Whoo! Well, that was a nice first week back. Everyone that already got their first pic from me thank you so much! It was such a pleasure getting to draw for everyone again <3!

Shout out to  bottler,  Draconm, and  Karps for being awesome and letting me draw their amazing characters :D!

With that said the current queue is all clear! So starting Monday (tomorrow) at around noon (Central time/UTC-6) I'm going to be opening another block!

This time I might do two weeks worth at once, and then start opening new blocks every other week.. Still testing the waters with what works best! Either way, just like last time its first come- first served! Links to my price guide and commission request form will be linked below! Hope you all have a wonderful weekend, and look forward to drawing more for everyone as long as I can <3

Hello everyone, hope you've all been well during these trying times-

While were all trying to stay safe, and healthy, I find myself at home with a bit more spare time on my hands then I would like as of late. With that said, for more then one reasons, I've decided to try to take up drawing/commissions once more. The extra funds will certainly be a big help in making ends meet during these times. But with that said, by no means necessary should anyone be spending a single dime on me or my artwork in pity, or fear, that its the only thing keeping a roof over my head and food on my table. There are a lot more people out there in much more dire situation and far worse a condition then me. I can only request that you only commission me if you genuinely want my artwork, and to support my artwork. Not to commission me thinking that you must in order to help me in any other way. I don't want this to be about the current times were all suffering through, I don't want this to be about anything negative. I just want this to be about me drawing once more. To be able to draw for all of you again, and to make a little extra cash on the side; nothing more.

With that formality out of the way, to sort of ease myself back into this, I've decided to more or less open myself up for a few commissions a week. An updated price-list, and freshly re-opened commission form should be available from the profiles main page (and below) if you're interested in picking up a slot. Its going to be a first-come-first-served basis, so whoever gets in first, up until the threshold of how much I plan to handle at a time, will get contacted after the submission form is closed. If you managed to get a submission form in before it closes, but the queue fills up, you will simply be added to the top of the list of the next queue, in the following week(s), for as long as I continue taking commissions.

My goal will be to take about 100$-200$ in commissions a week, and if I cant manage to make that much then the request form will simply remain open and I'll work through each new request as they come; in one-by-one.

Thank you again for all of your support, now and throughout the years. I look forward to making some good memories with all of you for the remainder of 2020~

With that the second block of commissions are CLOSED! Everyone who made it in should have been contacted by now and are listed below :D!

As far as the queue itself, below will list the people who are in queue along side the status of their commission. Even though we might have a dozen or so people in queue, only 3 or so persons images will have payment collected and started at any one time (This way I don't get overrun :O!) Please keep in mind they are not listed in any particular order! Just because someones name might be over another, doesn't mean they filled their form out first! The forms are being dealt with in a first come, first serve basis. When you get contacted by us, please respond quickly! The sooner you can get your invoice taken care of, the sooner you can be moved up in queue ;3!

And to anyone who wanted an image but was not fortunate enough to get their form in before we closed, keep checking back! Once this batch gets finished we will likely be opening up again for another batch :D! Watch this account for updates, and thank you again to everyone who has shown interest or commissioned us; it means a lot!

Hello everyone! Quick update and explanation of how were doing things. First off, everyone who submitted a form, you are still in queue, even if we have yet to contact you!

Even though we might have a dozen or so people in queue, only 3 or so persons images will have payment collected and started at any one time (This way I don't get overrun :O!)

Hello everyone. Apologies for the delay in commissions but due to the downtime of FA there has been small minor hangups in the commission queue. References pictures and other such material have been hard to get hold of and while E-Mail has worked some it has caused a delay. With FA back up the queue for commissions being completed will be back on track. We apologize for this delay and thank you all for the understanding.

Wow. Thank you everyone for your support and inquiry about commissions. The current block of commissions is currently CLOSED for now but in a week or so will be open again! So make sure to look once more for the journal page in the future when we open!

RA Ink Terms of Service (Revised Oct 13th, 2014)

RA Ink/the artist described below pertains to any and all person(s) involved in the creation of an image. An "image" is defined hereby as the product created by "the artist" or the end result of any or all of the artists time/labor. A "request for hire" is defined as any act or attempt to hire the artist to create an image. The "final price" is determined by total base cost of the image(s) in addition, but not limited to the following: Extra characters, complex character design, backgrounds, and comic panels. Revision(s) are defined as any non-anatomical changes to an image, such as coloration/patterns of an image, they do not include any changes to the pose, relative size, additions and/or subtractions to anatomy. Any revision requiring said changes are at the artist's discretion based off of the accuracy of the information/references provided to create any image(s).

By commissioning RA Ink you (hereafter "the commissioner") acknowledge that you have read and agreed to the following Terms of Service. Upon reviving a request for hire, the commissioner will be contacted and given confirmation for their place in queue. Upon reviving said confirmation, RA Ink will invoice the commissioner for the final price of the requested image(s). Image(s) will be completed upon receiving confirmation of the commissioner's payment. Upon completion of an image, the commissioner will be given the chance to review said image, and request a revision. Revisions are limited to once per requested step. Once the image is finished, no more revisions will be made without possibility of additional cost. An image is finished once the commissioner accepts the completed image, and/or has made their one revision after the final step. Steps will be broken down in the following manner: Sketches/Line Work will have one step, and given the chance to review/revise once upon completion before the image is finished. Flat Color/Shaded/Full Color will be given two steps, one upon completion of the Line Work step, and another upon completion of the image before the image is finished. If the commissioner does not wish to halt the commission process, and chooses to pass on the first steps review of any Flat Color/Shaded/Full Color image, then only one revision will be applicable after the image is completed, before it is deemed finished. The finished image will then be sent to the commissioner in the manner they request, or email by default; Custom image re-sizing is available if the commissioner would like to receive a more manageable sized file along side the full resolution file. All Images will be saved in PNG format (PSD/Sai Files will not be distributed). RA Ink withholds the right to refuse any request for hire at their discretion. RA Ink, and its associates, will not be held liable for any damage, loss, or any other civil/criminal charges upon the completion of an image. The commissioner hereby agrees that any and all references submitted to RA Ink for the creation of an image is their own, and/or they have permission from the owner of said copyrighted materials to use their property. Any and all liability will be placed upon the commissioner in the event that services were sold under false pretense. In the event that the commissioner wishes to re-post an image, RA Ink gives the commissioner (and only the commissioner) permission to re-post any finished image as long as the following criteria has been met: 1. The image can not be altered in any way including, but not limited to, the removal of the artist's signature; 2. The artist receives credit for posted image; and 3. The commissioner dose not gain any monetary value from any re-posted image in any way. The commissioner may, however, re-size or crop the image, as long as the artist's signature remains intact (An exception will only be made at the artists discretion in regards to the creation of personal avatars or the like, with contingency that credit will still be given to the artist). RA Ink withholds the right to amend or modify these Terms of Service at any time without prior notice. The commissioner will be held responsible to ensure that any amendments/modifications have been changed upon the request for hire. No refunds, all sales are final.
