COMMISSIONING PROCESSPayment
After filling out your request in the commission form, I will draw up a rough draft sketch of the piece and send you a quote of the total cost for your commission. I only take payments in USD through CashApp, PayPal, or Venmo. I will not officially start work on the commission until the payment has been made. Please provide your preferred method of contact (email, direct messaging, etc.) so I may keep you updated with the progress of your commission.Information
Once the payment has been made, I’ll ask for details about how you want your commission to look. I can work off of descriptions, but providing reference images for your subject(s) is ideal. I’ll also need to know what kind of expressions, poses, outfits, props, or backgrounds (if any) you’d prefer. The more details, the better.Work
Once I’ve started work, I’ll send work-in-progress images so you can confirm if the piece is going in the direction that you want it to. I’ll send as many WIP images as requested and will make sure they have your approval until I move on to the next phase of development. I will always send at least one image for each stage (rough sketch, refined sketch, lineart, color, rendering) before completion.How long will it take?
I work on commissions using a queue system. Priority is given to orders that have been paid for first or have a deadline set by the buyer. This means it may take time for me to finish other commissions before I can get to yours.
Simpler illustrations (sketches, lineart, flat colors, headshots, busts, etc.) may take anywhere from less than a day to a week after they’ve been started.
More complex illustrations (full-bodies, lineless, realism, backgrounds, multiple characters, etc.) could take anywhere from a week to three months after they’ve been started.
The amount of time it takes to finish a commission once it’s been started depends both on how busy my schedule is as well as the amount of detail needed to complete the piece at an acceptable level of quality.
Ideally, no commission should take longer than a month (for simpler illustrations) or three months (for complex illustrations), excluding time waiting in queue. If the wait for a commission ever exceeds this time, you are entitled to a full refund upon request.Can I get a physical copy of my commission?
A physical copy of your commission can be shipped to you upon request. There will be extra charge for printing (for digital work), laminating (if applied), packaging, and shipping.
For digital work, PSD files of the finished commission are available for you to download free-of-charge upon request.

REFUND POLICYAll buyers are eligible for a full refund at any time as long as the commission is less than a quarter to being finished. If I’m almost done with the commission, I will keep working on it to completion. If it is almost finished and you still want to cancel, you will get a 50% refund.
Any commissioners I have chosen to cancel will get a full refund regardless of how close I am to being finished.
Any commissioners who have waited a month (for simpler illustrations) or three months (for complex illustrations) for their commission to be finished (excluding time waiting in queue) are entitled to a full refund (regardless of how close I am to being finished) upon request.

REVISION POLICYFor digital pieces, revisions can be made at any time. Minor revisions are free of charge. However, major revisions which require the complete rearrangement or removal of work already done will be charged a fee. This fee is $10 for each hour spent on the work which the client has requested to rework or remove (the hours spent on any work in the piece that the client has not requested to change will not be calculated for the fee total).For traditional pieces (specifically involving permanent ink or color media), revisions can only be made in the sketching phase. Once the piece has moved into the lineart and color phases, changes cannot be made. If you still wish to have a traditional piece revised past that point anyway, I can start the piece over entirely for a fee of $10 (lineart phase) or $20 (color phase). Traditional pieces done in graphite or charcoal follow the same revision policy as digital pieces as those are more reworkable as opposed to colored pencil or marker.Note that revisions apply to the client changing their mind on commissions details or wishing to make last minute changes during the work process. If a revision must be made because I made a mistake on the commission, the client will not be charged a revision fee. Similarly, the client will not be charged if the commission has to be started over because the original was lost or damaged. Instead if this happens, the client is entitled to a full or partial (50%) refund (full if they wish to cancel the commission, partial if they wish for the commission to be started over).

BOUNDARIESI will not under any circumstances draw hateful or bigoted material, illegal material, or NSFW (including suggestive imagery or fetish art). I will not draw art intended for use as NFTs or for AI training.I have the right to decline any request which makes me uncomfortable, even if it doesn’t fall under any of the categories listed above.
