My illustration commissions are open in these ranges:
Dec 1 to Feb 1
May 1 to ~August 15th
why these dates? because I'm a college student! however even after I graduate I will keep these for consistency.
This means they're closed February, March, April, the latter half of August, September, October, and November.
they are NOT open except to friends any other times of the year. This is because I have college work. Please keep attention to this before asking c:
There IS one exception, however! Pixels are always open, all year!! Along with that, I may also post adopts on my toyhouse!

i do a fluctuating amount of slots per month. here is the status on those, they'll always be up to date!

[sic]

These are subject to change without notice, so please review them before commissioning at any time!
You also understand that my terms of service only reflect my artwork, and should not be used to gauge another artist's boundaries.

GENERAL TERMS

To align with my general online rules, please do not commission me for anything if you are under 16.
If you are above that age and getting a safe commission to gift for someone younger, please don't show them my page. I just personally am not comfortable with younger people seeing my personal accounts, even SFW. Thanks for understanding.
As you will see below, I also sometimes take NSFW subjects. Obviously, you MUST be 18+ to get anything nude, sexual/fetish, or drug related; this can become a legal issue not to mention its extremely gross!! If you do not have an age in your bio somewhere I wont do NSFW subjects with you.Bigots (including anti-mogai and xenogender and exclusionists, just any hatred or ousting of a group, orientation, race/ethnicity, body type, or religion from their place) along with predators/harassers are instantly disallowed from commissioning me in any way. Predation includes even the premeditated intent to violate consent or consent laws. Harassment includes any witchmobbing, calloutposting, spamming, etc. Scammers are also not allowed.
I will be checking your username for any sketchy history! Be up front with me if there are claims against you.
I investigate earnestly, and without kneejerk, I only go off of CONCRETE EVIDENCE for UNATONED FOR CRIMES. Bullshitty friend drama callouts and nonissues dont count to me lol (i consider these harassment tbh), only people who are actively endangering or deliberately harming others.
Be aware that I have my own mind and likely will not give you exactly what you want the first or second time around, and you are asking for my interpretation, not your idea perfectly as you want it. Asking me to fix something more than 3 revisions in a row for a project is an extra $3 charge per fix, but please be kind and understanding either way and do not chastise me for not "getting" you the first time when that is impossible; its completely your responsibility to provide and stick with important details before we begin. Of course I can change something for you so dont be afraid to get your money's worth!! But, also expect artistic liberty too.You are contacting me as a client and nothing more. Please do not strike up casual conversation with me. We politely discuss art or serious concerns only. Talking to me once or twice or being mutuals or whatever does not equal friendship in my eyes, and I can get uncomfortable enough to block over this.
If you haven't spoken about personal/non-art topics to me over a long period of time, we aren't friends, even if we are mutuals or have done many projects together. I'm sorry if this is rude, but I'm just not the kind of person who wants many friends or people talking to me all the time!
As you will see below, my art/designs may be edited minorly and respectfully, so long as you take responsibility for your edits. However, I do not consent to my artwork being used for commercial AI work because this is not minor nor is it respectful. If you are testing a personal AI model, I do not mind. Just do not publicly redistribute the work.
I do not want any sort of involvement in NFT work as well.
Commissions are a luxury, not a necessity. I have the right to deny work for any reason, and you are not to pester me unless I am silent past the estimate i give you. be patient and kind. Do NOT haggle prices with me. They are final, and I will not cut prices for ANY reason.Details are not annoying! Unless you want me to go ham on your piece...potentially in a way that you dislike...you must plan ahead your idea and give me any details you can about what you'd like!
You MUST have visual reference for pre-existing characters. Customs must be well described, and I appreciate image inspirations such as "aesthetic" pics or music for them. You can also of course use pictures for items or inspiration for pre-existing ocs as well!
Please know your artist. Do not come to me for realistic, accurately humanoid and/or very refined artwork when all my examples show messy, often saturated anthro art.
My art is also mainly pretty cute, because that's just what I like, but I can work with more creepy/gross characters too as long as you don't mind some cuteness x)
You are allowed to commission as many times you want within the frame of them being open. thank you for your support!!

