1. Can I take your order please? Here's how to order.

-- You Might Be Thinking - "Cool, tell me whassup."
-- I Say to You - Why the hell did I format this bit this way? Anyway, here's how do:
-- After you've reviewed my ToS, please assemble all of your order information. This includes, but is not limited to:
--- A full, detailed description.
--- Any and all necessary references.
-- Send an email with your commission idea to orderup@hoagiearts.com.
-- Once we've settled on pricing and details, I'll send you an order form. Submit that form, send those funds, await that art.

2. I'll post a journal or submission saying I'm open. I'm only going to open a few slots at a time so as not to get overloaded.

-- You Might Be Thinking - "But Amara! What happens if you run out of slots? How do you choose who gets in and who doesn't for that set of slots?!"
-- Good question! I Say to You - In order to even be considered, you need to email me at orderup@hoagiearts.com. I'll be reviewing requests in the order they are received and making my decisions from there, with early birds taking priority. In other words, first come first considered. For example, if I only open up 2 slots, but I get 5 requests that I approve of, only the first two of those emails will get into those slots. As another example, if I only open up 2 slots, but I get 5 requests and only approve of requests 2, 4 and 5, then 2 and 4 will be slotted. See? (Note: opened slots will be general. I.E. any commission quality level would be accepted there. If I get through commissions quickly and free up before the month is too far gone, I may open up more slots for that month.)
-- Important Note: If you don't get chosen for that given month, don't fret. I'll be replying with reasons why (and it's MOSTLY going to be "hey my slots filled up for this month, sorry"). I am NOT going to be doing wait lists since that's not really fair to anyone involved, and this means that you must email regarding the particular batch of slots you're looking to get in on. Just the most fair way I can come up with to handle things - if other suggestions come up, I may consider those too!
-- Also Important: I'll be including a new keyword with every batch. Include that keyword in your subject line when you send that initial request!

3. Different types of slots will be open as time goes on.

-- You Might Be Thinking - "Whuzzat supposed to mean...?"
-- I Say to You - Most of the time, I'll be opening single-image commission slots. Since they're so time consuming, slots for sequences will be opening as their own thing but opening less frequently. Basically, I'll be labeling commission slots if they're anything special such as telegram stickers, sequences, comics, or even animations. If you see no label, it's probably just a single image slot. If you're confused, feel free to ask! I'm always happy to answer.

4. These commissions are separate from my sketch streams, which are held on Sunday (and sometimes Monday) nights. Though, I allow sketches from said streams to be upgraded via this method.

-- You Might Be Thinking - "Upgrade? I can upgrade??"
-- I Say to You - Why yes you can! Simply by paying the difference on a given piece, you can upgrade that sketch into any of the other slots you like. For example, say you previously bought a $20 single-character rough sketch. If you'd like to upgrade it to flats, that will cost you $60. It's easy :D

5. Clarification Re: Some of the Below Terminology

-- High Detail: This includes, but is not limited to, things like armor, ornate designs, lots of visible scales, wings, etc.
-- MEGA Detail: This includes, but is not limited to, things like mecha, androids, guns, etc.
-- These are generally things that cause me to take a ton of extra time on the piece you've ordered. I apologize for any inconvenience fees like this may cause.
