How much Will This Cost Me...?

At Thunderbird Craft & Media we try to keep our fees as low as possible. We need to make a living, but we aren’t into screwing people over. Below is a list of the standard fees we charge for our services. If we think we can carry out your request for less, we’ll tell you - honestly. On occasions we may need to increase our fees due to circumstances. If we need to charge you more than the standard fee, we’ll tell you up front before you engage our services. The standard fees below, then, are simply a guide to our normal charges and we reserve the right to increase or decrease them if we feel it necessary. In any event, we’ll tell you in writing what the charges will be before you decide to engage our help.

Digital Illustration (photograph)

When you purchase a digital illustration (photograph) from Thunderbird Craft & Media, the image becomes yours and you inherit the copyright.  You are then free to do what you like with the image and use it freely as many times as you wish. Thunderbird Craft & Media will NEVER re-sell the image on to another purchaser.  Each image is unique and created specifically to your requirements.

Before purchasing the image you will be sent a watermarked, traceable thumbnail copy so that you can evaluate whether it matches your requirements. If you’re happy with it, then you can go ahead and purchase the full image which will be e-mailed to you as a high-quality j.peg or, if you require, in another digital format.  

Alternatively, you can request that the image be altered and enhanced in some way. Occasionally (but not always) an extra charge may be involved for this, and we’ll send you a written quotation so that you can evaluate whether you wish to proceed.
