Commissions
FAQCommission Request FormIllustrations — Character Designs — Hypothetical Offspring Designs — ARPG Designs
What species can you draw?Pretty much anything! I’ll rarely turn down a species. There’s not anything I’m convinced I won't be able to find a way to draw!A list of the main species I draw, in order from most often to least often:– Felines
– Canines
– Dragons
– Anthros
– Centaurs
– Other fantasy/made up creatures
– Humanoids (human or human resembling)If there is still something that you’re particularly interested in and I don’t have it listed, don’t worry! I’m open to discussing other options! This is just to share all the main things I'm offering.
What will you NOT draw?– Sexual content– Real-life people (with the exception of photo references being used for facial features)– Content aimed to be derogatory or harmful in any way toward other individuals or groups– Political content– Illegal content– Characters associated with anyone who has engaged in severe discourse or has otherwise been involved in harmful behaviorsI can answer questions/give clarification for anything needed about this!
What is the turnaround time for commissions?Depending on commission type and the current queue, 1 week-1 month is the estimate. Some commissions may end up taking less than a week, however!
Will I receive work-in-progress updates?Yes! As many as you’d like! I send WIPs for approval along the way, and I can send any additional updates you’d like to have.
How are payments made?Via Ko-fi or PayPal!Payments will be made in full before I begin on a piece.
How about refunds?Full refunds can only be made if I haven’t begun yet.Partial refunds can be made at the planning & sketching stage if there were add-ons (refund total being the sum of the add-ons).If there were no add-ons and only the base price was paid, then no refunds can be given.If I have progressed beyond the initial stages of planning & sketching, there can be no refunds.
What if I want to make a change to my commission order?You can make any changes before I start on the piece. Keep in mind that it may either increase or decrease the price.At any point once progress has begun, if you’d like to add something/upgrade your commission, then I can include them, as long as the cost of the fees are covered.I cannot provide refunds for the removal of add-ons after they’ve been added in the piece.Once I start working on the piece, some changes may be much more difficult to make. I’m happy to make minor modifications within reason. Significant changes may require additional fees or an entirely new commission to be paid for.
Do I have the commercial rights to the art I commission?Artwork I'm commissioned to make does not automatically come with commercial rights!Depending on the scenario, commercial rights will cost 50%-200% more than the original price of the piece.
