Please consider my style when commissioning me. Be aware that my art uses sharp aliased lines.
I reserve the right to refuse a commission.
Payment can be done via PayPal or Boosty, either before beginning or once a sketch has been approved.
For factors not covered in the base price guide (ex. scenes involving extreme angles or poses, unique framing, props, multiple light sources, etc.) I can discuss pricing with you. I will not spring surprise price changes on you.
Updates will be provided for approval at every stage.
Please bring up major edits that will affect lineart (such as pose) at the sketch stage (I'm lenient about this; just due to my style and process making major lineart edits can be very time-consuming).
After art is completed, no major edits will be made unless it was a mistake I made.
I can provide alternate versions of a piece within reason (ex. can send the unshaded version of a shaded piece, can send a version without a background, etc.)
Completed art will be shared publicly, with the client tagged (when possible), unless otherwise requested.
If desired, I can email a copy of the completed artwork to you.
If you wish to cancel a commission, I will issue a full refund only if a sketch has not yet been approved, and a partial refund at my discretion after a sketch has been approved.
If I need to cancel a commission at any stage, I will issue a full refund.
If you plan on using my art as part of merchandise, a company logo, or anything to do with incorporating it, please discuss with me beforehand.
My art is not to be used for NFTs or anything cryptocurrency-related.

Artistic Liberty Commissions

Guided Liberty

Pick a size/crop, whether you want shading, and (optionally) a general mood or personality (just to give me ideas), and just let me go ham. Sketch will still be provided for approval, but few edits will be made (unless I got the design wrong); this is more in case you want to back out before I get to the hard part. Backgrounds up to my discretion (no extra charge); shading style is up to my discretion. Will be super stylized in my style.Headshot - 10 $    Add shading - +3$
Halfbody - 15 $     Add shading - +4$
Fullbody - 18 $      Add shading - +5$

SUPER Liberty

Payment required upfront.
Pick a size/crop, and (optionally) a general mood or personality (just to give me ideas). No sketch provided for approval I just sit down and do this in the 45 minutes it takes me when there's no back-and-forth or edits. No backing out. Only edits I will do is if I really messed up (like I forgot to draw the horns, didn't add the facial markings, or there's a section that should be colored that is transparent). Level of shading and backgrounds are up to my discretion (no extra charge). Will be super stylized in my style.
Headshot - 8 $
