Before You Order – Quick Checklist
Here are a few things to think about before messaging me:
Do you have any reference images?
Even if they’re just vibes, colors, or outfit inspo, they help a ton!Do you know what kind of background you’d like?
Options include:Transparent (great for stickers/icons)
Simple (flat color or shape)
Patterned or Abstract
Scene or Setting (more detailed, may increase price)
Is this for personal use or commercial use?
If it’s for merch, marketing, streaming, or resale — we’ll discuss licensing.
Thanks for supporting my work! Every commission helps me keep creating, and I’m truly grateful for each of you.

🚫 What I WON’T do 🚫
I reserve the right to decline any commission request that makes me uncomfortable or falls outside my artistic boundaries. This includes (but isn’t limited to):
Scat, diapers, urine-related content
Inflation
Foot-focused art
Characters of questionable age (no minors in adult situations)
NFT/AI-related requests
If you're ever unsure, feel free to ask — I won't bite! I just want to keep things respectful and safe for everyone involved.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a full reference sheet?
Nope! I can work with mood boards, sketches, photos, or even a description. Just make sure I have enough details to bring your idea to life!
Do you offer payment plans?
I usually take full payment upfront, it’s quicker, simpler, and means I can show you progress without needing watermarks. That said, if you need to split payment, just ask! I offer a 50/50 option (half upfront, half before delivery), as long as we arrange it before I start.
What file types will I receive?
You'll get a high-quality PNG. If you need specific versions (like transparent backgrounds or resized formats for icons or banners) just let me know when we’re confirming the details.
Can I print the art I commission from you?
Absolutely — for personal use only! If you plan to use the artwork commercially (like on merch, branding, or anything that generates income), let me know upfront. Commercial usage requires proper licensing.
How do I check on my commission’s status?
Once we’ve started, you’re always welcome to message me directly for updates! I also keep my Handy-Dandy Notebook updated in real time with commission slots and progress info, so feel free to check there any time.
