============================================================== -------------------------------------------------------------- PART 0 – TL;DR:
For anyone who just wants to know, I have these base commission templates:
Unspecific Commission = 60$ + 30$ per extra character; You give me a general theme and basic character traits like age and gender, but the specifics are up to me (random character).
Situation Commission = 90$ + 50$ per extra character; For very specific scenarios that I have to be precise with, but the characters can be random and up to me (you can pick age and gender).
Character Commission = 105$ + 60$ per extra character; I draw a specific character based on given reference, and you tell me a general theme, but the specifics of the situation are up to me.
Specific Commission = 135$ + 80$ per extra character; Characters are provided and referenced, and the situation is also a very specific scenario given by you, and I have to be precise with everything.
HOWEVER, my prices can be very dynamic, trying to be fair to each given commission and its needs. For the full specifics of the prices, make sure to check below. That said, there is no need to worry about all that, I have a spreadsheet calculator so if you tell me what you want, I can tell you the price! The information below is mostly for clarity and transparency.
If instead you would like to pay me hourly, it’s just a flat rate of 20$ an hour (fractions taken into consideration). Only recommended if you trust me, as I will not show progress without being paid the elapsed hours up to that point. I keep track of every minute I spend on a drawing, as you can see by those numbers on the top-left of the drawings I post. This can be cheaper or more expensive, but will definitely be more fair to me.
I ALWAYS CHARGE IN USD. BE SURE TO CHECK THE TOS AT THE VERY BOTTOM.
============================================================== -------------------------------------------------------------- PART 1 – PRICE CALCULATION: 1-a) Elements in the drawing: •The background (characters and objects in the background are way simpler and somewhat faceless with little or no detail). •The situation itself and idea behind the drawing (interactions, poses, vibes). •Characters or detailed objects (things that are the focal subject of the drawing).
The price from these is modified by whether the elements are complex or simple, and by how much freedom I have over the idea. Simple things that are up to me will be cheaper. Specific scenarios with specific characters in complicated poses will be more expensive, as it takes a lot more work.
For quick examples, here is a break-down of the templates mentioned above:
Unspecific Commission: You give me a general theme and basic character traits like age and gender, but the specifics are up to me (random character). Background = simple random = 15$; Situation = complicated random = 30$ (+20$ per extra characters); Characters = random = 15$ (+10$ per extra character); TOTAL: 60$ + 30$ per extra character;
Situation Commission: For very specific scenarios that I have to be precise with, but the characters can be random and up to me (you can pick age and gender). Background = simple random = 15$; Situation = complicated specific = 60$ (+40$ per extra characters); Characters = random = 15$ (+10$ per extra character); TOTAL: 90$ + 50$ per extra character;
Character Commission: I draw a specific character based on given reference, and you tell me a general theme, but the specifics of the situation are up to me. Background = simple random = 15$; Situation = complicated random = 30$ (+20$ per extra characters); Characters = referenced = 60$ (+40$ per extra character); TOTAL: 105$ + 60$ per extra character;
Specific Commission: Characters are provided and referenced, and the situation is also a very specific scenario given by you, and I have to be precise with everything. Background = simple random = 15$; Situation = complicated specific = 60$ (+40$ per extra characters); Characters = referenced = 60$ (+40$ per extra character); TOTAL: 135$ + 80$ per extra character;
-------------------------------------------------------------- 1-b) Complexity, detail and artistic freedom: Here is a list of each possibility for the background, the situation and the character types, and how much each of them add to the total:
.................... •BACKGROUND: FREE$ - No background or abstract background: Alpha channel or solid color.
15$ - Simple random background: Everything in low detail and lower effort. Details up to me. I take inspiration from the general idea given, but come up with it myself.
20$ - Simple SPECIFIC background: Everything in low detail and lower effort. But you specify the details. You can tell what you want and where like the configuration of things, even if it’s still simple in quality.
40$ - Detailed random background: Can include shading, many background objects, faceless background characters a lot more detail. Still totally up to me in how I place things and where. The general theme comes from the drawing’s idea.
50$ - Detailed SPECIFIC background: Can include shading, many background objects, faceless background characters a lot more detail. You can specify many details of the background. For when a specific background matters a lot for the idea and you want control over it.