USAGE OF COMMISSION

You may personally use commissions, but NOT commercially. You are not to give to third-party sellers. I do understand that sometimes art is stolen without anyone's power to stop it, but if I find you profiting from any of my work, you'll be blacklisted and reported on your platform. I have no contract over my work so I am relying on trust.
I will outline what I consider personal use below.
To personally use without partaking in...essentially art theft, you have to visibly credit back to a platform of mine or this carrd in your bio or page!OK WITH FULL CREDIT: toyhouse upload, profile picture, personal merch/shirt, avatar, banner, nightcore cover art/amv art, anything else not below i guess!NOT OK: merchandise produced for sale, artwork heavily used in projects where you profit from (minor use is ok, such as monetized YouTube video where it's shortly there, but if the art is a huge asset or focus, it is not allowed to be used)The exception is if I am specifically freelancing for your project and profit share is fully discussed. Which i do partake in freelance work! I'd love to make art for your game, shirts, story, etc., if I am paid a fraction for sales!
I have the right to refuse projects out of disinterest.
You are allowed to make minor edits of my work without my permission. HOWEVER, you must link the original somewhere (you dont have to upload it- just a link will do), and directly state that you are responsible for any edit and that I did not review it

CUSTOM DESIGNS

I do understand that
I cannot control what someone else does with my design, nor do I want to put down a pipeline of such. I will not revoke a design once you recieve it. I cannot stop you from doing whatever you want with my design, and I dont normally keep close tabs.
However, if you are doing something that is against the first few points of my "will not draw" list down there, you have to make it clear that I am not in agreement of your usage-- this can be done just by crediting my carrd on the profile. This is to separate me from your actions, as I am not responsible for you nor associated with you outside of work. You are held by the TOS of your platform.OTHER INFO- customs are hard. I humbly ask for you to be kind and patient with me because I am a little bad at working on things with no visual inspirations or references, and likely won't get it what you want on the first try. I'm more of a visual thinker than usual ♾️. you can even draw your own sketch mockup if you want to!- this functions just like my regular commissions; more money for more complexity or a bigger/more refined ref and design.- i do not give a shit about adults safely making consensual nsfw, gore or drugs artwork with my design, go crazy LOL again it isnt like i check. gay furry sex is awesome- you are only allowed to resell for base price unless art is added on. Reselling the base design for higher than what you bought it for counts as scamming, in which I do not work with scammers.♡ while i can do small edits for you myself, feel free to change or make new forms for the design after you buy! you can alter it in any way to fit your style, and do respectful redesigns of parts as long as its not unrecognizable and you link the original and say you are fully responsible for the edits and stuff

WILL AND WONT DRAW

WILL DRAW

Anything that isnt on my "no" list tbh? Still, i want to put some specifics.- any animal species ever, even if it isnt on my examples. I am confident in depicting any real or fantasy non-humanoid species, biped or quadruped.- mary sues, sparkledogs, "bad" designs, complex designs(with an added fee)- tattoo flashes (can be f2u/public, or only for you)! one tat is a light payment, a flash/sleeve is a medium payment, and a ton of detail on either a single or flash is large payment.
(i won't sign tats unless you want my signature, and you don't have to credit me to everyone who sees the tattoo unless you want to xD)
- fanart-shipping including crack shipping, and self-shipping that isnt against my "no" list- pets- backgrounds/abtract aka no character needed- light and/or unrealistic gore (so it can be heavier if it's like candy organs or very sparkly blood or whatever)- horror themes, angst,- MMMAYBE STYLIZED HUMANOIDS? im unconfident but ill see- machinery/mech/robotics, if you dont mind me being a little amateur at it still

WILL DRAW ONLY IF CLIENT AND SUBJECT ARE 18+

As long as its not on the "no" list, I will draw any sexual content, but please note that I'm very amateur at sex poses so I might decline unless you have a reference image of the pose you want. So masturbation, sex, kink scenarios, making out, pinups, etc. all count here, and I can do both simple and detailed genitalia.I do have a list of harmless fetishes/kinks im not okay with, but you'll have to ask me in DMs to give the list. Any other fetish or kink is likely fine if it's not on or similar to anything on the list, feel free to ask for clarification. I really don't bite or judge on anything!I will also do artistic/nonsexual nudity.You are also only allowed to get drug use themes if 18+ applies to client and subject.

