Terms of Service
There are many terms to read through. I know this can be daunting, but my experience as an artist has warranted all of these. If it is in these terms, I have experienced it. I have been scammed, used, slandered, harassed both sexually and verbally, and more. These terms are here to protect myself, and you.
1. Full Payment Up Front!
Do not send me a payment for a commission unless we have discussed in detail prior, and I have affirmed that I am taking on the commission.You do not pay in FULL until you are #1 on the commissions slot list.Exception for full payment upfront: it is in increments, in which case I will explain that process to you if you are eligible.
2. $30 USD up front to be on the commissions list.
Once you are #1 in the commissions slot, I will begin your piece, and the 30 dollars you have sent to reserve your place in the slot list is taken away from your commission price. (This means you pay $30 less.)This is non-refundable.This serves to keep others from taking up slots and changing their mind later, which puts other people's commissions on hold and is not fair to them or myself.If you are not certain that you want to commission me, please do not take up a slot.
3. NO refunds.
If you do not like the finished product, then this is a fault of your own. I LIVE stream my work to my customers, as well as on Twitch. Additionally, I offer many works in progress updates and allow many changes during the process of creating commissions. You will have many opportunities to alter the piece to your liking.Furthermore, you are paying for my time and skill. You cannot refund me my time and efforts, I will not be refunding your payment.The only way you will receive a refund is if I cannot finish your piece for whatever reason, or I have not started it, at which point I will refund you in full.
4. You have no right to make a chargeback, cancel the payment or demand
a refund from the artist under any circumstances after payment is sent or received.
If you initiate a chargeback against me or attempt to scam me, your entitlement to all the work I have created for you will be terminated, and I will have the right to sell the copyrighted artwork to new purchasers.Furthermore, please be aware that you will be blocked, and you will no longer be able to make any purchases from me. Your name, usernames and other information will be publicly posted for others to watch out for.I will press charges with the aid of my agent and lawyer. I have done so before, I will do it again. Please do not test me, I am too tired for that shit.
5. I reserve the right to decline any commission, for any reason.
If I do not feel confident in my ability to make your piece, I will decline your commission request, or refer you to an artist that can achieve what it is you desire to have done. Regardless of whether I harbor doubts about my abilities or simply lack the desire, I reserve the right to decline, irrespective of the circumstances.If I don't feel passionate about a project, I won't take on the project. I would rather make a beautiful piece I am confident and excited to make instead of forcing myself to make a piece.
6. I reserve the right to cancel a commission at any time, for any reason.
Cancelling a commission can occur in the result of the following:
You fail to communicate with me within 3 days of reaching the #1 slot.
You fail to properly communicate in general.
I feel I am being treated unfairly or unprofessionally, or you are neglecting/disrespecting me in some form. This also pertains to sexual harassment. Please, for the love of Art, stop hitting on me. I am not interested.
You are being troublesome in any way (Being uncertain or befuddled does not count).
And any other reason I deem suitable.
This means I will cease your commission, and you will not receive your piece, work in progress, or money back. To avoid this occurring, simply treat me like a normal human being. Harassments of any form will not be tolerated.
7. If you harass or abuse me in any form, I will block you, and you will not
receive a refund; screenshots will be posted here on my carrd for the public to see.
Do not;
Sexually harass me or flirt with me excessively and creepily and continue to do so after I have asked you to stop; I am a Human being, not a piece of ass. Just let me do my job, please. This is becoming a serious problem, let me work in peace.
Guilt trip me in any form.
Attempt to get free art in any form.
Hit on me constantly while I am trying to conduct business.
Try to gaslight, manipulate, blackmail or anything in an attempt to get something from me.
Say that you will be disappointed if I do not get a piece done in a specific timeframe, even if you are not even #1 on the commission's slot list yet. Then proceed to lie and slander me because I cannot get your piece done the moment you want it. Daddy's money does not buy everything. If you want your piece done quickly, ask about having a rush order.
Verbally abuse me in any form.
Harass me about when I am getting to your piece; Just look at the commissions slots. You can ask about an ETA for when I get to your piece or what not, but they are not definite.
It may have come to your attention that I am frequently having to request that people refrain from engaging in excessive flirtation with me. I am interested in making art, not developing romantic relationships. I know I'm hot but for fuck's sake let me work. PLEASE.
8. If you want to post my art anywhere on social media, be sure to credit
me by linking my website, twitch or other social media.
Give credit where credit is due. It is not mandatory, however, it would be greatly appreciated.
