Utilize this guide to aid you in estimating a price for a future custom!
Because of the personalized nature of customs, you may not find a specific edit listed, or your edit may fall into an “in-between” category. If you’d like more information about how a certain edit would be priced, please echo Mycenangelo, the official artist account.
What is included in the base price of a custom? For the base price, you get the unaltered template of the species, type, and pose of your choice colored however you’d like by an artist! The complexity of the coat design does not alter the price. The base cost of a species is priced according to the complexity (layers, shape, etc.) of the template which in turn correlates to how many hours an artist generally spends creating a finished product of that particular species.
What is an edit? An edit alters or adds to the base template lines or shading. Edits are optional and come at an additional cost to the base price. Edits increase the price of your overall custom because artists must spend additional time creating edits on top of the base template.

Pet backgrounds depict scenery and layer behind Mycenians. Due to their size and detail, backgrounds tend to be the most time-consuming edit for artists to make. If you are thinking about getting a background, keep in mind that it will increase the cost of your custom significantly and will also likely at least double the amount of time the artist spends making your custom.
Mini or Partial Background - 3 PP+ ($15+)
Basic Large Background - 10-12 PP ($50-60)
Complex Large Background - 13 PP+ ($65+)
If you plan on getting a heavily edited custom, you may be wondering if your edits are allowed! Below, you will find some general guidelines about edit limits.
The pricing in the above guide is largely also accurate for edits added through the edit queue, but there are a few differences.
If you’re wanting an old custom revamped, that can usually go through the edit queue (though it takes multiple rounds depending on the revamp).
Contact Mycenangelo with specific inquiries and they will give you more details!
