Translation Art Service
About - FAQ - Samples
What is Translation Art..., and how is it done?
Answer: I've been calling it (Translation Art) for the longest time... but rotoscoping. is probably the real name for this. The concept of taking an image and going over it in a various art related program.
How much do you charge, and what methods of pay do you accept?
Answer: The requested fee (Per person in the image) is...
- $25 if paying by PayPal.
- $25 by Interac e-Transfer.
- $25 (Canadian Only) Nintendo eShop Card.
To make things simple and easier for you... $25 in your own currency is fine.
If it's more, it's more. If it's less, it's less. I will accept the gamble of loss or gain.
Important Note: If using Nintendo eShop cards as your method of payment, please know that I can only hold up to a total of $350 at a time and they must be (Canadian). I would highly advise checking first, to see if I have the available space first.

Can I get one done with more then just one person in the photo, and how much will that cost?
Answer: Yes..., $25 (x) the number of people in the selected photo.
Can I get a discount?
Answer: If you fall within the following... Yes.
- You've helped to bring me business.
- You're a repeated and reliable paying customer.
- You've paid me way more then the current asking price.
Example: You liked what I've done for you so much, that you've paid double, like $50, instead of the current asking price of $25.
The next time you request one done, if you don't have the correct amount... I'd be willing to let it slide... provided as long as you make it clear that you'd like to use up your discount.

Can I please pay you first? I'd hate to go off and forget to pay you for your time and effort.
Answer: I strongly prefer you to please wait until after you have received.
You may, or may not even like the final result.
Some people translate very well... while others... not so much. And I personally prefer a happy and satisfied customer... over a disappointed one.
I also don't want to keep track of who's who and who paid me and who didn't and end up accidentally refunding the wrong person.

What happens if I ignore your warning..., and still proceed to pay you first?
Answer: While I greatly appreciate your trust in me to deliver satisfactory results... your payment will be declined and you will be refunded.
If you say you're happy with the end result and that you're going to pay for it... and you end up taking a while... I will remind you.
Trust me.

How long does it usually take you?
Answer:
- Inserting the basic colors only takes a few minutes
- Outlines usually take about 20 - 30 Mins (Depending)
- Shading and lighting is kind of tricky as it's a make or break... so unknown.
Overall... probably maybe an hour... or 3? Provided there's no distractions or complications.

Hey... So... I've sent a request over and over again..., and I've noticed you've skipped me and have done others who've requested after me?

Just have to go with the flow... So please don't take it personally.

If I promise you pay... will I get mine sooner?
Answer: While it's nice to know and or see who's actually interested in paying me... no.
Just have to go with the flow and have to let my hand decide.
Can't rush art as they say. If you actually need it for something however... and there's a time limit... I'll try to make it a top priority though.

What's your PayPal?
Answer: www.paypal.me/DaneSpurrell
Note: You can pay in your own currency. I will accept the gamble of loss or gain should I choose to convert it to CAD. Should make things easier for you.
And who knows... I might need your currency for something... like if you're paying in USD... I can put that towards my website.
So it should all work out.
And also, choose the (Send money to friends and family) option.

Where can I buy Nintendo eShop cards... and why is this option limited to Canadian customers only?
Answer: You can buy Nintendo eShop cards at your local Walmart, GameStop and Needs, just to name a few.
As to why this is only limited to those in Canada, the cards are region locked in short. Canadian cards only have CAD worth currency.
While cards in the USA, have USD worth... and so on... and so forth.

May I please use my new photo for various things?
Answer: Of course. Tis yours to do with as you please. ^-^
What's your thoughts on others using your art without permission?
Answer: As long as it's not being used for a dirty or harmful reason..., it really doesn't matter to me personally.
As for the person who owns said picture... they might take personal issue using their image. But I can't speak for them. Gamble at your own risk is all I can say.

What are your thoughts on not being credited..., and thoughts on someone instead, taking credit for your work?
Answer: Less work for me to do... and... if someone really does try to take credit for what I've done..., best of luck to them for trying to replicate is all I can say.
I live outside of Canada, so by default getting you Nintendo eShop cards are not an option, my bank does not offer Interac e-Transfers outside my country and I don't have PayPal... Is there another way for me to repay you for your time and effort?
Answer: You could make a PayPal... but if for whatever the reason you don't like or trust PayPal... Sharing is caring as they say.
What happens if I don't financially pay after promising you pay?
Answer: Depending on the situation, like, if you had every intention on repaying me for my time, work and effort, but simply can't due to technical reasons, like example, say your PayPal isn't working right at the time of transaction, please advertise me and my services like there's no tomorrow in the meantime.
And when you get it fixed, you can proceed to pay me then.
But please be open and honest with me at all times. Taking the goods and just running off isn't cool. And if you do neither... I just simply won't do anything else for you ever again until you do. If you haven't already seen my Shopping List, I've got bills and supplies to pay for and I, for one, strongly prefer "NOT" to starve my family... or myself, due to an eat and run.

Answer: The following reasons listed below may explain why you were done. And (as long as you don't tell me you're going to pay me) I don't expect any payment from you.
- Promotional Reasons (As a means to attract new customers)
- Or, someone else, might have paid me to do yours

Do you offer physical printed copies... or is this digital only?
Answer: As of right now, digital only. This might change in the future if there's enough demand for it. But in the mean time, you could probably go to your local Walmart or something and get it printed there, as well as a nice frame to go with it to help keep it safe. And possibly even get it laminated for extra protection to help preserve it longer.
I've misplaced my copy... is there a way I can obtain another one?
Answer: Yes. Please feel free to Contact Me and put the subject as: "Lost my Translation Art" or to check both my DeviantArt and or Google Drive for faster results.
Why have your prices gone up?

For clarity, while I may raise the price..., I will continue to honor thee original agreed price for production that you and I speak about on said (Insert production).
