Commissions Types/Rates: (Please read my rules!)
All rates are in USD per character/entity drawn.
Characters:
-One-shot Digital sketch commissions: $45 Color/$25 Lineart - No Feedback Commissions. You tell me what you want, and I draw it without approval of sketches. You will get your drawing within two days of your commission slot date.
-Sketch Digital Commissions with sketch approval feedback: $45 Color/$25 Lineart Base price + $10 per sketch sent for approval. You tell me what you want, I sketch it out, you approve the sketch, revisions are made, repeat as necessary, and I continue with lineart or coloring depending upon your order. Please note that if you wish to add anything extra that was not specified in the original agreed upon image, that you may have to pay extra for those additions. Please note that this method will require more time to finish due to email tag. As I do not have much free time anything beyond your slot time is not guaranteed.
-Digital Livestream Commissions: $50 Color/$35 Lineart - Done by appointment. 2 hour time limit (Note: You are not paying for a two hour block. You are paying for a commission that has a 2hr time limit. Commissioners that intentionally try to use up the time may be charged extra). Livestream slots are currently available on Saturdays as listed on slot opening notices.
-Digital AO Painting Commissions: Start at $160 and require multiple slots. Simple character portraits only.
Background Information:

Addons:
Wings: $10 per character
Special/specific Markings: $5+ per character
Special/Complex/Difficult Clothing or Gear: $5+ per character
Guns: $10 per weapon per character (You must provide reference pics.)
Excessive Tearing/disintegration of clothing (To the point that it causes time delays.) $5-10 extra.
Revisions/Changes/Alterations:
My Errors/Forgotten Specifics/etc: If you tell me you want something specific and I forget to add it, or it's not in accordance to what we agreed upon, I will fix the errors for free. This will be based on the emails and agreement. If you forgot something, see below.
Your Errors/Forgotten Specifics/etc: $10 per issue - If you fail to tell me something about your character before the sketch slot starts, and need me to change it after the piece is finished, it will cost $10 to fix it on the final image. This is for Cell Shaded or Lineart sketch commissions only. Any alterations that need to be made on AO paintings may cost more depending upon the issue.
Contacting me about commissions:
You must send me an email at jakkal@gmail.com. Notes or private messages on sites or chat rooms will not 'count'. You can talk to me or ask questions in notes or chats, but the agreed upon specifics of the commission must be in email.
You may be as thorough as you'd like in your commission requests, however, remember that brevity is the soul of wit. (Don't pad it). Do not send me stories, I just want to know the following:
1. Character species, (References are great). Be sure to tell me if it's anthro or not if you don't have any character reference pics.
2. Character Pose (Refs requested)
3. Any Special markings (Super special markings may cost extra). Again refs requested.
4. Clothing and gear(Complex/difficult clothing may cost extra)
5. If it's a TF, please tell me what you want without giving me a novel sized story about what's going on. Tell me how far advanced you want the TF to be (Please don't just use percentages), let me know if you want any human skin showing and where if it's a human -> animal TF. Also let me know if you want any clothing ripped up.
6. If it's a TF, do you want any magical effects shown?
Do not pay until I acknowledge that I will give you a slot. I will not work on your slot until I get payment in full. I will give instructions for payment via email. Slots will not be assigned until I receive payment.
Commission Rules:
#1. I reserve the right to refuse to take any commission at my own personal discretion.
#2. Commission rate is per character per image. A two character image will cost you double.
#3. One Commission per slot: You can only get one color commission per slot or 5 sequences of lineart (no color). You are allowed to get as many slots as you'd like for the posted schedule.
#4. Alterations/Changes:
One Shot Sketch Commissions: Sketches are not provided in advance for approval. I will take your description and draw it in my style, and send it to you as soon as it's done (Usually on the day of the slot, but no later than midnight of the next night).
Sketch Approval Feedback: If you would prefer to see and approve the sketch before details (Lineart, Color, Shading, etc), it will cost $10 per sketch sent.