9. My art is for personal use only and is not intended for commercial use
nor resale. You may not steal or claim my art as your works, draw over it, trace, edit it or anything else.
I will throw down if I need to. I harbor the right to settle this situation through legal court otherwise. Furthermore, I am protected by DMCA and have an agent and lawyer ready.
10. I will take you to court and press charges for scamming me, refusing to
pay, or causing other complications.
I have already done this two times. I will do it again. I run a business, I am not here to play games, I am here to work and enjoy my passion. It still astounds me how people will scam others out of their hard work.
11. Please understand that completion time varies.
This is highly dependent on the requested piece. Artwork takes time to do, and some may take longer than others. Please be aware that I will not be committing to a specific timeframe. I do have a general timeframe, but it is not exact. The completion time of an art piece might be affected by other factors, such as health and other situations in my life outside art.Hyper realistic pieces can take anywhere from 40 to 80 hours (Which could takeat 2-4 weeks); way more for couples. I try to keep to a general time frame but dependent on the level of detail, if you commission a background with intricate design and more will alter this time frame significantly.Take this into consideration, please.Furthermore, please note, if you are not #1 on the commissions list, I will not start working on your piece yet. You must wait your turn.
12. Be aware that I have health complications that come first.
I suffer from a myriad of health complications; two of which are the most impacting on my ability to work: Carpal Tunnel and Arthritis.By commissioning me, you are understanding that this may impact the finishing time of an art piece. You are also understanding that I may have to take anywhere from a few days, to a week off from working on a piece to rest my hands.Oftentimes these conditions make it impossible to draw due to the tremulousness, the pain, or inability to grip and hold my pen. I am not fond of it either.Why do I make art if I have a health condition?
Some delusional person once told me I should not be making art because I have a health complication that can make completion times vary; I make art because it is my passion and a source of income. America sucks and I do not receive the healthcare or other services I require to live. Whilst being disabled with other severe disabilities outside carpal tunnel and arthritis, I cannot work a proper job unless it is from home; art is my best source of income and my passion. So I will continue to make art.Do not commission me if you don't like the fact that I will put my health before your art commission.
13. Those higher on the commission slot list have priority.
If there are people ahead of you on the commissions slots, you may find yourself waiting for a while until I get to your piece. Depending on your current position on the list, it is possible that you may have to wait for a generalized week to two months before I work on your commission. I try to work on a piece for 1 month at a time maximum.You may still receive sketches or pose ideas in preparation for your commission to be worked on, but I will not be actively working on your piece unless you are at the top of the list. The time that I actually begin painting your piece is when you are listed as #1 on the commission slots.Again, I cannot stress enough that the person in the #1 slot for commissions has priority on a piece being worked on actively. I will not work on your piece with my full attention until you are in the #1 place in the commission slots list. Nor am I obligated to until you reach #1.
If I do so, it is of my own free will.
14. You can bribe me to be bumped up the commissions list, or if you have
a Rush Order.
You can do this by paying FULL PRICE for your order up front. If this is a Rush Order, the price will differ dependent on how soon you require a piece to be done as well as the level of detail.If someone ahead of you is already doing a rush order, you will be placed below them, but above all others on the list. You will never be placed in the #1 slot, as that is reserved for art in progress. But you will be placed in the next slot.By commissioning me, you are accepting that you may be bumped lower as rush orders or otherwise take priority over your piece; unless you are paying rush order or paying full price up front. You will be notified of this occurrence should it come up.
15. If you want to see where you are on the commissions list;
You may check here on the home-page of the site; or you may join the Discord server to check there.You may ask how your commission is going at any time.
16. You must pay in USD.
Paying me in anything other than USD causes me to receive less than what was agreed upon. Pay me only in USD.
17. If I mess up on a piece due to my mistake; I will fix this free of charge.
I am very open to criticism if it is polite and makes sense. This is your commission, I want you to love it and enjoy looking at it. This is why I offer so many opportunities to change things.
18. I may stream the process of creating your art;
By commissioning me you accept that this might occur and you are giving me permission to do so. Unless it is NSFW or, a surprise gift of course!Your art may be made into a Youtube Speedpaint, you are acknowledging this, and accepting this potentiality.
19. I will take your ideas for poses, however;
I quite enjoy artistic freedom, and 99% of the time, my commissioners simply give me their character references and some information about the character or vibe/theme, and I run with the idea myself with my own ideas for poses and such. I do far better with artistic freedom; and if I am forced into extreme specifics with little to no artistic freedom I tend to take longer on pieces and lose motivation, or I might decline your commission, please take this into consideration.
