⟡ About ⟡

I'm an agender artist based in FL, with a love for creatures and fantasy.
I'm passionate for the human imagination in all areas of art (music, literature, videogames, etc.) and intensely inspired by my peers and communities.Freelance artwork is my second full-time job, and one of my favorite hobbies! I dabble in digital and traditional mediums, mostly working in character illustration and pixel art. I'm building my skills in character design and animation, in hopes of offering them as consistent options in commissions. In my spare time, I develop characters and headworlds with my beloved partner.Interests : animals (especially mustelids and canids), anthropomorphic characters, creature design & speculative biology, horror media, indie games, dark fantasy, medieval themes

In the past, I have exhibited at conventions in my state, aspiring to vend at more eventually.I'm also interested in developing and selling physical merchandise in the future.I am currently not open for commercial work.

⟡ Terms of Service ⟡

Contact and Inquiry
♦ The best way to contact me is as described in the commission post on Twitter, or via email ([email protected]).
♦ I generally do not accept correspondence via Discord unless I have repeated business and trust built with a customer.

Prices & Payment
♦ Payment is to be made in full upfront, unless the order costs more than $400 USD. For orders larger than that, I am willing to work out a payment plan with the commissioner. A down payment of at least $200 must still be made upfront before I begin working. The payment plan should not be less than $150 per month after this.
♦ All payment is conducted via Paypal invoice or link, or at your or my discretion I can also use Square. You can make payments with most credit or debit cards via Paypal.
♦ Regarding e-check payments: I reserve the right not to start a commission until after an e-check has cleared. This usually takes 1-2 weeks. Please keep this in consideration when requesting a deadline.
♦ Regarding price ranges: Prices for the majority characters won't cost any more than the lowest price listed. Some things that may bump the price up, however, include incredibly complex mechanical or patterned designs.

Cancellation & Refunds
♦ Once payment has been sent, I do not accept cancellations.
♦ I ask that if you need to cancel before sending information or payment, you let me know as soon as possible. Dropping communication instead of formally cancelling disrupts financial and time planning for me and is disrespectful. Please keep in mind that before money changes hands, there is no obligation— I won’t hold cancellation against you or take it personally, as long as you communicate!
♦ I reserve the right to cancel the commission and issue a refund equivalent to the amount of work not done— due to harassment, improper conduct or poor communication.
♦ Poor communication includes not sending information within a few days of claiming a slot (it’s best if you can get back to me within 24 hours or let me know if you anticipate barriers to this), not sending payment when agreed upon, and being generally unreachable/unresponsive in such cases. I’m pretty flexible and will probably issue reminders because life happens and things come up, but I reserve the right to blacklist the commissioner if this is a recurring issue.
♦ If I need to cancel the commission due to events in my own life, a refund will be issued.

Process
♦ I reserve the right to interpret your character in my own style. This includes things like adjusting markings to better fit the shape language I use. In no case will I change things so much that the character is unrecognizable, and I aim to keep specifics like a certain number of spots or stripes the same. I will do my best to capture certain character nuances that I notice but know that certain things do change in translation between styles. If you’re very specific about certain proportions please carefully consider whether I’m the artist for you or consider paying for a sketch approval phase.
♦ Unless the customer specifies wanting to be surprised, I always send over a sketch for approval at no extra charge. I accept one complete redo in sketch phase, and one round of minor edits after that. Following this, I will complete the piece in full. After it's rendered, I'll take one round of small changes to the colouring to cover anything I might have missed! Changes beyond these are not available except for an additional charge.
♦ I accept changes based on things that I have forgotten or missed, like markings or horns or accessories. This comes at no extra fee as long as that information was included in the original reference sheet or description. Once the artwork is finished, I do not accept expression or pose changes except at an extra fee, depending on how much needs to be changed.
♦ I plan to occasionally stream commissions in the future, but am unable to guarantee when I will be able to stream or whether I will be available to stream your commission at all. If you’d like me to alert you when and if I do begin streaming your commission, let me know in advance and I’ll be sure to do so, but I’m unable to make promises or set specific appointments at this time.
♦ I offer full resolutions to the customer. If edited versions of the finished image are desired beyond what was already specified for the commission, I am happy to offer such edits at a convenience fee. This can include graphic/patterned background or filters, layout changes (for sketchpages), etc.

Turnaround
♦ I typically accept work in batches, and finish in the order I accept them.
♦ Depending upon my schedule, health, workload and the complexity of the commission, turnaround may range from a few hours to a few weeks. In the event that I’m unable to finish your commission within two months, I will DM or email you an update containing the progress I have made and/or a timeframe I project to be able to finish your commission within. More frequent inquiries as to the status of your commission are also welcome, within reason. Feel free to check in after a week, if you’d like!
♦ If you need a picture finished by a certain date, please specify that you need it done by a certain deadline. It is best to request a deadline at least two weeks in advance, I can generally accommodate this but more time is always better, especially if the commission is a large one. I may accept rush orders for a turnaround of one week or less, but this is entirely at my own discretion and such orders may be subject to a surcharge.
♦ While I strive for professionalism, the reality is that I am one human individual doing art as a second full-time job with unmedicated ADHD. I do my best to keep up with correspondence and stay organized, but the benefit of the doubt is appreciated if artwork or replies take longer than expected. I will get you your work, and my intentions are never any less than that. Feel free to nudge me again if it’s been about a week or two since you’ve heard back.
♦ As part of maintaining a happy and healthy balance as an artist, I work on personal artwork between queue items. I assure that my activity on social media is never a neglect to my queue.

Rights & Distribution
♦ My art is never to be used in NFTs or AI programs.
♦ The prices described here are for personal commissions and as such, I the artist retain all copyright. Feel free to make icons or a personal print, but you may not use them for your own profit. This includes selling prints and merchandise with the artwork.
♦ You may post any art made for you to your page, crop it for an icon, and show it off wherever you like— I don’t mind at all, but please provide credit! Do not tamper or remove my watermark where it is present.
♦ I reserve all rights to the artwork, including rights of distribution. If you want the artwork kept private indefinitely, I will do that for an additional charge of $40, or 10% of the commission price, whichever is higher. This fee does not apply to commissions kept private only for a set amount of time, such as holiday or birthday gifts.
♦ If you wish to purchase all or certain rights to the piece, please contact me for pricing. Just FYI, these rates will be industry rates and as such usually significantly higher, depending on what the rights in question are.
