The Commissioner's Guide
Straight answers on commissioning your character, from the artist who paints them.
Frequently Asked Questions
I've never commissioned art before. Will I mess this up?
You’re in good company. Nine in ten people I paint for are commissioning art for the first time.
You don’t need to know the right art terms or write the perfect brief. Just tell me what you’re hoping for in your own words.
I’ll help you work out the details, and you’re always welcome to ask questions as we go.
We’ll agree on what you want before I start painting, and you’ll have a preview to look over before the portrait is finished.
Hear from other people who commissioned their first portrait →
Who will be working on my portrait?
👋 Hi, I’m Jan! I personally work on every portrait, with help from my team of vetted artists.
You’ll talk directly with me throughout your commission, and every piece gets my personal quality check before it reaches you.
You’re also supporting working artists when you commission us. Every artist who helps bring your portrait to life is paid for their work.
What if the first painting doesn't feel like my character?
Your first polished preview comes with my Heroic Money Back Guarantee.
If it misses the character you described in your brief, please email me within 72 hours of the preview being sent, before requesting any revisions.
I’ll refund the base commission in full.
That refund covers the base painting. Add-ons, upgrades, rush fees and physical prints aren’t included.
If you’d like to keep working on it together, you have unlimited revisions within your original brief.
The guarantee ends when you request revisions or the 72-hour window passes.
You can read the full Refund Policy and eligibility conditions here →
How long does a commission take?
You’ll see your first polished preview in about two weeks.
Those two weeks start once you’ve checked out, I’ve got all your character details, and we’ve confirmed the brief together.
It’s a polished painting for you to look over, with room for unlimited revisions within your brief.
Each revision round usually takes a few days. The final delivery date depends on how many rounds we need.
I’ll keep you posted along the way, and you can check the progress in your private commission hub.
Party portraits need a little more time than a single character. We’ll talk through the timing when we plan yours.
Can I request revisions to my portrait?
Of course. Your commission includes unlimited revisions within your original brief.
That covers changes to colors, lighting, expression and details we agreed on.
You’re welcome to tell me what still doesn’t feel right. There’s no need to save your feedback for one last round.
In your commission hub, you can mark the detail on the painting and leave me a note. That shows me exactly what you mean.
If you’d like a different pose, a major outfit redesign or a big new element outside your brief, that’s extra work.
I’ll agree the price with you before painting it, so you can decide whether you’d like to go ahead.
Why did you build all of this?
Because most commissions are stressful and disorganized. You pay a stranger, then spend weeks wondering if they still remember your character. As a D&D player and an artist, I’ve seen it from both sides.
I wanted the complete opposite. Bringing your character to life should feel fun and exciting, the way it felt when you first made them.
A portrait of your character is a core part of your campaign. Once your table sees it, that’s the face they picture every session, so it ends up defining the whole story. Still, most players have never commissioned one. Commission horror stories scare them off, and I get why.
So I made the whole thing easy and fun on purpose, and I designed and built all of it myself. The Character Quest, the waitlist, this site, and the hub where you talk to me while my team and I paint.
I overthink capes for a living, so yes, I overthought every button too.

Excellent quality work and great working with Jan. Would highly recommend and I'm looking forward to commissioning her for the next one!
Excellent quality work and great working with Jan. Would highly recommend and I'm looking forward to commissioning her for the next one!
The artist delivered exactly what I wanted. She was very communicative throughout the entire process and took the time needed to get it just right. I couldn't be happier with the final product. I really enjoyed working with her and would happily do so again.
Store owner replied: Thank you James! It was a pleasure working with you as well! Until next time :)
Excellent work and customer service
High quality custom artwork! The artist was able to capture everything I was after and I'm very pleased with the result. It looks gorgeous! I got custom artwork made for a mixtape album for my fiancee for our anniversary. We was blown away by it 🌹
She absolutely killed this custom cover for my story!! it's everything i wanted! I've gotten so many compliments on it already!! Highly recommend her work!🤍
I absolutely love the final product! Jan asks questions and really gets to know your character, right down to the mood of the portrait. She's a pleasure to work with and does stunning work.
