Here is my commission info and terms page! You'll find my status at the bottom. Please read carefully before noting me!

COMMISSION INFO:
-I expect full payment upfront for sketch & ink commissions, and two payments only for full-color. If in payments, send the first half BEFORE the initial sketch(es), and the other half BEFORE completion. If you're someone I've worked with before, I may be more trusting and lenient with these rules. Afterward, if requested I will send a hi-res file to your email.
- Artistic liberties are preferred above having every detail mapped out for me; I work best when working from my own imagination. I don't mind pose/expression/clothing/etc suggestions, but I really prefer working from picture references and short descriptions, a paragraph at most.
-If you commission me for an inked or full-colored piece, you have the option to get up to TWO edits to the sketch. If I have to make more than 2 edits, add $10 for each additional edit.
-I work on cardstock or in Painter Sai. If traditional medium, please let me know if you'd like the original mailed to you, or if I have rights to sell the original and/or prints. $3 for Shipping/packaging within the U.S., $5 elsewhere.
-If paying via PayPal, be SURE to include your name in the subject as "Commission payment from ____" So I know who it's from! I only accept PayPal or money order.

PRICES/EXAMPLES:
1. Digital sketches: $20 per character.
2. Digital shaded sketches: $30 per character.
3. Digital inked: $40 per character.

7. Traditional graphite: $30 per character.

(EXAMPLES SOON, or ask!)
Prices may vary depending on current specials I'm having. If you were linked here from a more recent journal with special prices, disregard these.

If you have any copic markers, toys or specific collectibles to trade for art, I might accept that as payment, depending on the items. I mainly collect 80'S My Little Ponies, Hooks plushes (by Mattel - had curly tentacles for hands/arms/tails that you could hook on things!), kaiju/monster toys, eyeball-related things, Popples, other 80's girly toys, AAAHH!!! Real Monsters things (I have most of them, though), clowny things, Pee-Wee Herman-related things, etc!

DO'S/DON'T'S:

DO be patient! Every artists works differently. Consider this fair warning; though rare - I CAN take a long time to finish commissions/trades. It doesn't mean I have forgotten. It depends mainly on your pickiness and the amount of details. I do my best work when I don't feel under pressure and the more liberties, the better. I'm not a professional, highly disciplined artist, but I am honest and I would never rip you off. I have hundreds of unique positive references. Generally I do only take a few days to a week.

DO be polite, kind and professional! As far as commissions go, I LOVE it when commissioners treat me like a human being, and take the time to add positive points about a work-in-progress commission, as WELL as whatever errors I have made. Let me know what I'm doing right! I do not mind at all to make corrections to a work, but please fill me in on ALL the required details first and foremost so that I won't have to do so as much and waste your time and mine! There's nothing more frustrating than when commissioners are pushy and/or expect me to read their minds. The only time I've ever had to drop a commission and refund the commissioner was when this happened.

DO understand my terms. Part of commissioning me or agreeing to a trade with me is reading and understanding my terms, and not saying "oh, I didn't read that part." I will link you to this as soon as trades/commissions are agreed on, and I will expect you to have read and understood everything here, as I would take the time to read yours if I were throwing money at you for art! I know it's lengthy but it's all very important!

FAQ:
Can you tell me where my commission is in your queue?
- This is something I can't say for sure, as I tend to work on things as I get inspired to do so. I've found this to be the best way for me to work. Generally I get one commission done per day or every other day. I do try to work in the order in which things are paid for, as that's what's fair, but sometimes when I get stuck on one commission, I'll work on another and return to it later. I keep no more than 10-20 commissions in queue at any time.

Do you only draw furries/monsters?
On this account, yes. I have a separate account for human or otherwise non-anthro art: :iconpenanggalan:. But on this one, you will mainly be seeing anthros. If you want an example of how I would draw something different, chances are I have a doodle somewhere as I've drawn practically anything and everything at least once. :)

Do you do requests/trades?
Requests - VERY rarely. Trades? Also very rarely. I prefer trades to commissions, but unfortunately I rarely have the time for them. Art commissions are my livelihood, so I have to spend the majority of my time drawing them and they are always top-priority.

More will be added as I think of it!