80$ - Extra-complex random background: Very complex and intricate backgrounds, or putting the same level of detail on the background as a character would get in the highest quality. Usually for very scenic pieces that are background-only, or extra-detailed schematic backgrounds showing a lot of information. But everything is still up to me, the way all of that detail is organized.
100$ - Extra-complex SPECIFIC background: Very complex and intricate backgrounds, or putting the same level of detail on the background as a character would get in the highest quality. Usually for very scenic pieces that are background-only, or extra-detailed schematic backgrounds showing a lot of information. But you get to decide how everything is organized, where everything is and what it should look like.
.................... •SITUATION: FREE$ - No situation: If you want, the character can just be standing there doing absolutely nothing. The pose is very simple and boring. THIS COVERS REFERENCE SHEETS.
10$ (+5 per extra character) - Simple random situation: Camera angle or perspective is simple. Poses are simple. Character interactions are simple. Nothing tricky. I decide what those are, based on a given general theme. If you want to describe what is going on, pick specific instead of random.
15$ (+10 per extra character) - Simple SPECIFIC situation: Camera angle or perspective is simple. Poses are simple. Character interactions are simple. Nothing tricky. You tell me what those are, and what goes where, as long as it’s still simple. Describe the specific simple scenario you want.
30$ (+20 per extra character) - Complicated random situation: Poses, character interactions and camera angles can be a lot more complicated, with trickier, more dynamic configurations. I still decide what those would be, based on a given general theme. If you want to describe what is going on, pick specific instead of random.
60$ (+40 per extra character) - Complicated SPECIFIC situation: Poses, character interactions and camera angles can be a lot more complicated, with trickier, more dynamic configurations. The usual commission scenario, where you describe the idea in full. For when you want a more specific scenario where all details matter.
.................... •CHARACTERS / OBJECTS: FREE$ - No characters and no objects: This is for background-only pieces. Important to note that something like a car collection or a spaceship would not count, as each individual vehicle would count as an individual “character”.
5$ - Basic characters/objects: Low detail basic characters, typically things like “anon” characters, stick figures, simple slime/tar/blob monsters or simple creatures like larvae. Simple-looking anatomy lacking in any details. Gender, genitalia can be specified freely. But age only as rough approximation.
15$ (+10 per extra) - Random characters/objects: For normal detail, but looks and design are up to me. You can still specify age, gender, genitalia and maybe species and body type (though it’s up to my interpretation). For objects this can also apply, more ornate than background objects, but still my design.
20$ (+15 per extra) - Described SPECIFIC characters/objects: Normal detail, and you can fully describe what you want them to look like, but without giving image references. You can create characters, and this can be used for creating reference sheets (along with no situation).
30$ (+20 per extra) - Internal SPECIFIC characters/objects: When you want me to draw MY OWN characters. This is for people who liked a certain character in my drawings and wants to see more of them. I have to be comfortable with that character in that situation, though. Asking for the character to be me or Kat grants the other for free (I like when we are a pair and balanced, you pay for one you get the other as bonus). Gender, genitals, age, species and body type might vary depending on the character (they can be for me and Kat, we can be anything).
60$ (+40 per extra) - REFERENCED characters/objects: The more typical commission. For when I need to follow a given reference and it’s not my own character. In order to protect myself, sending me references has a little fee (more on that later).
•PARTIAL CHARACTER DISCOUNT: When a character or focal object are not seen in full, it can have a discount. If I don’t have to draw their whole body, I don’t charge their whole body. Here is a rough example of how it is priced, since this stuff can be complicated and it’s hard to tell the value of what is and isn’t hidden:
75% (25% off) If a lot is showing but not everything, generally more than half the character, or the face and a bit less. This makes it 25% cheaper.
50% (half price) If not a lot is showing but still important. Just head and face would go here. Focus on chest + belly would apply. Entire rear and legs would apply. Things like that.
25% (quarter price) For specific body parts on their own, not much else showing. Examples are like just the breasts, just the soles, just the butt (no bits), just internals of the mouth or internals of other parts and so on.
Conjoined or multifur characters with multiple limbs, heads and torsos might trigger this for the extra parts, but it can be complicated. To be decided on a case-by-case basis if valid. NOTE: Discounts do not apply to the reference fee. NOTE: Discounts apply over the combined character + situation price.
