Hello!
Here is a post where i explain everything about how i do commissions or yches and guidelines.
My commissions usually always open, but you might have to wait in queue for a bit. For bigger projects i might ask you to wait a bit before i can clean up my queue, because i am easily stressed if i have too large of a queue with big project on a wait list lol
Small commissions might be done in between other things in queue, so you probably get them faster.

1- Payment

I accept payment only on Hipolink or Easystart. I have special Easystart guide for people not used to the website.
100% upfront always, except when the amount larger than 400$. I can usually split the payment in 1/3. But you have to pay 1/3 upfront before i start.

2- Rules and what to look out for. I am not that strict tbh. I mostly dont like extremes of this things.

- Have a reference for your character or really good art showing it from different angles. I still might take commission from you even if you dont have good visuals, but only if you wont be too controlling of what character looks like. I dont want to design character for you while drawing fullbody illustration for you. (if you didnt pay for designing it in a first place)
Example of bad visual reference: Art on paper where you cant see design clearly/// really complex character with only headshot as a reference, but you asked for fullbody comm//// smth where the design is unreadable.
- A lot of fixes/changes to the pose when sketch is already approved. Same for the line. If you approve the line, but then want me to change it while i am doing shading - i might not do it. I usually do, but only if it is MY fault not noticing smth or etc. I still might do it if it is just preference from u, but only if it is small and not really hard to redo. IN ANIMATIONS, after u approve a step(sketch, line etc) i WON'T make any changes to previous step, because it will take literally days of work even for small thing.
- ''Copy the pose 1 by 1 from this art and do it with my character'' -- i dont do it. You can use different art or animations as an overall reference on what u want, but i WONT BE doing it 1 to 1. This is gonna make my art worse quality and most importantly it is not a good thing to do.
- Have an overall idea of what you want, i can help you to better visualise it or help understand it more clearly. It is usually not that big of a deal if you are unsure what u wont. This becomes bad if you dont know what you want and then dont like any sketches that i do for u or make me redo the pose million times. It is not that i mind redoing things 1 or 2 times, but i had a commission where the person was answering me once per week and asking redoing everything like 5 times. It is just a waste of both of our times ^^

3 - Deadlines
I dont have them :) I am a perfectionist so most of the times i want the result to be the best i can do, not a conveyor belt quality.
I usually try to finish everything in a reasonable time. Usually it it fast. I wont hold your commission for a year thats 100%.
BUT i dont do strict deadlines. My mental just wont work with that. i have a disabled diabetic cat at my house and sometimes him doing worse healthwise makes me really sad and i need to step aside from work to keep my mind of things. And just overall with animations especially sometimes it is hard to say how much time it takes without starting the work.
If you need a strict deadline from me - ask. I might do it if my queue isn't big and i have time to finish things quickly. But you have to warn me that u expect a deadline(!)

4 - Process
I am veeeery communicative, i love when we can use discord or telegram for contacting each other when working on your commission. I usually send a lot of wips and i have a lot of questions.
I approve every step of the work. I send you final sketch - you approve. I send you final lineart - you approve etc.

5 - How to get commission from me ?
Just note me on fa or in my discord SKVERNC, or in telegram skvernalmp.

I am not sure this is all. But for now it is ^^
