Now that my Paypal issues are covered, my commissions price list is adjusted for my current skill level and tools, now that I use FireAlpaca and a WACOM tablet as opposed to pen and paper while colored via Paint Shop Pro 8.
I basically follow an Initial Payment method in which my client will give me the first payment indicating they are willing to pay me at least partially for the commission, then the rest of the full payment is paid via time spent on that project, as opposed to elements of that commission such as color, style, props, and so forth. All commissions will be done live, usually sometime in the late morning or evening/night hours, when I am available to sit on the computer for at least one or two hours and draw. I highly recommend the commissioner attends the art stream so they can provide input on how their art piece will turn out, if they would like any adjustments made on the lineart, or if they’d like anything removed or added. If you cannot/prefer not to attend the art stream, or you have no problem with placing full trust on my ability in the project, then I will screencap a timestamp taken from my channel or give you the clocked time once I give you the full invoice.
Charges are made by the half hour/30 minutes; any spillage into the next half hour will be rounded up to the next. If the project is complete before 30 minutes are up, no additional prices will be added; however, if I am to work overtime within that next half-hour, I will charge the minimum additional payment only. I do not charge for added characters, but rather, the time spent on drawing them instead.

I can draw the following:
- Humans, animals (anthro and non-anthro), just about any alien species
- Static and dynamic poses of almost any kind (given I have references)
- Action scenes (including fight scenes)
- Kissing/shipping of any kind (I don’t discriminate)
- Fashion of any time or location (including armor)
- Tasteful nudity
- Mild naughty (Must be minors-friendly)
- Most props and appliances (tables, swords, guns, TV sets, computers, etc)
- Some vehicles and/or architecture (PLEASE provide references)
- Some interior shots (usually kitchens, car interiors, bedrooms, etc)
- Some blood and gore (especially if done comically)
I can/will not draw the following:
- Smut. Especially if I can’t verify your age.
- Overt violence/blood/gore
- Any discriminatory or hateful imagery (racist, sexist, religious discriminatory, etc)
- Overly complex props/appliance, vehicles/architecture, or interior shots
- Anything else that makes me very uncomfortable to draw (which says a lot). I reserve the right to refuse a project if I find a major problem with it in any way.
Ordering a Commission
1.) Either contact me via Skype, Tumblr Ask/Submit, deviantART Notes, or email [[email protected]]. DO NOT SEND PAYMENT JUST YET.
2.) Include the following in your message:
- What type of commission you hope to order, which is coded in the price list. For instance, if you want a full body drawing of your hero character with just graytones but no shading, the order number will be B1b.
- References and detailed descriptions of what you want. The more references and details you provide me, the better. If you do not have references for your character, face claims in lieu of them will do. If you have no idea of a face claim or you wish to give me full freedom on how to interpret this character, please specify this and, if you can, attend the art stream so you can voice any changes you wish to be made if the art isn’t going the way you’d hope.
- A time you can attend the art stream. This can be negotiated in the email/IM/private notes.
3.) Once I accept the commission, please send the payment via Paypal. I will provide you the email there (it is NOT [email protected]). Select the option “Send money to friends and family” as opposed to “pay for goods or services”. Trust me, it’s less a headache on both our behalves.
4.) If you feel the price is too high, we can negotiate prices or payment methods, but please take note that I, too, am a working person who is barely scraping by from paycheck to paycheck. I base my prices on my skill level as well as intended clientele (usually everyday folks who want nice artwork for their favorite characters, not animation studios and companies). If I am to provide discounts, they will be for friends/family or young students with no jobs.
