Taking commissions for Photo Restoration!
What do I mean by photo restoration?
Currently, I can...
Fix and cover blemishes, red eye, lighting, and other cosmetic issues.
Fix tears and burns
Fix fading or discoloration (like a coffee stain)
Turn any sepia or b&w photo into a full color photograph.
However, please keep in mind...
Photos that need color restoration will require input from the client for accuracy. (e.g. grandma's hair color, eye color, dress color, etc.) I do not need it, and can guess at what it might be, however my accuracy is not 100% guaranteed.
Photos that have large portions torn or burned from them will require me to 'paint' in these portions. Again, these photos will not be 100% accurate.
I can not or will not...
Add sparkles or blingies.
Work with any photo of pornographic nature.
Alter any photo with hateful intentions. (I am not going to make Cindy Sue look bald/fat/etc for you to post on )
I will not take any photos. I am not a photographer.
  I will NOT under ANY circumstances fix a photo for you that is a class assignment. I know that most digital art classes (mine included) include some sort of project where you have to restore an old photo. If you even ASK I will REPORT YOU.   ~Prices~
Prices for cosmetic fixes and recoloring are fixed, they do not change regardless of how big/difficult the photo is. Prices for Tears, Burns, Fading, and Discoloration do. If you want to not only fix, but also recolor an 'Easy' photo, then you would add the two prices for the final charge which in this case would be $12. You may also give me any 'clean' photo for recoloring or cosmetic fixes alone.
'Light' Restoration <example> = $7 An easy photo will be one with one or two tears. The entire photo is present, and there is no discoloration or stains. This may also include photographs that are simply torn in half, and you have both halves.
'Average' Restoration [link] = $10 A medium photo will be one with a handful of tears, but that do not cover complicated areas or affect the main composition. Edges may be damaged or a small piece may be torn off. Medium photos can also include stains, dust, scratches, discoloration, and other damage to the paper.
'Advanced' Restoration <example> = $30 A hard photo will be one with many tears, burns, scratches, stains, etc. Large portions of the photo may be missing. These photos will require me to paint over large areas.
Cosmetic Fixes = $5
Recoloring = $5
If you have a large number of photos to be fixed, I will be negotiable. ~Get Started~
Please send all commission request via note. Title it 'Photo Commission' or else I will ignore it. Once you have sent me a scanned image of your photo(s) we can agree on a price. I will not accept any photos by mail.
Once the photo is fixed to your liking, I will send you the original photo and the fixed photo in both .jpg and .psd format. Once I have been paid, you can do whatever you want with it. (Within Reason)
You CAN:
Use it for commercial purposes. You can credit me, but it is not needed.
Use it in a deviation, print, or other piece. Just link back to my account.
Please note that if the original photo is not your own, you might have to ask that person for permission as well.
You CAN NOT:
Claim the work as your own!
-NOTE- I reserve the right to refuse any commission. Especially if I am suspicious that you are just trying to get me to do your homework. ~Payment~
I will only accept paypal for payments. No exceptions. You will pay me in full at the beginning. If I, for some reason, cannot complete your commission, you will get a full refund. If you cancel, I will only refund you for work not done. If by the time you contact me I am completely done with the image, you will receive no refund.
These commissions are officially OPEN! Yay! I will check this page at least every Wed, if not more. So bust open that box of keepsakes and send in those notes! ^^
Please note that I significantly raised the price for the 'Advanced' Restoration due to many hours that I would have to commit to complete the project, especially if intense re-painting is needed.
Also: If you feel that your photograph falls somewhere in-between one of the prices, I'll be glad to try and work out a fair price for you.
