Custom commissions.
A commission is not "pick and pay." It is a short conversation to see if the project makes sense for both of us. If the brief fits my work, I take it seriously and carry it through. If it does not, I will tell you early so neither of us wastes time.
§ 12.01What kind of commissions I accept.
I work with private collectors, institutions, and commercial projects. My territory is portraiture and character construction — the blend of human and animal as mirror, without moral lessons.
Commissions that tend to work well:
- One-of-a-kind piece for a home or private collection.
- Covers and editorial — books, magazines, cultural campaigns.
- Campaign imagery — branding, advertising, product launches.
- Visual concept for audiovisual — film/series poster, key art, character worlds.
- Collaborations and licensing when the usage is well defined.
Animal Kinhood is one of my ongoing series. If the commission involves that universe, I am open to it as long as I can maintain coherence and detail.
§ 12.02What I don't do.
Better to be upfront:
- Copies or "versions" of other artists' work.
- Fan art of third-party IP or copyrighted characters without authorization.
- Projects that ask me to imitate styles that are not mine.
- Commissions involving messages or uses that clash with my ethics (hate, discrimination, propaganda).
- Briefs with impossible deadlines or without a realistic budget (even a range helps).
§ 12.03How it works.
- 01You send me a brief (see the checklist below).
- 02If it fits, I propose an approach, terms, and budget.
- 03We agree on timeline and scope (and, if commercial, usage/license).
- 04I produce the work and we close/deliver as agreed.
§ 12.04What I need to evaluate your commission.
Copy-paste this into your first message — the more clarity here, the faster I can say yes or no and propose a path:
- Who you are — individual, studio, brand, or institution.
- What you need — one-of-a-kind piece, cover, campaign, etc.
- Intended use — private or commercial.
- If commercial: media/channels, territory, duration, and whether you need exclusivity.
- Format — digital, print, or both — and dimensions if applicable.
- Dates — when you need it and why.
- Budget — a range is fine.
- References — 2–5 links or images, and what interests you about them.
§ 12.05Send the brief.
The form mirrors the checklist above. On submit it opens your email client pre-filled.
§ 12.06Get in touch.
- Email:
- mail@yagopartal.com
- WhatsApp (messages only):
- +34 644 44 20 03
If you write via WhatsApp, it helps to include your email too — things stay tidier when a commission has multiple steps.
If you think your idea fits, write me with the brief and we will take it from there.
