Signal Boost! Otter Orgy + Story Commissions :3
Posted 11 years agoHey ya'll! My friend
heraledro is putting together a huge group orgy commission for all you awesome otters out there!
Though if it doesn't fill up with those adorable furballs, then I believe other species will be allowed!
For more info, go check out his journal here: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/5807404/
And while I'm signal boosting, another friend
gojithefox is taking on some story commissions
(both clean and adult!) You guys should definitely check him out, he writes super awesome stuff!
For more info on those stories, go here:
http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/5805616/
Last but not least I will be opening for commissions in a few hours, so keep tuned folks!
MOVING TO A NEW ACCOUNT!!! *PLEASE READ*
Posted 11 years agoHey guys! So I've got some super important news! I'm going to be changing to a new username!
Don't worry, I'm still going to be active and taking commissions, through both usernames until I've got my popularity up on my new account, and I wont be removing anything from this gallery. In fact only new art is going to be posted under my new username!
Which btw, is HIGSBY!
I'm still working on redesigning my image and all that, but I figured I should go ahead and get people to follow me over there.
So I repeat, as I make this transition, I'll be cross posting journals and info about commissions as well as a few reminders and watermarked new art to drag all you stragglers to my new account.
Also any future art will be posted to my new account, including all commissions and personal art. Only previews will be posted here from now on :D
So why a new name you ask? Or perhaps thought? Well. I've been thinking about it for a looooong time. Bastian was a name I created way back in high school, that held a much different meaning for me then than it does now. Particularly now. And along with this change I am also changing my fursona, aptly named Higsby who is a deer. He's a character I created a while ago, and I sort of feel in love with it more than my otter. (It's gotta be those antlers and hooves... and tail... and fluff) :D
More or less, it felt like things were becoming stagnant and stale, and I just needed to make a complete overhaul, and a fresh start! That being said, I look forward to seeing you all follow me over to my new account and have a kick ass fresh start!

Future of Commissions! When I'll open and more info
Posted 11 years agoHey ya'll. So recently I did a sort of trial run for wing-it commissions that, although still took me two weeks to complete per piece, that was caused by loads more distractions than I had anticipated and a fair bit of depression. (seriously no worries, I'm fine now) And what I've decided from that is I would definitely like to continue doing them, but make a few changes in what I offer. For instance, I am going to cut back a bit on the shading, and make it a simpler style. (of which I'll have an example or two when the time comes). Although I like my style as is, I spend way too long on each piece. Which means either simplify what I make or raise prices. And instead of the latter, I am going to work on simplifying.
So simplifying my style aside, most everything else is going to stay the same, and I am going to attempt to reduce my turn around dramatically. *fingers crossed* But I will not be offering any commissions until next month, as I am spending the rest of this one working and researching going to college again for animation (another excellent reason for me to work faster).
Oh and to anyone who I refunded a few months back, if you are still interested in a commission from me by the beginning of next month I will give you a priority spot in my upcoming rounds. Don't worry about contacting me about it until then though please!
And as for all else, no I wont be taking a waitlist, or rather if I do, it'll open same time as my commissions.
Also I am always interested in customers opinions (past, present and future). So I have a couple of questions for those who would be willing to give some much appreciated feedback!
How do you feel about first come first serve vs. artist picking people at random for their commission queue?
Would you be more tempted to commission me if I offered linearts or flat color commissions as well? (still in a wing-it style)
Would you like to see more YCH auctions from me?
I am considering offering 3 character commissions, is anyone interested in that?
Oh and more Art/Critique related: What do you feel is something I could personally improve on in my art?
(don't worry about hurting my feelings, I'd like to know what others view my weaknesses as)

FUCK YEAH! NEW TABLET :D
Posted 11 years agoAfter about a week of troubleshooting I finally got my new Wacom Cintiq to start working! OMG I've been long overdue for an upgrade, and this baby is so sweet. I'll post a picture later of my new set up! Can't wait to start working with this. Oh gosh! haha
And now that my life is relatively drama free yet once again, I can probably start pumping out commissions! And unless I procrastinate a bit, I should be able to finish all but one of them by the end of next weekend!
Oh and in other exciting news, I'm making plans to go to Megaplex! And to fund that, I'll be taking on some themed digital badges, either for shipping or pick up at the con, but I probably won't take any there! Sorry mates, I go to cons for pleasure, not business! Haven't worked out the details just yet, but to ensure I finish them in time, I'll be taking them after I finish this set of commissions, along with another slot or two for the wing its probably.
Last but not least, HAPPY EASTER!