Jan is great to work with. She's super detail oriented and asked me tons of questions to get my vision just right. I am so pleased with the final product; it is gorgeous work.
Jan is just so sweet and talented! I really enjoyed working with her! She listened to all of my character's lore and implemented all of the little features that she has! The result is just gorgeous! I will certainly use it for her D&D character sheet and Magic The Gathering homemade card ;)
Amazing work! I absolutely love how my character came out!
Amazing quality, very responsive, and helped me with my vision!
Absolutely stunning work and worked with me every step of the way during the process. Will highly recommend to my friends and seeking more later! :D
Amazing service! They are very timely, communicative and a great artist, they have amazing deals!
Amazing service! They are very timely and a great artist!
Absolutely worth the upgrade to fully visualize your character!
I come to Jan for all my character art in my books and she always delivers a great item! This is probably the 4th time I've left a review. She is easy to work with and puts in the effort to make sure she understands what you are asking for. The whole process does tend to take a while though, so make sure you order the image far in advance of when you actually need it.
I upgraded for my commission and I'm so glad I did, the added details were so worth it!
I cannot recommend Jan enough, she was so thorough with discussing the details and what I wanted from this art and the end product is even better than I could have imagined!! She really brought my girl to life, and I will definitely be coming back for any future commissions!
Got an upgrade for my art commission and was very happy with the results!!
Once again, Jan made my character art visions come to life. This character is near and dear to my heart because she is my first, my Tootsie. Due to in campaign events there was a large stretch of time between my first one-shot with Tootsie versus her now in current campaign. I wanted art that showed both versions of this character and Jan ran with it beautifully. She took every piece of lore and backstory and brought it to life perfectly. Always a joy to work with.
My commission is perfect. Thank you, Jan.
Beautiful art. Just what I wanted.
Franzer was and is a character near and dear to my heart. The little troublemaker needed the right hand to capture the moxie and chutzpah of his personality, and Jan did that in spades. To look at him, you know he knows how this fight is going to go, and do you really want to find that out for yourself? This was my second portrait with Jan, and as the first, she was very responsive to my wants at the start, and my comments for adjustments and tweaks - during the process she essentially invented an insignia that I intend to use as his mark in the future. It was a pleasure working with Jan again, and it is not the last time. Highly recommended if you are looking for your RPG character, your story protagonist, or just the fantasy image you've imagined foreve and want to see made real.
Store owner replied: Thank you so much, Noam! Likewise, it’s always a pleasure working with you, and I really appreciate the lovely review. I’m so glad I got to bring Franzer to life :)
I just loved working with Jan and all the add-ons and organized products she offered along the way!
Jan was so amazing to work with and I love the final product!
I ordered several character pieces for my debut gothic dystopian romance. Jan was wonderful to work with and asked extremely detailed questions to get the pieces right. She corrected things quickly and was a breeze to work with. She's definitely found a repeat customer! Thank you, Jan!
Very talented and always responsive. She's great to work with!
Jan really knows how to work with you and is patient when email communication goes awry. Will come back for my other characters in time.
Store owner replied: Thank you for the kind words! Looking forward to working with you again Marjorie!
The whole process was very positive and professional! Jan was super helpful incorporating my ideas into what could be executed with their artistic vision. Plus, the results turned out great!
Great seller. Good communication through the process. Very happy with the results.

The prices were reasonable and very much worth it!
Was responsive, listened to what I wanted and made sure I felt heard!
Jan has been a consummate professional and a wonderful visionary. I've enjoyed working with her every step of the way! She's careful, considerate, and even thought of small details that I honestly hadn't before. She made my Returned weapon Master, Hrod, come to life far more realized than I ever could. If you have even an inkling that you'd like to have a character portrait made, Jan is the person to turn to!
Store owner replied: Thank you for the lovely review Stewart! 🥹 It was a pleasure bringing Hrod to life!
Leaving my review here on the main portrait item itself too! Absolutely stunning work, really lovely artist, genuinely can't recommend more!
Absolutely incredible, as per my other review. Second image included here!
Absolutely incredible work!! No words needed, the image quality speaks for itself! Jan is a pleasure to work with too
Four years in, these still make my week.
Every one started with someone trusting me with their character.
