Over the years I've gotten a better idea of what things I'm able to work with that I generally enjoy and thusly stay motivated to do. So keep the following things in mind before you request a commission from me and it'll reduce the odds that I don't take it.

First off if you are nitpicky do not ask for a commission. I have a tendency of finishing a picture in one sitting with no preview sketches, this is why I ask for a lot of details up front. There's sometimes an exception to this when I work on larger projects, and even then I prefer all the details to be upfront.

General Procedure Overview
When I'm open for commissions I'll open a journal for it
- - The journal is pretty much open indefinitely, though it's not guaranteed that I'll take it on.
- - I'm unlikely to take unprompted commissions, not impossible though; I would need to be highly interested to do so.
Leave a reply in the journal with your character reference and other relevant details
- - Do not note me your commission unless you specifically want to keep it a secret or surprise for someone else.
- - What commissions I take is highly dependent on my mood (which unfortunately can be rather unstable at times).
- - I usually go through my journal roughly on a first come first serve basis.
- - I will likely complete your commission without confirmation if it's within the first two-weeks of the journal post.
- - You can be vague with larger/complicated projects; if I'm interested I'll ask you to note me with more details.
- - If your request has been sitting there for longer than a couple of weeks I'll likely try to get your attention to see if you are still interested.
- - Please do not request more than one commission per journal, I do want to try to give everyone a shot at something per go around.
I'll send you a note when I've completed work. I can do some minor alternations if wanted at this point
- - You can do whatever you want with the image, so feel free to post when and wherever you see fit.
- - I try to post the image within a week of completion, though my mood can delay this for months.
- - If you write a story in regards to the finished piece, I can link to your posting of said story if you want.

Character Guidelines
I primarily work with anthropomorphic characters, I have negative interest in working with characters that look too human (particularly the face). An exception to this would be in non-kink situations.

I prefer to work with characters that have a roughly humanoid shape, other character shapes (ferals, naga, taurs, multiple limbs, ect) will require a pose reference and even then I do not guarantee a good outcome for how it comes out.

I avoid over-designed characters that are covered with many intricate details, though due to the nature of most of my work this can be easily worked around by having such things covered up.


References
You need to provide a character reference at minimum, I do not work from text only descriptions; the quality of the reference doesn't matter much so long as it highlights your character's primary defining features. I would even accept a horrible scribble put together in MS Paint if you provide color samples and whatever species it is.

If you have multiple reference pictures pick one that best reflects the body shape and another that best reflects the colors. If you're going to link me to a bunch of images tell me which ones are actually relevant.


Describe what you want in detail I'm not a mind reader
This ranges from pose, what is shown, or not shown, mood, background. I'm not a huge fan of artistic license, I know other artists are; but again I'm not one of those people. I just try to draw what I personally find visually appealing, and that's as close to my 'artistic license' as I get. I like to test and express myself on my own time with my own characters when I feel the need arises. I'm not comfortable with working with other people's characters on ideas I've not yet expressed.


I typically don't do back and forths
Or in other words when I read over commission request I'll do it and finish it or I skip it. I don't agonize over pose or press for details that often. Once again, I know other artists do, I don't. The only exception to this if I'm streaming while I'm working on your particular image, then you're free to poke and prod me about this and that all you want.

Another exception to this is on larger projects, in where getting things 'perfect' is more important.


Larger Projects
If you do have a larger project in mind and I have some interest in doing it I'll probably note you to see what can be worked out in that regards. Larger projects tend to be multi-page comics or animated works.


Make sure you have permission
If you're including other characters that are not your own, make sure you have permission. I'm personally not a big fan of surprises, because when it comes to surprises most of the time it turns out it's something horrible. Additionally I also avoid copyrighted characters.


Payments
I won't hound you for money, the prices I list or quote are more of guidelines or suggestions anyways. I only ask for payment after I'm done an image so you can judge for yourself how much it's worth to you or how much you're willing to pay for it. Which means yes that you can walk away from an image and pay zero dollars for it, it just means that what I did was worthless; and I can accept that (I sometimes feel I've done a less than adequate job) though at the same time, it just means I'm probably going to skip any future commission requests from you. Though for people reading this and thinking "OMG so many people must stiff you!" Let me say that most people tip me more than I request, and that they do enjoy what I put together for them enough to give me a little extra. That and I haven't had anyone deliberately not pay me (sometimes life happens, and life can throw a looooot of things at you)


Recommended Amounts
I try to work for $10-20 an hour, and a single full-body character drawing will take around 2-4 hours depending on complexity. It's a pretty broad range, but again it's pretty much up to you to decide what the end result is worth. If you have a larger project idea in mind, give me a budget and I'll do my best to work around it.


Other Thoughts
I'll change the information inside here if and when I have information I need people to be aware of when commissioning me.
