Art related
What programs do you use?
It all depends on what I am drawing, but I mainly use Clip Studio paint and photoshop. I have experience with Paint tool Sai, paint and TV Paint as well. For writing, I use Adobe Affinity.What drawing tablet do you use?
Wacom Intuos Pro MediumWhat brushes do you use?
I do use custom made ones and rarely use some which i purchased from other artists. It would all depend on what I am drawing and how much time I want to spend on it.Can you teach me or do a tutorial for me?
Sorry but I do not have much time, so if there is something specific then I will look into it for you but I can not guarantee that it will be done. however I will always assist as much as possible. Please be aware I do not respond to messages such as "please advise me how to improve my art" due to this topic can take me an eternity to label every single thing, not to mention I am still learning myself.Would you red-line something for me?
Of course! however I only ask that you don't just line my red lines and try draw it in your own style.
Commission related
If i have an idea of a commission you don't offer, can i still request it?
I appreciate the interest and most often will accept it as I do like a challenge and I shall work out a discounted price for you for raising the idea to me. However if you are requesting me to draw in a certain artist's style, it would be a flat "No" simply because this is highly disrespectful and uncomfortable to do.Do you accept payment plans?
Not always, this must be discussed before I send you invoice or request payment.if i commission you and in the near future decided to sell the character, can i charge a new owner for it?
Yes, I only ask that you keep the artist credit on the piece. You used your money to commission me, if you wish to charge the same amount - that is your choice. However, Do not upsell from my prices to the new owner!do you accept requests rather than commissions?
Nope, not a chance.Can I have an unwatermarked version?
No. I do put my watermark on there for a reason - mainly due to art and character theft. This has happened before which is why I no longer offer un-watermarked versions.When will you be open for commissions again?
I try to keep my Trello active as much as possible, so you can keep watch on there how busy I am with my art projects. Although I will always publicly announce on my various social medias when I am open again.
General questions
how old are you?
I was born in 1991, so I shall let you do the maths.Can we be friends?
umm...... This is a bit of a silly question to ask; friendship is built up over time and should never be a question to someone. If you would like to talk to me, just send me a DM (private message) on my social media's.did you study in education for art?
Not really, I am self taught. Although I have some kind of education in art since i follow a couple of voluntary artists doing 'classes' online.
Terms of service
Thank you for your general support and interest in my work. I always strive to bring out the best of your character and depict them, to the best of my abilities, how you envision your characters to be and their environment. I try to work with quality over quantity as much as I can to produce a satisfactory piece of artwork for you and your character.By commissioning me, you are accepting to these terms of service stated below. Breaking these Terms of Service will result in a non-refundable, cancelled commission order and being blacklisted from any future orders. I try to keep things fairly on an overall basis and you are more than welcome to ask me before or in the duration of your order if you have any general concerns or questions.
Communication
What is the best way to contact you?
If you are ordering or enquiring about a commission, you can email me directly. However, general chatting I would appreciate just on my social media's.when can i expect a response from you?
Commission related - I try to answer either asap or on the same day for your convenience and security.
General talking - When I have some spare time and not focused on doing art or life things.are you active to respond to me?
Sorry not always, but I always make myself transparent when there might be a delay and advise you further of any date extensions and provide you with estimated time arrivals as much as i can.
Payments
payments
I make it very clear prior to requesting payments what your commissions will cost and if there would be any price increase due to complexity and if i would make any further edits to your commission. Anything complimentary upgrades will be kept silent and given as a surprise gift to you as I get inspired by some characters and stories that I do more than what you paid me for.Please do not ask me to accept a payment which is not shown in the commission styles! If you do, I will likely just decline the commission once you asked. Some things I know takes a lot more effort and energy, which is why I do not offer some payment methods for that commission type. Just please don't do it as it really puts me off a commission all together.If you want to do payment plans, please ask this when you enquire about a commission from me. If you do not ask before I request payment, I will likely decline or put you on a wait list until I get ready for accepting your commission.Refunds
I discuss this with you privately, but please do not flat out request a refund without talking to me first! I am very willing to be flexible for you. Majority of the time I will just work out the percentage of how much work I done and refund back the amount I haven't done for you. I will then give you an option to go back on the wait list so you can have your art piece finished at a later date, providing we agree on a date. If you accept this, you will have priority of all others on the wait list.
General use of my art
Uploading to your social medias
While I allow you to do this for your commissioned work, I only kindly ask that you leave my watermark alone and visible as I first gave this to you.My personal art I expect you to have some respect to not distribute or sell this anywhere else. If you want to use my work for studying and learning, I don't normally recommend you do this as I am learning myself and still making errors. Although if you did use my content to learn, please do just ask if you want to post my work showing the difference or just simply tag and credit me and I shall check out your work and make a comment as best I can when I have some time.My characters
Please have some respect to not trace, copy nor steal my characters. I do work hard on them together with their lore, even behind the scenes. If you are wanting to draw my characters in with yours, I only ask that you respect thier personalities and features as each thing is what makes the character be who they are, including the way they appear.
My Projects
These are some personal projects of mine.
No Regrets - Lost Prophecy
This story is my main which is based on an entire universe which is based on a lot of wars, myths and sacrifices.A lost prophecy is on going but is far from being a legend as an entire universe is constantly at risk of ceasing to exist from reality all because of one individual. The characters do a lot of self searching and work on improving themselves to ensure the universe it's chance to survive complete obliteration.This is a tragic story which is still in the works and progressing.
Mythika - Realms
This is an art role playing game which Is based off the story i am making "No Regrets - Lost Prophecy" but also to be its own thing for others to enjoy and do some world / character building for themselves.You can join or find more information on the website here:
