FAQ
♦ How much does (insert type of commission here) cost?
Please browse through the different styles to get an estimate. If you're still unsure how much what you want will cost, feel free to send me a message about it but please make sure to include the important details when you ask.
By important details, I mean a reference of your character/s, the type of background you want if any, the coloring style and size (headshot/bust/etc). If your characters don't have any references, please make sure to say so in your note and give me an idea of what you want the character/s to look like.
These things are important because I need to have an idea of what I'm going to be drawing and how long I'm probably going to spend time on it before I can start computing for the price. If you don't include these things in your note, I'm most likely going to say the same thing over and over again: "It depends on what the characters look like and what you want exactly."

♦ Why is the total price higher than what's listed on your website?
My prices are not flat and may increase depending on the complexity of your commission. If, say, you want me to draw a character wearing heavy armor, brandishing a great sword in the middle of a battlefield, please don't expect to pay the base price/the bare minimum.
♦ I just received my commission and I would like to show it to others. Can I post it on ___?
Sure, go ahead! You may edit/crop/do whatever you want with your commission as long as you don't try to profit from it. I would also appreciate it if you linked back to my DA/Tumblr/Twitter if you can. However, if it's a piece you didn't pay for, then you may not edit/repost it anywhere unless you have the owner's permission to do so.
♦ Can you draw my character in ___'s style?
Please don't ask me to copy someone else's style. I'm not comfortable with that and am only willing to draw in my own style. If you can, please commission the original artist instead of asking someone else to recreate their style.
On the other hand, before you show me an image from my own gallery, please check my commission info for the available styles. If the style you're interested in is there, then sure! If not, then no. I like to experiment with different coloring techniques so the only styles available in my commission info are the ones that I'm already familiar/comfortable with. Also, if you show me an image from many years ago, please don't expect me to draw the same way I did back then.

♦ Can I resell/profit from your art?
Unless there's a contract between us, my art cannot be used commercially. If you intend to use the art for profit, please make sure to mention it in your first message so we can discuss the terms for it.
♦ In what order do you work on your commissions?
I usually work on whoever pays first but if people pay at the same time, I work on whoever replies to my messages/questions the fastest. Sometimes I also work on the simplest commissions first to lessen my workload quickly.
♦ Do you take fanart commissions?
Yes.
♦ Do you draw OCxCanon or CanonxCanon pairings?
Yes, I can draw them depending on who the canon character is. If you want to commission an OCxCanon (or even a CanonxCanon) piece, kindly ask me first if I'm fine with the pairing.
♦ I can't decide on what I want. What do I do?
If possible, please message me only when you already know what you want because there are instances where I spend hours talking to one person who can't decide on anything and in the end, they'll tell me, "I still can't decide so I'll get back to you later." That or we go in circles for days or even weeks. I could have spent that time working on someone else's commission or on another project instead of using up my time speaking to someone who may or may not even commission me in the end.
Also, please refrain from making me choose which outfit/colors/style to use for your characters. You know them best so I would rather you choose what you want and not what I want because people have different preferences and I wouldn't want to draw a design that you don't like or something that doesn't fit your character's story. I would also appreciate it if you didn't send me lots and lots of things to choose from because the more info/images you send me, the more confusing it will get so please keep everything short and straight to the point to avoid mistakes and misunderstandings.

♦ Can I hire you to draw for my project?
That would depend on my schedule and the kind of project. Please send me a note with the complete details and we can discuss.
If you have more questions, feel free to send me a note/email!
