some shit to know before you follow

my fandoms, ships, stuff i rt, etc
before you follow
my social media are always like 95% positivity and discourse free; i might snark from time to time if something is really dumb, tho 💅 and like anyone, i get sad or upset sometimes. i'll do my best to stay in that 95% tho!i'm really not into labels but if you need a hint where i stand, i am anti-harassment; ALWAYS live and let live, ship and let ship, your kink is not my kink etc. i'm a soft vanilla bitch and i have tons of NOTPs and squicks like anyone, but you won't ever hear about them from me, because i know how to use the tools the websites give me 💃 if you are an anti shipper, or feel entitled to boss ppl around over fiction they create, feel free to block me without talking to me. 👋
IF I BLOCKED YOU
99.9% of the time, me blocking you wasn’t a mistake lol. i mute for minor annoyance stuff. i block when you’re being a fuckin asshole.reasons i block:
- you’re an anti, meaning you are loud about ships/fiction you hate and harass other ppl over it -- 'anti' doesn't stand for 'anti-pedo' btw, cos that's just default human decency lol. sry but u ain't special or unique 😂
- you’re a proshipper, but you’ve posted pretty aggressive hate over fictional interests anyway
- saw you being actively uncool [ie racist, homophobic, bullying, etc]
- you shat on other ppls opinions/headcanons when you literally could have just ate your own food
- you vague post a lot and it's annoying lol
- you traced/copied my art and didn’t cite your reference - totally fine to reference me, unless you profit off it or don't credit me.
- saw you join in on talking shit about ppl in the AR zine when you weren't there to see what actually went down 🙄 this includes fallout in the fuckin 3+ years since it happened -- genuinely cannot believe ppl are still spreading lies about it without ever having spoken to anyone involved in the project, which was a massive success and everyone got paid a ton lol. feel free to reach out if you finally want to talk about it though.if you think i hit you by accident, feel free to contact me elsewhere! that .1% there is valid, after all lol.

[february 2022 price update: rolled 'painty detail' addon into the base price for full colour, since ppl seem to expect this anyway lol]
[september 2023 price update: raised full body's full colour price because i need to stop underselling :'D]
[STARTING PRICES]
PORTRAIT - $30 flats / $60 full colour
HALF BODY - $50 flats / $80 full colour
FULL BODY - $90 flats / $180 full color
- add chara: half of single price
- add BG: $10 simple / $30+ complexCHIBIS - 30$

- can do chonky or lanky chibi, whichever you prefer~
- + add prismatic effect: +$10 eachCHARACTER SHEETS/SKETCH PAGES - $300+
- default style is flat colour

- baseline character sheet includes a front and back view, a portrait, and a chibi
- you may swap out the chibi and/or the portrait with a reasonable substitute (more detailed attire, two chibis, two busts, some quick sketches, etc) if you wish, but the price maybe change from the baseline.
i am still trying to sort out pricing on these and also to just work up the courage to do them, sorry gfjghdj
[STYLE/PRICE NOTES]
- listed prices are for single character. add half solo chara price per additional character
- listed prices are the starting price. complex details may be subject to additional costs.
- listed price doesn't include paypal fees. i will add this in the 'other amount' when i invoice you. it's usually only a few dollars and i plan to always round down to the nearest half dollar, but i apologize for the inconvenience either way 😅
- i may update my pricing in future batches depending on the time it takes me to work on stuff, so pls check back each time i open commissions. it's been like 8 years since i did digital commissions, so this is a learning experience for me lol. [pls note: being on the waiting list does not grandfather you in. the waiting list is over a year long, so it's unfortunately not feasible for me to allow this.]
- flat colour includes skin blush (because i need that for me), and also occasionally gradients, added at my discretion.
- prismatic effect for chibis goes on hair typically, but may be applied sparingly elsewhere as well. please note: prismatic addon for second character in a couple commission will not be halved! i hand paint this effect so it's pretty time consuming lol
- regarding backgrounds: simple bg is stuff like blurry shapes/objects that suggest a location. complex would include objects or actual background that i have to render… personally i prefer nature backgrounds, like skies and trees, over stuff like buildings and furniture... pls don't make me draw furniture lmao 😭
- if there’s another style not listed that you would really like me to use (traditional sketches w/ or w/o photoshop shading, b/w instead of colour, only lineart, etc,) feel free to ask me, we can probably work something out.
terms & conditions
- my work will be for PERSONAL USE ONLY. you may not reproduce my work for monetary gain.
- likewise, you MAY NOT use my work for NFTs or to train AI. this is non-negotiable.
- you may share your commissioned piece on social media with linked credit. check the main page for my socials.
- i retain the right to use the artwork for promotional purposes (ex: in my portfolio, as example for future commissions, etc).
- in some cases, i may use the commissioned piece for monetary gain (ex: if it is fanart or something i heavily designed for you, i may want to make prints of it, or use it for other similar purposes. but i would not do this with artwork of your original content or characters, unless you offered explicit permission for me to do so. it's not super likely i would even ask to do this with OC, though.)
- payment is due in full before I will begin work on your piece, but you will not be asked to pay until you come to the top of the commission queue. this is just to ensure you are not left waiting so long between payment and completion on the artwork... it’s more for my peace of mind than it is for you :’D if by the time i reach you in queue, you are no longer unable to pay, i will move you down the queue and reach out again later. (alternately you are free to reach out yourself and i can move you to the front again)
- you will receive wips as i work. minor revisions during the sketch process are free, but major revisions (big change of pose, change of outfit, or basically anything that means a lot of erasing 😂) beyond the sketch stage will be subject to an additional cost. please try to be clear during the sketch stage. a reasonable set of minor tweaks will be provided for free.
- if, after i finish your piece, you decide you want to upgrade [add bg, extra detail/lighting etc] we can do so, assuming it's doable; i will send a second invoice for the additional charges.
- regarding refunds! refunds are available with within certain situations. full refund if i haven't started your piece yet (even if we've been talking details and gathering refs together for a few days; it's ok). partial refund if you need to cancel midway for any reason (up to flat colour stage). no refund if i have finished your piece. if you're not happy with anything along the way, please voice the issue and we'll see if tweaks can easily be made to fix it, either for free or at an additional cost (refer to wips/revisions above).
guidelines
please have references available for your character! very important!! even if these are OCs you have not had drawn before! the refs don’t have to be exact or complete -- you can link various things for separate parts of the character. [ex: you want the hair of character (you link to example image) but in such and such colour, want this outfit (example image) but with this belt (example image), etc etc etc]. just anything to get your point across more clearly :D also giving me a lil info about the chara so i can get a feel for the personality… i don’t wanna draw the character soft and sweet when they’re actually an axe murderer, for example :’Dwhat i will draw:
- original characters or fanart/fancharas; for fanart, i will draw most ships, even my notps. just ask, i'll let you know if it's out of my comfort zone :)
- couples [feel free to inquire for more than 2-3 charas, but i may decline]
- nudity and/or suggestive stuff. feel free to pitch your dirty ideas :'D i’ll let you know if i’m comfortable with it. [but if it’s really explicit, i may decline, or the price might have to go up. :P]
- anthro/furry [preferably more toward the humanoid end tho lol]what i won’t draw:
- super explicit gore or super kinky/unusual smut. nothing crazy, y’all. [light macabre is ok,some kink is ok. as always, i will let you know lol]
- mechs or mechanical stuff... pls no.
- super detailed backgrounds. again...pls no.
