FAQ

WHY ARE PRICES SO HIGH?
At the current time, I am a full-time post-secondary student and my only source of income is from being a freelance artist. I charge by an estimate of how long it will take me to finish the piece at minimum wage (though even that might be a stretch, considering how long some pieces may take). I understand not everyone can afford my prices, but I'm willing to work out a more affordable price with you. I’m not lowering my prices, but we may find a more affordable option that still suits you! If I feel like I need more work, I'll announce a sale or special prices VIA my social media.
THE STYLE I WANT ISN'T LISTED/I DON'T KNOW WHAT STYLE THIS IS CALLED....
Feel free to DM me with the drawing in the style that you want!! (make sure it's MY drawing, though) and I'll come up with a proper commission price for it or direct you to the right category! No extra fee for this!
I WANT TO COMMISSION DRAWINGS FOR A PROJECT....
IF THE PROJECT IS FREE/NON-PROFIT (eg. visual novel made for fun and practice as a personal project or is made available online for free),
all prices are regular. In the case of sprites for a game, etc., I will only charge a couple extra dollars per expression on a character. For different clothes, I will charge a smaller fraction of the original price. Please contact me for details.
IF THE PROJECT IS COMMERICIAL, Prices will be charged a commercial-use fee, usually double the price of the piece. Please contact me for details.WILL MY PIECE BE SENT TO ME PHYSICALLY?
No, all pieces are digital, but the customer can ask to get the PNG emailed to them.
DO YOU OFFER REFUNDS?
Yes, partial refunds are offered, but only before the colouring phase starts. During the sketch phase, Will offer up to 75% refund depending on how much far I've gotten with the sketch. After the sketch phase, I won't start the colouring phase until I reach out to the customer to get an OK.
CAN YOU DO SPEED ORDERS?
Short answer: Yes.
Long answer: all commissions will take from a few hours to perhaps several weeks, depending on my schedule and the piece difficulty. Please contact me if there is a deadline you would like to set so I can check it is possible for me. Usually I will do it without the extra charge, but it really depends on my schedule. The minimum amount of time needed is 24 hours from when the payment of the invoice. There may be an extra charge on the piece depending on the time of deadline and complexity of the piece(s).
CAN I USE YOUR ART AS A HEADER/ICON/PERSONAL USE?/CAN I POST THE COMMISSION?
Yes. If you can credit me in your bio, etc. then feel free to use the commissioned piece as part of your layout. You can also repost the piece as long as there is credit and you aren't claiming to be the artist. Also, feel free to use a piece you paid for in an edit or your own personal creative project.
WILL YOU POST THE COMMISSION?
Yes and no. I will always ask before using your commission as an example for my future commissioners or posting your commission publicly (I will usually ask at the end, once the finished product is sent to you and you are satisfied with the finished product). I typically do not post commissions of original characters on my social media pages, but may occasionally ask to use it as an example (such as on the pages on this site). If your order was fanart, I may ask if it is OK to post the result. Of course, it is always okay to decline.
CAN YOU DRAW A REFERENCE PAGE FOR MY OCS?
For OCs, I can draw reference pages as long as there are sufficient references in existence already. This doesn't necessarily mean a full drawn piece of your OC, though that would be easiest. We can work together and "frankenstein" references (such as IRL photos of clothes, piccrew images, parts of other existing characters) together until it looks right. Depending on how detailed your current references are, I may have to charge extra for communication.
Please remember I am not a designer, I simply draw what I am asked to draw.

ABOUT PRICING

Prices are based off of number of hours it takes me to finish the work at minimum wage.
I will sometimes (rarely) promote discounted commissions on social media.
Extra fees are sometimes charged, here is a quick and simplified look at how extra charges are calculated (please be aware that these prices change depending on situation!).
The range is proportional to the commission's base price.
complex design:
$3 to $15
Props:
$3 to $9
Background (won't be complex):
$10 to $25
Commercial use fees:
+50% to +100% price (AFTER ALL OTHER EXTRA FEES HAVE BEEN CALCULATED)
(inversely proportionally charged)
eg. a chibi sketch for 12 USD will be charged a 100% fee (final: 24 USD), while a full body/full colour art for 70 USD will be charged a 50% fee (final: 105 USD)
All extra characters are charged individually (unless stated otherwise)
