Complex characters tend to be characters that have layers, many designs/patterns and overall will take time to draw and make sure it's correct. Non-complex characters tend to be simiplier to draw, and take less time when drawing.Always make sure to provide clear references of the character or design in order for me to evaluate. It's hard to evaluate a design if it's only a headshot or limited to some degree.I'm stating this due to some questions: Characters/Designs that are POC are NOT considered complicated. I have brushes and will go out of my way to ensure I have done the design properly. Talk to me if you have any questions, I am open to discussions!If a design has several seperate patterns I'll need to design/make for you, it may be deemed complex!

You may not make any profit off of the commission, which includes but is not limited to promotion, videos, games, digital prints, physical items, etc. If you intend to make a physical product for yourself and NOT produced for others, that does not invovle a commerical fee.🡭 Commerical Fees for Indie Vtubers will be different for those that are not indie. Each discussion will be handled case by case. I do not have an overall set commerical fee!🡭 Commercial licenses for commissions can be discussed with me and will be handled separately from regular commissions.

If you do not like this, do not commission me.🡦 Please do keep in mind that I may adjust colors if needed.

Final colors may appear different from work in progresses as well due to lighting, shading, and filters.🡦 I reserve the right to post your commissioned artwork to my social media and websites, unless discussed otherwise.

📖 ⋮ Process Guide
🡦 When reaching out to me, be preapred to have a conversation on your request. I always have tons of questions to try and gauge what the client is looking for.🡦 Having references, moodboard, pose ideas, a stick drawing etc. will be super handy and super helpful in the conversation. There MUST be at least one clear DIGITAL reference for me to use for the commission.🡦 After we have discussed the details of the commission, I will give a price and ask for the email associated with your paypal. Once the invoice is paid (discuss it with me if it goes over 24 hrs), I will begin sketching.🡦 Sketches can take up to 3 weeks to receive depending on the commission request! I always try to have them within 2, but sometimes they may take 3!🡦 I will provide several work in progress shots. You may request revisions within those stages, but I will not do free revisions later in another stage.🡦 I allow unlimited revisions (in accordance with each step) within reason. If I feel as if a client is purposefully abusing this, I will begin to charge extra for any further revisions requested.🡦 I rather you be happy with the commission you paid for, so I very much encourge revisions or edits! Please don't be afraid to ask.🡦 I'm happy to provide files that are unwatermarked, no text, filterless, etc. upon request. Otherwise, you will receive a watermarked verison.
🕡 ⋮ Turnaround Time
🡭 I am very open to communicating my time with you. I do not have a set work schedule. I TRY to work Mon-Fri but due to a lot of outside forces, this may not be the case everytime.🡭 If something comes up, I will do my best to let you know if I'm taking a break or if I'm going to be working slower. I commonly update my status on Discord if something is coming up before I have time to message clients.🡭 For an overall turnaround time is 4-6 months depending on the request. Sometimes stuff may happen that extends this, which in that case I will try and keep you updated on everything.🡭 I understand situations happen. I will only send follow up messages a week after my last message, 2 weeks, and then a month. After a month if no contact is made I will place the commission on pause.🡭 Delayed responses to my questions/wips will cause me to extend the original delivery date. This rule is not to put pressure on you, it's to ensure I have the right amount of time to work on a commission.
💰 ⋮ Refunds
🡭 You may cancel your commission prior to payment without repercussions.🡭 I will not provide a refund with completed work. You are given many many opportunities to request changes throughout the commission.🡭 If a refund is requested after I've begun, I retain the right to refuse your refund. You forfite the right to the commission. All files will remain mine unless discussed.🡭 I will refund a certain percentage based on how much work I have done. Meaning, if I've begun the commission you will not receive a full refund.🡭 If I decide to issue the refund, I will contact you to discuss about a refund/compensation.

📖 ⋮ Process Guide:
🡭 All design commissions will require some sort of moodboard, reference board, pintrest board, etc. for me to begin. I will not work off of a written description only. If you are unable to find references, I will happily try to with your input and help.🡭 Do NOT bring me someone else's character(s) with the intent of asking me to repurpose them for you. There's a difference to providing the image as a reference for a design aspect you enjoy, to providing the image wanting the character directly just changed for you.🡭 Design Commissions all take longer than standard commissions. Sometimes there may be more sketches than normal, which I'm okay doing. If it seems like this is being abused, I will begin to charge for revisions. After the 2nd new sketch, we may need to rediscuss the commission to see eye-to-eye.🡭 Once sketches are approved, I will do a rough idea of the colors for those to be approved. Providing exact colors you want would make this part easier and quicker!🡭 After sketches and approval of colors, I will start lining the piece. Details will be more obvious here. If any detail may need a seperate drawing on the reference, I will provide it.🡭 There is extra charges when it comes to custom tattoos, bags, jelwery etc. If something is simple enough, I may not charge extra for it.🡭 Tattoos that are deemed custom will come on a 1000 x 1000 canvas. This is the same for custom symbols. Depending on the complexity of these, there may be an upcharge.
