⁘ & terms of service ⁘

Last edited April 2025


Please read through this entire page before commissioning me.

Art is a hobby to me, and I do it on my own free time.
The amount of time needed to complete any artwork varies according on the type and complexity of the commission, my current workload, and any other life events.
I cannot provide a turnaround time, but will always try to complete artwork within a reasonable time period. However, I will let you know as soon as possible if any real delay is to be expected.I value quality over speed, and I will never accept any rushed commissions.


⁘ 1 - process

  • Fill out this Form to request a slot. Commissions are not first come first serve; filling a form does not guarantee you a slot.

  • If I pick your commission, I will contact you myself, discuss your idea, and reserve you a slot.

  • I will send a rough sketch for you to approve. Unlimited changes are allowed during that phase.

  • Once the rough sketch approved, I will send payment info. I will only start once i have received full or partial payment.

  • Unless very minor, any changes after the rough sketch is approved might result in an extra fee depending on the amount of work needed for it. This does not include corrections if I misunderstood or forgot something.

  • Once completed, your artwork will be sent via email as a PNG file.



⁘ 2 - general rules

I do:

  • Humanoid characters

  • Original Characters

  • Couples / ships of any gender

  • Blood, light gore

  • Suggestive NSFW, nudity

Ask about:

  • Armor, weapons, props, etc.

  • Fanart (movies/series, video games, etc.)

  • Anthro / Furry

I will not do:

  • Children and similarly proportioned characters

  • Any hateful and discriminatory content

  • Very complex full armor, mecha, etc.

  • Explicit NSFW, porn, fetish art, etc.

  • Content with my own characters

  • Imitation of another art style

I do not offer character design, and will not work with only written descriptions.
Please provide as many visual references as you can.
I do not accept AI generated images as references under any circumstances.



⁘ 3 - permissions

You may:

  • Upload the artwork with full and proper credit (tags or visible links). However, sharing directly from my own posts is preferred and much appreciated.

  • Ask to remain anonymous when I post the artwork on my socials;

  • Ask for the artwork to remain private;

  • Have the artwork printed for personal use only.

You may not:

  • Claim the artwork as yours;

  • Modify the image in any way by cropping, applying filters, altering or removing my signature, overpainting, etc.;

  • Use the artwork for any commercial purposes;

  • Use any artwork for any NFT minting or AI training.



⁘ 4 - otHer notes

  • By commissioning me, you're purchasing my artist labor only. I retain all the rights to my work, and reserve the right to use commissioned artwork for self-promotion.

  • Unless asked to be kept private, the final artwork will likely be posted on my social media. If the commission is a gift for someone else, I can wait until you are ready before posting it.

  • Any work discarded for any reason might be reused later for my own projects.

  • Any known scammer or anyone intentionally and/or repeatedly breaking any of my rules will be ignored and blacklisted.



⁘ 5 - payment

  • Each and every price shown is in $CAD.

  • Payment must be sent through PayPal invoice.

  • Anything equal to or below 100$ CAD must be paid upfront.

  • Anything above 100$ CAD may be split 100$ upfront, and the remaining amount later if needed.

  • If payment is split, progress updates will be very limited, and depending on the type of commission, progress might be paused until the balance is paid.

  • Full or partial payment must be sent within 3 days of receiving the invoice. If no payment is sent after those 3 days, your commission will be cancelled.

  • If more time is needed (eg, waiting for a paycheck), please let me know as soon as possible, I will be happy to give you more time.

  • Prices might change without notice. While I usually revise prices while I am not taking commissions, if any price changes occur while I am working on your commission, you will not be charged any differently than what was initially agreed upon.

  • Tips, while absolutely not necessary, are greatly appreciated ! If you wish, you may choose to tip upon receiving the PayPal invoice, or later through my Ko-fi.



⁘ 6 - cancels & refunds

  • If you have an issue at any point during the commission process, please do let me know so we can sort things out.

  • If you wish to cancel a commission before I have started any linework, you may receive a refund of half the amount paid at the time of cancellation.

  • Any cancellation past the rough sketch approval is not elligible for a refund.

  • If I am at fault for not being able to complete your commission, you will be notified and refund details will be discussed.

  • If you request a PayPal chargeback at any point during the process, you will lose any right to the commissioned artwork, finished or not, and be blacklisted. I will supply PayPal with our agreement, my T.O.S. and the commission form as evidence that you agreed to them, and that work has been done for you.