20. I'm obliged to let you know if anything unexpected happens or if
the artwork suffers a lapse.
I will let you know if something comes up.Due to my chronic illness, carpal tunnel, and other health complications, I may have to take breaks from some art pieces for a few days or sometimes more dependent on my health status. Regardless as to the reason, I will let you know immediately.This is something you acknowledge and accept when commissioning me. My health comes first, your art is not on my top priority list; my well-being is.If this not something you are comfortable with, or are willing to accept, please do not commission me.
21. Should you desire to terminate the art commission; there will be
no refund.
It takes valuable time to create art, and taking up a commission slot takes opportunities away from other commissioners. You will not receive a refund for cancelling your order. As I say; you cannot refund my time and work, and thus I will not be refunding your money.Do not commission me if you are not certain you wish to commission me.
22. If I feel I cannot complete your commission due to health or some
other reason;
And I have already started on it; I will fully or partially refund your payment, depending on the circumstances and status of your order. I typically see if one of my artist pals is willing to take over a piece, or you are willing to work with them to get you a new piece or finish it.
23. You are purchasing the digital art file, not a printed art piece.
A PNG or GIF, not a physical copy.
24. Do not ask me to draw a different style.
If you commission me, it is because you like my work and style, not because your favorite artist is busy.
25. Even if you give me color pallet art references, I might modify them to
fit the piece / my style.
It would be minimal and it would be to better work with the colors, shades, or luminescence of the piece; if you would rather I stick to them specifically let me know; but it may impact the piece quality.i.e: If an eye color is a piercing bright blue, in the shade it might be a deeper blue. Or if an eye is a deep brown, in the light it might be a lighter hue, etc.
26. As an artist my art is constantly evolving.
There might be slight differences in style between samples or art styles and there may be differences in your own commissioned piece. Be aware of this, and keep this in mind. I am evolving my art constantly and learning new techniques and things that I enjoy, especially since I recently switched to a new painting program.
27. You acknowledge the following about the installment plan:
If you are doing Installments you will be placed in a separate category than the commissions slots list, but you will be on a list visible to the public. As you get closer to your final payment you will find yourself on the actual commissions list. Until then, all other commissions take priority over yours. Please view the installments plan portion of the carrd for more in depth information.
28. As the artist, I hold every right to the produced artwork, so I may
do whatever I wish with it, for example;
Post and or display the picture anywhere I want.
Promote myself with it in any social media or otherwise.
Use it in my portfolio and examples / and on this site.
Redraw with it; draw on it, edit it, alter, paint over it and adjust it for whatever purpose I so desire so long as it is not exactly akin to the piece you commissioned.
30. You are NOT ALLOWED TO:
Change, modify, or use my works without my permission. This means drawing on, painting or other editing.
Reproduce the copyrighted artwork commercially (this means making money off it in any way) if we didn't arrange it before.
Take credit for the art.
Remove my watermarks or signatures.
31. If you want your art piece to be private;
And do not desire your commissioned art piece to be posted anywhere online by myself or yourself; you will be charged a 20% fee (based on your commission price). If by any case you wish to 'un-private' that commission in the future (so me, or you may post it publicly), you need only to contact me and let me know; however, there will be no refunds on the extra private fee.If the art is posted publicly by yourself, this agreement is cancelled, and I may post it publicly as well.
32. By commissioning me a NSFW drawing, you are stating that you are
18 years of age or older.
You must be of 18 years of age or older to commission this type of art.
33. If you make false allegations toward me and my business, I will
crack down the whip of justice.
Whether it be defamation; libel, slander etc. or of any other kind, I will press legal charges and contact my civil attorney to regard the situation. I take my work and my business very seriously.
I have in the past, and will again, press charges.Due to recent situations, I have had to do so; please note that I am not bluffing, and as some know now, I will go through with it.
34. By purchasing any of my services, you're fully accepting my Terms
of Service.
And are obligated to follow them. You accept all the rules and words of this contract and, by continuing on to commission me, affirm that you understand these terms and accept that these words are binding.You agree to adhere to these terms, you acknowledge these terms, and you fully understand what they mean.(If you do not, please inquire.)

Size may vary.This art style introduces my own interpretation of detailed sketches. These can range from 'sketch line art' to some shading, or full color.Due to the simplicity of this style, rendering for color and detail is not perfected, and tends to favor a messier, less cleanly style. Sketch lines and other 'imperfections' are generally visible and left untouched.

