Important Notes
- By previous experiences, I have difficult to work on some commissions that the character design or the theme doesn’t really fit my style. It cause me spending too much time and the result was not good either. Therefore I decide to only take commissions if the characters design and theme/details interests me. That means it’s not “first come first service”. The Client needs to email me the commission form first, if I have feeling to the characters and the commission ideas, I will accept it and give a quote. Please don’t be upset if I didn’t take your commission, it doesn’t mean your character isn’t good or anything, it’s just me don’t have enough skill to draw your commission idea.
If you are not sure I will accept your commission or not, here are some keywords to help.
What I enjoy to draw–
What I may have difficult to draw or not really interested in–
=Any man-made complex stuff, like weapons/ machines/ armors/ buildings…ect.
=Very complex designed characters.
=Characters have too many accessories or complex clothes.
=Characters have unclear ref arts that I can’t sure what the features are.
=Copyright characters.
=Asking me to draw the SAME pose as others arts.
=Hard core sex, like group sex/rope/watersport/tools using…ect.
What I will not to draw for any reason–
- English is not my first language, so sending me reference pictures always better than writing a detailed description to me. I may not read a long description but choose to reject your commission, because reading took me a lot of time and I may also misunderstand something. Please do not use the words you think that I am supposed to know. Please use STANDARD ENGLISH and punctuation.
- I try hard to keep my artworks original, but I can’t make sure every character or detail that The Client asks are not violate copyright. If my commission works have any copyright violated, The Client has to be responsible for it, not me.
- I accept fanart commissions, but I may only accept what I’m good at, like TheLionKing, Balto, WolfRain…ect . If the commission gets any copyright issues, I will NOT responsible for it but The Client should.

I will reply your mail to let you know if I accept your commission or not. If I do, I will add you in my working list after you confirm the total price. If I can’t accept it, I will let you know the reason, and you can still try to change the details if there are slots left.
- I usually reply emails within 1 to 3 working days, if I failed to respond your email more than 7 days, please try resend it. If you still don’t get any response, please use FA note or Twitter message to contact with me.
- You can always try to email me when the commissions are open, there is no time limited. Once the slots are full, I will close it and will reopen again when I finish them.
- Since I need to make sure you’re a trustworthy client, I will ask the payment to be finished before I start to draw anything. Please don’t worry if I will not draw your commission. I take this business for over 10 years but never take money to draw nothing, or never return the money for the reason like art blank.
- You can cancel your commission requirement at anytime before the payment. After complete the payment, you can change some details before I sketch. But if the changes cause the cheaper price, I won’t refund the payment.
- Once I receive the full payment, I will work on it and send you WORK IN PROGRESS pictures as soon as possible. Please always check your email for the WIPs and give feedback to help me continue the commission work. If I don’t receive any response from you over one month after the latest contact, you will be removed from my list automatically and I won’t refund. If you back to contact with me again, I will put you back in the last slot in my current round of commission.
- There are usually 3 stages of WIPs: rough sketch, detailed sketch + simple coloring , and the final finished art. You could ask big changes at the sketch stage, and minute fixings at the other 2 stages. Please try to ask all the fixings at once to save our time, if you ask over 4 times about fixing during the commission period, I have to ask extra fee for overtime working.
- After the final stage was confirmed, I will send you the official finished commission work and a smaller size with watermarks for web uploading. A commission period will close and hope we all have a happy deal.
- If you are happy with my service and back to commission me again, you will be a return client. Return client could finish payment after confirm the rough sketch, and I usually won’t reject return clients even the commission is close.
- If I may delay your commission, I will try to let you know. However I try my best to keep all my works done on time, so please don’t worry too much about my progress or keep asking an update. Please don’t rush me, it won’t make any good to your commission.
- My working list only means “who commission” and “what I’m working on”. It doesn’t mean the order of priority. l only draw what I have mood to draw at that time.
- If you are on my working list and you’ve been waiting for 3 or more months, please check my journal or email me to see if I was delay by something. If I do delay your commission, please understand that life can’t be controlled always, and I also need a rest sometimes. XP
