After a few years settling into my new life and with a bit of prompting from others, I've decided to offer this service again. Fees will be based on difficulty - the more I have to crop out, fix "red-eye" or other errors, etc., the more it will cost. For example, the first "painted photo" required only about an hour's work to reach it's final state. A project of this type would cost $30. The original photo had a high enough pixel count to provide details, didn't need significant color or light manipulation, and didn't need a lot of background detail cropped out.
This one, however, took more effort and - almost a full day's work! The dogs were taken from two separate photos, both of which required extensive background removal, color repair, lighting manipulation, "red-eye" repair, etc. I charged $95 for the project. After the dogs were finished, a suitable background had to be designed. I'm very proud of the finished product, though!
More examples will be available as time goes on. Please contact me for more information.
