Frequently Asked Questions (Short):

Real Life Commission (RLC) is currently not available. I do not do freebies/requests. I do not use ping/waitlists!
I am not considering trade offers for my characters unless they are in my trade thread.
If I drew art for you, you do not have to inquire if you can edit my artwork. Please feel free (but retain the original copy)!
My art is only for personal use. I do not allow my artwork (free or commissioned) to be used for commercial/profit/NTF (etc). 

✦ Frequently Asked Questions (Expanded):

-----✦ My Art/Commissions ✦ -----

▶ Q. Are you open for commission/art trades?
▷ A. ^ ^)/ Sorry, but RLC is permanently closed. I might do organization/donation commissions, but this is rare.

▶ Q. Can I be notified if you change your mind (RLC) or when you open (art trades)?
▷ A. I’m sorry but ping lists are too constricting for me. I will not use this method any more!

▶ Q. Where is your art posted? Do you have an art Instagram/Twitter/Tumblr/deviantArt? 
▷ A. I do not have any art social media. ^ ^; If you want to see past artwork, feel free to browse my TH or Trello!

▶ Q. [_Design feature_] changed and would like to reflect on art I received from you in the past: Can I edit your art to reflect it?
▷ A. If the art was obtained via commission/gift/trade (art was intended for you), then yes!
Feel free to edit the art as much as you want. (Also, if it’s any line art or sketch, feel free to color.) However, ensure you have a copy of the original before you modify it. For credit, only credit me for the relevant components and credit yourself on any changes made (example: lines—minute @ TH & color—user @ TH). Other than the above, please do not edit/use my art.

▶ Q. I got art from you in the past, but I lost the original file.
▷ A. If you remember the year + month of the artwork, I might still have the original image. My backlog goes back to 2009 but I forget to save casual sketches + personal art (if this was a previously owned character).

▶ Q. I am still pending artwork from you, can I ask for a status?
▷ A. Yes! In addition, if your slot is not reflected in Trello (under Work List [Other]), notify me immediately!

▶ Q. Do you have a formal Terms of Service (TOS) for your art?
▷ A. I do not have a consolidated formal TOS for those who have received my artwork. However, past RLC customers will have the applicable TOS attached to their PayPal invoice. For those who have received my artwork, I currently ask only two things:
1. My art is only for personal use (not commercial/profit).
2. Must only for the intended customer/recipient/recipients. (In other words, it is not to be redistributed/used by third parties/for public use. Exception: I'm okay with any original character art being transferred to another person via trade/resale/gift.) I urge those who have received my art to please be honest to others about the monetary value/gain of my art! If my artwork was a gift, personal artwork, or game currency, be upfront with the gaining party that my artwork has no monetary value

----- ✦ My Characters ✦ -----

▶ Q. Do you still have [_Design_]? Can I be notified if you ever decide to trade/sell them?
▷ A. If they're not already listed as trade/sell in my trade thread, I am not interested in any private messages toward exchanging them!

▶ Q. Is it ok to draw your character?
▷ A. I'm open to SFW drawings of my characters!

▶ Q. I haven't seen you updating [_Design_]'s profile, no new art, or any activity? Why is it still a "Work In Progress"?
▷ A. I have a tentative idea/head-canon for my characters, but I usually like updating in batches (that way, I'm not conflicting profile stories kfkjlasd). It's only a hobby, so I'll update profiles publicly only when I am in the mood!

▶ Q. Would you be interested in a ship/relationship pair?
▷ A. Sorry, but I'm not interested in shipping/friendship pairs of my characters with anyone! ^ ^;; I only do pairs with my closest friends.

▶ Q. If it is okay, can I talk to you about your OCs? 
▷ A. T//T) Honestly, I am a bit embarrassed/shy about talking or discussing my character's stories...! I am always shocked when people read their profiles! Honestly, you guys remember more details than I do at times...! I'll answer some common questions I get!

▶ Q. Do you have a favorite?
▷ A. Aa yes...!! My favorite is Mika and Yue.  T T)!! Sniff, I love them for different reasons!

▶ Q. Do you have a preferred genre for your characters? 
▷ A. I do! I generally like family/domestic, soft stories. I also like traits/themes of overcoming hardships or addressing past mistakes.
Some characters do not really have a story! I like giving them an open world to live a simple, pleasant life.

▶ Q. Can I ask why you do not want suggestive/NSFW of your characters? 
▷ A. There is no significant justification! I typically do not commission suggestive/NSFW artwork of my characters, it is purely personal preference! (But I've properly marked the few I've obtained.) 

▶ Q. Your credit is wrong/outdated on [_Link_]. You have “__”; it should be “__.”
▷ A. If that’s true, then please let me know! Thanks in advance.;;

▶ Q. Grammar mistake in your profile [_Link_]. You wrote “__”; consider changing it to “__”?
▷ A. Thanks! I have a lot of text, so it is appreciated!

▶ Q. Additional character questions (template from @/shareocs):
- Is fanart okay? Can others draw their own OCs with yours?
▷ A. I am open to SFW fanart, please feel free to draw your OCs with mine!
- Are headcanons and shipping ok?
▷ A. Headcannons are OK! I am mostly* OK with shipping! (*Between best friend characters or between my other characters.)
- Is kinning ok?
▷ A. Sorry, but I am not comfortable with kinning.
- Is fanfiction/writing okay?
▷ A. Yes, fanfiction/writing is OK! (Please let me know if it's okay to post in their character library?)


-----✦ General ✦ -----

▶ Q. Please look at my commission sheet/gallery, can you buy my artwork/adopts?
▷ A. ^ ^);; Sorry! Unless I state that I am looking for commissions (via thread or bulletin), I do not respond to direct/unsolicited advertisements via my inbox.

▶ Q. You seem inactive, where are you? 
▷ A. I check TH daily, but I work full-time and am casually working on my education! I've also gotten back into mobile games (lol). I'm playing Arknights... ^ q ^)
