Commission Information

Basic Terms

  • Listed prices are for artworks that are for personal use only. Unauthorized reproduction through means such as resale or use in machine learning is prohibited.

  • The listed prices are my minimum asking rates. Most projects usually receive a tailored final asking price in the end.

  • Artwork intended for professional or project use will have significantly higher asking prices.

  • I typically share finished work in my portfolios and on social media unless told otherwise.

  • If you share the finished art yourself, please credit me by name. Please do not erase my signature.

  • Final asking prices are influenced by factors such as design faithfulness, complexity, level of challenge, and anything beyond my repertoire or skill set.

  • Final artwork is typically exported in JPG or PNG formats.

  • What I am generally comfortable with drawing: fan art, original characters, providing assistance with character design (please expect an extra fee added to your total), and anything that I appear to specialize in.

  • What I am uncomfortable drawing: uncomfortable subject matter, mechanical designs, technical designs, violence, things without visual references, and more.

  • I will frown on being asked to do major revisions whenever the project is close to being completed. In the event when such major revisions are required, I will wish to negotiate for a revision fee. This fee should be paid upfront.

  • I do not offer refunds if I have made significant progress on the commission.
