COMMISSIONS ARE CURRENTLY: CLOSED
EXAMPLES AND PRICING:
PRICING:
All commission types will have a base deposit that must be received in order to begin work. Once that has been received, commissions are priced based on a $20/hour guide (rounded up to the nearest 15-minutes). When working on a commission, a stopwatch is kept on to record exact time, and those times are logged to keep track. This includes time doing the commission, and time spent doing any requested revisions. When your commission is completed, your total time will be tallied up and converted into a dollar price. The price of your deposit will be subtracted from the total, and you will pay the remainder.
(For example: You order a colored, shaded picture with a simple background. Your deposit is $30. Total time spent working ends up being 4 hours - $80. You pay the remaining $50, and then the completed picture is given to you.)
If you have a specific set limit on how much you would like to spend, let me know in advance what your maximum is - for example if you tell me you want to spend $40 on a commission, I'll let you know what i think I'd be able to get done for you in that allotted 2 hours. It is imperative you let me know up front if you want to set a limit on price/time, or if you want to have me work until I feel it is complete - I am fine with working within a set limit, but keep in mind that if that is the case, it will place limits on how much I can do. It is up to you.

If you have an idea for an image type, style, or add-on that is not listed here, such as a piece in my gallery you like the style of, feel free to message me for a price estimate. I am always willing to try new things and am happy to help work with you if you have a specific idea in mind.
ADD-ONS:
Shading can be done either as cell shading, painted shading, or gradient shading. Cell shading normally takes an additional 30-60 minutes to add, while painted and gradient shading can add normally 1-2 hours.

