illustration

mixed media commissions

Watercolour
Watercolour and acryla gouache
Acryla gouache

Semi-realistic, but slightly more stylised portrait created with the use of various traditional tools: watercolour, traditional gouache and acrylic gouache, often finished with coloured pencil.Once I'm familiar with your request I will be able to advise you on what medium will work best - please let me know if you have a preference!

Please keep in mind that the above examples are all in the 7x10" format. As I have yet to build a good library of examples, this could be considered an experimental tier, therefore I'm offering flat prices until further notice.

paper sizeflat rate
small - 4x6" (bust-up only)£120 £100
large - 7x10" (bust-up or waist-up)£200 £180
large - 7x10" (two characters/illustration)£300 £260

The most affordable commission type that comes with a catch:I am in full control of the process. The final result will always be a surprise and there will be no revisions of any sort.How does it work?You provide me with a visual reference or a written description of a character and leave the rest in my hands.The scope, composition and pose get all decided by me. I can pick whichever style and medium (digital or traditional) I want, go as abstract or as detailed as I feel like. The end result might be monochrome or in colour, but always with a certain degree of polish to make it visually interesting (in other words, don't worry about potentially receiving a "naked" sketch).Pay What You Want - starts at £80 £60.Paying over the asking price could mean the end result will be more detailed, but I would like you to think of this tier more of as an opportunity to be a true patron of the arts.I decided to create this tier once I had realised how much people were enjoying my spontaneous experiments. So there it is - high risk, exciting reward.

You can order this commission type through my regular form as well as Ko-Fi! The starting price of the latter has been adjusted to account for additional fees, otherwise both methods work the same way.

how to place an order

Once you're ready, head to my commission form page to fill in the details.

Alternatively, if you would rather not use the form, please e-mail me at [email protected] with the details of your request. Please make sure to include all the necessary information, such as the description of the request, type of the commission, visual references, etc.

terms of service

The following Terms of Service have been last updated on 5th of November, 2025.

definitions

"Artist" - Iga Wojciechowska, scherville.com
"Client" - you

payment

  • All payments are handled through Stripe. The Artist is in charge of preparing an invoice and sending it to the Client's e-mail address.

  • Quotes under 250 GBP - payment must be paid in full upfront. Quotes of 250 GBP and over - 50% to be paid upfront, the remaining 50% to be paid after the last major revision and before completion. Other partial payment plans may be discussed for quotes of 500 GBP and over.

timeline

  • Commission timeline ranges from 2 to 8 weeks, to be confirmed by the Artist upon confirming the request.

  • Should the Artist be delayed by unforeseen circumstances, it will be communicated to the Client as soon as possible.

process and revisions

  • The amount of revisions available depends on the type of commission chosen and will be confirmed by the Artist upon accepting the request.

  • The Artist reserves the right to refuse a free revision if the request is deemed unreasonable, such as: changing the idea from the original brief, changing major elements that have already been established at previous revision stages. Such revisions might be available at an extra fee.

  • The Client acknowledges that the Artist is given a certain degree of creative freedom. If the Client wishes to have a greater control of the process (such as having more revisions than stated), it has to be communicated beforehand.

delivery

  • By default all files are delivered digitally (i.e. uploaded to a cloud service such as Dropbox).

  • The Artist will provide two versions of the commission - a high resolution .png file and a small resolution .jpg file with watermark and a layer of Glaze already applied.

  • Digital media commissions - starting format is 8x10" / 300 DPI (2400 x 3000 px) and it might get increased with the painting's complexity, to be confirmed by the Artist upon accepting the request.

  • Traditional media commissions - default format is a 300 DPI scan of the requested size. (1200 x 1800 px for 4x6" and 2100 x 3000 px for 7x10") The Artist can also provide additional photos.

postage

  • Postage is an optional and paid service only available for commissions created in traditional media (excluding the Mystery Artwork tier).

  • If the Client wishes to receive the original artwork by post, it should be communicated to the Artist in advance in order to determine eligibility and calculate the cost.

  • The Artist does not take responsibility for mail getting damaged or lost once the package leaves the post office.

  • The Client is responsible for paying all duty and tariff fees, if applicable.

  • All artwork is sent unframed from the UK using a tracked & signed mail service unless otherwise discussed.

conduct

  • The Artist will communicate with the Client through e-mail.

  • The Artist's goal is to provide a satisfactory result that goes in line with the services advertised. To achieve that, it is necessary that good communication is maintained between the Artist and the Client and requests for changes communicated appropriately.

  • Rude and inappropriate behaviour of the Client may result in the Artist cancelling the commission at any stage.

  • If the Client does not respond to messages in a timely manner, the completion of the artwork might be delayed beyond the agreed deadline. Should the break in communication extend beyond four weeks and the work has already begun, the Artist reserves the right to cancel the commission without giving a refund.

usage

  • The commission is meant solely for Client's personal use unless otherwise stated. The Client is allowed to post the watermarked versions of the image on their social media and websites, as well as print out the files for their own use. The Client is allowed to crop the image and use it as their icon.

  • It is kindly requested that the Client does not post high-resolution images of the commission online so as to avoid instances of art theft and gen-AI image scraping.

  • The Client is prohibited from manipulating the artwork in significant ways, i.e. changing the colours or adding own elements to it.

  • The Artist retains the right to display the artwork in their portfolio and submit it to social media. It is possible for the Client to request a delay in publication (if, for example, the commission is a gift for someone else), but a full privacy fee amounts to +100% of the original price and needs to be communicated beforehand.

refunds

  • The upfront payment is non-refundable.

  • Should the commission be canceled by the Artist for any reason outside of Client's inappropriate behaviour or lack of communication, a full refund will be given.

ai

  • The Artist confirms that no AI will be used at any stage of the work, including sourcing visual references.

  • It is requested that the Client does not use any gen-AI images as visual references, as it might result in the request being rejected.

  • The Artist explicitly forbids any use of AI / NFT in connection with her work. The Client is not allowed to use the files provided by the Artist for the purpose of generating AI images.
