  • The sketch will be sent after the first half of the payment. After the sketch is approved I'll ask for the second half of payment. After I receive the second half of payment, I will begin the process of finishing the illustration.

  • Commissioner can request WIP at any part of the process.

  • Rush commissions will have a 2x charge.

  • Small changes like color adjustments / adding small details (or fixing minor mistakes) can be done for free for the first two revisions. After that, commissions will have a 0.5x extra charge.

  • Any large changes (e.g., clothing changes, pose, setting) will be charged a 0.5x extra. Please have a detailed description of what you want before we start.

  • Large and resized versions of the artwork are sent after completion.

  • Should the commissioner wishes to post it publicly, credit must be given to the artist.

  • Original files (for example: painttool sai / illustrator) are included for commercial commissions only.

  • Non-commercial use commissions may not be resold and at no point may a commissioner claim to have made it themselves.

  • Private artwork for your eyes only will cost an extra 1x.

  • The purchase is for digital and traditional artwork.

  • Please refer to my shops on Deviantart, RedBubble, and Society6 for prints.

  • Commissions may be used in my social medias with the commissioner’s permission.

How to order

Message me on any social media platform you have me on or through email using my commission form or character design form. I will respond within 3 days to say whether or not I'll accept the commission. I have school and life outside of art, so please be patient.Accepting the commission does not mean I'll immediately start working on it. It means I will write up and send the invoice within the week.If I do not open it past the 3 days, please assume I am not interested, or I got too preoccupied with current work.If you need it sooner, there is a Rush Order fee. I start rush orders within 1 day of accepting the commission. So please preface your message or write in the subject of the email as "RUSH ORDER".Late responses will delay your commissions REGARDLESS If it's a Rush Order or not.


Methods of Payment

All of my prices are set as USD. Use a converter if you are unsure about the price in your currency.
I only accept payment through Ko-Fi, PayPal, and Venmo. Please inquire me if you plan on paying with Deviantart points.

  • If you are paying through Ko-Fi or PayPal, I'll send you an invoice.

  • If you're paying through Venmo, I'll send a money request and an invoice.