•REFERENCE FEE: I’ve had a hard time with being exposed to things in the past, and it’s not exactly optimal for me to be open to seeing random images. One wrong image could ruin my week! So this is a form of protection, to make sure only people who are committing to the commission send me stuff.
The price is 10$ for showing me a reference sheet that I’ve never seen before.
These are ONE-TIME fees, meaning that once I’ve seen a character or image, I’ll save it in a folder to use as a reference for the current or future drawings. You won’t have to pay this again if you commission the same character after I’ve seen the reference, unless you want to show new references or new drawings.
-------------------------------------------------------------- 1-c) Variations in quality, sketches, lineart, non-complete drawings and so on: So far all prices have been for a full-color drawing of minimal shading (my normal), but it can go cheaper in lower levels of quality, effort or completion (or higher if you want more effort than usual). If you care more about the idea than you care about it looking like a pristine artistic piece, and you’re on a budget, this can help a lot.
The calculation comes on top of the TOTAL SUM drawing elements, like a general percentile modifier. So just take the price it WOULD have been and multiply by the percentages:
Samples of each of those quality levels will be found IN THE COMMISSION SHEET WHEN I FINISH IT (ask me for samples for now). As an example, let’s imagine a 200$ commission:
300% - Extra Shading (very high-quality shading and details, full-color). Price increases to 600$. 200% - Decent Shading (decent shading and details, full-color). Price increases to 400$. 100% - Minimally shaded (very simple shading, full-color). Price stays at 200$. 80% - Flat colors or lineart (colors are for free due to my workflow). Price lowers to 160$. 60% - Detailed sketch (unfinished but good effort). Price lowers to 120$. 25% - Sloppy sketch (very basic and messy). Price lowers to 50$.
75% – Detailed Doodle (decent quality but done in a more doodly style with more freedom and less commitment). Price lowers to 150$. 50% – Basic Doodle (good for concepts that are less visual). Price lowers to 100$. 20% - Scribble (good for concepts that are less visual, can look wonky and silly). Price lowers to 40$. 10% - Low-quality scribble (still works for kinkier fetishes but can look extremely stupid). Price lowers to 20$.
-------------------------------------------------------------- 1-d) Different versions and completion of existing drawings: I also accept commissions for completing drawings I’ve left unfinished, or creating alternative versions of a drawing or situation.
.................... •COMPLETION: Just a simple subtraction of the existing piece’s hypothetical price (if it was commissioned under the current prices) from the hypothetical price the update would have had if it was a stand-alone commission. As an example, imagine there is a sketch you want me to make into flat colors. Take the price the sketch would have costed (based on number of characters and complexity of situation), and subtract that from the price the flat colors would have been. That’s the price of the new level of completion.
Completion should not give you any control over the piece, UNLESS you commissioned the original piece as well. If you want that control, the whole thing should be calculated with the final piece being SPECIFIC, while the subtracting piece isn’t, which would make it more expensive.
.................... •VERSIONS: Versions work similar to completion and are based on how much needs to be changed. Most of the pricing is automatic, given that my prices are already based on what is being created. Versions would just be additional creation.
Minimal changes: FREE For very minimal and easy changes (such as change in dialogue, simple color changes, removing fluids, removing haze, changing color of fluids or haze, hiding backgrounds), granted that you are commissioning or have commissioned the original piece. If the original piece was my idea, or someone else’s commission, then I would charge a fixed fee of 5$ for removing/hiding and 10$ for changing. This is just a buffer against it being totally free for someone to request changes to existing drawings randomly. But again, if it is YOUR OWN commission, then you pay NOTHING for these little changes.
Significant changes: For changes that need to create something new (instead of just hiding things or changing colors), the pricing is only an addition based on the pricing rules discussed so far. Whatever needs to be added will follow the price as if it’s an extra thing. As an example, for alternate versions where the background stays the same, it is not charged as one of the elements. Only what chages.
If you need a character’s lower half to be redrawn (maybe you want them without pants), then you only pay for an extra “half-character”, according to the PARTIAL CHARACTER DISCOUNTS, which would likely be 75% of the total price the character would have had. If you only need something like genitalia of one gender swapped for the other, than that’s the quarter-price discount (25% the price of that character).