Splashart (yet)
1.1 What I will, and will not do; in depth.
What I have listed is pretty explanatory, though in case you want more information regarding some of these;Not Safe For Work (Erotic) Art
Yes, I will draw it; depending on my mood. You are welcome to ask me if I am willing to do so before assuming I will do it. Occasionally, I simply am not in a place (work or visiting somewhere) to draw such things. Additionally, I may just not want to.Bloody, Violent, and Dark Themed art
Yes, I will draw darker-themed things and not bat an eye. This includes, but is not limited to;
Slaying creatures or beasts, murder, abuse of varying forms, violence of any form, death, cannibalism, certain things involving corpses, gore, blood, vomit, horror, BDSM-themes, amputating, knife-play, gun-play, open-wound 'stuff', and really anything else you can think of, so long to be it does not involve children. Please don't hesitate to ask me for something specific, and I will tell you if it is something I am willing to draw. Chances are, I am.
I will not draw scat.Drawing Lalafell or child-looking characters
This is a difficult topic for discussion; to me, Lalafell look like children. I am not interested in drawing these types of characters in an erotic nature. Your character can be small and cute, that is fine, but child-looking is not for me. I will draw 'child-like' (Chibi) characters in the form of stickers or emotes generally; I might try my hand at a normal style (SFW).Full-Bodied Pieces
No. I hate drawing them. Don't ask. I am not confident in my skills just yet.More Than Three Characters At Once
I will not typically do this unless it is some kind of sexy threesome ordeal or something. Three characters at once is hard, okay. I can also possibly do a family portrait type of thing. Maybe. I might not be feeling it, though, so feel free to ask me if it is something I want to do at the moment. Don't get huffy if I say no.Furries
Look, I have nothing against them, in fact, they're kinda hot. I am just not good at drawing them yet, my condolences. I might be willing to try if the mood strikes me, feel free to ask.Certain Kinks I Will Not Draw
Macro, micro, scat, insect sex (Just no), foot-play or anything with feet, seaweed choking (Why?), Armpit kink stuff; ask, there are probably more.Splash Art
I get a lot of people asking me for full art, or full splash art; I am currently in the process of honing that skill; so I cannot provide that style yet. Bear with me, I'll get there eventually; and am in fact working towards that speficially.
Introduction To The Commissioning Process
The commissioning process is fairly simple, despite a lot of writing being here. I felt it was crucial to provide as much information as possible to avoid any misunderstandings.Click the links below 'contents' to quickly navigate to more specific areas of this section, or the buttons above for the general area.

1.2. References; and how to make them
1.3. Payments; The process, and things to note.
1.4. Everything to know about Rush Orders
Please note that there is a 90% chance I will stream working on your art piece LIVE on Twitch. Additionally, I am more than willing to stream for you privately on Discord with VC or silence whilst working on sketches, or painting or any point provided it is within my realm of capability and time favors us. Please feel free to ask!
1. Introduction to the commissioning process
The commissioning process can be easily summed up into eight stages; four pre-commission phases, and four commission phases. The process for each is the same for every commission; if it differs for some reason, you will be notified.
First, we begin with the basics;
You join my Art Discord, and then you choose your product.
We discuss the pricing—And whether or not you are eligible for my installment plan if you desire it, if so, we will discuss how that process works, or I will refer you to the page specified for it.
We will discuss what you are looking to have done—and whether or not I deem it within my capabilities. I will also direct you to my 'Will do' and Will not do' list.
Assuming we have come to an agreement, we continue on to the commissioning process!
The Commissioning Process
In this process, we begin starting the commission.
1. PAYMENTI only accept payment up front!DO NOT PAY ME UNTIL YOU ARE #1 ON THE COMMISSIONS SLOT LIST.Unless it is in increments, in which case I will refer you to that process.
Or, you are paying for a rush order, or wish to be bumped up on the list.There is a $30 USD fee to be on the commission slot list.
2. Getting started.I will begin the process by asking a series of questions; for example; what kind of theme or 'vibe' are you going for? Are there certain colors or 'feels' you want to show in the piece? I will also gather your character references. You can learn more about how to prepare references in the coming pages.
3. Base Sketching.The next step is sketching. I will produce two sketches, and we will discuss which one best aligns with what you are looking for. Once we decide on that, we move onto the next step.You get one free revision at this point. Or a re-sketch (new pose).If you want a different pose, or want a different sketch, it will cost an extra + $10.00 USD for each new sketch.
