- Commissions must be upgraded within 2 years of their completion.
- Some commissions may not be eligible for upgrades. If you’re unsure if your commission can be upgraded, feel free to ask!
- If you purchased a digital sketch or digital ink picture, I can transfer this to traditional media, and finish it with Copic markers. This method does increase cost to cover the time it takes to transfer media.
- Alternately, if you purchased traditional media sketches or inks, I can transfer this to the computer, re-line it and color it digitally. This will also increase cost.

7. Prints & Originals
If you would like the original mailed to you, shipping will be added. All artwork is mailed in a stiff, cardboard document mailer, and sprayed with sketch fixative before mailing to prevent smudging. International shipping orders will also be wrapped in protective plastic. I can mail up to 3 pieces of art in each mailer, and am happy to hold pieces for you for bulk shipping.
If you would like your commissions shipped, please make this known at the beginning of your order, so I can include the cost of shipping on your invoice. If you decide later to have it shipped, the shipping price will be increased by 5%.
At this time, I cannot offer prints. I apologize for the inconvenience.

8. Streaming
During the commission process, I may choose to stream your art, unless otherwise specified by you on the commission form. If I am streaming your commission, and you are attending, please do not take this as an invitation to ask for changes throughout the stream. You will be sent progress sketches, as detailed above in section 5, and only at those times will you be allowed to request changes. The only exception is if, during the stream, I specifically ask you for input, or there is a truly glaring error (example: a missing tail).
If you have commissioned me to help you create a character, the initial creation stage is guaranteed to be streamed to you, privately, for up to 3 hours of creation time. After the character’s design is set, it will be up to my discretion to continue streaming at specific times to match your schedule.

9. Deadlines & Rush Fees
Generally, artwork is completed within four months or less, depending on the type of art and level of complexity. If something unexpected happens that disrupts my ability to work, I will contact you to keep you updated. If you are expecting to hear from me and you have not, please reach out to me.
If you would like a piece by a certain date, please specify this on your form submission. If the date is less than two weeks away, a rush fee of 40% of the total cost of the commission will be applied.

10. Character Creation
If you are commissioning art of a character for the first time, that is fine! I am comfortable with character creation from scratch.
When using reference images, keep in mind I will not copy other character's designs, or other artist's poses. I will reference them and use the details as needed, but please do not use me as a copy machine to make your own version of someone else's creation.

- Try to create a thorough description of your character, and include pictures of relevant clothing, hair styles, body types, etc.
- I will look over your information and ask for further clarification on any areas I’m unsure about. Discussion will continue back and forth until a solid character description is created.
- We will arrange a time to stream for up to 3 hours, in private. Creation streams are $20 per hour (the maximum being $60).
- During the stream, rough concept sketches will be made to get down the character’s body and colors. You are invited to give input all throughout this stream.
- Once the character is designed, the rest of the commission will go as normal, and I will start work on making a rough approval sketch for the intended finished product (ex: a digital flat commission).
- You may ask for some changes to the resulting rough sketch for the main commission, but major character design changes are discouraged at this stage, and may result in fees

11. Distribution of Finished Artwork
You have permission to:
You DO NOT have permission to:
Unless otherwise specified, I will assume permission to post any art you purchase from me to any of my galleries, with a link back to your own account when possible. If you would like your commission to remain unposted, or to be posted but anonymous, please take care to tell me from the start on the submission form.
I will not sell prints of your character without your express permission. If I do want to sell prints using your character, I will ask you personally, and we will work out your preference on being credited for your character.

- Post WIPs to your gallery as you receive them.

- Crop or resize the image for use as an icon.

You DO NOT have permission to:
- Remove my signature (unless you're using the commission as an icon).
- Resell prints, digital files, originals or adoptables at a cost that is higher than what you initially paid. That is, don't turn a profit from my art, please.
- Distribute the layered files for digital works.
- Pay another artist to color a commission without notifying me first. I'll probably say yes, but I want to know about it first!

12. Use of my Original Characters
Sort of a case-by-case deal, but depending on the circumstances, I am willing to draw my characters in commissions at times. The price per character is not less for using my own characters, however. My characters will not act out of character to fit a situation.
