TERMS OF SERVICE
By commissioning me, you agree to respect my terms of service. If these are broken, you will be blacklisted.
GENERAL T.O.S.
Terms to follow with all commission types.
I require at least one digital fullbody reference image for every character I draw. While there is an exception to be made if you are only ordering a headshot or bust, the reference must still be digital. If you want me to work with only a written description, you should be ordering a custom design.
Payment must be in USD via PayPal invoice only. Other forms of payment will not be accepted.
I require payment upfront before I start working. Please send the payment within three days of your order being accepted. If you fail to do this, I will remind you, but if I still haven't received payment within one week after that, I will have to cancel the commission.
Refunds can only be given if I have not started the linework.
If I cannot continue your commission for any reason, I will issue you a full refund.
My art is digital only; you will not receive a physical copy. If you would like to print it, you may do that yourself.
If you are ordering multiple characters interacting in the same piece, please clarify their sizes and relationship to each other.
If you wish to remain anonymous and not have your username written in the slot you take up, please tell me this when you place your order.
CUSTOM DESIGN T.O.S.
Terms to follow specifically with regards to custom designs.
My general Terms of Service still apply here.
Don't resell the design for more than you paid, unless you've made or received additional art of the character to increase its value.
You may change the design as you see fit, as long as I am still credited for the original concept.
The more detail you provide, the better. Don't worry about being picky — I work best with clear and detailed instructions on exactly what you have in mind.
I am willing to design fan OCs, but only if I am familiar with the fandom they're from. This is to ensure I can create something that feels grounded in the setting. Feel free to ask me if I'm familiar with any fandom and I will let you know.
USEFUL INFORMATION
Pertaining to time estimates and general specifications of my artwork.
On average, it takes me anywhere from two weeks to two months to finish a single commission, depending on the complexity of the order and how busy I am. If you are concerned about how long it's been, feel free to ask for an update — just be respectful and please don't rush me. I can assure you, I have not forgotten about your order.
My order of priority is first come, first serve, the only exception being that I usually work on custom designs last because they take significantly more time and effort than any other commission type.
The number of slots you take up corresponds to the number of separate pieces you order.
Once your order is accepted and I have received payment, I will send you a sketch to approve in case there's anything you'd like me to change before I continue working. After this, the next thing you receive will be the finished piece. This is because I most often start and finish orders in the same sitting, as this is the easiest way to ensure I get them done in a timely manner.
If you want any modifications made to the finished piece, you may ask me. I will make up to five minor changes. Minor changes include but are not limited to things such as color corrections, lineart adjustments, and of course, fixing any mistakes I may have made. I will not draw an entirely different pose, outfit, or background for a piece that has already been completed.
By default, everything except for sketches and custom designs will come with a transparent background. If you would like it to be a solid color instead, let me know.
All of my artwork is made on Krita using a Gaomon S620 tablet. Canvas size varies; I usually start with 2000 x 2000 and crop or resize as needed.
AS THE ARTIST...
I will never ask you to cover my PayPal fees.
I reserve the right to decline or cancel a commission for any reason.
I reserve the right to use any commissions as examples of my work, including on social medias. If you do not want me to post your commission anywhere public, just tell me and I will refrain from doing so.
AS THE CLIENT...
You may upload any commissioned pieces anywhere you wish as long as I am explicitly credited and you are not claiming the work as your own. This includes using it as your icon on any site. A direct link to this site or any of my socials, or just a mention of my username, is all I require.
You may not remove or obscure my signature for any reason whatsoever, nor may you trace or edit any of my artwork in any way. Similarly, you may not send it to other artists to trace or edit in any way.
You may not use my art for commercial use.
You may not make NFTs of my art or put it into AI art programs.

CUSTOM DESIGN
A brand new character design made with your guidance. Need a face to put to your D&D character's name? A design for your main character? An OC from your favorite media (as long as it's something I'm familiar with)? I've got you covered!By default, design sheets come with one flat colored fullbody, one flat colored bust, some design notes, a color palette, a closeup of the character's eye, and a simple background.Designs for OCs from media with a simple art style (like Hollow Knight) may be cheaper than the listed price depending on what you have in mind.Please note that most of the examples here were made for my personal use, which is why most of them do not follow the same pattern.

PAINTED STYLE + FULL SCENES
Scenes aren't my strong suit, but I'm willing to consider them at a higher cost. Usually, they require heavy use of reference images for the background.Canvas texture optional. If you plan on printing the finished piece on a canvas, I can provide a version without it.
GRAYSCALE SCENES
These will not be nearly as high effort as painted scenes.They don't have to be in gray. Most other single colors will work too.
