COMMISSIONS GUIDE

Welcome!

If you are here, chances are you’re looking to have something illustrated; be it a book cover, brand visuals, a personal concept you’d love to see brought to life -
...or something entirely different!

New to art commissions? Not a problem. This page is here to take you through the entire process - and if anything’s still uncertain, I’m happy to help.

Contents:

Ways to order

You can commission me in two ways:1. Through Ko-Fi
Fast and direct. Choose your option and pay upfront using Stripe or PayPal.2. Contact Me First
Not quite seeing what you’re after?
Fill in the custom requests form and tell me what you'd like to have made.Once we’ve confirmed the details, I’ll provide a special Ko‑fi listing with your name and price under "Custom Requests", right here. You can check it and pay when ready.

When do I pay, and how?

Payment is upfront, but split payments are available on commissions over £200. For multi-piece orders: you can choose between full upfront, split, or upfront-per-item.Can’t use Ko‑fi? I can invoice you directly. Stripe is preferred; PayPal invoices incur a 10% fee due to processing costs. For refunds and other policies, check out the TOS.Once I've received payment, I'll let you know and begin work! If you’ve booked a slot in advance or are on the waitlist, you are welcome to delay payment until your scheduled start date.

What I do (and don't) offer

TL:DR

I work across a lot of visual mediums: 2D/3D to UI - from animations to illustrations.
My specialty is concept and narrative design.Things I don't take on: anime (chibi ok), photorealism, full NSFW or content outside Ko-fi's terms of service. Everything else (almost!) is on the table.

  •     •     •  

Do's

🎭 Themes

I illustrate across genres - Fantasy, Horror, Sci-Fi etc.

🌌 Compositions

Portraiture (real or fictional), landscapes, full-body scenes and pets. I'm also available for conceptual work, reference sheets and more.

🧪 Artstyles

I can work in painterly realism, watercolours, line-art, and simple cartoon styles.

🎮 Fanart

Baldur’s Gate 3, GW2 and WoW are just a few titles I love to play. All fanart welcome!

🩸 Light NSFW

Scars, romance, blood, skimpy outfits etc. Dark is fine, but sexual content stays PG-13.

📖 Other Notes

LGBTQ+ friendly. I can also do fantasy cartography for you, in my own artstyle (portfolio available on request). I can offer both digital and physical commissions.

Dont's

🌌 Compositions

Excessively gory content, full NSFW, political satire, abuse/hate-speech, long comic panels or narrative sequences.Anthro, mecha, architecture, creatures, pixel art and detailed urban settings aren’t my expertise but I’m open to giving them a shot if expectations are flexible.

🧪 Artstyles

Anime. I love it - but I'm unable to draw this way! Also, I can't promise photorealism for portraiture depicting real people.

📖 Other Notes

No AI content. Proof (timelapse or work files) can be provided, for an extra fee. I may use Blender during my workflow, but I don’t currently offer 3D commissions.

Where exactly is the line between "light" and "full" NSFW?

Good question! Please check Ko-fi’s detailed NSFW guidelines. If it's got a big green tick, I consider it "light NSFW".I'd also like to mention this page is a flexible guide - not a promise. I may turn something down based on personal boundaries or creative fit. Thank you for your understanding!

How we'll work together

TL:DR

Give me the brief ≻ We discuss details ≻ I send you design options ≻ Pick your favourite ≻ Progress updates ≻ Preview and confirm ≻ Receive final artwork!

(Workflows specifics will depend on the request.)

  •     •     •  

Order Confirmation

1. ≻ I'll get in touch within 24 - 48 hours to confirm your commission, and go over specifics.

Sketch and/or Thumbnails

1. ≻ Next, I may give you some visual ideas to pick from! If you ordered sketchwork (non-refundable), you will instead receive your final artwork at this stage (ﾉ´∩｡• ᵕ •｡∩)ﾉ

💡 Important: once you've approved any initial design for work, refunds are unavailable.

Revisions and Updates

3. ≻ I’ll share a WIP for major edits, and another before finalisation for minor tweaks. I'll check in when I need clarifications, but I may not send updates until there’s new visuals to show. Feel free to message me anytime :)

Final Preview

4. ≻ Once finished, you'll receive a watermarked version of the art. I'll then ask you to send a confirmation email stating the artwork has been successfully delivered, and to a satisfactory level of quality.

💡 Why a preview/email first? This step is here to keep things secure and makes sure we're both on the same page. Appreciate it!

Illustration Delivery

5. ≻ After confirming, you will receive the un-watermarked and final version within 24 hours via drive link.

...and that's about it!
Thank you, and Congratulations ✧(•̀ᴗ•́)✧

Tips for providing references

I've put together some guidance for those unsure of what to send in. Free revisions are limited, so be specific to get your money's worth!

Read on for further explanations and licence details :)

SCOPE OF SERVICE

  • I will always ask for an emailed TOS confirmation after the first sketch is approved for work, unless the order is placed via Ko-Fi.

  • Once finished, I'll also request a little confirmation email that you've received the item.

  • Commissions are accepted on a case-by-case basis, and I reserve the right to decline any request.

  • All my work is licensed as non-commercial unless you paid for a commercial license.

  • I retain full rights to works produced for client-cancelled commissions. This also voids your license to use any material already sent.

  • I also retain full rights to any sketches, animatics, thumbnails, or drafts, unless you choose to purchase them.

  • If Ko-fi is inaccessible for you, I can invoice you directly. Stripe preferred, Paypal incurs a 10% charge.

  • Payment is upfront, but split payments are available on orders over £200. For multi-piece orders: you can choose between full upfront, 50/50 split, or paying (upfront) per item.

  • I work in GDP, so prices may be subject to exchange rates!

REFUND POLICY

  • Full refund if the commission is cancelled before I've started working on it.

  • You agree that you will not issue a chargeback - I will refund you.

  • Refunds are no longer available once the initial sketch or thumbnails have been approved.

  • If I need to cancel your commission due to extenuating circumstances (e.g. illness), you will receive a full refund. I will always do my best to contact you if I need to cancel a commission.

  • I may need feedback from the client as I work, so timely communication is a must. If not, this will result in delays - and if there is no response within a month, the commission is cancelled without refunds.

  • Physical Art: If you agree to "tracked & signed" delivery but it does not arrive, you can be refunded up to £250. If the order was over that, you'll also get a free re-paint. If it has been marked as signed-for by postal services, refunds are unavailable.

  • Physical Art: If the art arrives materially damaged and sufficient proof is provided, you may also receive a discounted re-paint (or other service).
