- To make things a bit easier, I have created a Commission Form that includes some basic questions, [ it can be found here. ] Please read my Terms of Service before contacting me.
- It is okay to send Commission Price Inquiries when I am not accepting commissions, but it might take some time for me to respond.
Content/Prompts that will be Rejected:
1. NSFW / fetish content. Non-sexual nudity is fine though. (Semi-suggestive nudity is okay, but the character may have to be covered up a little depending on pose and context.)
2. Political or religious imagery.
3. Harmful content or content that depicts or encourages harm to people or animals.
4. Characters under the age of 18 years in adult or violent situations.
5. My own characters.
6. A style / way of drawing that is different than my own.
7. I have lifted restrictions on fanart commissions somewhat. I will
only accept 2D fanart commissions if I am allowed to create my own
interpretation of the character. I will not accept to work on
fanart commissions of depictions of characters belonging to individuals
or small indie projects. I will also reject to work on a fanart
commission if I don't find the character or media they are from to be
very interesting or if I have already recently finished / started
working on commissions of the character you are requesting. I will not accept to work on NSFW / fetish / nude fanart commissions, they will be rejected.
This list may receive edits/revisions in the future.
Terms of Service
2. The artist will only discuss commissions via e-mail.
3. The artist must be paid before they begin any official work on the commission. Commissions costing over $50 will receive a test sketch, the artist will not need to receive payment before working on the test sketch. 3D commissions will not receive test sketches. Commissions costing over $120 can have a payment plan, where the client can pay for the commission gradually over time. The artist may pause the commission’s progress until a certain percentage of the commission’s price has been payed. Clients will not receive the final version of their commission until the full payment is complete.
4. The artist may refuse a commission for any reason.
5. The client must provide a detailed description for what is desired for the commission, such as commission type, poses, color, etc. Visual references for character(s) must be provided by the client.
6. The artist offers multiple opportunities for revisions throughout the commission process, the maximum total of revisions will be set based on the commission type and complexity. A list of a maximum of 6 changes will count towards 1 revision, a list of more than 6 changes will count towards multiple revisions.
7. The artist may reject any revisions pertaining to skill or style / way of creating work. Revisions requiring a complete redo of the commission or a redo of a large portion of the commission when it is past the first phase will be rejected.
8. Commissions are separated into phases, for example: sketch -> refinement sketch -> inks -> color. Phases will vary based on the commission medium and other variables. The artist will not move onto the next phase of the commission until the client is satisfied with the current phase.
9. The artist will provide the client with regular updates on the commission. The client may contact the artist for an early update on the commission once 48 hours have passed since the last message they’ve received from the artist.
10. If the client communicates poorly or expresses rude behavior, the artist may cancel the commission.
11. If a commission is canceled during the first phase, either by the artist or client, the client will receive a refund of 50% the cost of the commission if 50% or more of the commission’s cost was payed, otherwise whatever the client has payed will be refunded. Cancellations past the start of the second phase will receive no refund.
12. If the artist cancels the commission due to personal emergencies or sudden lack of time they will give a full refund of what the client has payed for the commission.
13. If the client wishes to use the commissioned work for commercial purposes they will have to pay a fee. The fee will vary based on the product and other factors.
14. Commercial rights to the commission may include permissions such as to alter the artwork slightly, print it onto products, or to promote a service or product. Permissions will be discussed by the artist and client.
15. If a commercial fee was not payed, clients can use the commissioned work for personal purposes only. Such as to have the commissioned work printed for personal display or crop it for use as an online profile icon. They cannot alter the artwork.
16. Clients are not allowed to use the commissioned artwork for NFTs (non-fungible tokens) or anything relating to blockchains/cryptocurrencies.
17. Clients can share a low-resolution version of the commission on personal webpages as long as credit is given.

21. Clients must read the terms of service and agree to them if they want to commission the artist to produce work. The artist will not work with individuals who have not read or disagree with the terms of
service. Commissioning the artist to produce work means the Client has read and agrees with the artist’s terms of service.
These terms of service may be edited / revised at any time. [latest revision - September 3rd, 2023]
Only the current version of these terms at the time of the client’s commission will affect it, it will be attached to the invoice. Future revisions will not affect commissions created previously.
[ Regarding 3D Models ]
By default, after the commission is complete the client will receive a version of the final model that is for personal viewing only. It will be posed and will not include a rig.
For LowPoly Models Only:
For a fee, the client may request a rigged or unposed version of the model(s) that may be used within games or software. There are two versions of the fee with different permissions.
Personal Use Only Fee: 25% the final price of the commission(s). The client will be provided with an unposed version of the model they can use within games and software for personal use only. They cannot redistribute the model to others. The client may only make modifications to the model that are necessary to make it compatible with any game or software they intend to use.
Commercial Use Fee: 40% the final price of the commission(s). The client will be provided with an unposed version of the model they can include within games and software that are to be sold or redistributed. The model cannot be redistributed on its own. Clients may make minor adjustments to the geometry and textures, as well as necessary modifications for compatibility with the games or software they intend to use. If the model is included in games, software, or a mod/add-on, the artist must be credited, and if modifications to the model were made by the client, it must be made clear the model has been modified by the client.
Regarding 3D Avatars:
I do not currently have a setup to test models within avatar software, so I am unable to provide models that are compatible out-of-the-box for avatar use. If reference material is provided of the necessary bone structure needed for the avatar rig, I can make a simple rig setup, but it will need modification to be compatible with avatar software. I can provide an unrigged model if that would be preferred.
[ Regarding Character Designs ]
Clients own the character design they commissioned after the design is finalized and payment is complete. They are allowed to modify the design slightly and use the design in commercial projects.
The artist does not need to be credited every time an image of the design is shared, unless it was created by the artist. If the design is used in a commercial project, the artist must be credited for the original design.
If the character design is for a base that more characters will be derived from (example: a species of creature within a setting), the total price of the character design commission(s) will increase by 30%.
I won't accept to work on character designs for NFT / Character Adoption / Character Trading projects.
