When asking for a commission, please make sure that you post the following information: what you are interested in commissioning, what currency you prefer, and any visual references you have, and any other pertinent information I should know.

terms of service

A sketch of your commission will be sent to you for approval. Full payment is due upon completion of the piece, through trade.

Price may increase proportionally to the complexity of the piece or for any additional requests. Please ask if you have any questions!

Prices are subject to change. Style may vary from the given examples. I have the right to decline any request.

bust examples

lineart | 3USD, 300CSC, 35mil
flat color | 5USD, 500CSC, 60mil
detailed | 10USD, 1000CSC, 120mil

You can request any of the above for the same price,
done traditionally with Copics and digital editing (see example above).

fullbody examples

flat color | 20USD, 2000CSC, 240mil
detailed | 25USD, 2500CSC, 300mil

You can request any of the above for the same price,
done traditionally with Copics and digital editing (see example in the BUSTS section).

faq

Q: How long will it take you to finish? For busts, it should not take me any longer than a week, unless otherwise stated. For fullbodies, it shouldn't be more than two weeks, unless otherwise stated. Please be lenient with me! I'm still a full-time student, so I have real-life commitments.

Q: Why don't you accept USD?
Yes! I figured out how to send invoices through a personal PayPal account. USD is now accepted!

Q: Do you do pet overlays/animals/etc.?
I'm not skilled with drawing animals, so unfortunately I have to decline any requests of that nature.

Q: Will you do anything humanoid?
The line blurs here, but generally the answer is yes. If I decline any request despite the subject being humanoid, then I don't feel skilled enough to depict the subject to my satisfaction. I'm sorry.

Q: Will you draw a background for my piece? Sorry, no. I can do flat colors that complement the color scheme - we can discuss this - but I won't do detailed backgrounds because I don't feel skilled enough to do so to my satisfaction.

slots

Note: Up to three pieces may be commissioned per slot.

USD slots I. II. III.

CSC + sP slots I. Waijay / detailed bust II. pax / detailed bust + detailed fullbody (lineless) III.

My goodness, I love your art, especially the bust you did of Yuzuru's HA! I'm definitely interested in commissioning you but I thought I'd ask first -- was that also done using copic and edited digitally, or was that completely digital? :o

thank you so much! i really like that one too - yuzuru's ha portrait was done all digitally, but unlike the other digital portraits i did this one with no lineart. i just sketched it out and didn't feel like meticulously lining the sketch, given all the details, etc.

sure thing! what are you most interested in? do you have visual references that you can link me?

[font=geneva] Thank you! I have an avatar I made of her and a version with lighter skin. I'll try to describe her garb to the best of my ability. hood adorns her head, allowing a faint view of her face A brown cloth wrap clipped with a feathered fur ball covers her shoulders and hangs loosely over her small chest. Light leather colored olive covers her stomach and is half tucked into brown leggings. A light brown strip of leather fashioned into a belt covers her waist with a small pouch hanging to the side used for potions and herbs. A black leather strap with a dagger wraps around her left thigh, always ready to cut a bitch. Dark brown boots over ankle height with fur wrapped around the top have the leggings tucking into them, dirt crusting the bottom and side of the soles from stomping out her haters. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.[/font]

thank you so much for the references and the detailed description! i can tell you've put a lot of thought into your character (is it for D&D? i have a half-elf rogue for my current campaign) and i'll do my best to reflect that consideration in my artwork.

just to confirm things, i'll send you a sketch of the work in progress piece within the next few days in return for half the payment in CSC as a security measure. we can discuss semantics through smail (i.e. if you want something changed, or a different expression, or some of the colors aren't right).

[font=geneva] It is for D&D! I created her years ago and have been adventuring with her for over a year and a half now. Love my little drow sorcerer. Works for me! Take you time. :) [/font]

Thank you very much for your response! :) Are you open to doing that kind of commission? I am okay with detailed copics, if not.

i'm open to both! i usually just work based off of customer preference ^o^ i'm assuming that you'd prefer the digital style for a detailed bust? i'll replicate my process that i did for yuzuru's HA.

do you have any visual references? and thank you!

Yes, I'd like a digital detailed bust (and a fullbody without lineart, if possible.) Is it okay if I send the references via PM instead? :)

Sorry for the late reply, I still have half a month of final exams left djhfjdhs

Thank you very much, I'll need it! There are a few subjects with very brutal finals, we were told, so I really have to up my studying ante. I used to be the opposite during exams, I wouldn't eat until I'm done. But since last year I started to become a stress eater LOL

I'll send you a PM shortly. :)

yeah i gotchu!! xd the torso was a bit big but i meant for the jacket to follow the motion of his arm, like a stiff suit blazer. i totally see where youre coming from though! do you want me to make his shoulders narrower? im on my mobile phone right now, so i cant make the changes you requested right away.

you can totally request for the final piece to be lineless! also i hope you feel better now ouo

I looked back at the old sketch, and I decided I really didn't like it, based off of your feedback as well as my own opinion. So I redid it, tailoring it (hopefully) more to your satisfaction! Once again, please let me know if anything should be changed to your liking, and I'll happily do so! :D

after you approve the sketch, and whenever you're ready to make the first installment, the trade lot is
