Disclaimer: I am not your friend. You are commissioning me for a service.

IF YOU FIND THE HIDDEN MESSAGE, YOU WILL GET 5% OFF A FUTURE, REGULAR PRICED COMMISSION. THESE DO NOT COUNT FOR SALES OR YCHS.✧Rules and Terms✧⭐ DO NOT TELL ME TO HAVE "ARTISTIC FREEDOM" WITH YOU COMMISSION AT ALL IF YOU ARE PARTICULAR ABOUT YOUR COMMISSION. ARTISTIC FREEDOM IS AS IT SOUNDS. IT DOES NOT GIVE YOU ROOM TO BE CONSISTENTLY NITPICKY. I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH "ARTISTIC FREEDOM" IN THE PAST. SO IF YOU TELL ME TO DO THAT, CHANCES ARE YOUR IDEA WILL BE REJECTED.⭐I WILL STATE THIS ONCE AND ONLY ONCE. FOR CLOTHING PATTERNS AND ADDITIONAL DETAILS, LIKE JEWELRY AND PATTERNS, YOU WILL BE CHARGED EXTRA. IF YOU ARE UNSURE IF IT IS A COMPLICATED PATTERN JUST ASK.⭐Consistent changes, to your idea, will either prompt a full or partial refund depending on how much has been done⭐ Clients inquiring about a commission should and will acknowledge that the client will be receiving an illustration in the Artist’s brand/style. I have the right to refuse the commission. Refer to my Do’s and Don’ts on my commission sheet for further info.⭐I DO NOT ALLOW COLOR UPGRADES AT THIS TIME.⭐In terms of sales.

I am not a store.⭐Approved commissions where information or payments are not made/given within the day of invoice will be forfeit(24 hours).⭐If pose references aren’t provided and I sketch out a pose and it’s not to your liking, I will implement extra charges due to not giving references, or you will be refunded.⭐PLEASE HAVE REF SHEES THAT ARE FLAT COLORED, IF THEY ARE SHADED I WILL POSSIBLY DECLINE THE COMMISSION. Clients with clear and concise references (Character/Poses/Backgrounds) will be prioritized over those without them. Please state if you want particular details in the commission (ex. Detailed imprints, tight bulges, etc.) when you inquire about a commission.⭐If a client wants their requested commission to be worked on privately or left anonymous when posted, the client must state this in the beginning or the heading of their commission info.⭐ PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO THIS. Prices of base commissions will NOT be tolerated or negotiated. Payment plans are a valid option if full payment isn’t available to the client at time of requesting.

[THIS IS NOT A REF SHEET]. Depending on complexity these prices start at $50.⭐The commission will only begin once payment is received via Paypal invoice.Please do not commission the artist if you are unprepared to pay full cost. All prices are expressed in USD, and payments are expected to be made as such. The client is responsible for sending the correct amount, equal to the listed U.S. dollar amount.
If you have any questions or concerns about the TOS above, do not hesitate to ask!
❌ I don't do small talk. Asking me "How are you doing?" Will always be the same response as my life is uneventful and I'm a mostly private person. I've also just had people just ask me then ask for commission progress. I would just you rather ask for commission progress.✅ If you are coming to ask for a commission update please phrase it like this or similar: "Hey, I was just wondering if there are any updates on my commission(s)." However, please do not get pester-y or I will promptly refund.❌ Please don't come at me sideways, or abruptly. I am human just like you, and I can get busy with IRL obligations.❌ I am not comfortable with talking about my kinks/fetishes with strangers all the time. I also don't roleplay, so please don't❌ Do NOT send little emojis to communicate with me. Emojis such as (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.). I will not respond. Please phrase it as a sentence.❌Please refrain from saying "I don't want to put pressure on you". That actually puts pressure on me and stresses me out. I read things much more differently than most as a neurotypical individual.
READ THIS THOROUGHLY OR YOUR COMMISSION WILL BE REFUSED
⭐Communication IS A MUST. If I send you updates and finish your comm and I don't receive a response, within 48 hours, I will consider your commission fully finished.⭐ Commissions are not first come first serve. The artist will only accept commissions they are able and willing to take on at the moment. Be sure to make inquiries as specific and detailed as possible. (More References + Simplicity = Shorter Wait time)⭐ Wait times will vary considering the complexity and difficulty of the commission request. Average turnaround estimate is between 72 to 120 hours (3 to 5 business days). This can vary based on interest.⭐Comics, will take longer than a week and a half. Comics can take as long as 5 months or more, depending on complexity and commission interest. Slots for comics will always be limited. If sketches have been started, and you want a refund, you can only get a partial refund for comics.

Q. Can I use your OCs/sona's on comms?

A: No, and you may not use my OCs for RP purposes either.Q: Do you do art trades/requests?
A: For only my closest friends. Please don't try to befriend me for free art. You will be blocked. Same goes for requests. I don't do either for people I don't know.Q: Do you do payment plans?
A: Yes, I do. However, rough sketches won't be started until it's paid in half, and you'll only get half. Comic commissions, that are paid in half, half of the comic commission will be sketched out.