The quality modifier then applies on top of that. If you only want your alt-version to be flat-colors, it will get the flat-color discount on top of the partial character discount (assuming your version doesn’t require a full character re-draw). This doesn’t work if I don’t have that version of the original (if I skipped sketch or shaded the color layer). This is rare, so I’ll let you know if it’s the case.
Feel free to ask for your specific case, but depending on what you want to change, or what you want extra, it can be calculated from the systems so far.
Complete alternate versions / extra panels: Of course, this means that if you want EVERYTHING to be different, then it works as a whole new piece. I don’t like charging less just because two things were commissioned together, since that doesn’t make sense in my head (I provide discounts in other ways, which are time-independent), so even if pictures are part of a “set” or sequence, they all get charged individually. The same goes for comic panels. Each panel is like a sequence of another panel.
However, if anything is re-used, then it is not charged again. If the background doesn’t change, you only pay for the background once. If an object keeps being re-used (and doesn’t have to be re-drawn), you only pay for it once.
============================================================== -------------------------------------------------------------- PART 2 – REWARD BONUSES / DISCOUNTS: The bonuses are meant to compensate the somewhat expensive price of my commissions, rewarding recurrent commissioners in the long-term. When certain milestones are reached, they return 5% of their value as a bonus that can be used as a discount. This can result in free commissions. This bonus is accumulated automatically with the total money spent on me (I keep track), and can be used whenever you feel like. It never expires.
-------------------------------------------------------------- 2-a) MILESTONES: •200$ = 20 bonus: For each 200$ spent on me you get a 20$ discount to use on anything. •1000$ = 100 bonus: For each 1000$ spent on me you get a 100$ discount to use on anything (plus previous ones). •5000$ = 250 bonus: For each 5000$ spent on me you get a 250$ discount to use on anything (plus previous ones). •25000$ = 1000 bonus: For each 25000$ spent on me you get a 1000$ discount to use on anything (plus previous ones). •100000$ = 5000 bonus: For each 100000$ spent on me you get a 2000$ (plus ALL previous ones).
-------------------------------------------------------------- 2-b) REPETITIONS: BONUSES COMPOUND! It is also VERY IMPORTANT to note that you KEEP HITTING THE MILESTONES, OVER AND OVER AGAIN. FOREVER. So if you spend a total of 200$, you get the 200$ milestone for the first time. But as soon as you reach a total of 400$, you get it again, accumulating an extra 20 bonus. At 600$ you reach 60 bonus, and so on.
The milestones also do not interfere with one another. At 1000$, you get both milestones, accumulating 100 bonus from the 1000$ and another 100 bonus from the five 200$ milestones, for a total of 200 bonus. At 5000$, you get all three, so 250 bonus from the 5000$, and another 1000 bonus from all others, accumulating 1250 bonus of bonus as soon as the 5000$ mark is crossed.
-------------------------------------------------------------- 2-c) USES AND SPENDING: These bonuses function as discounts for anything you may want. If there is a 750$ commission you’d want, and you have saved up the bonus, you can get the entire thing FOR FREE! On the other hand, if you want to use only part of it, you can do so to get extra versions, or quench details in a given commission, to make it cheaper. It’s up to you.
On spending, treat the bonuses like a piggy bank. More bonuses will come as you continue to spend money on me, and it will only get better, but once the bonus is spent, it’s like the piggy bank goes down in money. This does not interfere with earning more bonuses, as the accumulation of bonus is automatic from the REAL money spent on me.
Bonuses can also be spent immediately. If you have spent a total of 950$ on me, and then get a commission that puts you over 1000$, you can use the 100 bonus instantly, in that very commission, to add extra characters or have more control, if you want. This means that you could get a 250$ commission just by paying 50$ if you’ve accumulated 950$ on me.
I keep track of all of this, of course. It really is as simple as checking all the invoices, summing them up, and then calculating the quotient for each category, summing it all up. Your total bonus balance will always be that formula minus the bonus SPENT.
============================================================== -------------------------------------------------------------- PART 3 – RULES, ALLOWED THEMES: Given my weird and uncomfortable situation with trauma and stuff, there are quite a lot of things I’m NOT willing to draw. This goes over some of that, and other things you shouldn’t do when commissioning me.