What Goes On In Your Brain When... Meme!
Posted 11 years agoI never do memes. So I figured why not!
Commissions:
1. Knowing you still have several full colored commissions to do even after you just finished one: *cracks knuckles* Ok lets do this!
2. A commissioner wants to watch you do their commission: Ehhhhh. I never streamed because of poor equipment, but I get nervous when people watch :O
3. You are working on a commission: Hmm... I wonder what this would look like if I drew a dick on it.
4. You are working on an adult commission: *selects dick and plays with size* HYPER PENIS TINY PENIS HYPER PENIS TINY PENIS
5. You are working on a fetish specific adult commission: HYPER PENIS TINY PENIS...
6. You get a well written essay from a commissioner: Ehh.. Your idea sounds really great and erotic and all, but what you are describing requires me to draw something that will look weird.
7. You get only a single sentence from a commissioner: Yes! I hope you like what I draw! *somewhat nervous*
8. You get the proper balance of explanation/ decent reference pictures from a commissioner: Yes! You've given me enough detail to still make this my own and know what I'm making is what you want :D
9. A commissioner starts his/her idea with, "I'm not sure if you do this... but.": Hmm, lets see... *becomes over accommodating*
10. A commissioner uses specific color words like 'puce, chartreuse, cornflower blue, amaranth, cadmium (orange, green, red), etc.): Pfft. No worries. Let me just google that.
11. You don't like how a commission is turning out, but the commissioner does: ffff... What the commissioner wants is what the commissioner gets even if I am not happy with it. *Is way too critical of my own work anyways*
12. You love what you've done with a commission: FFFFFFUCK I can't wait to see what people think about this one!!
For yourself:
13. You have time to draw whatever you want for yourself, and no inspiration: Wait what? People have time to draw for themselves? Theoretically I'd feel guilty.
14. A commissioner wants to use one of your characters in their picture: Hell yeah! I get to draw my otter! Or deer that no one knows about, and will someday draw when I have the aforementioned free time.
15. You want to draw but your drawing hand disagrees: *pulls out a knife* Ok hand, we can do this the easy way, or the hard way. Your choice bub.
16. You have too much to do to do personal art: Story of my life
17. You have that idea that just will not come out right on the picture: Yeah sounds about right, 90% of the time. It's why I draw slow often.
18. Listening to music and drawing whatever the hell you want: Wow look at the time fly. I've apparently been drawing for 5 hours straight.
19. Your tablet stops working or you break/run out of lead for your favorite pencil: FFFFFFFFFF *RAMPAGE*
20. You want to draw for yourself, but you should be working on a commission: Sometimes personal art wins if the emotions are there or the need is strong enough. But that happens like almost never
21. A slow day in your sketch stream: Sounds like every day in my non-existent stream.
For the Pornz:
22. Cocks: *licks lips* Can I draw some more?
23. Vaginas: eh. No offense ladies, I'm not too great at drawing them. :P I always like to learn though.
24. Double Penetration: Well, I never! Actually I've never drawn that before. The logistics of drawing a threesome blow my mind.
25. Tentacle Porn: FUCK YES. They are so fun to draw. Not really a fetish of mine, but god, they are so fun.
26. Questionably moral content: That's a bit vague. I wont draw anything against my own morals if that's what you are getting at.
27. Gore: Non-porn gore I suppose. Zombie's are cool. But like. In porn it's just weird.
28. Vore: ahhhh noooo........ Goes against my morals of drawing anatomy that doesn't make sense.
29. Herms, transgender, transexuals: Hm.. Intriguing. So you have boobs and a dick you say? *pervy face*
30. Girly bois.: Fo-sho
31. Manly girls: ehhhh... Slightly muscular chicks are alright, but If your talking super ripped weightlifter types nah...
32. BBW/ BBM: I'm alright with different body types. I need more experience with them honestly. So long it's not extreme,
33. Strap-ons: Ohhh that sounds like a lot of fun.
34. Cum: Now when you said you wanted them cumming, you meant flooding the room right? :3
35. Bondage: Fuck yes that gear is fun to draw. Thank god I'm not in it because I have some kind of phobia of not being able to move tho.
36. Straight sex: Yay
37. Gay Sex: Double yay!
38. Lesbian sex: Uhm. So like... How do I draw this?

