F.A.Q.s for Darkara-Feaioux
14 years ago
General
~I'd like to commission you, but I don't have enough money right now. Is that going to be a problem?
I won't start on a commission until I receive payment. However, if you need to pay me in installments we can work something out.
~Do you ever do any discounts?
I will be doing discounts around major holidays, yes. There might be a few sales spontaneously throughout the year, but those will be at my discretion.
~What's your turn around like?
I do what I can to get my commissioners their art pretty quickly, but it really is a case by case basis. If I can, I make it my goal to get their work back to them within a week. With some projects, though, that just isn't going to happen.
~If someone commissions you and then half way through decides on something else or scraps the whole thing altogether, what do you do? Is there a refund?
If my commissioner wanted some changes made, I would make them so long as I haven't started the colouring process yet. (this goes especially for traditional art) If they cancel the project altogether, I either scrap the piece or change it into something I could use; make it a personal piece. But they would not receive the artwork nor would they get their money back if I've already started and am beyond the sketch stage.
~What are your boundaries? What won't you draw?
Porn. Sensuality and nudity are completely acceptable, but I will not put intercourse in my art. I also won't do fetishes, like scat, vore, and certainly not anything related to sexualized children or youthful characters. But if you're looking for a naked pic of your character, I'll draw it. :)
~What about your style? Doesn't that hinder your creativity?
Not at all. I stick to anthro art if I'm not working with humans, as opposed to furry art. However, if the furry style is completely mandatory I will draw it.
~What's the difference between furry and anthro?
Furry remains closer to its human side, whereas anthro remains closer to its animal side. Anthros are digigrade, (meaning their legs are structured and jointed like that of a cat, dog, or horse, and they only walk on the balls of their feet) while furries are plantigrade (meaning the whole foot touches the ground and the legs extend straight up and down, like humans) Furries tend to have full heads of hair, like humans, whereas anthros either have no hair on their heads at all, or have native-looking, stylized hair growth. (think of a natural wolf. it doesn't have bangs and curls)
~Do you draw breasts on your characters then? Doesn't seem like an anthro thing.
I will and I do, but not all the time. Personally, I like both styles and understand arguments for both sides. No animals in the wild have breasts like humans except maybe apes, so to put them on an animal character doesn't make sense. However, these characters are not completely animal and do have human attributes, so breasts are plausible.
~I noticed your price sheet does not include character sheets. Does that mean you don't draw them?
Nope. I can do character sheets for anyone who asks. Just make sure that you provide me with plenty of details and visual references, if you have them, of your character. No use making a ref sheet that's inaccurate. I charge $18 for a basic sheet, which includes one full-body shot, stats and brief literature on the character, and three accessories or weapons that the character might regularly carry. For additional features, like multiple head shots, extra accessories, genitalia, and multiple full-body views, I charge an extra $3 per feature.
~I've heard about a dragon species, Deep Space Dragons. Do they belong to you?
Though I have a lot of them in my gallery, no, they do not belong to me. They belong to my mate,
gabrielle-wolf
~Can I have one of my own?
Sure. Just make sure you do your research if you're going to design your own. If you don't want to design your own, you may commission either myself or Gabrielle to create one for you. This gives you the rights to your new character, the ability to post our art or the dragon anywhere online (so long as you credit the species to its creator), use it in RPs, and make new art or have new art commissioned featuring the dragon if you choose. If you want to commission either Gabrielle or myself, Gabrielle charges $25, and I charge $20. This gives you a flat colour, single view piece. Another option would be to adopt a dragon. There currently are 6 adoptables available, $8 each. These come pre-designed and equipped with names. They can be found here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/7371685/
~Will you design an original character for me?
If you're willing to pay for it, I'll design a character for you. Prices would depend on what you're looking for though. I pride myself on being pretty cheap, but I am not a fool. If you're truly interested, feel free to contact me privately. :)
~What is a therian?
A therian is someone born with the soul of an animal within their vessel. It can be any animal from anywhere around the world. A therian does not choose their theriotype, though. That is something they must discover. It is nothing like having a fursona. You cannot just decide to be a fox or another animal because you like them. It takes meditation and soul searching to truly understand what you are, if you are a therian at all. Not everyone is, but it is something you are born as, not something you become later in life. (however, you might not be aware of it immediately. I for one did not know until very recently, and I am 20 years old)
~Where can I learn more?
Well, the internet is a good place. Just be sure not to confuse a therian with a lycanthrope. Also, if you have other questions, feel free to contact
gabrielle-wolf for questions, as she understand the topic far better than I ever will. There's also a group over on deviantart that you might find interesting and helpful. If you have an account and think you might be a therian, you can join the group and discuss therianism in the chat room. http://therian-pride.deviantart.com/
~Are you a therian?
A recently awakened one, yes. I am a black panther
