Q: Who are you exactly?
A: I'm a dude born in 1979., in a small place in Croatia. Drawing all my life and still learning. I've had a band, been there, so I understand what every band is goin through. I drink too much coffee and I smoke. Yes, I live unhealthy, yes, I'll proly die more sooner than later. Huge horror movie buff too. Enjoyin concerts and good music, book or video game. Primary, I'm video game artist, 2d concept artist to be more precise, but nowdays I'm concentrated on helping bands out. So, shoot!
Q: What do you offer?
A: I offer a wide range of designs, concept art, book covers, cd covers, shirt designs, tattoo designs, logos ... you name it, I'll do it! There is no weird, sick, strange, dumb, grotesque idea that I can't pull off for you. My works are in digital medium so they are faster to make, easier to transfer, big as you want them to be. No limitations of any kind. Every music style is welcome, every style of art. You are my boss till we finish what you asked for. I'm happy slave!
Q: Do you charge your services?
A: Well, that's a tricky one. *text about economy alert* I know how things are bleepin fucked in the whole world, I know the bands are shit poor, hell, not just bands, everyone. To tell you the truth, and now, you won't believe this: I don't bath in money too! We all need to pay our rents, bills, food, bullets, strings, you name it. *end of text about economy* So, yeah, I DO charge for my services. I wasn't charging every gig before, but as things go from bad to worse with economy I changed that.
Q: What are the prices?
A: Prices for each design are listed below. It actually depends of design, it depends from project to project. If something is highly detailed, if I do countless revisions of it of course it will cost more. The thing is, stuff takes time to make. Basically,
| back/front/cd design | 350 USD |
| book cover | 200 USD |
| shirt | 150 USD |
| logo | 200 USD |
| tatoo design | 200 USD |
| concepts | 100 USD |
Based upon design complexity and number of revisions these prices go up or down. Nothing is written in stone, we can nagotiate. I approach to every project individually, with same care and passion. That, I can assure you of! Feel free to conctact me.
Q: How and when do I send the money?
A: PAYPAL is available. Other solutions are Western Union, direct bank account payment or good old money in the envelope (or cd). Yep, still goin medieval. Things worked fine till now. So feel free to use any of those solutions and ask me for details.
I usually take money AFTER completed project. My other fellow designers/artists ask half of the price just to start working. But I still believe in good business relationship and your honesty. My primary objective is you being satisfied with the design.
Q: How long will it take to get stuff I've payed for?
A: Again, it depends of complexity of work and the number of revisions, also it depends of my time or number of projects I'm workin on at the moment. Fastest thing I did was in one day, slowest was 2 weeks. Your stuff will be done in few days. That's quick and painless. I want you to become my regular customer, to be satisfied so you can concentrate more on your work and leave me to take care of my part of the deal. It's a win-win situation.
Q: How do you send your stuff?
A: I'm sending your stuff through email or, if the file is too big, through secured file sharing service. Quick and painless, once again. I do not redistribute your stuff, or showing it in other places, such as this site, without your permission. If you wanna make it as exclusive to your site, I'm fine with that.
Q: Describe me a process a bit more.
A: It starts with your idea, or not, maybe you don't have a clue what you wanna see. I'm prepared for both. Firstly, I'll be sending roughly sketches till we settle on theme and composition. After you greenlight it I'm starting with colors and/or color schemes. This process repeats till we both settle on something that will, in the end, become your desired desgn. It demands comunication, so please, be prepared to answer all my questions and emails. The sooner you answer stuff I wanna know, or sooner you give me feedback the sooner the whole design will be finished. Good comunication is all I ask from you.
Q: How should I contact you beside this site?
A: That's an easy one. You can email me anytime at contact@maggotmaster.com, you can find me on Skype - nadut666 ... if, by some weird naked miracle all this fails you can always find me on facebook, LinkedIn or MySpace. You can click on small icons that are placed on lower right part of my site. Viola!
Q: Do you accept merchandise instead of money... maybe?
A: I cannot live of merchandise, but I can drop a price by some percentage when the merchandise is offered. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE merch, I have full closet of it. You can always email me with your offers. I'm open for every kind of idea, discussion and offer. You won't know it if you don't ask!