ferloo and so many more! You guys made this year super cool. Top it all off I placed 5th in the poker tournament! Might not mean a whole lot, but for a rather inexperience player to make final table, and win a free membership for next year, it was definitely worth it! Either way I had a hell of a time at the tournament as well, congrats to the winners, and everyone else who played! I look forward to kicking your ass's next year! ;3
Also, for those of you who missed it, the Monday night dinner was awesome! The food was incredible, and it totally sucks for you that you didn't get any! :P So if ya'll are around Monday night next year, you should definitely come out to dinner with everyone!
So guys, I hope everyone else had a fantastic time! Tell me how your FWA experience was if ya'll went!

question about badges?
Posted 11 years agoYo guys, well as it stands I'm definitely not prepared to make any, especially for FWA this year. However, I was considering doing them a while back and never found the time for it. I've never done them before either, so I was wondering what is people look for when they get them?
Like do you guys prefer traditional over digital?
Do you like commissioning them during the convention or preorder?
Headshots, torso up, or full body?
Or special themes/styles?
A lot really to go on, and if I plan stuff right I could possibly start doing badges in time for some other conventions, even if I am not able to go. :3
Also! Totally link me to one or two of your favorite badges! Either ones you got or just ones you like in general!

Posted 11 years agoHey ya'll! PAULA DEAN HERE!
Pft.. So I'm taking a handful of Wing-It Commissions, just 4 of them this round, so I can gauge how long it will actually take me to complete a set. I can't honestly give you guys an accurate estimate other than it may be a few days, to hopefully no longer than a week per each. (I've said it before, but I do have a full time job that eats up a lot of my time)
Also, that being said, these are going to be a tad bit different from last time! They are going to be on the same level as the Plutonium Artist commissions I was taking previously, I.E. full color, pretty fancy, and super AWESOME DUDES. :P
So onto the basic info you need:
- Wing-It Commissions! The nature of these commissions is that I am basically in control of the image content! What you get is a fully colored piece of art, similar in quality to my Plutonium Artist Commissions!
- Payment upfront, through Paypal only!
- There are no approval sketches for these types of commissions.
- Image may be either full-body to most likely a from the knee-up pose. If it falls any shorter than that, It may be because I add alternative content, like: pov style, additional random partial characters, or possibly panels. All subject to what works best with the image.
- There are also no changes allowed UNLESS I personally messed up specific details of your character, such as markings, trademark items, or I horribly screwed up anatomy.
PRICES:
- $60 for 1 character
- $100 for 2 characters

Posted 11 years agoHey dudes! About time I posted about the BEST CON EVER (or rather the only con I've ever been to :P)
I'm to lazy to find/fill out a meme while dealing with my chaotic move :P
So yeah, I'll be there and you will be square! I'll be chilling with a bunch of other cool dudes/dudettes.
Sadly I wont be selling prints/commissions/badges yet once again. Every year I swear. I make plans for the next one and stuff comes up! Anywho, if you do see me there you are more than welcome to say hello! pic.twitter.com/pDCFdn4ljN <-- look for that smug mug with a little bit shorter hair and say hay!
I'm super nice for real! And rather shy to be honest! I'm always happy to meet new peeps, and if you are a local fur even better! :3

How do you guys feel about wing-it commissions?
Posted 11 years agoI tried them once before, and I'm not sure how people feel about them in general. If you don't know what a wing-it commission is, its basically you paying an artist to draw whatever they want with your character(s). Which somewhat really appeals to me, the artist. It offers me the opportunity to draw stuff more suited to my strengths, deliver stronger compositions, and create ideas/situations that either just work better or stand out from the average "we're naked and having sex" sort of deal; while also delivering you a quality piece of art that could hopefully surprise you and make you happy.
I think I'm more so worried about what happens if I draw something you hate? And am just curious about how people feel about these in the first place?

