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.

(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: . 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!

DEAD ACCOUNT - WATCH ME AT BLATTAPHILE
Just a reminder - http://v-e-r-a.deviantart.com/journal/Going-back-to-old-gallery-309849678 in summary: I'm keeping all my old art here, but now using my old account again for current anthro art! So please go watch me over at:

Going back to old gallery
I'll be keeping this gallery up in case I change my mind, but for at least a year (as I paid for a premium account), I'll be using my very first deviantart account from 2004. It used to be crimsonsacrifice, which I hated the name, and only just realized you can change your username now. So from now on, my furry art will be at ~Blattaphile (https://www.deviantart.com/blattaphile) unless something happens to change my mind. Sorry if this is confusing x3 I know how annoying it is when people switch accounts all the time, but this is pretty rare for me. I doubt I'll be re-posting anything from here over there, too much work. So just watch me over there for more recent works. I stil
Calling all Toy/Plush Character Owners!
I've made an FA group just for you, called TheToyBox! There's a rules/info journal, a members' journal and a current contest journal linked in every new journal and on the profile page, so you can't miss them. 12 members so far and over 100 watchers! Once we hit 30 MEMBERS, I'll be doing 3 random sketches for 3 different members :) So join now and get your friends to join!
I SO want to draw a group image of ALL the members once we hit 30, but my god that would kill me. ;_; Perhaps it could be a group project! Have one person sketch their character, send it to another member for them to sketch/ink in their character, etc. until the pic is ful
Daily Deviation + Educational Rant :)
Second time it's happened in my 7 years on dA! And I'm so glad it was on this: http://v-e-r-a.deviantart.com/art/New-Skin-213386740 because it gave me the opportunity to link to photos and educate people a bit on roaches, which is like, my goal in life, for anyone who knows me. They're so misunderstood and misrepresented. I used to be a bit scared by them through my teens, but to show how drastically that's changed since simply educating myself on them, I now proudly display a tattoo of a roach: http://penanggalan.deviantart.com/art/Purple-Cockroach-Monster-150457055 It's now and will always be my favorite feature. I've educated a lot of str
