Experience
I have been working with authors and publishers both nationally and internationally since 2020.
Speed
The waiting time is only one month, and the final results can be obtained within fifteen to thirty days.
Why would you work with me?
Cooperation
Feedback is constant. Throughout the whole process I accompany you, solving doubts and offering suggestions.
Trust
Payment can be split into two parts, and the initial sketch is always delivered before the first payment.
I prepare PDF invoices.
Thank
As a bonus, the process timelapse and discount coupons are always given as a gift at the time of delivery.
Commissions
The first thing you need to know is that I work with three styles:
-
Colored Doodle: this is the easiest and quickest to do, a sketch style. For these drawings I send a single sketch and after the client's feedback, it is finished. It usually takes 15 days.
-
Character Art: my usual style, detailed. I send 2-3 initial sketches and then step by step until the final result. Estimated time is one month.
-
Semirealistic: an even more detailed style. I work in greyscale and then colour. I send 2-3 initial sketches and the step by step until the final result. Estimated time is one month and a half.
Prices vary according to the style, and also if it is a bust, half body or full body character.
Covers
There is the normal option, in Character Art (~300€) and the economic version of Coloured Doodle (~100€).
Merchandising
Commercial use has an extra charge of +25% (if it is merchandising as a gift) and +60% (if it is for sale).
Inside the book
Illustrations for book interiors will have an extra +50% on the price.
If there are +10 illustrations, the price will be per hour of work.

Some clients said...
"Alba works quickly but thoroughly, has fantastic attention to detail, and is extremely enthusiastic and communicative. She has a very natural ability to pick up on the tone of any given character and bring them vividly to life. I cannot recommend her enough." - Carson
"Alba has never, ever let me down! Her work is beyond phenomenal and gorgeous!! She always takes my ideas and makes them even greater than I pictured in my head. I’ve had so many works done by her and each one I love so much. She is also incredibly kind and considerate!" - Vulpey

Terms and Conditions
General Conditions
The commission is accepted when the artist writes it. Sending money without the artist having accepted the commission is not considered a greenlight. If the artist decides not to accept the request in this case, the money will be refunded.
The artist has the right to deny a request.
There is no list of proposals that are not accepted to draw, but the artist will make it clear whether she accepts the request or not, depending on how comfortable / capable she is with the proposal.
The prices of the commissions listed are estimations. Prices may increase according to the amount of details or extras (i.e.: weapons, detailed clothes...), but never decrease
(unless there are offers or discounts that the artist indicates).
The Illustrations will be done in the artist’s style. No other style requests will be accepted (example: realism; “X artist’s style”).
As the author, the artist keeps all the rights of the illustration created. She has the right to share the commissioned artwork in her social media, portfolio... However, the
client can ask for keeping the art private or not showing it until a particular date. For transfering copyright an agreement signed by both parts will be needed.
Commission Details from the client
The information to start can be as detailed as they want, but generally, less detail gives more creativity to the creator, and the end result may not be as accurate. The customer
is responsible for giving the necessary information so that no more changes need to be made than are allowed in the process (read Process and Changes section).
The basic information includes:
• Commission type (half body, background, semirealistic...)
• Description of the idea
• Information of the client
In addition, some suggestions of the extra (and appreciated) information that can be
shared:
• Detailed descriptions of features, outfits, places...
• References (photos, moodboards, inspirational images)
• Personalities and background of the characters, their relationships if there are more
than one character in the piece
• Mood / atmosphere of the piece
• Size specifications, if any
• Deadlines, if any
Process and Changes
The client will receive images of the process that will depend on the type of
commission.
The most common will be sketch, lineart, base color and finished piece.
The artist has the right to increase or decrease the number of steps to show.
Substantial changes can only be made in the sketch.
The rest of the phases allow up to 3 non-substantial changes each. More changes can increase the price the amount that the artist considers.
Likewise, changes that should have been made in previous phases can increase the price between 5€ and 15 € depending on the complexity of making it.
Final Product
The file will be sent in png.
There is the alternative of receiving the product in .png or .pdf format if the client so specifies.
The commission price does not include native .psd or similar files.
The product will be delivered with a watermark or signature. Only in the commissions for commercial use may be requested to remove the watermark, but must be specified
by the customer.
Note (1): It is the buyer’s responsibility to save the files received. Loss of the files is not the responsibility of the creator.
Note (2): The artist will not provide a physical copy of the digital piece and she won’t be in charge of providing one even if the consumer offers to pay more for it.
Deadlines
The time to complete the work ranges from one week to one month normally, depending on the complexity of the commission and the availability of the artist. If more time is needed, the commissioner will be notified in advance.
This time does not start with the first email but when the artist sends the first sketch.
The artist may not be able to start the commission immediately. The client will be informed when it will be possible to start.
Urgent commissions may have an additional charge of 10%-15% if the artist had to adapt her work schedule to complete it on time.
Price and Payment
The prices are specified in EUROS (€) and an estimation in USD. However, this second amount is just an estimate which depends on the conversion rates that Paypal indicates. This currency rate includes the 3,5% fee that Paypal charges for conversions.
The payment will be done through Paypal or bank transfer (amounts over 80€). The money must be sent to the Paypal’s address provided, with the “I trust this person”option.
Two alternatives for the payment are allowed:
• Full payment in advance, after receiving the sketch
• 50% up-front in the moment of accepting the commission (before the sketch) and the other 50% before receiving the finished product. (Just +80€ commissions)
Artist Copyright, Credit and Reproduction
The client is paying for the artist work and the finished product, so the artist keeps all the rights to the artwork (distribution, reproduction, social media uses...).
The client must credit the artist properly:
• Social media: @kalisdice or @kalisdice.ocs
• Books or websites: Alba Navarro Francés (@kalisdice) [or Alba N.F. (@kalisdice) if space issues]

Refunds
Refunds aren’t accepted except for the following case:
> The finished product hasn’t been provided in three months.
Steps of the progress are provided during the commission process, which means
disliking the final result or changing of mind will be never considered a refund.
Taxes and fees
The list of prices shows the price with the VAT taxes included, if any.
Currently, In Spain, the VAT for original pieces of art is 10% and 21% for art which is going to be used for reproduction.
Some invoices may be exempt from this tax. In these cases, the proper normative will be indicated (in Spanish).
Invoices should be paid in EUR. If the client wishes to pay in another currency, they will be responsible for the fee that Paypal includes for performing the currency conversion.
This fee is approximately 3.5%.