FILTER THIS ART WHEN SHARING. DO NOT ALLOW UNDERAGED PEOPLE TO ACCESS MY NSFW WORK! i mean, i get that kids find boobs anyways, but do not deliberately or irresponsibly expose children to weird shit thanks

WILL NOT DRAW

-bigotry/hateful subjects-anything targeting any other person, drama, etc- things I personally find uncomfortable because i feel they fetishize abuse or a lack of consent, or simply because i am just uncomfortable with them regardless (although there is distinction to what I dont as well so I want to expand upon that here):

WONT DRAW: lolishota/underage fetish, cub, ABDL, noncon, incest/adopted ships, glorified/cutesy abuse of drugs or another person, and nsfw quadruped/realistic animal anatomy or genitals

OK WITH ME: nsfw anthro/kemono (planti or digi leg, as long as theyre bodily very humanoid), fantasy alien genitalia, pup gear/petplay, SFW agere, SFW baby or young characters, adult characters in diapers (diapers can be for SFW agere coping, or for disability/incontinence purposes, so don't inherently assume its kink) dark content that isnt glorified (i am confident to detail on abuse in a genuine manner if you are, or its integral to your character), and shipping characters who share a caretaker with no canonically implied sibling relations (unless the two characters explicitly state to be/see each other as siblings, idc about headcanons or the popular opinion, even my own. it is harmless). if you need any other distinctions lmk, as long as it doesn't involve lack of consent I won't bite.

- any media that is actively promoting or centered around bigotry, along with glorification of bigoted things in otherwise fine media. like...south park and harry potter are definitely out. but im expanding again with my own nuance!

everything ever has issues. if a main goal of the piece is not to spread hate (south park) the media is not a direct tool to spread hate (Harry potter), im likely fine.
an example is most anime and anime games with racism/homophobia and pedophilic tropes being baked into anime culture, but are otherwise fine as stories, such as Persona. Homestuck as well, etc.
I will let you know if I'm personally uncomfortable with a media. there's even harmless media I'm not okay with so just ask . I won't assume bad faith!

- realistic heavy gore- real people

By continuing, you are agreeing to me that you read everything the best you could and will come to me up front with any questions. You will not make assumptions about me or my process.

i do a fluctuating amount of slots per month. here is the status on those, they'll always be up to date!

here are art examples with prices! Please note that not all of this is my most recent work.
Please check out my newgrounds to see art that is otherwise not shown!

i do a fluctuating amount of slots per month. here is the status on those, they'll always be up to date!

these are open ALL year, every day. you can always get one, unlike illustrations.

STATIC-50x50 and 60x60-
no bg: $10 (can also pay in discord nitro gift)
bg $15
-70x70 and up-
no bg: $15
bg: $20
complexity can bump this up to $30 or so, however!
ANIMATIONSstatic blink (no other anim besides blink) AND/OR static with moving sparkles: +$3small animation (see more info below) +$10complexity fees apply on top of everything here case-by-case depending on how complex your character is.-

50x50 and 60x60

70x70 and up

ANIMATED (pixels and some smaller other things, why not? it's like a mix of the banner section and a pixel. unsure of what to put it as lol)

NOTE:
Pixels can only have 1 character per canvas, but I can do matching ones.
Minimum pixel doll canvas size is 50x50, max is 150x150 (otherwise I consider it more of an illustration and not open all year unless you want a larger simple banner). can do anything in between. I am begging you to specify canvas size upon messaging please idk what size to make it for you and it can seriously affect how the pixel looks.

