Simple, plain-language terms for anyone commissioning custom art โ please read before booking a slot.
I'm a digital artist specializing in cute character-style designs. I take on a wide range of commissions, including:
Pretty much any commission that fits the list above, in any style โ big or small, simple or detailed.
NSFW / explicit content of any kind. This is a strict, no-exceptions policy.
Want to see examples first? Check out my portfolio:
โ View my portfolioThere's no fixed price list โ my prices depend on what you need and how complex the work is. Every project gets a fair quote based on its own scope.
How it works: before we talk numbers, I'll ask you a few basic questions about what you're looking for (type of piece, style, references, etc.). Once I understand the scope, I'll send you a price.
To lock in your commission slot, an upfront deposit is required before work begins:
Whichever is greater of:
The remaining balance is due once you receive your first draft, or once you've received your own payment โ whichever applies to your situation. If your circumstances don't fit either case, just message me and we'll figure out a fair arrangement together.
Revisions are unlimited while a piece is in progress โ but once you approve a stage (sketch, lineart, colors, etc.), that stage is locked in. Going back to redo an already-approved stage counts as new work rather than a free revision.
If work hasn't started yet, your deposit can be refunded if you need to cancel.
Once I've been approved to start and have begun working, the deposit is non-refundable.
Every cancellation is a little different, so if something comes up, message me and we'll sort out what's fair for the situation.
Once your piece is delivered, you're free to use it for both personal and commercial purposes (merch, branding, etc.) at no extra charge.
In return, I'd like to be able to share the finished piece (and work-in-progress shots) on my portfolio and socials โ I'll always ask your permission first before posting anything.
I don't drop clients from the queue for going quiet โ I'll always wait for a response, however long it takes, no deadline attached.
Need your piece sooner than your place in the queue allows? A rush fee (flat or percentage, depending on scope) can move you up.
Once a price is quoted, it's locked in โ it won't change unless you add extra scope (more characters, extra detail, etc.), in which case the price adjusts to match.
My work is created by hand. AI tools are used only rarely, as a small part of my own process โ never to generate the final artwork. If you'd prefer I don't use any AI assistance on your piece at all, just let me know and I won't.
I reserve the right to turn down a commission that goes against my policies (for example, NSFW requests). If I decline, your deposit is refunded in full.
If anything here is unclear, or your situation doesn't quite fit these terms, just reach out before booking โ I'm happy to talk it through.
