Please check out the examples of my work in my linked portfolio and keep requests within the general wheelhouse of what I make. As an example, I don't tend to do intense action scenes, so if you request one I will likely decline as I don't think I could do your vision justice.

All chibis will have transparent backgrounds. A standard chibi request can include simple props like weapons, magic effects, and familiars at no additional cost. If you want a full illustration in my chibi style, that would be a special request with custom pricing.

Half-Body and Full-Body illustrations will be on a simple background, either transparent or solid color. As with chibis, the price includes simple props like weapons, magic effects, familiars, floral framing, etc. at no additional cost.

I don't really do sketch commissions: everything will include coloring and basic shading. Dynamic lighting requests must be as full illustrations only.

Pet requests are like Full Body illustrations but your best pal instead of a human-ish character!

If you select to Trust the Chef you will receive a discount in exchange for letting me do my thing with your general vibe/pose preference and references. This option means no sketch approval and all requests will be treated as suggestions: I'm just gonna go for it. You may request minor revisions for the final piece that are in the "my bad" territory, such as if I draw a piece of jewelry with a moon instead of a flower or I get the color of their hair totally wrong. Otherwise, no changes. Make sure your references are very clear - I can't be held responsible for viewing a 140p YouTube video wrong.

Every commission is different, therefore I can't guarantee any timelines or SLAs. Expect the entire process after your commission has started to take a minimum of 4 weeks. The likelihood of me opening commissions when I don't think I have time is pretty slim, but you never know what might crop up after the fact.

If you have a hard deadline, please communicate this in the initial request and I will let you know if I can accommodate it. Deadline requests after reserving a spot or after work has begun will not be honored. Expedition simply moves you to the top of the priority list - it is not a deadline guarantee.

Please send me some kind of visual reference and any relevant notes, such as a character's backstory, their personality, or the main style factors of the subject. I cannot design a character for you or work from written description only.

Describe the general pose/vibe/composition you're looking for or send references you'd like something similar to. I can't copy their style or composition, but I can try to match the mood.

If a full illustration, I will send you 2-3 very simple thumbnails. Pick one to approve; I will then produce a sketch and block in base colors and general lighting. Any major revisions must be noted at this point. All revision notes must be sent together in a single communication.

For other works, I will move directly to the slightly more detailed sketch phase. Any major revisions must be noted at this point. All revision notes must be sent together in a single communication.

After sketch approval, no updates will be provided until the piece is ready except in rare cases or if I'm unsure about something and need your clarification.

I will send you a low-resolution, watermarked preview of the final piece once completed. At this point, you may request 3 minor corrections. Large revisions will not be granted at this stage.

Finished pieces will be delivered as a full-size, high quality JPG and PNG upon receipt of the final half of payment. The JPG will include my signature and/or url. Access to the raw KRA/PSD will incur additional charges.

Payment via Square or Zelle. I really hate Paypal sorry.

Deposit is half up front (50% of estimated total) to reserve your space. Please don't pay in full!

I can't accept crypto payments anymore because they make my taxes too hard.

All payments are final. No refunds will be granted for any work started under any conditions.

Cancellations can be made at any time before any work has started for a full refund. I will alert you when it's your turn and I have begun working.

Please note that reviewing your provided references and other documents, conceiving ideas and making notes still constitutes work done. In a similar vein, you do get paid for reading emails and filling out your time sheet at your job.

Once work has started, but before a sketch has been approved, I will refund you half of your deposit (25% of est. total).

Cancellations after sketch approval will not receive any refund on your deposit.

I may decline any request for any reason.

I own all rights to all work produced. I reserve the right to post all pieces on my social media and website. Please let me know if your commission includes a sensitive matter, such as if it is a memorial piece, that should exclude it from sharing.

I reserve the right to use any produced work in the creation of marketing materials unless exclusive rights are purchased. Contact me to purchase exclusive rights.

I reserve the right to use any fan art in the production of marketing materials and merchandise.

You cannot claim or ask for exclusivity for any fan art or characters you do not already own the rights to.

This includes free products, free events, and works created for tax exempt entities. Contact me for commercial rights and usage.

None of my work, produced as part of a commission or otherwise, may be used in the training, fine tuning, or data validation of AI, used in a LoRA, or used to produce NFTs without my written permission and purchasing of rights. Contact me to purchase AI release.
