faq
what program do you use?
i use ibispaintx and/or procreate on ipad w/apple pencil. (i tend to do the bulk of my work in ibispaint, with finishing touches/other adjustments in procreate as needed)can i repost your art?
no. (insta story sharing and retweeting (including qrt and pqrt) are okay by me though.)can i use your art as a profile picture/banner/etc?
yes, but please credit me in your bio.can i dm you?
yes! i only ask for patience around my speed in responding. if i ever accidentally don't respond, rest assured it's either because i forgot, i didn't know how to respond, didn't think a response was necessary, or was just too nervous to. it's never anything personal, don't worry!

commission info for those interested. please read through before contacting me for commission work.all prices are in USD.
base prices per one character
additional characters come at an additional 50% of the base price (eg. a flat colour half-body with two characters would be $20 + $10 = $30).

additional backgrounds
all commissions come with a simple geometric background upon request, but proper backgrounds are available for flat colour and fully rendered comms at an extra price. (different background styles can be matched with different character styles; eg. a fully rendered character with a flat colour background, total price being the price of a fully rendered character plus the price of the corresponding flat colour background.)

i have the right to deny any commission for any reason.
commissions are for personal use only. any commercial use is strictly forbidden. commissions can be used as profile pictures/banners/etc. as long as credit is given to me in a bio or an equivalent if it is displayed publicly.payment
payment is through either paypal or venmo. payment is entirely upfront, and i will only begin a commission once i have received full payment.
refunds are only available if i have not yet progressed past the early concept stage in my work.timeline
commissions will typically take from 1 to 6 weeks, depending on my personal life at the time. i can give a more specific rough timeframe at the time the commissioner reaches out to me.there are various check-ins between the commissioner and i throughout the process. these are opportunities for the commissioner to request changes to be made. larger changes should be requested as soon as possible; changes requested during the final ending check-in, when i have sent the completed piece, should be minor, like line adjustments or easy colour shifts.sketch comms: no process check-ins, ending check-in for completed piece
flat colour comms: check-in 1 after sketch, ending check-in for completed piece
full render comms: check-in 1 after sketch, check-in 2 after base colours, ending check-in for completed piececommissioner's responsibilities
commissioners are responsible for providing me with ample reference images for any characters and environments included in the commission. (if there are no existing reference images for a requested element, eg. an oc, i can work with a detailed and specific description alongside supplementary reference images that can give me a gist of what is envisioned by the commissioner.)
in addition, it is always helpful (but not necessary) to provide me with examples of my own art (or other art, if needed) in order to clarify stylistic choices they envision, or giving a more general idea of the mood of the envisioned piece.how to request a commission from me
commissioners can contact me through dm's on any of my social media platforms (linked below). before dming me, please check if i have open commission slots in my bio, as i might not have updated the carrd.
when dming me, please include:
- commission type
- number of characters
- background type (if applicable)
i will then dm back whether i can accept the commission, confirm the price of that commission, and tell you what i expect the timeframe would be. after that, we can discuss other details and go from there!thank you for making your way through this! apologies this was so long. i look forward to working with you!
