Backgrounds
All commissions by default come with a simple background. This means it will either be flat color or a simple design that I deem fit.
If you'd like a screenshot/other image as the background please let me know (e.g. screenshot from inside Genshin)
If you desire a more complex background, please discuss it with me in your inquiry. The price will increase depending on what this background is.For chibis, the default is a transparent background, but you can request a simple background instead at no additional cost.
Additional Characters
For each additional character, halve the price of the listing and add it to the original listing price.Example:
- Two-character bust-up colored sketch: $40 + ($40/2) = $60
- Three-character bust-up colored sketch: $40 + ($40/2) + ($40/2) = $80
Regarding References
I require image references, especially for original characters. I will not accept purely word descriptions of a character's design.In general, the more images and references you send for your request, the more likely the drawing is to match your vision. If you have a clear idea of lighting and poses, please send it!
If you have other requests, please send them to me in the form so we can discuss them.
I have the right to refuse a request and/or commission.
General Info
- Full payment must be made upfront via Paypal invoice.
- There are no refunds once paid.
- Please be patient with your commission. Please keep in mind I work a full-time job, and I can also experience burnout. I will get your commission to you as soon as possible. If you need a rush job, please ask upfront and we can discuss it.
- I will send you an initial sketch after I am done. You are free to request any changes at this time.
- After the commission is finished, I will accept 3 minor changes. Any more and you will be charged an additional $5 per change. Major changes can be $10 or more.
- I require image references, especially for original characters. The more references and descriptions I have, the more likely the piece is to match your vision.
- I will send the final high-resolution version of the commission to you via the platform we are communicating on with a google drive link to download the image.
Rules
- All commissions are for personal use only (e.g. profile picture, banner, wallpaper, etc.) unless discussed otherwise
- Clients are NOT allowed to print, sell, or redistribute my art other than for personal use. Do not feed any commissioned art into an AI or image bank either. You are not allowed to claim the art as your own.
- If the Paypal invoice is not paid within 48 hours, I will cancel your commission. I will not start work on the commission until it is paid.
- I have the right to decline any commission or request.
- I have the right to post commissioned art to social media and/or display it in a portfolio.

This is a semi-sfw account
In terms of rt-ing/rebloggng, I usually don't do it for nsfw content, but some posts may be suggestive in nature. I do still like nsfw content and occasionally interact with it, so please be aware and mindful if you are a minor.I am a switch and multi-shipper.
My biggest ships are listed in the #fandoms section of my carrd. I have some preferences for top/bottom dynamics, but for the most part, I don't really care.
I will engage with the content of both dynamics.This is a multifandom account.
If this wasn't obvious already haha. I have an arm, a leg, and a hand in different fandoms. Feel free to mute/block stuff you don't like seeing.you can look at my fandoms list here!
