ProcessA commission will begin with the client sending an email or filling out a commission form. All correspondence will go through email, so please be sure to check your inbox often! We may go back and forth a bit, clarifying details. This is also the time for the client to pose questions as well (such as those regarding payment plans, completion times, streaming, anonymous commissions, or gift commission posting).After details are discussed and clarified, I will total and confirm the commission price with the client. Payment is done through invoice, and all prices and estimates will be given in American (US) Dollars ($). Payment will be requested after a commission is confirmed, and work will not begin on the client's piece until payment is complete. I will request the money from the client personally. I do not accept e-checks or payments sent to me unless I have requested them myself. A copy of the current TOS will be linked with the invoice. Once the invoice has been sent and given an identification number, the commission goes into the working queue.I do my best to work on commissions in the order they are received, but if I am waiting for approval on a sketch or design, I may work out of order. Typically, sketches can be finished within an hour or two, while adding basic colors and shading can add two to eight hours to a piece, or even more depending on complexity. More realistic scenes and reference sheets can take upwards of thirty hours to complete. I keep my queue very organized so that clients may view it and gauge how long until I begin work on their piece.The client will be kept in-the-loop throughout the commission process, and will be sent watermarked work-in-progress images at stage completion unless otherwise stated. The client may also request a WIP at any time, though if I feel the WIPs I'm sending are getting excessive, I may charge an additional fee.Edits are done after each stage of the process, and I like to make sure sketches, colors, shading, etc. are approved before moving on to ensure satisfaction. Once the piece is finished, edits are at my discretion and may incur a fee. I will not re-do commissions. I may make slight tweaks to characters I draw to suit my style better or for easier viewing, so if there are parts of your character's design that aren't open to interpretation, please be up front with them!Once finished, the client will be sent a full-resolution, unwatermarked copy of their image, and a watermarked version for public posting. Finished commissions will be posted to my art galleries and may be used as commission examples on this website. I will give links to clients that request them.I do not issue full refunds at the client’s request unless the commission has not been started. For partial refunds, I will refund a percentage of the client's purchase based on the process of the commission. If I as the artist decide I no longer want to work on a client’s piece, a full refund will be given.

FAQ-- Do you accept trades or requests?
I may do trades with friends or mutuals; I do not do requests.-- Do you use a tablet?
Yes! I use a Wacom Intuos4 and an iPad Pro.-- What programs/brushes do you use?
I use Clip Studio Paint! I have a tendency to stockpile brushes, but some I've used in the past are from [Frenden], [GlowingRaptor], [DAUB], [Devin Elle Kurtz], [Pharan], [TheDawner], and [MrsDrPepper].-- Can I ink/color your sketches if I give credit?
No, unless the image is explicitly stated to be free use. Not even if you commissioned them.-- May I repost your art on other sites for you?
Please do not.-- What should I do if I find your work reposted/stolen/colored/traced?
Please notify me privately.-- How do I go about commissioning you?
I announce commission openings on my art gallery and social media sites, usually at least via Twitter, Tumblr, and Mastodon! I will then invite clients to email me commission details and questions or fill out a commission form.-- Do you stream?
Yes, occasionally! When I do, I’ll post a notification on my major networking websites.-- Where am I allowed to use art I have gotten from you?
Check your copy of my TOS, or the Summary of Rights.-- When did you start drawing?
I don’t really remember. When I was really small, I drew a lot of Pokemon.-- Have you gone to school for art or taken art classes?
Nope! Except for high school art classes I guess, haha.-- Do you do traditional work?
Yes. I don’t use traditional media as often as I should, but colored pencils and microns are my usual tools if I’m not sketching in pencil.-- Do you go to any conventions?
Yes! I live in Texas so you can expect to see me at various furry and anime conventions. I will usually announce before I go, if I can help it. I won't have a table or booth and mostly enjoy these events as a regular congoer.-- Can I chat with you?
You can try! I’m an extremely reclusive person and don’t talk to many people besides my household and immediate family. That’s not to say I won’t hold a conversation; I’m just not very good at it.
