I will try my best to get back to business inquiries but my commissions are currently all full.I will also be undergoing several EEG tests during the next few weeks as my epileptic seizures has gotten worse due to stress (stress induced seizures) from my current financial situation.Thank you everyone for the past year.-----------------------------------------------------------------

I will not be responding to twitter dms about business inquiries/commissions as my dms are very cluttered!Also, please be sure to read my TOS before commissioning me!

✿ 1. GENERAL
• Please note that commissions are NOT on a first-come-first-serve basis. This applies to waitlists as well.
• Please fill out the form whenever my commissions are open. I will be more likely to accept commissions that are submitted via application form.
• I will select and approve commissions based on the information I am provided.
• Please be mindful that there may be a few days to a week of downtime while I carefully look over applications.
• I reserve the right to refuse a commission request under any circumstances (for example, if I do not feel comfortable with your request, unfamiliar with the request, if I do not specialize in what you are seeking/unable to fulfill the expectations of what is requested, the client proceeds to make me feel uncomfortable, scope creep, etc.)
• Commission requests that are offensive and insulting in any way, shape or form will be immediately declined.
• Commissions that are explicitly NSFW in nature (hentai, nudity, sexual, etc.) will be declined. However, semi-lewd can be considered after review.
• In regards to supplying references, please provide visual references and a detailed summary of your characters (their unique/special attributes or additional information). If there is insufficient references/information on the character requested, your commission request will be declined.
• I will not be drawing furries or mechas because I am not confident in being able to deliver satisfactory results in that regard.
• I will not draw in another artist's style. Please keep that in mind when commissioning me.
• I also take medication regularly (levetiracetam) for my epilepsy, and will be undergoing regular monthly checkups at the hospital for more frequent EEG testing.

✿ 2. PAYMENT PROCESS
• Please specify if there is a deadline for the commission piece in the initial inquiry before payment.
• The commissioner will be charged an additional priority fee depending on the workload that is requested.
• Commission times range between 2-3 months from the time that I begin work on your commission. There may be delays or extensions in which your commission may take longer. Such as my medical condition, my financial situation, my current workload (school and comms), as well as the amount of revisions that you request.
• Payment must be received before I begin on the work process for your commission.
• For illustration commissions, the full price must be paid upfront.
• For Live 2D commissions (models or rigs) the full price can be paid upfront or 50/50 payment plan.
• All payments will be received via PayPal only. All quotes will be in USD.
• The starting prices mentioned are all subject to change and do not reflect the final quote. You will receive an invoice that states the final quote.
• In regards to Live2D models, please understand that if you have not paid the full price, you will not receive commercial rights to the commissioned work. Commercial rights only applies to the final work/model (meaning once I have been paid in full, and you have received the final files via email).

✿ 3. WORK PROCESS
✿ REQUESTING PROGRESS UPDATES
• On the commissioner's request, they will receive a watermarked low-resolution update of their commission. Removal of this watermark is prohibited. I own all creator rights/reserve all rights to my work in progress updates.
• Throughout this process, the commissioner will be informed and kept up to date of any delays that may cause their commission to take longer to finish than expected.
• Please do not rush me. If you have not paid a rush fee, and we have both agreed upon that there is no specified deadline for your commission, please understand that in order to ensure the best quality of work that I am able to produce at the current time, I require a 2-3 month time frame for your commission. The time frames that I give you upon starting your commission is just a general estimation, and not a concrete indicator of any specified deadline.
✿ a) APPROVAL
• For ALL commissions, if your request is approved, then you will receive an email from my business email.
• The first step is that we will discuss payment and any additional information on the request.
• If you do not respond in a timely manner (no longer than 5 business days), then I will have to decline your request.
✿ b) CONFIRMATION
• The second step is that I will then send you an invoice when I am ready to begin work on your commission.
• The invoice must be signed, paid and approved within 24 hours of you receiving it.
• If you do not respond within that time frame, your commission will be canceled.
• Please do not send me payment for a commission BEFORE receiving the invoice (this step is important because prices are subject to change due to any additional fees).
✿ c) WORK
• There will be four phases (sketch, finished lineart, coloring, and finishing touches) during the work process. You will receive an update that you will need to sign off on everytime I finish a phase.
• Once you have signed off and approved for me to proceed to the next phase, any revision requests on the phases prior will be declined.
• You can request for revisions (up to 3) before you approve for me to proceed to the next phase.
✿ d) FINALIZATION
• You will have to respond to an email that I will send confirming that you have received the digital goods.
• In regards to Live2D models and rigs, you will receive commercial use rights once I have been paid in full and have confirmed in writing that you have received the final files.

• Once you have received the model and rigging files, please test and check for any mistakes or glitches that I may have overlooked. I'm always willing to fix any mistakes on my end. Please reach out to me via email so that I can address these issues promptly.
• After the work is completed, I will not be making any other edits/revisions unless it is really minor. If major revisions are required/necessary, there will be additional fees equal to the amount of work requested. Major revisions will be lower priority than any current/ongoing commissions.

4. COMMUNICATION
• Once work has begun on your commission, please respond to business emails in a timely manner.
• Likewise, I will try to be as transparent as possible throughout the process as I value open and effective communication with my clients.
• If you do not respond within 3 business days of receiving a business email, I will start on another commission. Your request will then be postponed and moved to a lower priority. In this case, we will then discuss further details about your commission once you respond.
• Please understand that if you are a client that does not respond to my business emails and updates in a timely manner, there will be delays in your commission until I receive further notice/information from you. A confirmation email from the client after every business update will suffice as proper notice for me to continue working on your commission.
• My time is limited as I have bills and expenses that I have to pay for monthly, so I will be prioritizing commissions that I can finish in a timely manner.
