* You MAY ask if I draw something that isn't listed and I will get back to you and update my lists here if I do or don't draw what you ask for!
* I may be more open to some topics listed under will not draw if it means I don't have to post it anywhere (i.e. I only email you the files).
1. I have every right to decline a commission for the following reasons;
- I find it offensive towards myself or a group of persons/people.
- It's otherwise against one of my policies.
- I am incapable of interpreting the requested commission.
- It doesn't follow my REFERENCE POLICY.
2. I complete commissions in the order in which I am paid (Example: Person A requests commission before Person B, but Person B pays me first). I don't waste time waiting for Person A to get back to me the next day.
3. Please allow up to 3 weeks for me to start/finish/show progress on your commission!
- If I know your commission will take longer due to any reason or an irl conflict gets in the way of me working on your commission, I will contact you.
- If I absolutely HAVE to back out of the commission, I will let you know and refund your commission (Though this has only ever happened once in my career).
- Refunds are not accepted until 3 weeks after you have paid for your commission.
- I have a life outside of the internet, I work full time and have other obligations like many of you, please understand that I may not get to your commission right away.
4. You have every right to request to see the progress of your commission!
- By default I will almost always show progress of a commission, at least the sketch, before finishing.
- I will make any revisions to the sketch that you want until you're satisfied!
- You may request to see more WIPs after the sketch upon request.
- This does NOT give you the right to heckle me every hour or every day until I respond, this will make me work on your commission slower.
5. I will make 1 revision to the final product upon request before charging extra!
- This can include a flaw I have made in the design of your character, wanting something added, taken away, etc.
- Any additional changes to the final product will be anextra charge of $2 per alteration.
6. You will receive the following:
- Full res image of your commission (either through notes or email, your choice).
- Version without my watermark for personal usage.
7. You MAY repost or share a commission you bought from me if you follow these guidelines:
- Give me credit wherever the image is reposted, or link people back to me.
- If you are reposting the art to share with others, please post the watermarked image, as the unwatermarked version is for your personal use only.
- You may NOT claim the art as your own.
8. Ask questions!!!
- If you're confused about ANYTHING, let me know and I will try my best to explain.
- If you're asking questions about what I can do with your commission, I will let you know what I'm capable of doing.
Commission Payment
1. I require payment upfront BEFORE I start your commission, that means;
- NO EXCEPTIONS.
- If you don't have the money right away, I will hold your slot for 24 hours for a payment, if you don't pay before then, and another person wants to commission me, I will hand the slot over to them.
- Excluding the reason above, I won't reserve slots for any longer than 24 hours.
2. Please state if you're paying with Points (DA currency) or money, I only accept USD, be sure to use a converter before commissioning me if you're paying with other currencies!
3. If you're paying with money, I will send an invoice through Paypal for you to pay.
4. I take DA points as payment for ONLY the following reasons;
- I can convert it to money & it's an alternate currency for commissioners who do not have paypal, and I don't want to exclude anyone out!
- My membership is running out and I need to renew it, so I will take the payment in the DONATION POOL or directly to me through the GIVE option in the upper right corner!
5. REFUNDS;
- Are only accepted after 3 weeks of the initial payment.
- Only if under the circumstances that your commission is taking way too long to complete and you want a refund, then I will refund your whole payment by Paypal.
- DA points are non-refundable.
- Are NOT accepted after the commission is completed (I will work with you to revise your commission if needed).
- I will NOT give you a refund if you have second thoughts about the commission within the first 3 weeks of trying to complete your commission.
- If you did NOT request to see the progress of your commission, and you are unhappy with the results despite giving me total freedom, you will not receive a refund (Additionally, if you commissioned me for an experimental commission, you signed up for art I don't normally offer, or is in a style I don't normally use, and as such, a refund is not available to you.)
REFERENCE POLICY
I ask that my commissioners provide me with a reference (or multiple if needed) that shows the entire design of the character so that when I draw them, accuracy is on point and I don't miss any details!
The bare MINIMUM that I need in a reference;
- Fullbody (Side view is most appreciated but 3/4 view is ok, additional views would be awsome! Depending on the commission type, a headshot may be all that is needed)
- Flat colors (So I can get your character's color scheme as accurate as possible! Cell shaded refs is ok so long as it's not fully shaded)
- Color key (If you have a shaded ref, PLEASE make sure it has a color key!!)
Other things I would love to see;
- Details (Markings, spines, accessories, etc. would be nice.)
- Multiple views (Helps me to determine how things are positioned, what angles they go, etc.)
- Close ups (Maybe you can't normally see a detail, so a close up would work just fine.)
- Expressions (Maybe your character has ears or frills, or some part of the body that changes when they're angry or sad, I would like to know so I can properly express the character's emotion through their body language.)
- Any other helpful things! (Any other views, details n such would help me draw your character, maybe your character is a different height versus another that's in the same drawing, help me get it right!)
What I WON'T take for a reference;
- Drawings with a dynamic pose (Details could be hidden, and the body could be distorted due to the angles.)
- Shaded drawings without a color key (Depending on how the shading is, I MIGHT take it, but will almost always be a no)
- Descriptions (Unless it's a design commission, NOPE)
- Halfbody drawings (Halfbody drawings don't show the entire character and doesn't help me in the least, these are acceptable for a headshot commission however.)
- Dragon maker refs (Also applies to any other "create a character" games (Dragon Maker This is the most popular one I get), it's great to use to get an IDEA of what you want in a character, but either way, it's inaccurate and you should have a ref drawn based on the dragon you made, not just use that as a ref. Although this goes for ANY creator games of the like.)
- Sketchy Refs (If the ref is super messy, has no color, etc. I will not accept it.)
- Group drawings (Give me a drawing with multiple characters in it and tell me which one to draw, and I'll say no.)
I'll make exceptions for;
- Shaded refs (Only if there's a color key, it's not heavily detailed, and it's the only thing you have.)
- Traditional refs (Only if there's a color key, and I can still see everything clearly.)
- Messy refs (Quickly done references, if they can depict enough of the character, I may accept it.)
I WILL DRAW;
1. Characters:
- Dragons, Pokemon, felines, canines, reptilians, anthros, original species, fan characters, etc.
- Partial mechanical characters (Though I'm not the greatest with metal and machinery, I will do my best).
2. Themes;
- Heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, asexual, pansexual, etc. themes.
- Mild nudity (For the sake of DeviantArt) if you commission any sexual content, it will only be posted to my FurAfffinity.
- Seasonal themes (christmas, birthdays, etc.).
- Violence, gore & fight themes (I am still ameteurish in this category, however I am still up to the task for practicing!).
- Death (So long as it's within the lore of your characters & part of a story, not for the sheer thrill of seeing your character that way.)
3. Other;
- Clothing.
- Armor.
- Mechanical body parts.
- Weapons (Still practicing).
- Some fetishes (Message me and we will discuss further).
- Anything not listed below!
I WILL NOT DRAW;
1. Characters;
- Humans, equestrians, MLP.
- Mechas & robots
2. Themes;
- Death & suicide of your character for the sheer joy of seeing them that way.
- Sexual assault & other such offensive content (This is a very sensitive subject and I'd like to avoid making someone feel uncomfortable).
3. Other;
- Most sexual fetishes (Message me and we can discuss further).
- Guns (Until I've had enough practice with them).
