I made this website with "Wix" for free, which is why there is a wix advertisement at the top. Apologies if it is an inconvenience.
2D Animations
What to expect:
2D animations is just 2D art, except it has been brought to life even more with movement. Giving characters more expressions, telling a story through their gestures or actions--these are all easier to portray with animation. Everything and anything can be drawn, except for NSFW. Aside from that, the only limit is your imagination!
If you decide to commission me for a project, I will be sending constant updates of the requested project to make sure it is following what YOU want it to look like. It includes pictures to show progress, or "WIP" animations, and making sure I am communicating what I plan on doing so you can be assured it is going just as how you envision it. Or at the very least, get as close as possible to it!
Most of my artworks are mainly character art, but you can see I have implemented different styles of backgrounds such as simplistic styles, integrated photography, 3D models (that get turned to 2D style), etc. A common way I do backgrounds for animation specifically is either drawing from scratch or using presets from my workstation and apps I use. I also use photos I take during my travels and free photos online that allows their photos to be used (mainly Pexel), and doing plenty of filters to match the drawings, and to help create the scene in animations.
I will be as transparent as possible: The photos I take, or the 3D models I make being turned into a "drawing" style is the only AI help I use to achieve the goal of a scene people want, or for speed efficiency. And even then, you can request for me to not use AI backgrounds when I give you updates on the artworks, if you so desire. Drawing backgrounds from scratch to be a completely AI-less piece is an option you can choose (of course however, it will take more time to draw). I never use AI at all for any other reason, such as character drawing for example.

If you feel you want to try commissioning me, then continue down below this text to understand how the pricing works. If you have been here or are already familiar with my works, click here to begin commissioning!
Pricing
Animation has quite a bit of layers on how they are made compared to just 2D art pieces, and so there are 2 rounds of pricing, as well as add-ons. The 2 rounds combined and the add-ons will all combine and become the price (in USD) you need to pay through PayPal, depending on what kind of commission you are requesting. Read below for more details. ⬇️
ROUNDS
1st Round: Format
GIF
GIFs are mostly, if not all, are always short and simple just like these ones. They are not limited to it however! They are good for small loop animations and decorations that allow GIFs to be used. ($60)
Example:
Animatic
Animatics don't usually have a lot of animation happening, and actually just looks like they can be considered as comic books in video format. These things are quicker than the others, and are nice to get fast ideas going. ($75)
Example:
Video
Videos are like GIFs in which they have animation, but usually tell a story or focus on visuals rather than as just a decoration for sites (as an example). They are also 'normally' longer to create. I would recommend these if you like to see your characters and backgrounds come to life! ($100)
Example:
2nd Round: Color
No Color
As you can see below, the video shows no color (at least for the majority of the time), which is what this section will offer. If you do not need colors to get your ideas across, this is the one to choose for a better price. (No change / Free)
Example:
Colored
Same thing with animations, except this time, there are flat colors included to make things pop out more. This is probably good if you want two characters to stand out from each other, and not get it confusing for the audience when there are no colors to distinguish things. Color coding! (+ $15)
Example:
Colored + Shading & / Or Special Effects
This is considered the full extent of what I can do as animation to make things really turn -- I guess -- cinematic? Is that the right term? Lol. Anyways, it can be something like this, to which you can try if you need something really pretty.
( + $30)
Example:
Add-Ons
Background
While the main focuses are usually characters in animations, backgrounds can also be important to portray the setting. "Still" backgrounds are
+ $5, while animated backgrounds are + $20.
Example: There is a "still" background. Since the background is just added every frame rather than animated, it is only an extra $5.
Animation Duration
This section determines how long the
animation is played. For every 1 extra second animated, there is an additional + $3. (First 5 seconds for GIFS and VIDEOS are free)
For every 3 extra seconds extra for ANIMATICS, there is an additional + $3. (First 12 seconds are free, and 13 second mark begins the + $3)
Example: This 9 second video will be + $12 more for 4 x 3
Animation Smoothness
Gifs and videos only
FPS determines how smooth the animation will look. Please look at animation examples online to see how smooth they are. I will offer 5 different types:
Animating by ones (Smoothest animations) = $60
Animating by twos = $45
Animating by threes = $30
Animating by fours = $15
Animating anything else after (Animations look choppy and very slow -- they might as well be animatics) = Free
Example: This is animating by ones (for the most part on this GIF at least) + $60
Sound Editing
Videos and Animatics Only
Sounds are important to bring things to life since it will further immerse the audience. While adding sounds helps set the stone, it also requires me to use outside tools (editing softwares) other than my usual animation tools, thus taking more time. + $30
If only ONE TYPE of sound (music, voice acting, sound effect), then it is $15.
Example: There are added background music and sound effects to portray what is happening in the scene, such as dragging against the snow or the whoosh sound. Just the fact that the characters look like they are talking to each other is also an example. + $30
PRICE EXAMPLES
I understand I have various styles of animations I can do, which is what makes pricing difficult. The examples above are just that: "examples." So to make it easier, you can also just send me another example of an animation from the gallery (more examples) section (click to jump to it), if you happen to like a certain style I did that looks different from the ones above. I will then put it in one of the categories above depending on how long it will take, and will discuss it with you. Once I put an example to one of the categories or add-ons above, it will be that price from the category.

=
=
Animatic ($75) + Colored ($15) + Animated Backgrounds (the snow, not the genshin background) ($20) + Animation Duration (Only 12 seconds, = $0) + Sound ($30) = 140 USD total.
Video ($100) + Colored ($15) + Still Backgrounds ($5) + Animation Duration (9 second video --> 4 x 3 = $12) + Animation Smoothness ($60) + Sound Editing ($15 for only music) = 207 USD total.
Video ($100) + Colored ($15) + Animated Backgrounds ($20) + Animation Duration (13 second video --> 7 x 3 = $21) + Animation Smoothness ($60) + Sound Editing ($15 for only music) = 231 USD total.
Take the walking animation in the beginning as an example: Animatic (It's a video but... the animations are so choppy that it might as well be an animatic) ($75) + No colors (free) + Still Backgrounds (They're moving, but not really-- if that makes sense) ($5) + Animation Duration (If it's just the walking, it might as well just be free) + Sound ($15 for music) = 95 USD total.
Again, these are just examples, so the prices are examples as well. If you are thinking of commissioning me, we will talk about things more thoroughly for what you need!

I do not have web-design experience, so this site will look strange on some resolutions. If the site looks squished, switch to a mobile version or to a monitor that has (1920 x 1080p) resolution if you are already on mobile. In case of the page looking strange still, refresh the page or click to another page and then back.