4. Work, and works in progress!.This is the final phase of the commissioning process.I will work on your piece and send you updates. There will be THREE check-ins, so THREE revisions free. Depending on the kind of revisions, what they are, and how far along I am, you may be eligible for more.Revisions can be fixing hair, clothes style, eye shape, head, jaw, etc. Anything you see that you want changed, you can ask for it; when I say you get x1 revision, that means you get to have many but only at those stages. Example: Say I am in the base sketch, and you want the head re-shaped and the eyes bigger. I fix this, and we move on to the Detailed sketch. You decide you want to change the hairstyle; so I change it.If you wanted me to change something when we move to base-colors, I might not be able to do it. During the base color stage, you get to choose color changes and such.Check ins and Revisions.Base Sketch.
1st check in, x1 revision.Detailed Sketch
2nd check-in, x1 revision.Base colors
3rd check-in, x1 color revision.
Note that the more revisions that are requested, the longer a piece may take; I am not obligated to remain in a specific timeframe regardless. But take this information into consideration.Other altercations may be done if I am not finished with the painting process, just ask; but be ready to accept if I politely decline.Again, if you have me make many alterations, the piece may take longer than anticipated.
1.1 What will be required of and from you.
In order to ensure this process goes smoothly, there are things that I will require of and from you.
Know what you want before commissioning me.
Be very specific about what you want; as detailed as possible by sending me your ideas, doodles, art, references (photos from Google, or character screenshots) or anything else! Send as many as you can! The more references I have, the easier this will be.
If you have a color scheme or 'vibe' you want for your piece and have an image similar to it, I can attempt to replicate that 'vibe' or color theme.
You need to have a color palette.
1.2 References; and how to make them.
References are so important to making an art piece. Without them, an artist might fail miserably to make your character exactly how you depict them in your mind.Here is what I NEED.
Color palette; for hair color, skin, and eyes, makeup specifically. This is mandatory. If you need help, please inquire.
The character's head or character model in each direction; front, sides, quarter view.
The character has two hair options, up, and down; if your character does not have long hair, give me two styles you are okay with using. If there are none, simply give me one.
If your character has bangs or hair/accessories on the face or hiding the face, remove them and remove the hair (give them bald or short hair) so I can get the face details exact.
Two different outfits.
Jackets on and off in applicable.
Zoomed in on facial or body details; like moles, freckles, scars, or tattoos, nails etc.
If you do not have character references for your specific character, find images on Google with facial structures or eyes, colors or otherwise that match how you want your character to look, make a collage, and show me it.
Here are some examples of the kind of references I require in order to do your art commission.Click the pictures to view them in full.
1.3 Payments; The process, and things to note
Purchasing your art should be quick, easy, and stress-free. That is why I have a button on the bottom left hand corner of the screen that you can click to make a payment to me through Ko-Fi.com. If you do not want to make the purchase here on the site, feel free to go to my Ko-fi directly by clicking this text here. I also accept other forms of payment.
Paypal Directly
Ko-fi Site
Art Trades
Trade of services
Once the payment goes through, I will begin on your art piece immediately. The $30.00 USD that you sent to take a place on the commission slots list will be deducted from the price you pay me when you get to the #1 slot.
There are a few things you should know about payments.
Ko-fi is connected to my PayPal, which means if you make a purchase and try to 'charge-back' and scam me out of money, I will have the evidence of your making a purchase; as well as the evidence of our communication. Your chargeback will fail, and you will be flagged.
I have a lawyer, and an agent that aids me in the payment process; mainly gathering information to ensure if something were to go awry, I would be protected.
If you choose to send money through PayPal, and you make a chargeback; PayPal sends me the message you sent PayPal when making the chargeback. Yes, that means if you, say… hypothetically, were a very toxic and mentally/emotionally unwell person taking your real life anger out on those that care about you because your husband is cheating on you and has been for years. And commissioned me, then blocked me after having to part ways because you caused discomfort and upset with many people, including myself, to a point that I could not be around you anymore, and… hypothetically, you decided to make a chargeback on Christmas day and say horrible things about me to PayPal (all of which was untrue) in the description of why you want a chargeback or refund, I will see it. And I would, hypothetically, screenshot it and keep it on file to share with other artists should you decide to cause a scene and cause complications, despite us not being in contact. Hypothetically, of course. And while your complaint to PayPal would go to PayPal, and to me as well, it would still be declined as I have all the evidence pertaining to our transaction. Your name (RL and in any games) would be put in Art Servers and on blacklists to warn other artists to be weary of you. Hypothetically. And we would all hypothetically laugh at the screenshots. So don't do that.
