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!

⚙️ ⋮ General Terms of Service
🡦 You must be 18+ in order to do business with me. I use Paypal and Paypal requires you are 18+ to have an account. I don't feel comfortable doing business with minors. If this is found broken, I will blacklist and refuse future service to you.🡦 I retain the right to refuse any commission without giving a reason as to why. If I am comfortable enough to inform you, I will.🡦 I do work on personal work inbetween commissions, please don't assume I'm not working on yours. I work on both at the same time to keep my motivation going.🡦 Please do keep in mind that I may adjust colors if needed. If something uses pure white or pure black, I will change those colors since I avoid using them when I shade/light stuff. If a color is too saturated, it may be toned down. 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. If an NDA is dicussed or due to a debut, I will not post. Please discuss this beforehand so no accidents happen.
📖 ⋮ 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 and periodically reach out to communicate with you.🡭 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.

I have zero interest in either, and will refuse a commission if you have a history of AI or NFT usage.
📖 ⋮ 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.🡭 I am happy to provide addtional designs zoom ups for free. I tend to do these anyways to have a better reading of the design, which unless we discussed there is no need to pay for these, take it as a gift!

Please feel free to contact me and discuss this with me.🡦 I understand stuff happens with a character you wish to reflect. For a small fee I may be willing to do bigger edits. Especially the case for scars since I enjoy drawing them so much, I might do them for free!🡦 I am happy to consider doing outfits for a custom design for a cheaper fee once a body is made. Feel free to reach out and discuss this with me! Sometimes the price for an outfit can be lower than standard due to this!🡦 I may provide a discount if I previously designed a character for any future updates if you are ordering a new outfit, a very different look etc. This isn't always, and please do not ask about this!
