To be clear, by the way, if we did go with this I would be willing to
help cover one NPC myself if no character of mine made it into the picture.

Heya Matthias! I would be honored to do a picture like that ^.^ I
could give you a deal on a silver-level painting commission (my price
chart <http://www.furaffinity.net/view/13420017/> has some examples),
since that would be the style I'd prefer to use for it. I'd rather not
use the "toony color" style as doing large groups in that style is
super finnicky and takes forever >.< For a cheaper option, the
"colored sketch" style would work well too, but I'm hesitant about
using the bronze-level painting as it tends to be a messy, chaotic
arting process and would easily get super confusing with too many
characters. I'll give you some quotes:
Silver painting - $50 per character, and if there's eight or more
characters I'll do the background for free. Seven or less, the
background would be the standard price, between $30 and $50 depending
on complexity.
Colored sketch - $25 per character. Normally I don't do backgrounds
for colored sketch pieces, but if you want one I'm willing to do it,
whether it's a quick, sketchy background or a full shaded one (the
latter being the same as I'd do for the silver painting option, and
with the same price tag).
While normally I would adjust the per-character prices on an
individual basis for complexity (so people with very complex
characters would pay more like $60, while very simple characters -
feral animals are a good example, as they don't wear clothing and are
often smaller - would pay $40), for a large group commission like this
I figure it's easier to charge you, the group, a flat rate, and let
you work out the dividing of payments between yourselves. Does that
sound fair?
Feel free to forward this around your group and let me know what you
guys think. And thanks for thinking of me! ^.^

So yes, she would give a discount, as her Silver painting is usually
$70 per character instead of $50. So if we want her level (and I love
her stuff and think she'd do a great MK group picture) we're looking
at about $350 for six (plus background) to $400 for eight characters.
If we did that many, I recommend a landscape orientation so that the
characters actually have room to be seen.
So, there's one possibility and the cost involved.
May He bless you and keep you in His grace and love,
Charles Matthias