Should I become an Archaeologist?
Posted 11 years agoI'm at a point where I can't decide what the hell I want any more, aside from a few basic things. I'm finally getting a car in two weeks, and an apartment the week after that! Which is super rad, and the goal I have been working towards ever since I graduated college. And well, besides that, the only other goal I really have is to go back to college! But for what, I don't know.
I have been really intent since high school that art is what I want, have always wanted, and will always want to do. I'm not to sure of that any more. I'm not going to stop drawing or making other kinds of art either, I wouldn't let these skills go to waste after all. I think part of my doubt has something to do with the job I currently have. I wish I could say it was more interesting than folding t-shirts, but it's really not. That's exactly what I do for 40 hours a week, despite my qualifications to do the actual printing, let alone college degree in the field of printmaking. Talk about over qualified!
Anyways, this archaeology business right? Well one of the things on my mind lately is, what job would make me happy and be excited about going to work when I woke up in the morning? Archaeology sort of seemed to fit the bill. And it's not something that I thought up of on a whim, or pulled out of my ass. It's been something that was rather prevalent in my life for quite some time. Ever since I was a kid, I have always loved the generic movies that I'm sure inspire many of todays archaeologists, Indiana Jones, Tomb Raider, The Mummy, (and even Jurassic Park despite the fact that that is PALENTOLOGY! I know :3 ).
So as a kid with these fascinations, I briefly became obsessed with Egyptology, and did several research projects on Egypt and hieroglyphics in middle school which sadly I barely even remember. But! The funny thing is, despite becoming detached from this obsession/passion, through out college and recently, the ideas and themes of art that I have made and the ideas I have yet to make (due to lack of equipment/time) has a sort of central theme of archaeology attached to it. I won't go into details about that work. To be honest, I have had some of these ideas since I graduated college, but lacked the proper skill to even come close to giving these ideas the kind of physical representation I would demand of myself.
That being said, I have been wondering lately if I should possibly consider a career in archaeology. A career full of meaning, discovery, learning, adventure and so many other wonderful things that when I wake up in the morning, I could feel like what I'm doing is important to some extent. Unlike catching t-shirts off a conveyer belt, or drawing furry porn (despite the fact that it is fun to draw).
I am hesitant in this idea though (ignoring the costs of going to college again and all that other stuff), because I am afraid that it's just too good of a dream to come true, and because I may one day grow bored of it. Its been pointed out to me that I sort of grow bored of things after a few months. (maybe that's why college was always great, new experiences and classes were always just around the corner) But it's possible that the change up between being on a dig, and then doing research, or writing grants, or whatever else may be frequent enough where I am not always doing the same thing for more than several months at a time.
I'm not sure what to think, and could use some input/opinions if anyone read this rather long winded journal!

YCH AUCTION!
Posted 11 years agoOh gosh he's doing that thing again...
Well Long story short this otter needs to get off his lazy ass, and wanted to just take it slow, so instead of opening with commissions, I decided to start an auction!

Other Sites and that jazz
Posted 11 years agoWell since FA is now comparable to the titanic, and the adminstration firmly believing 'this ship can't sink', I figure before all you guys jump ship and leave me playing a sad tune on the violin,
You can find me on sofurry, weasyl, and eventually tumblr. My weasyl is about halfway up to date, so it'll be a little bit before that catches up.
Not going to leave just yet, and I won't be deleting my gallery if I ever do. Just wanted to put this out there. I am switzerland in this matter, and although i do not like the staff's choice for their new member, or what he has done, I am not leaving just yet because I am hesitant to lose the average fanbase I have achieved thusfar. For the most part I am 90% business here, so until I feel I have regained a decent amount of followers who could support any future business I may have, I won't be fully moving.
If I open for a commission slot or two, I plan to set up a google docs sort of thing and to blindly pick commissions at random, so its not going to be first come first serve. Its either that or possibly an auction or two in the near future.

