Q: So… what do I do first?
A: After you have checked the Private Art Commissions section and looked at the availability, examples and prices, email me at [email protected] if you want to ask for a quote or take a commission slot. I'll contact you back in the next 2-3 business days to send your way a definitive price, turnaround time, and any other detail to discuss according to your specifications.

Q: What's the difference between 'slots' and 'waitlist'?
A: Commission slots refer to the current batch of commissions I'm actively working on at that moment; I decide if these are filled or available depending on the complexity of commissions I've been asked to do, the amount, and any external factor in my life that could affect my schedule. When I say waitlist I mean the commission inquires I received after filling the current slots available; these I would get to after I finish my current batch, in this stage they're not payed for yet and can be cancelled at any moment by the commissioner.
In cases when I close both my commission slots and the waitlist, it means I'm at full capacity for the next month or so. When this is the case, you're welcome to join my Telegram Channel if you want to keep up to date for when I open them again.

Q: What do you feel comfortable drawing and designing?
A: Fantasy creatures, animals, half-beast humans and women are the characters I have the most experience designing. As for backgrounds I personally enjoy drawing nature, but I'm willing to try and experiment with new things if requested.

Q: How much time do you take with each commission?
A: That greatly depends on the complexity of the piece and the work I already have on my current queue. In general I always aim for it to be a 2-3 week turnaround for character designs and/or simpler pieces, starting from the moment the person pays the invoice. Regardless, when discussing the details of the commission and before sending the invoice, I'll make it clear how long I'm gonna take to finish the final art .

Q: What information should I send you beforehand so you can set a proper quote for full illustrations?
A: A reference image of the character/animal/pet is required for me to be able to work on a piece for you. But aside from that, basically something I can work from and lean on –how specific or vague depends on if you know exactly what you want, or if you want to give me artistic freedom and see what I can come up with when given a prompt together with a character.
You can include things like what you want for the piece’s mood, the poses, the general expression of the character(s), maybe even a short description of their personality, etc. Visual references are preferred over text, please try to describe everything in just few sentences, remember I need to be able to understand and visualize what you want.

Q: How do I pay for the commission?
A: When everything is agreed upon, I’ll send the Paypal or Payoneer invoice to the email you provide me. When the payment is done I’ll start working on the commission and will send it to you within the timeframe agreed on previously.

Q: What’s going to be the process while you’re working on the commission?
A: The time I spend on each stage depends on the complexity of the piece , but basically the first thing I’ll do is an initial sketch for you to check (if there are details that you want changed and modified, this would be the moment to do so), and after it's approved I’ll start the coloring and refining. The amount of WIPs and revisions afterwards depends on the type of commission you asked for .
There's of course an exception when it comes to Character Design commissions –as specified in their description, those don't get any revisions before the commissioner gets the final art.

Q: Can I change details like pose, basic idea or composition after you started cleaning and coloring the illustration?
A: Absolutely not. That would be practically asking of me to start again from the very beginning if I’m already lining, rendering, adding colors and details. It’s very important that you take the time to look at the initial sketch(es) and let me know whatever you want changed or modified, this way I can go ahead, edit the sketch and send it your way again for another revision. After the sketch approval, fixes and modifications to be done should be about color, lighting, effects, etc; not about the basic structure and idea of the piece.

Q: Is it ok to give you artistic freedom to create the drawing if I’m not 100% sure of what I want?
A: Yes, as long as you give me a visual reference of the character plus a prompt to go by. If you’re just curious about what I can come up with, and are happy to roll with it, then it’s totally ok.
When giving artistic freedom you have to keep in mind there's still a limited amount of revisions that have to be discussed before payment –if the commissioner wants to go over that previously discussed amount they can pay a fee, which is gonna depend on the complexity of the edit.

Q: Can I print the art I commissioned?
A: Sure! As long as that’s gonna be for your personal use only –aka: to hang in your room, paste on your notebook, etc. Basically, as long as you don’t make a profit out of it.

Q: Can I post the art I commissioned on my social media accounts?
A: Yes, if you do please credit me and link to any of my own social media accounts, shops, or portfolio sites.
