Commission Prices

NOTE: The options and prices listed below are NOT everything I have to offer, as I am capable of a variety of different styles that can be requested. Each quote is customized with commissioner inquiry, and what is listed below are prices for my most commonly requested things.

Coloured Sketch

Bust: $30
Full body: $60

Semi-clean lineart, colored in. Can be shaded for additional 50% charge.
Backgrounds are by default transparent, but a flat/gradient/pattern can be added at request free of charge, and simple scenes are $10 extra.

Simple Render

Stylized detailing (Personally, these are my favorites to do!)
Very detailed backgrounds will accrue an additional charge (35-100 USD. Varies widely!)

Headshot: $85
Bust Shot: $150
Fullbody: $250

Detailed Portrait

Every single bit of scales, fur, or feathers fully detailed out.
I only offer these as portraits with simple patterns or colors as backgrounds for the sake of my own sanity.

Bust Shot: $200
Full Body: $350

Terms of service

Please read before commissioning.
This information is subject to change at any time.
By commissioning me, you agree to all of the following conditions:

General information:

-> Prices fluctuate based on character complexity. I will give you a custom quote if this is necessary, and upcharges are negotiable to a degree.

-> Progress will be provided as I see fit, although the customer can request an update at any time, so long as it is not excessive.

-> Please do not repost the unwatermarked version of the artwork unless I am explicitly credited otherwise.

-> Please do not repost my art on any monetized platform (i.e Patreon) UNLESS EXPLICIT PERMISSION IS GIVEN. I'll most likely say yes, please ask first.

-> Major edits after the sketch stage may require an additional fee to be added.

-> I do NOT accept payment in the form of crypto or pseudo-currency, nor will I ever work with anything related to AI or NFT.

Client Rights:

-> The client may request to be kept anonymous, to delay posting until a certain date, or to keep the commission private.

-> The artwork can be manufactured into physical items (prints, keychains, etc) for personal use only. The client MUST pay for the manufacturing and shipping costs.

-> If the client commissions me with the intention to sell the design on merchandise, they must let me know ahead of time and have my explicit permission to do so. We will likely negotiate a contract to share the profit made.

-> The client is allowed to re-post the art with proper credit given, either by showing the watermark or providing a link back to one of my social profiles in the description.

Artist Rights:

-> I reserve the right to refuse a client/commission.

-> I have the right to use the artwork as examples in portfolios if the client does not request the commission to be private.

-> If the artwork is used for monetary purposes without my knowledge and permission, I have the right to request it be taken down.

-> If certain details are not specified by the customer (ex. Background pattern) I will assume artistic freedom.

-> I reserve the right to request reposted art to be taken down if uncredited.
I will NOT draw:
- Derogatory or hateful themes
- Heavy violence/gore, although minor amounts are acceptable
- Sexual/fetish content of any kind
- Heavily detailed machinery
- Photographic-styled realism
- Political topics
For something not listed above, please contact me for specification!

Payment:

-> Payment is sent via Ko-fi, Venmo, or Cashapp. I have a Paypal but prefer not to use it due to an account comprise that happened to me, and do not trust the site as a result.

-> Payment is sent AFTER the initial sketch is approved.

-> Please do not send payment before I request it, with the only exception being sketches, colored sketches, or projects where artistic freedom is granted.

-> Commission progress will continue once the payment goes through.
Rough Sketch > Customer Approval > Payment > Completion

Refunds:

-> Refunds will be given depending on the progress of the commission.

-> Cancellation during the sketch/cleanup/early inking stage will have a full refund. Any stages beyond that will be given only partial refunds.

-> Refunds will not be provided once the commission is complete, or close to complete.

Design Purchases:

-> After purchase, the commissioner reserves all rights to the design.

-> Posting any art of the character done by me must be credited accordingly.

-> I do not have to be credited with art of the character that does not belong to me, although I do enjoy updates on how it is being used.

-> If designs are used in commercial works, I MUST be informed and terms of usage discussed.

Copyright:

-> If copyright issues arise after the commission is completed, it is the commissioner's responsibility to resolve said issue.

-> I will assume that the commissioner either owns the character or has permission to use the character.