I'm Gay + other news
Posted 12 years agoOh gosh. Uhm. Yeah. Let's go with that.
For years I've been declaring that I'm Bi, and have only been in relationships with girls (except maybe one short online relationship a while ago). I might not be 100% gay. I'm not saying I don't have any attraction towards you girls. But I'm less interested in a relationship with them. And for those of you who don't already know I'm in a gay relationship now :P
<3
<3
I realized lately though, that I have mostly been attracted to guys. And that my either my preferences changed very slowly over the years, or perhaps I have always felt this way and never allowed myself to realize it. I am, shall we say, rather nervous about how people perceive me. Always have been, so admitting I am gay, or at the very least bi, is always hard for me.
So yeah. Why not tell the community of people who already accept that, and quite a few who already think I am haha :3
In other news:
It's likely I will be taking a commission or two sometime next month. (and I mean literally only one or two) At least at a time. Either that or perhaps a your-character-here auction. Not sure yet. Anyways, if and when I do get around to being able to do so, I will be running it a bit differently than I have in the past, so instead of either a waitlist or first come first serve, it'd just be a free for all and I'd pick the ones I'd wanna do! Just a heads up really! I'll have more info when the time comes. :3
Cheers! And Happy Holidays!

TERMS OF SERVICE
Posted 13 years agoA note about my schedule: I currently work 3 days out of the week on more professional artistic persuits. I always work Saturdays, and Usually Sunday and Thursday. Because of this, It is not likely that I will get much if any commission work done on those days. I just wanted to have this stated because in the past I have had issues trying to set aside time for my own work/personal needs.
Don't fret though, I will do my best to finish your commission in a timely matter
By Commissioning me, You Accept the following terms, agreeing that you are entering a binding commission contract with me.
{Updated as of 2/26/2013}
First off, the type of commission/what I offer varies on a daily basis, and because of that, I have no current set price sheet, or specific details about what type of commissions I offer. That information will become available when I am open for commissions, and there will be a specific journal dedicated to that.
It should also be noted that Furaffinity is the only website that I will take commissions through, EVER. I have galleries on Sofurry, Inkbunny, and Weasyl, but will not post information about commissions/accept them there.
PAYMENTS:
- I take payment upfront, through paypal, and my prices are in USD.
- I Accept payment plans as well (details TBD upon request)
- You are allowed to split payments with another person(s)
I will only go as far as the approval sketch stage without being paid, should certain circumstances be present that prevent you from paying upfront and it is not crutial that I recieve payment ASAP.
For any payment plans and spilt payments, I will not finish the commission until I have been fully paid.
***** IMPORTANT: DO NOT MAKE ANY PAYMENTS AS A GIFT, there have been problems in the past with people doing this, causing paypal to put a hold on the account. I do not want this to happen, and although a small fee comes out of the moeny I make, I put up with it. I don't care whether you mark it as goods or service, it's practically the same thing in my case.
Cancellations/Refunds:
In the event that you need to cancel a commission, I will offer a partial to full refund depending on the amount of work put into the piece at said time. Any request for cancellation made before an approval sketch stage (assuming there is one) Will guarentee you a full refund.
At any point after that, it will be a partial refund. The amount will be determined at that time, dependent on how much work has gone into the piece.
In the event you do cancel, before/after seeing the sketch, I retain FULL RIGHTS to that image, and can use it how I see fit, be it for another commission assuming the criteria matches, to sell at auction, or to sold as a print. However the image is used, I will alter it so that it no longer resembles your fursona/charater(s).
Due Dates:
I do not have set due dates for commissions, due to my style of life, and the varying time it takes me to complete each individual commission, I cannot entirely guarentee a deadline.
I will do my best to finsh any and all works as fast as I can, but how long you have to wait may be anywhere between a day, to 2-3 weeks. I have never had to make anyone wait for more than a month and I keep to that!
If your commission is a gift to someone (for a birthday or holiday), give me a date and I will do as much as I can to finish it by said day. But again, no guarentees.
Shipping/Mailing
As of right now, I do not offer anything traditional, or printed works that would require shipping. In the event that I do, I will update this section, with information about costs, replacements, and whatever else need be covered.
Changes:
On most commissions that I offer, I will send you a sketch for your approval. At this point in time, you are allowed to change anything in the image, all be it, the entire thing (if so, I retain the rights to that sketch and have the right to reuse it at my own discretion, be it at Auction or another commission should it fit someone else's criteria. However the image is used, I will alter it so that it no longer resembles your fursona/charater(s).)
However at any point after, I will not make any changes. The ONLY exception to that is that if I messed up the colors (i.e. forgot marking/ wrong colors) or should I leave something out by accident that you requested.
And once you have approved the final image, and any minor changes fixed, I consider my "contract" with you complete and from that point on I will not alter the image in any way. (so basically no requesting you to fix something I did for you a year ago.)
Posting my Art:
You are more than welcome to repost a commission that I have done for you on any website, SO LONG as you link back to my Furaffinity page, or the Original work, and do not claim the art as your own. I don't mind you sharing, heck I enjoy having my art exposed to the world, so long as people know that it is indeed mine.
If you did not commission my art, and your character/fursona is not featured in it, then you are not allowed to post it on any gallery based website, even if you link it back to me. I can't stop it from being posted on forums like u18chan, pawsru, e621, and tumblr, and so long as you are not claiming to have created my work, I don't care. The more people who know about me, the more business I get.
Reselling My Art:
IS NOT ALLOWED by anyone but ME. No profit is to be made off of my art by the commissioner or anyone else. I haven't heard of this happening with my own art, and I'd very much like to keep it that way. I work hard to provide a service, and if you sell that work, you are effectivly diminishing the value of that work and the effort I put into it.
It should be noted that as the artist I retain all rights to any commission I make, and should I so desire, make and sell prints of said art. HOWEVER, I will ALWAYS ask you, the commissioner/owner of the fursona(s) featured in the commission, if it is ok to sell said prints.
