YCH Commissions - Terms and Clarifications
10 years ago
There were some instances where these terms in my YCHs have needed to be clarified, so I thought I'd write this here so I can provide a link to it in all future auctions.
YCH Commissions - Terms, Rules, and Clarifications
Gender Slot Clarifications
“Feminine” - Slot allows for any character with a female body shape, including females, hermaphrodites, transgender MtF characters. This does not include characters with a male body but who have female genitals instead of male genitals.
“Female” - Female body shape possessing only female genitals.
“Character With A Penis” - Refers to the traditionally male role in a scene. In my auctions, this slot can be taken by a purely male character, but also by any character with a penis which might otherwise qualify as “feminine”, including women who buy penises from stores and wear them on their bodies.
“Male” - Male body shape possessing only male genitals.
“Any Gender” - All of the above and everything else you can imagine in your fevered brain.
Exceptional Weirdness Clause
For all YCHs, I reserve the right to invoke the exceptional weirdness clause, where something is so bizarre and unforeseen and strange, that I don’t want it associated with my work. If you need clarifications about a character, always ask prior to bidding. Don’t think this is too restrictive. Something *really* has to be very “out there”, or ugly, or painful to look at, or just disgusting, to get me to use this. This is also to prevent strange non-humanoids, odd monsters, assorted grotesqueries, or obese characters, from inserting themselves into and “breaking” pre-drawn poses and scenes, or just turning off most people (the artist included).
Settings and Atmosphere Clause
Most YCHs won’t ever need this. For those that do, I will announce it on the YCH image file itself, as well as in the image description beneath. Some images may attempt to invoke a specific kind of feeling or atmosphere, and therefor may be inappropriate for certain types of characters, or specific clothing that a bidder wants. This clause is designed to prevent characters and clothing from destroying whatever feeling or atmosphere the image is trying to convey. The explanation of the setting and criteria for character types will usually be explained with the YCH.
Thanks!

Thanks!
fantastic. haha.
Also, exceptional weirdness clause. Excellent.
MtF's that changed their mind and went back?
For science.
...Or FtEminem!
o-o
I'm also okay not having one of those characters. :V

Is there a leeway in permitting the character to be drawn with a feminine body build if it's original is too masculine for the images intended depiction.
IN general I try not to break a character's model when including them in a commission. People will think I drew them wrong, or it will just otherwise feel strange breaking their design just because you wanted very badly to squeeze them into a YCH role.
Well besides that, really hope to get art from you someday :)
Someday..
Been in commissions where that would have been great to have had/used. ._.
