Commission policy updates--looking for input

COMMISSIONS ARE CURRENTLY CLOSED - I will open when the current batch is finished



UPDATING MY COMMISSION POLICY-LOOKING FOR WHAT PEOPLE THINK OF IT

Commission and personal professional art policy july 2015



-To make things as simple as possible please keep the descriptions of your desired commission short but detailed.

-I will not draw a commission for anyone under the age of 16, and with a parent/guardian’s permission until 18 years or older. However the parent may commission on behalf of a child of any age. I do this off of an honor system kids. It's just really hard to work with some young people.

-Payment via paypal for goods and services only unless otherwise agreed upon.

-I will show when my commissions are open on my artistic profiles in the most up to date journal.





—what I will draw/make

-any human/animal species/hybrid/android whatever. You name it, I’ll do my best

-any medium. I can do it. Some things like a fursuit part commission I may quote you a price including the materials. A custom resin mask for example costs about $90 in materials.

-animal transformation, and certain pg specialties are okay.

-I can write too :)


—what I will not draw

-excessive violence. I will not draw something that would exceed a basic mature filter for blood and violence. As an idea a werewolf having just taken down a deer, or a simple action shot is my maximum limit. I once had someone request some nasty stuff. No, just no.

-pornography of any kind including “soft” porn. This means that I am uncomfortable drawing super skimpy swimgear, lingerie, and underwear pinups. All no no for me. I find pornography demeaning, destructive, and flat out evil. May I recommend another artist for that.

-anything involving alcohol, cannabs, tobacco, or drugs in any sort of positive or partying light. These things have destroyed or harmed the lives of many good friends of mine. To me they are evil and I refuse to promote them.

-I am less inclined to draw long comics. Keep it short if you want to commission one from me please.

-gay couples. A hug sure, but not anything more than that. I am personally uncomfortable drawing this for religious and personal reasons. I am not hating on anyone, nor criticizing a lifestyle. In fact I have a few friends who are gay. I just prefer not to draw this. May I recommend another artist for this request.

-for transformation art, I will not draw a gender swapping TF. To me that is sick and wrong.

-No vore, latex or goo, or any other fetishes.

-I RETAIN THE RIGHT TO DENY A COMMISSION FOR ANY REASON.



—Trades, requests, and “free” art.

-For art trades I will tell you if I am interested in working on an art trade with you or not. Usually I will say no unless you are a friend or around my skill level.

-requests are no no except for a short list of very close friends. Some people were there for me when I was on my LDS mission writing letters, others helped me through a very rough part of my life. They know who they are. So unless I have told you that you can, please do not ask.

-free art that I offer to people is my own choice and up to my judgement. I am a nice guy and maybe offer this too much. If you go fishing for it your answer will be no.



—Interacting with me

-RP is super uncomfortable beyond certain limits, and beyond a close group of friends. Therefore I either have to have known you for a long time and am comfortable with it, or you can do nothing more than you would be comfortable with in front of your grandma. Basically, please don’t. You would know if you can.

-I do not like to answer notes or comments which just say “hi.” at least add a “how are you?” to it.

-do not be creepy or rude. I do block people.

-I sometimes am slow with art. I am in college with a lot on my plate. I will be working on commissions as effectively as I can. If asked for a Work In Progress I will gladly show you. Please give me some time between asking for updates.

-I may simply not answer or block obscene rude or troll comments. If you have a beef with me please note me.



Refund policy. I will be willing to refund any client if the piece has not already begun to be colored or nearing completion. Because I am more than willing to show WIPs I do not consider it fair to compete a piece and have the client ask for a refund. However, it is within their rights to ask for weeks and corrections free of charge.



Thank you all! I’m wishing you the best!