-------------------------------------------------------------- 3-a) HOW TO APPROACH ME If you want a commission, PM me about it. Feel free to already have what you want there along with an agreement to the TOS if you wish.
If you need to send any references, please discuss it BEFORE sending. If I need to see new references, that has a fee for exposing me to things I haven’t seen before. The fee for me seeing things will be sent first, and I will expect payment on those before I even look at the references. Only then I will send the invoice to the actual commission (this is to protect myself).
The communication should be about what you want me to draw, and how it’s going. I might provide a discord contact to commissioners who prefer it, but agreement to the TOS must be done in PMs.
-------------------------------------------------------------- 3-b) RULE 34 I changed my mind, I’m willing to do this now, but it might not go super well. ONLY LIMITED TO BIGGER FRANCHISES (no asking for a random indie creator’s characters). I should also point out that if the source material fits the stuff I would have an issue with, there is a very high chance it will bother me enough that I will refuse, so avoid darker franchises.
Please understand that doing it too on-model might be very difficult. If you absolutely need it, consider paying me by the hour so I can take as long as I need to in order to satisfy how on-model you want it to be.
-------------------------------------------------------------- 3-c) COMMISSIONING MY OWN CHARACTERS I’m generally okay with being paid to draw my own characters in situations you might enjoy, granted that I like those situations. However, due to my own mental inhibitions and some OCD stuff, I might not want to put characters through situations I consider to be “out of theme”. Because of this, I might refuse to do it even if it might seem to make sense.
•I won’t draw most of my characters interacting with things from outside my universes. No cross-overs, no interactions with other people’s characters. The only exception to this is when it’s a character I’ve designed to do exactly that. I might be willing to do so with some versions of Kat and/or myself, but that is also touchy, so I might refuse a lot.
•I won’t draw things that go against canon for my characters and my settings. I know it’s silly, but the OCD is too strong. Things that are out-of-character or that wouldn’t happen in that setting will bother me a bit. Asking for something that everyone does (like being naked at some point) is fine, because then it would make sense.
•Figuring out which characters I’m touchy about can be confusing. I create a lot of random characters on-the-spot, and some people take a liking to those, but I don’t feel these inhibitions towards them. It should be handled on a case-by-case basis, depending on whether or not the character is dear to me, or if it’s just a random one.
Also as mentioned in pricing, if you want me to draw myself or draw Kat, you get the other for free. We come as a pair, since I like keeping a balance in how often each of us is drawn.
-------------------------------------------------------------- 3-d) THEMES I AVOID AND THE EXCEPTIONS There are many themes that bother me. Some themes just make me feel guilty/worried, but other themes can really ruin my day, week or month, and have me thinking about it ever since, which only hurts me. I apologize, but I can be very touchy with these things, and avoid drawing some things even if they are safe but COULD look like a bad thing. Denser info about that stuff HERE ([08] CONTENT OF MY TRAUMA). As of recent times (July 2024), the older journals aren’t super accurate because I did improve a bit, but still mostly applies.
As a TL;DR: I will avoid feel-bad content, grimdark settings, dark depictions of sexuality, bad endings, characters dying or crying and true evil cruelty.
Given that I’m very touchy, there can be many annoying edge cases, so I’ll try to go through everything in more detail below.
•ACCEPTABLE GORE: Allowed, given that the character enjoys it, and they are somewhat formless like slime/goo/putty/clay. Slime-flesh gore is okay with smiles and pleasure. It needs to be chill and casual, as extreme sensations can make it look bad, even if it’s not MEANT to be. That would bother me. Only valid for characters that are clearly adult-looking.
•GENERAL GORE, MUTILATION, HARM: More “realistic” or “serious” forms of gore will bother me. If enjoyed, I’m not going to be bothered too much by being asked, but I will probably still refuse to draw it. It has the potential to really bother me, though, even if it’s just the peril or risk of harm. Will not draw dangerous situations. If more casual, inconsequential, non-serious and totally enjoyed by the character, there is a SLIGHT possibility I’d do it.