Proper Communication and Timely Responses:
I ask that you please do your best to keep communication professional. As I primarily use the notes for communication, and as such, I don't use it for conversations so much. It ends up making it difficult to keep things straight. I also ask that you have at least a basic idea for what you want, I'd prefer not playing phone tag through 20 notes just to hammer out the details.
Also, in the event that communicating with you takes an extremely long time, I will likely lower the priority of your commission, if not cancel if it is taking too long. I say this because commissions are currently my only source of income, and if I have to delay service to you or others due to bad communication, I am effectivly losing money.
Should you know ahead of time that you will be unable to respond for extended periods of time, please notify me so I can plan accordingly.
THINGS I WILL NEVER DRAW:
Scat/watersports
Diapers
Hyper
Unbirthing
Vore
Gore (torture/whatever, general violence is ok)
Inflation
Basically anything where anatomy just goes out the window
SONIC (I can't stress how much I hate sonic art. Sorry if that 's rude)
Pokemon (in sexual context)
Bestiality
Machines
Cub/Babyfur
Age Play
Cock and ball torture
If it's not listed here just ask, but I think I covered the major no-no's.
OTHER:
By Commissioning Me, you accept the terms and conditions listed above, unless otherwise stated by me prior to starting. You have the right to ask about these conditions, be it for clarification, or modification before entering into a commission contract with me.
I retain the right to refuse service to anyone, for any reason.
I have the right to refuse to complete or cancel a commission contract at any time, refunding you appropriatly according to my written terms above, however it is unlikely that I will do so after a sketch has been approved.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Posted 13 years agoCommissions
1. How do I get a commission?
Any information about taking commissions will usually be in my most recent journals. I only take commissions through furaffinity, so as to keep things simple.
2. Do you have a pricesheet, or list of what kind of commissions you are currently offering?
No. The reason being, i change up what I offer every now and then if there is some particular style or way I want to try or just enjoy working. I can however promise I won't offer no-color/sketch/linearts. (I feel that color just makes everything look 10x better)
3. What currency/form's of payment do you accept?
As far as currency, I take USD, through PAYPAL Only. That will be restated on any journals conserning commissions.
4. Do you accept split payments between two people and payment plans?
Yes and yes. I'm fine you splitting payment with a friend, however I won't finish the piece until all parties have paid.
As far as a payment plan, I have yet to do one, so we can work out the details should you need one.
5. Will you finish ____ piece by ____ artist?
No. Even if you get approval from the original artist, I will not line, color, or finish another artist's work unless I happen to be collaborating with them.
6. Do I need to have a reference sheet or other drawn art of my character to commission you?
Most likely yes. Unless I happen to be making a reference sheet for you I prefer working from a reference. it helps me work faster. I would only consider not doing so if you character doesn't have elaborate detail/markings that you'd have to be describing to me.
7. How long does it take you to complete a commission?
On average, a few days, to a couple of weeks. It all depends on how long the list I'm working on is, where you are on it, how fast our correspondance is, and of course, my life outside of drawing for money. But I will never make you wait a matter of months, especially if you have already paid.
8. When do you expect payment?
On average, upfront. I tend to be a little lenient on that with customers I know have a good reputation, or if you happen to be farther back on the list (which means it'll likely be a few days before I even start on yours). HOWEVER, I will not progress past the approval sketch stage (if there is one) until I am paid.
9. Why payment upfront?
I feel that it is in my best interest to do so. I hate owing people things, and because of that, it encourages me to finish the work faster than should I not be paid. I also prefer it so I don't end up producing a finished piece of art and having someone skip out on the payment.
10. I had some financial crisis or need my money back for whatever reason, can I get a refund?
Yes, partial or full depending. I will give you a full refund if you ask before you have approved the sketch, and a partial refund, to be determined on the amount of work that I have put into the piece.
11. I wasn't satisfied by what you made for me, I demand my money back!
I'm sorry you feel that way :C . As per my TOS, I will normally offer an approval sketch stage at which you can ask for changes, and If I screw up the coloring, you can also have that fixed, but I will not refund anything once I have completed the piece. However, I may or may not be able to alter the image in small ways/quick fixes if there is something that specifically stands out.
12. Can I post this commission you made for me to my FA page? or to any other site for that matter?
YES! Absolutly! Share the love, share my art! MY ONLY CONDITION, is that you mention my name, or link back to my page/original work if possible. So long as you are not claiming it to be drawn by you.
However, if you didn't commission me for the work or it does not feature your fursona, then you may not post it to any gallery based site, even if you link back to me.
I am aware that some of my art has made it onto sites like u18chan, e621, and oawsru, etc. and I am fine with that. I don't mind the exposure!
13. Can I get art with your characters in it? and how much does that cost?
Yes! I enjoy chances to draw some art of my characters, because I don't often do it in my free time. Prices vary, but it usually discounted from the price of a "second character"
Bastian (the otter) is my main fursona, and you are free to request him in any situations clean or adult that you wish! So long as it falls under things I don't mind drawing.
Philip (the bird) is my alt. fursona, and he is strictly PG. I won't draw porn of him ever.
14. Do you accept Tips/Donations?
Sure! My paypal is bastianwolf21[at]gmail.com
I Thank you in advanced!!!
15. Can I keep this private?
Yes you may, just let me know ahead of time, and I will email you the finished picture.
16. Do you stream or are you willing to stream while you work on commissions?
Sorry, no. If I stream, it'll be rare, and most likely personal art. I tend to be a bit self-concious about my drawing, as it goes through many stages of bad before good. At any rate, I have a someone shitty internet connection as well, so it'd drop out like every 5 minutes.
17. What do you like to draw?
Furry's Only (no Humans)
Clean/Nude/Adult/XXX rated
All Genders
Most body types (non-extreeme)
Tentacles <3
Bondage
Clothing
Pin-ups
Crossdressing
Hypnosis / Mind Control

