Please respect the artist, there is a person on the other side of the screen!

IV. CUSTOMER SATISFACTION
I) I will do everything that I can to satisfy your commission requests and details, so that you, as the customer, are fully satisfied.
II) Changes required to a completed commission will affect the final product, and potentially cost more to the final price depending modification needed:
a) SMALL changes to a piece are free of charge.
(for example, colouring/marking changes, anything that will require a quick fix)
b) LARGE changes to a piece will come with an additional charge that will be calculated.
(this includes major outfit addition/subtractions, postures, backgrounds etc., basically anything that will require a large overhaul to correct.)

If such a circumstance arises, please let me know that your project is no longer required, and cancel the invoice. You do not need to tell me the reasons behind your cancellation, just that you are no longer seeking to continue the project.

After this date is passed, you will need to recieve a new quote for your project as my rates change from time to time.
Thank you for your understanding and agreement to these terms :)

Frequently Asked Questions

What tools do you use to make your art?
It might be easier to make a list of things I have not worked with. Currently, I primarily work digitally in Clip Studio Paint and Blender using my Wacom Cintiq. I also work in Live2d Cubism to create animations and rig my Vtuber models. When I work traditionally, I use dip and rapidograph pens for inking, and Holbein watercolor and gouache for painting. I occasionally use Posca markers and colored pencils on bristol.How long have you been making art?
Drawing was something fun I have done ever since I was old enough to hold a pencil, but I started diving more deeply into it starting in 2003 or so. What began as doodles in margins of notebooks was carefully cultivated over the years into the resulting art you see here!Will you draw something for me?
Yes! Please check my commissions page for details.How long does it take you to make art?
This varies greatly depending on the piece and how complex it is. I can spend weeks or months on the same piece, but I usually am working on multiple projects at the same time, so it might be an hour here and an hour there- other times I will work on the same piece for 11 hours straight. Typically it takes 2-3 weeks for me to complete a painting or large illustration to ensure I have adequate time away from the piece in between work sessions to be sure it is looking its best. Sometimes life happens and it takes more time, sometimes the stars align and it takes me only a few days.Did you make the album art for glass beach?
Yes! I work closely with the band on their visual art. I've also made several merch designs, tour posters, and other graphics for them and will continue working with them on future projects.