ToS:
PAYMENT:
I only take payments via Paypal in USD - no mailed cash or checks, no trades, no gift cards or credit. This is non-negotiable.
I cannot do payment plans. If you know you have a limit on how much you want to spend, let me know up front so I can work within your budget. If you give me free reign to do as much as I want with an image and then say you cannot pay for all of it, you will not be allowed to receive your image until payment has been received in full.
My prices are non-negotiable. Please do not haggle, I will not work with you. Additionally, I do not accept payments from 3rd-party accounts - you must pay me with your personal PayPal account, not someone else's or a shared one. I will send you an invoice for commission payments - do NOT send me money first, and especially do not send it as a "gift." Gifting me money puts my Paypal account in bad standing and risks being fined.
CANCELLATIONS AND REFUNDS:
All payment made on commissions, including the initial deposit and payment for hours worked, is non-refundable. I will do frequent check-ins to make sure the image is to your liking, so I cannot refund you for work I've already put in that you've approved.
If you need to back out of a commission, please tell me as soon as possible so I know to halt work on your order. I am happy to put your image in 'storage' for if you'd like to re-order the commission at a later time, but I will require payment for whatever work I have already done (for example if I have done 3 hours worth of work on an 8 hour commission, I still need payment for those 3 hours).
If you need to cancel a commission, please send me a FA note as soon as possible. I do not check my e-mail frequently and notes are faster to get a hold of me.
As the artist, I have the right to refuse a commission for any reason, at any time - including while the commission is in progress. If the commission is in progress and I no longer wish to continue working on it with you, I will refund you in full, regardless of completion level. If you refuse a refund after I state I wish to drop the commission, I will consider your payment a donation to me.
If I send you a question or WIP while I'm working on your commission and do not hear back from you in 30 days, I will consider the project abandoned by you and will halt all work until I hear back from you and you have paid for whatever work has been done so far. It is YOUR responsibility to keep me updated if you change accounts/contact info.
ACCEPTABLE SUBJECT MATTER:
Below is a list of things that I consider myself proficient and/or comfortable in drawing:
-Animals, any species
-Fantasty animals, any species
-Weres, anthros, taurs, transformations, and furries
-Minor to moderate amounts of gore (surface wounds, blood, fighting)
-Discreet nudity (no genitalia)
-Organic and natural backgrounds
Below is a list of things that I certainly can draw if requested, but do not consider myself particularly efficient with. If you want one of these to be the main focus of your commission, you may be better off finding a different artist who specializes in them as these will slow your commission significantly:
-Humans/humanoids
-Guns
-Mechanical objects (cars, machines, mechs, robots, etc)
Below is a list of things I will NOT draw. If your commission must feature one or more of these, I will not accept your order:
-Anything explicitly sexual (a character nude and censored on a ref is fine. characters with visible genitalia, erections, having sex, etc - not fine)
-Excessive, explicit violence (i.e. heads exploding, innards falling out)
-Racially/demographically offensive material
-Detailed Veins or hearts
-Fetishes or anything related to them (i.e. characters rubbing their feet, in lingerie, vore, etc)
-Tattoo designs (I am NOT comfortable with my work being used as a tattoo)
-3rd-party copyrighted characters (ie. Pokemon, MLP, anime characters, video game characters, real people, etc)
TIMING:
While I can't guarantee that I will get your commission done lightning-fast, I will try my best to get your order to you in a timely manner. Please note that depending on the type of art you order, your waiting time will increase/decrease - for example, a simple sketch will take much less time than a colored image with a detailed background. Due to the unpredictabilities of life, commissions may take upwards of 2-3 months; if they go longer than that I am usually able to offer discounts as compensation. However I try to keep to a turnaround time of under one month.
You will get as many WIPs of the picture as you feel is necessary Typically I give one for rough sketches (to choose a pose/composition you like), one for the cleaned sketch (to ensure the character is drawn to your liking), and then the end image which you can tweak to your liking, if needed. You may request more (or less) frequent WIPs, however keep in mind that the more you request/send back, the longer the process takes. I'm happy to communicate as frequently or as little as possible, depending on what you'd like. Please remember that if you elect to not see any WIPs, I am not responsible for you not being satisfied with the final image.
If having a specific deadline is important to you, please specify that WHEN YOU ORDER. It's inconsiderate of you to ask for a commission and send me a note a few weeks later angry at me because it needs to be done right then and there. If you are polite in your explanations I will almost always be more than happy to work with your schedule, but please remember my limitations... I can't paint an entire picture in one day. Allow for time if you have a deadline.
Rush order jobs may incur an additional fee depending on the complexity of your order and how much faster you want it.
CONTACT:
The easiest way to contact me is by sending me a note. I will send you work-in-progress images at the concept, sketched, and colored stages so you can verify everything is correct and/or suggest changes you'd like. When completed, I will send you the finished image and a high resolution copy of the image.
I am always willing to work with the customer so the final image is exactly to your liking. That being said, please try to be as specific as you can when offering critiques, and have photo/art references if necessary to help you explain. If your critiques are vague or contradictory, it only adds to your total time log for the image, so it benefits both of us to be as concise as possible.
While I'm happy to go back and forth as much as you'd like to ensure your image is satisfactory, excessive contact, harassment, or rude behavior is not tolerated. If I feel you are overstepping your boundaries you will get one warning, and a dropped commission if it continues. Please do not send me notes every few days asking for updates. Every week or two is fine, but be reasonable about it. Rude language and behavior will not be tolerated, period.
USE POLICY:
By commissioning me, you are agreeing to pay me an initial deposit and a total price calculated off how many hours I work on your image. You understand I work at a $20/hr rate and you are responsible for the payment, not a third party. You understand this is non-negotiable and non-refundable. You have read through my ToS and understand my rules. You understand that failure to abide by my ToS can result in forfeiting your right to a refund and public blacklisting.
Upon completion of your order, you will receive two files, one in display size and one in working size (hi-res). You may NOT repost the hi-res file, it is only for your personal private use. You may edit it or use it for icons, layouts, etc, but please do not post the hi-res file itself. You may post the display size file wherever you wish, all I ask is that you please give a link back to my DA/FA page, or at least have my name marked down somewhere. Otherwise, they are yours to use as you please. You are welcome to make your own additions/edits to the image (provided they are not explicit, profane, or derogatory) but if you intend to have another party do any editing/work with the image, you MUST clear it with me beforehand.
If I am particularly satisfied with how an image turns out I may ask to submit it to DA/FA and/or use it in my portfolio; you are free to decline if you want to keep your image private or remain anonymous.
If you are interested in commissioning me and I am open, please note me :) Thank you!

I do agree with Avyris, your commissions are pretty cheap but with the community around you, I think they're pretty reasonable and you'll get a lot of service. I do wish to commission you someday...
I know you are really busy person. I want to say your work is always awesome and I'm thinking o commish you because I like your art. Your skills are awesome! I will commish you but I need a paypal and money... yeah for that I will need to study hard for anatomy and to be an artist... this will be hard life... so I will commish you about 35$ sheet for my future character and maybe one chibi comm ^^
You need to know: I will take these comm when I get money and when you open them.
I will send the money when you want. (When I commish you of course)