I tend to be a little lenient on that with customers I know have a good reputation, or if you happen to be farther back on the list (which means it'll likely be a few days before I even start on yours). HOWEVER, I will not progress past the approval sketch stage (if there is one) until I am paid.
9. Why payment upfront?
I feel that it is in my best interest to do so. I hate owing people things, and because of that, it encourages me to finish the work faster than should I not be paid. I also prefer it so I don't end up producing a finished piece of art and having someone skip out on the payment.
10. I had some financial crisis or need my money back for whatever reason, can I get a refund?
Yes, partial or full depending. I will give you a full refund if you ask before you have approved the sketch, and a partial refund, to be determined on the amount of work that I have put into the piece.
11. I wasn't satisfied by what you made for me, I demand my money back!
I'm sorry you feel that way :C . As per my TOS, I will normally offer an approval sketch stage at which you can ask for changes, and If I screw up the coloring, you can also have that fixed, but I will not refund anything once I have completed the piece. However, I may or may not be able to alter the image in small ways/quick fixes if there is something that specifically stands out.
12. Can I post this commission you made for me to my FA page? or to any other site for that matter?
YES! Absolutly! Share the love, share my art! MY ONLY CONDITION, is that you mention my name, or link back to my page/original work if possible. So long as you are not claiming it to be drawn by you.
However, if you didn't commission me for the work or it does not feature your fursona, then you may not post it to any gallery based site, even if you link back to me.
I am aware that some of my art has made it onto sites like u18chan, e621, and oawsru, etc. and I am fine with that. I don't mind the exposure!
13. Can I get art with your characters in it? and how much does that cost?
Yes! I enjoy chances to draw some art of my characters, because I don't often do it in my free time. Prices vary, but it usually discounted from the price of a "second character"
Bastian (the otter) is my main fursona, and you are free to request him in any situations clean or adult that you wish! So long as it falls under things I don't mind drawing.
Philip (the bird) is my alt. fursona, and he is strictly PG. I won't draw porn of him ever.
14. Do you accept Tips/Donations?
Sure! My paypal is bastianwolf21[at]gmail.com
I Thank you in advanced!!!
15. Can I keep this private?
Yes you may, just let me know ahead of time, and I will email you the finished picture.
16. Do you stream or are you willing to stream while you work on commissions?
Sorry, no. If I stream, it'll be rare, and most likely personal art. I tend to be a bit self-concious about my drawing, as it goes through many stages of bad before good. At any rate, I have a someone shitty internet connection as well, so it'd drop out like every 5 minutes.

