she/they, 30sPlease follow, unfollow, and block at will, it's up to you to curate the best social media experience for yourself. I have no patience for bigotry or harassing people over their taste in fiction.I'm almost always up for chatting or answering questions, and lurking is also welcome! I like to keep my space chill and share knowledge and resources, and remain as drama free as I am able without compromising my values.my itch.io has some solo zines and my most recent sketchbook, and my ko-fi shop has more sketchbooks, digital freebies, and commission discounts, sneak previews, and other fun stuff for members ;)

Commission Process

  • If you'd like to commission me, please fill out my commission order form! It helps me stay organized. Commissions are not first-come first-serve, and filling it out doesn't guarantee you a slot, but it adds you to my waitlist. You are welcome to email me or DM me on socials if you have any questions! I would be happy to answer them 💙

  • If I accept your commission request, I'll contact you at the email address provided on the form when I have a spot open, and we can finalize the details before I send you an invoice through Square (which takes payment via Stripe). I can also take payment through Paypal invoice on request, or create a ko-fi listing instead (if it's sfw), just let me know when you fill out the form!

  • Make sure you've looked through my Terms of Service before asking for a commission! The form will require that you acknowledge you've read through and agree my TOS.

  • It may take me some time to start the commission depending on my schedule, but you can always message me for updates. I typically respond within the day, during business hours!

  • My current prices are listed on the commission order form✨

  • My commission queue and current status can be found on my notion page, which also has a bunch of free resources for commissioners who don't have any visual refs!

Terms of Service

last updated: Jul 12, 2024
**changed some grammar, added examples to Revisions and Delivery

  • By requesting a commission, you certify that you have read, understood, and agreed to my ToS. Commission requests can be made through my order form (linked down below) or through ko-fi.

general

  • 1. I have the right to refuse any commission request for any reason without explanation.

  • 2. Turnaround time can vary between a couple weeks to 2 months.

  • 3. I may sometimes post a wip (work-in-progress) or stream commissions. If you do not want your commission shown publicly, or want to wait until a certain date for it to be shown publicly, please alert me before I begin.

  • 4. I will provide an update on the commission during the wip stage if asked for one on the commission form, or otherwise when asked. Clients are encouraged to check in for updates, assurance, reminders, or questions. I will do my best to respond within 24 hours on weekdays.

  • 5. I reserve the right to post all commissioned work on any of my personal websites, portfolio, and social media.

  • 6. I retain all the rights to the commissioned artwork. The purchase of image rights can be negotiated for an additional fee, and must be mentioned on the form when requesting a commission.

  • 7. Clients retain all rights to their own characters.

  • 8. Commissioned artwork is for personal use only. This includes printing it out to display in-home or as gifts, or cropping the artwork to create icons and avatars to be used non-commercially. You are free to showcase the artwork on your personal website or gallery, but please credit me as the artist. You may not use the artwork for streamer or website branding, or for other commercial purposes if we have not agreed to do so beforehand.

  • 9. Please do not alter or edit the commissioned artwork, except in the personal-use cases outlined above.

  • 10. I do not allow my work to be used for any 'AI' or blockchain related technology, at all, for any reason. I do not allow my art to be made into NFTs or fed to 'AI' generators.

payment

  • Payment is due after details have been established and a price agreed to. I will send an invoice through Square (which uses stripe to process payments) or Paypal that must be paid in full before I will begin the commission.

  • I also offer commissions through ko-fi, which will be done through the site (ko-fi can take payments through either paypal or stripe).

  • Tipping is never required, but of course is appreciated! Tipping is available through ko-fi donations, or through Square when I send the invoice

revisions and delivery

  • Revisions of a commission can be requested during the sketch/thumbnail stage. I will do my best to accommodate changes, but repeated requests for revisions, or extensive requests that diverge from the original description or references may incur additional fees

  • For all commissions, minor revisions can be made after the work is complete. Major revisions may incur separate fees

  • Minor revisions: small changes to facial expressions, color corrections, adding small, simple markings

  • Major revisions: changes to pose, adding new clothing, anything that requires redrawing

  • To ensure a straightforward transaction process and to avoid revision fees, please make requests for specific criteria as early as possible. examples:

  • square image for a button or avatar

  • 11x17" poster size & dimensions

  • phone or desktop wallpaper dimensions

  • a specific file type (jpg, png, etc)

refunds and cancellations

  • If the client cancels their commission during or after payment, but before a wip/thumbnail has been approved, they will get a full refund

  • If the client cancels after work on the commission has begun, or after the commission is complete, no refund will be issued

  • If I am the one to cancel the commission, a full refund will be issued to the client. I may cancel and refund a commission for any reason, including but not limited to: rude or inappropriate behavior, poor communication, or unforeseen inability to complete the commission

  • For both cancelled or completed commissions, I may recycle sketches and thumbnails that were not used for other works
