Commission Rules
16 years ago
General
Well some of you may be wondering, but yes, I do commissions and trades. If you're interested you could just drop me a note and I'll give you my prices. But before any of that, I want to go over some rules, because some people have been bugging me.
To all my paying customers so far on FA, you're all great, so don't worry, none of you did anything wrong. I'm very happy everyone is so understanding and patient, which is hard to say on other websites.
1.) No, I DON'T draw freebees unless I want to do it on my own. If you ask me for a freebee, you wont get one. I draw other characters I like as gift art on my own terms and according to my own liking. And don't beg for 'just a sketch' either. I can't just sketch up something quick and waste a page in my art book for something I don't even like. (yes, some people have done this)
2.) Be patient. I don't mind if you check in every once in a while and ask 'how's it coming along?' By every once in a while I mean maybe every few days, not every hour or every single day. And don't get all depressed if I say I'm not done yet. People, I have a life outside of drawing you know, I have to do unusual things like, oh I don't know, eating, trying to keep a social life with the few friends I have, trying to find work, drawing my own art for my own amusement so that I can stay up to par with myself in order to continue good quality commissions....
3.) No sob stories or guilt trips if I don't give you what you want exactly when you want. I'm a nice person, really, and if you want a friend to talk to that's fine. But I'm not happy about people going "My grandma died, I'm sad, draw me something free/speed up your commission/let me see what you have so far" If you're REALLY sad, you'd want to talk about it to someone, not harass other people to draw freebies for you. If you're a friend, and I know you aren't feeling well, and I know it will cheer you up, I might draw you a get well picture, but NOT if you bring it up and beg for it like it's the only thing in the world that would make you feel better.
4.) I do not start commissions until they are payed for. I might make an exception if I'm bored and want to do the commission, but I will not post it up nor will I give it to you without payment. I've been duped 80 dollars in the past for something like that, and I don't want it happening again. So if you havn't payed/done anything for a trade, I wont tolerate begging. If you want to commission me and can't pay at the moment, then please, by all means, tell me what you had in mind, and when you can, pay and tell me you did, then I'll be more than happy to draw for you.
5.) Understand that I might not meet a deadline that I originally set. Though I tend to keep to my word, lately I've been over stressing myself and I need to kick back and space out commissions more so I can enjoy a bit of my own drawings and my own life. If I take more than a month, please message me, because unless I'm swamped with commissions, I should never take that long. But don't message me with an angry note or something like that, just ask what's going on and I'll tell you. And then I'll work something out so that we can get the commission done in a reasonable time.
6.) I am willing to draw ANYTHING commissioned, inflation, guro, cub, incest, herms, you name it. I might have trouble drawing something new and I'll tell you if I've drawn it before or not, but don't be shy. I don't reject a commission, I only reject the commissioner if they're being unreasonable.
7.) Returning commissioners may get discounts if I really enjoyed commissioning with them. These are people who are very nice, understanding, and patient. The less stress I go through, the better it is for all of us, and a discount is a form of thank you for helping my life be a little easier. Don't ask for discounts though, I'll tell you if you get one on my own.
8.) I have the right at any time to reject or cancel a commission. If you're going to be a jackass about it, I wont do it for you. If you already payed, this does NOT mean I'm your 'art bitch' at your beck and call, DO NOT harass me about your commission or you wont get it. Just because YOU want your commission right away doesn't mean you'll get it, you're most likely in a line of other commissions and you need to wait your turn. If I cancel, I'll send the money back and that will be that.
Remember everyone, I'm a human/fur too. Just because you're paying me to draw for you doesn't mean I should be treated like a servant.
Thanks everyone, happy commissioning! ^^

it's very sad (and no doubt extremely annoying) that some people think they can break these rules by talking at someone until they give in.
WOMAN YOU ARE AS FAST AS ME WITH THAT TRADE.
Do not think I have forgotten.
