With every commission, included with the price tag, you will always get the following:
A few sketches for you to see and then decide which one I should continue with.
Up to 3 free changes or adjustments to your preferred sketch.
A final sketch for you to approve, which will be the base for the full-color version.
Insight and involvement deciding the colors and mood of the piece.
Full resolution file of the final artwork, usually in PNG file format.
At your request, I can also provide other formats, smaller sizes, close-ups or trimmed versions of the image.
The license, meaning, the right to use the image for any non-commercial purpose you wish.
Your license will be worldwide, meaning you may freely use the image no matter where you are. (As long as you don’t move out of the planet of course, then we’ll have to talk).
This license is also perpetual, meaning it doesn’t ever expire!

What is the process?
After reading through this page, go to my Commission Request Form and fill in all required information. Make sure to include clear descriptions of what you want. If you are not sure what details to include, you can get an idea by looking at the answer to the third question in this section.
After you send the request, I need to review it. If I find it all correct and acceptable, I will contact you to discuss any details and send you a quote. If you don't hear from me within a week, that means for some reason I have rejected your request.
After payment is done, I may ask for a few more details and start working on your piece. I will send sketches for you to review, at which point you may ask for up to three changes free of charge, once we settle on a final sketch, I will proceed to render the illustration. You may ask for WIPs during this process, if you wish. I may contact you during this time to ask questions or your opinion on some matters. Once the illustration is complete, I will contact you again for delivery.
How long does it take? Can I make it happen faster?
For realistic commissions the whole process takes somewhere between three to twelve weeks, depending on how much work I have to do and how quickly we settle on a final sketch.
For stylized portraits the whole process may take somewhere between three to thirty days, once again depending on how much work I have to do and how fast we settle on the final sketch.
If you want to get it faster, I charge a premium of an additional 30% from the order's total to move you to the top of the queue and have it delivered in less time.
What information about my character do you require for the commission?
For the Commission Request Form or any inquiries, you don't have to be too specific just yet. Just give me a general description of your character(s) appearence, pose, and the scene you would like to see them in. Once I accept your commission, I will ask for a full brief on your character, so be prepared to provide me with the following information:
Start by telling me what universe your character(s) belongs to, and their race/species. If applicable, tell me your character's class, and VERY briefly tell me their backstory.
Then comes the most important part. I need a detailed physical description of your character(s), make sure to include all of these in your description:
- Apparent age and gender (What they look like in human equivalent)
- Skin, hair and eye color
- Hairstyle (A photo reference is highly encouraged)
- Body type (Athletic, muscular, skinny, frail, busty, tall, short, etc.)
- Distinguishing features (Tattoos, scars, freckles, marks, etc.)
- Clothing and Armor (Try to provide visual references for all of these)
- Weapons, props, powers, and spells (Only the ones you want in the artwork)
- Any other important physical features
Please provide me with as many image references as you can (especially for stuff like Hairstyles, Armor, weapons, and tattoos) otherwise I might have to charge you a little bit more since I will have to spend time to find and collect those myself.
Last but not least, I need you to tell me about your character's personality, since that usually reflects on the pose and expression. If you already have an idea for the pose, expression and background you want, please let me know and try to provide me with some references.
Always remember: an image is worth a thousand words, so make sure to include as many reference images as needed to clearly explain what you wish to see in your piece.
What's the difference between "Lite" and "Full" NSFW?
By Lite NSWF I mean revealing, sensual or spicy characters and situations. Classy nudity is also fine.
By Full NSFW I mean lewd sexual content (i.e. showing any genitalia).
If you are not sure whether something is lite or full nsfw, you can always ask me when submitting your commission.
What can I use the commission for?
These are private commissions, meaning they are for your personal use only. You are free to share the image online and on your social media (Just please tag me). You may also use the images for your streams. However, you MAY NOT use these images for publishing or selling merchandise as this is considered Commercial Use and requires you to negotiate a different kind of contract with me so that I can grant you the proper License. If you are interested in this kind of commission, please contact me through the Contact Form.
Can you also send me a print of the image?
I do not provide printing services, but I can upload your image to my RedBubble Shop and you can order a print (Or any other merch containing your image) from there. Just let me know in advance so I can make the necessary arrangements.
How often do you open commissions again and how will I know?
I strongly recommend you join my mailing list and follow me on social media, I will usually announce there when I will be opening commissions again and how many slots will be available.
You may find my social media links at the top right of this page, or following this link.