Livestream Commissions: One of the benefits to streaming is that you get to see me draw it, in a slightly delayed realtime. Which means, you can make changes if you see there are issues. However, there are steps to the way I work and it's difficult for me to backtrack. So, you are only allowed to ask for changes for the step that I'm on. The process is thus: Pose, Sketch Detail, Lineart, Coloration. I will first draw a rough stick figure or basic body outline for the pose. Once the pose is approved I will work on the details on the sketch stage. At this stage you cannot change the pose but you can change some of the details. Once I hit the lineart, you can't change the pose or anything that would require a re-draw. You can change some of the minor details that the lineart is showing (Such as if I forgot a marking, or a piece of jewelry, or if you want to change pants into a skirt. This is relatively easy). Once I hit the color stage, the pose and lineart are locked. You can change the color choice I use, but that's it. So if you see things you want to be changed, you need to pipe up asap.
#5. Livestream Attentiveness: Because of the nature of the beast with being on the livestream, I need for commissioners to be there and attentive. I do ask questions during the stream to make these as close to what you're looking for as possible. If you go AFK in the middle of the stream, you may get skipped in line, or I may need to move on to the next step while working on your commission. Because these need to be done quickly, you're also limited in the extent of changes you can make. (For example, if you tell me the pose doesn't matter, then want to radically change the pose on the first sketch, you've just wasted my time and everyone else's. Please don't do that.) I would rather you tell me up front exactly what you want if you have something in mind.
#6. Livestream Time Limit: Pics are limited to 2hrs on the stream. Any pics cut after 2 hrs may be finished offstream, which might require an additional cost (See Sketch Commission Slot Prices). If I cause the picture to take too long, I will try to work on it ASAP to get it finished (usually the Sunday after). If I am delayed by excessive changes to the work, too many details in the picture, or a lack of timely responses, I will not be able to finish the image in time. You are only guaranteed up to 2 hours of work. You are not guaranteed anything beyond that. If I feel that a commissioner is asking for too many alterations or detailing beyond a reasonable expectation for a sketch commission, I will move on without approval. Please plan wisely.
#7. You are not purchasing 2 hrs of time. You are purchasing images at a specific per image rate with a time limit. If I feel a commissioner is unreasonably forcing me to take longer, I reserve the right to cut them off so I can finish the image in a timely and efficient manner.
#8. I won't draw anything that is copyrighted unless you are the copyright holder or have permission from the copyright holder. This includes characters (Harry Potter), species (pokemon or Final Fantasy), etc.
#9. I won't draw anything sexual or adult in nature. Gore is okay. Excessive gore probably isn't.
#10. I prefer not to do transgender transformation art.
#11. I won't draw any Black Tapestries based Artwork for commissions.
#12. For Kaerwyn Artwork: I will only draw Kaerwyn based Artwork for current Kaerwyn role players - and only for events as they actually happened in Kaerwyn (or Kaerwyn based RP). Note: Players if you have characters in Kaerwyn that you want me to draw doing things that didn't happen in Kaerwyn, that is fine, as long as it's not implied that this happened in Kaerwyn's RP. For example, I will not draw a picture of your character in a plot that they did not participate in. If you want something similar, we can work it out.
#13. Please understand that you are buying a sketch commission. These are colored or lineart over basic, unrefined sketches. You can send me references (They help tons) but overall you're getting an image that will not have extensive references or have major refinements to correct position, anomalies, perspective, etc. If you are obsessive about details these may not be for you. I will do the best I can in the 2 hrs for the time slot given, but if the commissioner wants constant changes to the image, you will use up all your time and I will be unable to finish on the stream.
#14. Please send me references when available! However, if you send me links to references hosted on a 3rd party site, you are responsible for making sure that site is accessible during the time of the commission. If you send me a link to a reference on a site that is down when your slot comes up, I will not be able to wait for that site to come up. I will continue with your commission as if references were not available. This rule is specifically in regards to Fur Affinity, as I get many, MANY link references and it quite often goes down or becomes inaccessible when I need it. However, this rule applies to any site. If you wish to email me your reference images, that is fine. If a reference site becomes inaccessible, I will email you asking for the references, but I will still need them ASAP and before your slot time has elapsed.
