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.

For a group commission, please describe each character separately.

CorrectionsI’m very patient about the corrections, so if you see anything that needs to be edited or adjusted on your commission - please tell me! 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.If you’re unsure what kind of commission would be best or how 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 help you put your ideas into one.

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 - please add 25% of the final price for commercial use.
