My current waiting line: trello

How to get a commission?Please use my commission description form or describe your commission in a similar way. I need that information to arrange the waiting line for the upcoming weeks. I’m not adding to my waiting list any requests without the crucial information described. I will accept the commissions I'm okay to work on. You can request more than one commission at once.I'm taking the full payment upfront one day before starting your commission, by sending the PayPal payment request. You will receive the sketch on the same or the next day (depending on the size and complexity). I can also provide the VAT invoice (in English) if needed.After receiving the full payment, your commission will be ready in 2 - 10 working days (depending on the commission's size and complexity).You can contact me / place your order via email at [email protected] or by any of my social media:

I can move your commission in time for any reason, but in that case please message me a bit earlier.
If you’re in a rush and need a commission to be done very quickly, let me know - we can figure something out together!If I don’t get a reply or payment in two days, I will move to the next commission in my waiting line. After seven days of no response, this commission will be cancelled.

Commission description formTo describe your request, please fill out the form presented here (copy and paste it into your message/document). I appreciate keeping the description as simple as it can be. It will make my work way easier because English is not my native language and I want to avoid any possible misunderstandings.
Please skip the parts that don't apply to your commission type.
For a group commission, please describe each character separately.
Visual references are more than welcome!Email I can use to send you the invoice:

Pose, action, expression (if you leave this one empty, I assume that I can pick the pose myself and it’s not negotiable. The same goes with short and imprecise descriptions, like “paint them sitting on a chair/wielding a sword/in a powerful pose” - I assume you don’t have anything specific in mind):I will appreciate giving me as much artistic license as possible. ♡If you’re not sure what kind of commission would be best or what to do to make your commission/design look more interesting, you can just leave it to me. I will be more than happy to suggest a pose, design something for you or simply help you with putting your ideas into one.CorrectionsI’m very patient about the corrections, so if you see anything that needs to be edited or adjusted on your commission, just let me know! I want you to be happy with the final result (and most edits aren’t time-consuming anyway). Especially if the commission is very complex and contains a lot of important details, your check-up will be needed.
However, I’m not going to make any big changes (like the whole pose or the entire outfit) for free even on the sketching stage, so please be specific.

You will receive the artwork as a full-resolution 300 dpi file and a smaller version with my watermark. I suggest using the watermarked version to prevent art theft when you post your commission online. Please contact me if you need any specific crop or size.All commissions are for personal and non-commercial use only.
Commercial inquiries will be priced individually.
