I'm pretty happy with how it came out! I'm new to video editing so let me know what you think, any tips are most welcome!

Hello, I’m starting to volunteer for a teen ttrpg club at my local library, and my first session is on Thursday the 16th. I’d like to commission an artist to draw a key character for the story to give to the players as a memory, and to have one they sign so I can have a physical memory of my first volunteer session, anyways, too much rambling, details next.

Looking a style that is either retro anime (Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, etc.), grungier comic art style (TMNT Last Ronin, Jim Lee’s Batman), or something of a similar vein.

I’d like a character piece with a background if possible. The character is Ratthew Claw, an anthropomorphic rat who is a hard boiled noir detective. He is what’s called a Rex rat, which means his fur isn’t as smooth, and looks less well kept, a medium grey fur with either a sharper, or more chiseled (for a rat) face structure ending in a nose with a few normal whiskers, two broken whiskers, and one that appears to be burnt.

I don’t have a super clear picture of the background in my head, but it could be his office, which could be an old cardboard box, or the city the rats live in that resides in the crawl space under a house, or like between the wall and outside trash can, something that screams grizzled noire detective while also maintaining the anthropomorphic rat aspect, and the fact they live in a crawl space.

My budget is fairly flexible, as I’m not sure what the industry standard is for what I’m asking, but I think I can max out around 115, but 100 or under would be ideal.

As for timeline, I realize I waited too long to reasonably ask to have it before the 16th, so I’m thinking I’d want it before the next session on the 23rd.

I have a decent amount of reference photos that can be provided if needed.

I am very much not an artist myself, and this is my first time trying to commission art, so please let me know if I left out any vital information, how to best present my idea, what industry standard is, etc. I am very open to feedback. Thank you!
