payment.

methods of payment i accept usd through paypal, cashapp, venmo and kofi.
payment in full expected once a sketch is finalized and approved; no further work will be done until payment is received.
refunds unavailable unless i will not be able to complete your order due to external circumstances in my personal life. i do not offer refunds for any other instances.

process.

turnaround time averages 1-2 weeks for most pieces, unless otherwise indicated, and 2-4 weeks for reference sheets. anticipated delays will be disclosed.
sketch approval requires your attentiveness. i draw directly upon sketch lines, so make your major changes in this stage.
further updates will be sent for each major stage (lineart and coloring completion). see the next section for further alteration policy.
in case of nitro or item payment a heavily-watermarked version of the final piece will be sent. payment must be received and confirmed before the clean version is shared.

alterations.

sketch phase edits may be done with any severity up to five separate times.
lineart phase edits may be done with moderate severity up to three separate times.
color phase edits may be done with minor severity up to two separate times.
put all requests in a single message to be done together.
custom designs follow a unique process.

the buyer may reupload my work to any site with proper credit, either to my bluesky account, my toyhou.se, or my discord profile.
the buyer may redesign any custom characters if original credit is maintained on the old reference sheet.
the buyer may contact me with the phrase nightingale to prove they have read my TOS.
the buyer may not claim to be the artist or designer of any works.

please note.

references are a new addition to my roster, so i have very few examples that may not quite line up with the package deals you see below. the way i create ref sheets is subject to change at any time. please be patient; i'll work closely with you to ensure you're happy with whatever i can provide.

mix & match.

listed below are default packages based on combinations of features i think go well together for a fair price. you may request that features or views be added to the $10 base price (front / side, palette, info) for additional fees, as detailed in the table just below.

default inclusions.

all sheets include a front or side view (depending on whether your character is feral or anthro by default), a color palette stylized to my discretion, and your character's name, species, pronouns, and any other relevant design notes that you or i wish to include for other artists down the line.

custom designs.

i will create a character from the ground up for an additional fee of 50%. as these require constant communication, please be willing to work with me. moodboards, playlists, quotes, etc. are all accepted and encouraged as inspiration for designs.