1.4 Everything to know about Rush Orders
Rush orders are orders that are placed with the requirement of being completed within a specific timeframe; aka: a deadline.In order to meet the criteria of placing a rush order you must;
Pay full price up front, and an additional 'rush order fee' depending on how soon the deadline is and what you want done. The final price will be discussed.
Have all of your references prepared and ready to go.
Know exactly what you want and how you want it.
If you need to be #1 slot for a specific deadline, you can discuss with me a price to halt my work on a current commission if the price we discuss is within my liking.That's right, you can bribe me.And it is completely fine to do so.Otherwise,You will never be placed in the #1 slot, as that is reserved for art in progress. But you will be placed in the #2 slot.If someone ahead of you is already doing a rush order, you will be placed second below them, but above others.
So why would someone want to place a Rush Order?
There are lots of reasons someone might want their art to be in a specific timeframe. The most common ones are because they want pieces done before Birthdays, Weddings, Holidays, or other celebrations. Or, maybe they truly just want their piece done quicker. Who am I to judge?
The Installment Plan
I get it, money can be a bit tight for some of us!
(Heck, that's why I do art!)Below is the process and payment for the installation plan.
Click the links below 'contents' to quickly navigate to more specific areas of this section, or the buttons above for the general area.
1. The Installment Plan; what is it and how can it help you
1.1. The Installment Plan process
Note: If you are doing Installments you will be placed in a separate category than the commissions slots list, but you will be on a list visible to the public. As you get closer to your final payment, you will find yourself on the actual commissions list. Until then, all other commissions take priority over yours.
1. The Installment Plan;
what is it and how can it help you.
An Installment Plan is a plan made between me and a commissioner where instead of paying full price up front, the commissioner pays what they can on a specific time basis we decide on; weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, etc.
Why would someone want to do an Installment Plan?
Not everyone has money to throw around at artists for lovely pieces. I know personally what it is like to not have the income or budget to put toward treating myself by commissioning an artist.So I created this installment plan, so that everyone can enjoy my art.
How can someone qualify for an Installment Plan?
Anyone can apply for an Installment Plan, assuming that I have my Installment Plan slots open. You do not need to make a certain income nor provide evidence that you are struggling; you only need to tell me that you wish to apply for an Installment Plan.
1.2 The Installment Plan Process
So how does this Installment Plan Work?I am glad you asked.
You will pay a certain amount of money (You and I decide on this amount) weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly, whichever is most affordable for you.
Every installment you pay, I will work more on your piece.
So say (hypothetically), you pay $50.00 USD upfront; I will get the sketch and general shading ideas down and send you a Work In Progress; but stop the work there.When you pay the next amount, I will begin to add details; maybe some color or more intricate shading, but nothing super neat or close to finished; you receive a Work In Progress. Once you pay your last payment, I will finish your piece!We will discuss the amount you desire to pay at each payment and I will do the work I deem worthy of that payment and send updates as deemed necessary.
Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some commonly asked questions and the answers I have for them.
Why is your website so dark?Bright lights hurt my eyes. The images in the Gallery are dimmed because of this as well. This is my personal preference, and I feel blinded when sites are all white.
What payment methods do you accept?I accept payments directly through this site! There is a floating button you can click at the bottom left-hand corner! It sends payments to my Ko-Fi.You can also send me payments through Ko-Fi directly, or through PayPal - Paying through Ko-fi sends it to my PayPal and I prefer the anonymity. But will do whatever is most comfortable for you!
Can I use the artwork as my icon, profile picture, etc.?Of course!But you MUST credit me if someone asks.I might even resize it for free to fit your profile size if you desire.
Do I get to offer feedback during the process?Yes! You are allowed specified amount of revisions.
Can I commission an artwork similar to one of your past works?Why the heck not? I am down to just taking one of my old pieces and remake it as your character(s), depending on the piece, or making something very similar to it.Or even if you want a certain color scheme that is in one of my other pieces.
If I show you an art piece with a theme, color scheme, pose, idea, vibe, etc. would you be able to make something similar?I could certainly try! This can be difficult sometimes, especially if you are trying to respect another artist's creativity and ideas.
Can I get a refund if I don't like the piece, or for any other reason?No.
