Do’s and Don’ts (SFW)

Yes!

I am much more likely to accept your commission if you give me one of these to draw, I’ll most likely have more fun with it.

  • Pokemon
    • Fennekin’s evolution line and the Eeveelutions are big faves!
  • Viva Piñata
  • Digimon
    • simplistic ones only
  • wild canids, spitz breed domestic dogs
  • domestic cats
  • rabbits
  • chibifurs
  • quadrupeds/”ferals”
  • fluffy characters
  • flat chested characters
  • transgender/nonbinary characters
    • Especially transmasculine characters!

Maybe?

These are either subjects I feel I could draw, but don’t draw often in my personal art, so I may take a lot of extra guidance to get it right. Or not something I am particularly interested in.

  • clothing beyond small accessories, weapons, props
  • characters with defined muscle or breasts
  • characters without existing art when it’s not explicitly a character design commission
  • robotic characters or mechanical parts
  • kid/teen characters
  • canon characters
  • large bat or feathered wings
  • complex scales/horns/spikes
  • goggles and glasses
    • I tend to draw eyes too big for them to look actually functional.
  • some fetishes (not listing here, so, ask!)

Don’t Ask

If you give me anything on this list, consider it an automatic refusal of your commission. Either I don’t want to draw it, or feel I can’t provide good quality.

  • explicit porn
  • humanoids & horses
    • I may specify they are okay for certain extremely stylized commission types
  • offensive, bigoted, or harmful imagery
  • real world military themes
  • FFXIV, My Little Pony, and Floraverse characters
  • gore
  • mecha

Common causes for extra fees

  • Body part/clothing complexity: $10+
    • Extra limbs, wings, and mechanical limbs replacing normal limbs are +$10 per limb. Extra tails will be free up to an extent, depending on amount, composition, and detailing needed, ask for a quote if needed.
    • For taurs, add on the difference between a halfbody and a fullbody in the corresponding commission type, assuming all they need are the torso, the back two legs, and one tail. Beyond that they will be subject to extra limb and tail pricing.
    • Other things not listed here may be deemed complex at my discretion.
  • Complex markings: $10+
    • Fee waived if character is drawn on-model to Viva Piñata and has little limb definition.
  • Your extra character: same base price
    • Extra character may be subject to extra complexity fees if they warrant it.
    • Will be discounted further if meaningfully obscured in relation to the type of commission, or if it is the same character.
  • Custom Character: up to +$30
    • Depends on amount of guidance given and how complex the character is intended to be.
    • I do much better with visual references than written, i.e. “I want hair like this picture,” “I want the main body to be #FFD149 and the ear fluff to be #CF4F19”.
    • Please check my created designs on my Toyhouse account for a general idea of my design aesthetic – I feel I am more suited to mammalian and Pokemon themed characters.
  • Private Commission: +100% of cost of final commission
    • My icon commissions do not require a privacy fee, and neither does anonymity. I am also open to obfuscating the character design when posting publicly — I haven’t done this before so I don’t know how much I’d charge, but it certainly wouldn’t be anywhere close to +100%. We can talk about it if needed.
    • I do have the right to not post your piece to social media or gallery sites on my own for any reason — you may post it yourself in this case and you will not incur a fee.
    • If a YCH auction gets bought out and is requested not to be posted, I will not charge a privacy fee. However, this will waive the right for the piece to be completely unique, and I will likely auction off a second slot.
  • Mature themes: +$10-$30 depending on idea
    • I don’t draw explicit content for commissions, but I can draw some tame things with the intent to appeal to a fetish. Adult characters only.
    • Will be listed as complexity charge on invoice. I need to charge extra because I cannot use these as part of my normal portfolio.
  • Excessive/Major Edits: varies
    • Edits that are my mistake, such as color changes and adding markings that are already in the commission prompt, are free.
    • Edits in the linework or color phase that are due to unclear direction in the rough sketch phase will cost equivalent to how much time I need to spend changing the piece.
    • I will always send you the entire canvas when first sending the sketch for approval, never assume I have sent you a crop.
    • Major edits that require redrawing the entire piece will be charged for the work I have already done. To avoid this, please come with a pose and idea in mind upfront.
    • I encourage redlining my sketch to point out things such as anatomy errors, please do not be afraid to. I want to create art we are both happy with.
  • Commercial Use: varies
    • Negotiable based on the size and scale of the project. I will not approve commercial use for projects involving blockchain technology.

Common causes for discounts

  • Patreon: -10% or -$5 (whichever is a greater discount)
    • Must be a member of the $10 tier.
  • Extremely simple character: headshot or halfbody price
    • This refers to characters lacking limb definition – think of Igglybuff and Puttimon.
  • My extra character: +50% of base price of commission, instead of +100%
  • My character only: 75% of base price
  • Character I designed: -10% or -$5 (whichever is a greater discount)
    • This always applies if I am being commissioned to draw a premade adoptable I have sold. Giving discounts to custom designs will be on a case by case basis depending on how much freedom I was given with the design – please don’t ask about it, I will inform you about if I’m going to discount the character when accepting a commission.
  • Redraw: 80% of current price
    • Commission must be over a year old, and composition must be the same.
  • Telegram Sticker Resolution: negotiable discount off of Standard prices
    • Commission must be drawn in 512 x 512, which will result in less detail.
    • I don’t take commissions for large batches of stickers at a time.
