colouring you'd like changed before i make the rest.

[butsmaller]

A quick question before commissioning!

If I provide the link to the manhwa, would that fall under sourcing or be too much? I'd happily pay extra for the additional work. For more context, I'd be looking to commission as close to 100 as would be artistically possible.

Thank you!

[messala]

Hi there!

I hope I'm understanding correctly! If the link includes images that I can screencap or download and it's up to me to go through it and decide which expressions to use for iconing, then it would be sourcing.

[condorone]

Hello hello!

I'm gathering some manga panels for a colored icon commission, but I have a question. Are you able to color over areas that are black to make them the appropriate colors?

For example, here, for this panel (left), would you be able to make her bow red like in the anime (right)? Just wanted to verify so I can pick my panels to send over. Thank you! c:

[messala]

hi there!

it's been some time since i've done anything like that, but you can find simple samples here:


i can definitely do something simple with a little bit of detail (like colour in the white spaces inside too). i'm sure i can work on something a bit more detailed now (since those old ones were coloured with a mouse) by drawing over it, but that might cost a bit more and i can't quite guarantee that it'd look the same.