Clean/Nude/Adult/XXX rated
All Genders

If you can think of any other questions or think there's something worth adding to this faq, please feel free to ask!
CUSTOMER FEEDBACK
Posted 13 years agoCUSTOMER FEEDBACK!
Alrighty, so I wanted to make a customer feedback journal for some time. The reason being I want to know what I can do from time to time to either improve my own art and service that I provide. But not only that, to give other potential customers an idea what it's like to work with me, and what have you.
Don't worry about being nice about it either, If you felt I wronged you in some way, didn't like how things worked out, or even hated the piece of art that I made for you, please let me know! Or if you absolutly loved everything then I'll be happy to hear it! I may not show it much, but I really depend on the opinions of others.
Some Categories to Consider:
Professionalism/Communication: How were my responses and handling of your commission?
Quailty of Work: Was the work I did for you up to your expectations, and did you like it? If not, was there something specific about it that you didn't like?
Timely Completion of Work: Was the time it took to complete your commission done in good time?
Prices: Do you think my prices are fair for the quailty of work you recieved?
Other Comments: Anything else you'd like to add?
Would you commission me again?

You can simply rate this on a 1-10 scale (1= It sucked, 10= It was awesome)
or leave a more indepth feedback response. Either way it's all peaches and cream!
THANKS IN ADVANCED FOR THE FEEDBACK! I REALLY APPRECIATE IT!!
