FAQ- Frequently Asked Questions
Can you Draw <X>?
Though I specialize in Anthro and Human character designs, I am literally willing to take on any character species of any kind. I am also adept at armor, weapons, clothing and jewelry. If you have a unique idea or character, please just ask!
Can you alter this art for me?
That depends on whether or not it is your artwork and whether or not the original artist has licensed you to be allowed to do so or not. Generally speaking if there is no written concent that you are allowed to have the artwork altered, then no. I must also be shown this written permission, be it on the artist website, commission information or otherwise. If you have the go ahead, then yes, I will be more than willing to alter artwork to suit your desires and needs, so long as you're paying for my services of course. Not for free.
Can you make me an animated portrait using someone else's art?
No. Asking me to do this is insulting, its like saying you do not like my art or my style and/or it isnt good enough for you. If your other artist doesn't have the skills to make their own animated portraits then you're not going to have an animating port with their art in it. It's that simple. At least, not that I will be helping with. You would also need permission from that artist to have the art modified into an animating port before you can do so.
HELP, I LOST MY COMMISSION FILE!
Never fear, client-san. I save every commission file that I ever do, and all you need to do is contact me and I will gladly re-send it to you. I may ask you to prove your identity if there is reasonable concern as to whether or not you are the original client.
Will you accept digos or (in game cash and goods) instead of money?
Generally speaking no, in fact, almost always no, but if you can make me a really nice offer I might reconsider.
Can we do an art trade?
That depends if I have time and if I really like your style and if I think it would fit any of my characters. That said trades are kind of rare for me to do.
Can you draw your character with mine?
Not unless they have actually interacted, In Character. If the subject matter is questionable I may say no regardless. On the subject, not that it should need to be stated, but no, unless you are a very close friend of mine, you may not have anyone -else- draw your characters with any of mine, either. Respect that my characters are mine. You do not get a choice in saying who draws them or how they are portrayed, or who they are portrayed with.

The Process
- You fill out a commission form. If I do not contact you within 2 days of you sending the form, I may not have received it, somehow. If you are concerned your form didn't go through, E-mail me, or leave me a message on DeviantART, or contact me in-game, please do not spam the submit button on the form.
- I review your form answers, usually I will contact you to clarify any questions I might have.
- If there is a queue (a line) of artwork (of other commissioners) that I am currently working on, you will be placed at the back of the queue. Placement in the Queue is first come first serve. If for some reason you are at the top of the queue but have not paid me after your Presketches are complete, (and are waiting for payment) I will skip you in the queue and move to the next person, until you are prepared to pay me. If two people commission me at the same time, whoever pays me first is the one I'll finish first.
- I draw what is called a Presketch. Usually, these are without shading, and are simple lineworks. These do not reflect how good the piece will look once finished, so please just be aware of that. as Presketches can often look quite... rudimentary.
- I allow you to review the Presketch, for you to look at, not have to own (this art may not be copied, altered, colored or posted on the web by you or anyone you know under any circumstances- the Presketch belongs to me until you pay for it). This Presketch is to ensure that the linework and details of your character are correct, before I go any further. However, no corrections will be made to this drawing unless you pay me, and if you cancel the commission, this Presketch may be used for another purpose (in which case, all of your character-specific details will be removed). If you request changes to the Presketch, I will submit a corrected version once payment is received. The more corrections you ask for, the longer your art will take, so please try to make all your corrections upon the first Presketch.
- I will send you an invoice on paypal.
- I will then make any corrections you may have requested to the sketch and then begin working on coloring and rendering your artwork. Sometimes I will stream to allow clients to watch. =)
- Please allow at least a week once I have started the art before asking me if it is finished. (Usually I will tell you when I have begun working on it, also keep in mind that if you’re in a queue (if there is a queue) you will have to wait for those in line before you to finish their business with me before I begin yours. Please keep in mind, I have a life too, and sometimes I get busy, or things get hectic, if I need more time, for some reason, I will certainly let you know. As always you can check my DA site to see if I have uploaded progress pictures of your art.
- Once completed, I will submit the art to DA, and I will email you a copy of the piece, as well as letting you know it was submitted to DA, and will provide links to the art for quick, easy access. You receive your art, you can display it on your character/personal websites as you like, but when doing so, especially on gallery websites like DeviantArt or FurAffinity, a link to my DA or FA homepage MUST be provided, or a link back to where I originally uploaded the picture. If ever you lose it, you can e-mail me for a new copy.
Regarding Erotic Themes
I will not do explicit pornographic work detailing penetration, or sexual fluids, or anything that directly focuses on the sexual act. I will only be drawing fetishes if they are tasteful. Why? Because, to put it bluntly, I'm a bit of a prude. I've tried drawing porn for others before, and it's a struggle for me. Not because it is conceptually difficult, but because I completely lack the motivation to do it. I even struggle drawing pornographic work even for myself, or close friends, so by no means is this a personal slight against you, or your characters. I just simply do not enjoy it. Drawing erotica requires me to be in a very specific mindset, and nine times out of ten, I'm not, and if I don't want to draw it, the artwork turns out terrible. I often find that when or if I get a request for pornographic work (rare, even still) I tend to really, seriously struggle to force myself to even start the commission. I've decided after several long months of thought over the topic, simply to not offer it anymore. The money it brings in does not feel worth the the way drawing such material makes me feel. Additionally, the comments usually garnered by such artwork, frankly, disgusts me. I don't want to know who/what/when or how some random person in the comment section wants the character(s) in the art to do them. Sorry but, it feels gross. Would you say it in a real world gallery? No, of course not. The simplest way to avoid these kinds of comments is to simply not offer that kind of material altogether.
I can do Erotic themes, however, but I charge an additional fee for these. Sexual content means slapping on a mature content filter, which means less viewers for me. Less viewers means less business. Less business means I have to charge more. Imposing an erotic fee is the easiest solution, and it's not a large fee- only 15% of the base price (which means that additional fees, like complexity, etc, are not factored in to this fee). Tastefully nude work does not impose a fee, however. Read below.
When referring to my artwork:
Erotic themes impose a fee, but tasteful nude work does not.
What's the difference between "Erotic and Tasteful Nude?"
Erotic refers to artworks that are sexual in nature, depicting sexual acts, but are clean of explicit details of genitalia, excluding nipples, nipples will still be visible if they would naturally show in the chosen pose.
Tasteful Nude refers to artworks in which the character is nude, but the theme is not sexual nor sexually explicit by any means. Genitalia may be tastefully 'covered' by clever posing or environment items (a cloth, a plant, etc, depending on the commission).
For example:
A lovely, naked beauty bathing in a pool is tasteful nude.
A lovely, naked beauty bathing in a pool while pleasuring themselves beneath a towel or revealing an obvious erection is erotic.
I hope this helps.
Here's a list of what I'm currently comfortable with. Bare in mind, none of these will be explicit.
YES:
That said, there are some things I will absolutely not draw, and this is that list. Anything on this list I will not draw or incorporate by any means at all, no matter if I am tipped, asked nicely, etc, No. If it is on this list, it is not happening.