BUTTONS:
STATIC: $5
MILDLY ANIMATED: $10
BANNERS:
STATIC: $10
MILDLY ANIMATED: $15
-

ON ANIMATIONS:
- animations are small, as I am not an experienced animator. please understand that this is an experimental slot.
- I can send the animation progress how you'd like, be it a static pixel first and then the frames I "tweened"/added on, or sketch frames of animation.
---

paying me!

THESE are art types which are only open on the month ranges specified on the previous page... my personal illustrations!!I am incredibly lenient and versatile, so i make RANGES based on detail alone, and what i specifically charge fluctuates based on complexity, background, or how much of the body is shown.
You will see a lot of different brush styles, coloring styles, tegaki pieces and sometimes me trying to do an old "oekaki furry" style. If you want something specific, ask! I can do lots of things with brushes, coloring, experimental work, canvas resolution, etc. I cannot animate these yet.
pictures go in order of detail/price of range!

light

cute simple and sketchy$15-30 per Fullbody character (+halfbody only adds half price) but I can do a sketchpage for $20 plus any complexity fees if it's tiny little doodle ass sketches
-
price estimate in order of picture:
$15, $16, $20, $20, $25, $25, $30, $30, $40 (two $20 characters)]

medium

a bit more detailed but usually no or little background, and not as detailed as it can go$35-50 per fullbody character (+half, sketchy, or chibi = half price) but I can do an experimental sketchpage like the last for $55 (discount!). any complexity fees could apply on top of all this.[price estimate, in order:
$35, $35, $40, $40, $45 (large-style, but only a head), $50 (large-style, but only up to about the waist), $50 (for 2 $20 full characters, $40, + bg elements, +$10), $55]

medium

the full potential. Can have a full and tangible backdrop/environment. Will do a fully colored sketchpage where i go crazy for $100 (discount!). complexity fees apply to all, I can do a complex character large but it could be over $100!$60-100+ per fullbody character (+half, sketchy, or chibi = half price)price estimate, in order:
$60, $60, $65, $70, $70, $80-100 (depends on bg and character detail; this is a simple character), $100, $120, $150 as a composition, note the bg characters, but the complexity of the subject and the bg would specifically make this closer to $200.

feel free to ask the price I'd put on any specific style of piece in my gallery! I tried to be diverse in my examples, but again, I'm very versatile.I do have a folder of examples showing how I draw nude bodies or raunch, but you'd have to privately ask if youre interested.

So! Do you want to get a pixel or an illustration?

paying me!

I take payments via paypal, either upfront or invoice, whatever youd like! I can also do ko-fi.
I will now accept discord nitro, for $10 pixels! I do not accept other gift cards.
Large commissions have the option to halve payment before sketch and then send the rest after sketch has been approved. The same isn't true for medium, light, or pixel commissions.You should do "for goods and services" unless you seem as though you know me. Saying anything about covering my paypal transaction fees or doing friends and family could get my paypal account frozen or banned. tip me afterwards if you like my stuff and are concerned!Once you pay, i add you to a queue which i will tell you where you are and an estimated time to recieve a sketch update.PLEASE NOTE: the sketch will be more like a "concept" and will be rough and therefore slightly to moderately altered during completion (keeping all of the same pose and style and such ofc) because there are parts I want to depthen/change perspective of/etc. I can absolutely make something more like the og for you, but the end image may be not exactly like the sketch just because I naturally change stuff as I polish. If you are unhappy with that, I will refund 100% of your money, as I will quit working with you out of a lack of confidence- sorry! ^^; you still have full rights to the sketch so long as you credit me.I only do art trades with people I follow (feel free to ask if I do). I will not take any haggle prices and I only do commissions for real money, not virtual currency or cryptocurrency.

I will only take refunds before or during the sketch stage. I implore you to make sure you will be financially stable through the entire process ahead of time before commissioning so that refunds will not have to happen.

i think thats it! again message me with any questions!! also PLEASE tell me if this is not accessible in any way! your interest, communication and tip$ r appreciated ^.^cute sexy fonts brought to u by cooltext.com