•SET-UPS, IMMINENT STUFF, OPEN-ENDINGS: While I’ve been making efforts to get over it in cases where the characters enjoy it, the default is that I WON’T draw this. This means things that COULD be the set-up for or allow for easy interpretation of very harmful things happening to a character. If there is an obvious risk of something precious being lost or destroyed, then I treat it as if the thing is happening. Feels the same to me. It must be obvious that a bad outcome is NOT LIKELY. And that the character will be okay and not suffer any distress. Implicit information or dialogue is not taken into account, the scene needs to speak for itself. EXAMPLES: Serious open-ended kidnappings, mind-possession, absorption/vore, permanent inanimate transformations, abandonment, character drama or any situations that could be easily interpreted to lead to these.
•FEAR, WORRY: Depending on the situation, expressions of fear and worry can be okay, given that it is in a lighthearted and harmless context. An example of this is when a character is given a challenge that is a bit too tough but that will still be fun, or when they are a bit nervous. Sexualizing fear itself, like arousal from being afraid, startled, or terrified will worry me even in a positive or pleasurable context.
•STRONG EMOTIONS, CRYING, SOBBING, TEARS: Strong POSITIVE emotions and extreme expressions of intensity and being overwhelmed are fine, given that the context is non-perilous. Tears, however, trigger a small issue I have and I would like to avoid any crying or sobbing, even if it is happy sobbing. Tears streaming down should be avoided, but little cute tears on the eye (not running down cheeks) combined with happiness or positive sensations are okay.
•NEGATIVE EMOTIONS, SUFFERING: Nope. Absolutely not. Things like suffering, misery, hopelessness, genuine despair, agony or any other dark and bleak emotions would bother me A LOT. Way more than happy snuff. If the character would rather have it stop, be over with, or get out of that situation, I’m probably going to feel bothered even if the situation itself isn’t that bad.
•BAD ENDINGS: I consider bad endings to be when a character goes through something very FINAL that takes away something very precious from them or those close to them. This causes distress and suffering with their situation becoming worse than it was, in their own perception. This is the type of stuff that really bothers me the most. Grim stuff, tragedy, shocking stuff or disregard for an individual’s fate or existence might get me to be hostile towards you, since I seriously dislike it, and it stresses me a lot.
•CRUELTY, ABUSE, MEAN STUFF: Another thing that might get me to be hostile, because I have serious trauma with this. It’s what bothered me the most about the things I regret seeing. Genuine intent to harm, desire to see another character get a bad fate, or pleasure/satisfaction in someone getting a bad fate will bother me a lot. This means being genuinely evil or having genuine disregard for the other character’s life/safety/happiness. It doesn’t matter if the victim wants/desires it, secretly or not. If there is genuine pleasure in something bad happening to someone else, yikes. Cruelty in the context of playful sadomasochism is absolutely fine, this is about serious evil towards another character. I’m only okay with sadism if the sadist takes proxy pleasure from a masochist liking it, and the situation is not perilous in any way.
•SELF-DESTRUCTIVENESS: Similar to the point above, but when a character has disregard for their own self, or a desire to be cruel to themselves, or to suffer a bad fate. Masochism is fine, but if it feels like it’s a bit too dark, or like it’s too self-destructive, then it bothers me. I don’t know where that line is, so I can be very touchy with this. If I feel like the drawing could be used as fuel for something bad, maybe with a dark story tied to it, then I’m gonna refuse even if you don’t intend it to be that. In the past, I’ve noticed that some people enjoy putting their sonas through really bad stuff, depicting their sonas as not wanting or not liking it. While this would fall under the point above, it shows that some people have desires for self-punishment or self-abuse, projected through their sonas. This is what worries me about masochistic things going too far. I know what people can like, and it bothers me.
•DEATH AND PERIL (EVEN IF DESIRED): Expanding on the self-destructive point, I will avoid destruction of the character’s being, body, consciousness or self. Even just the risk of that destruction such as peril or imminent things are considered the same. Even “non-real” depictions like dreams, simulations, imagined or pretended cases count. However, thanks to the afterlife system I’ve been building for my universes for the past few years, I don’t think the total destruction of one’s being is even possible in my universes anymore… which has changed the way I interface with these ideas a bit… Like I said before, though… as a default, the answer is no, just to be safe… even if now my only major issue with it is if the character doesn’t like/want it. Either way, for “REAL” death where there is no afterlife, that will ALWAYS be a big no. Final ending = no.
•TRANSFORMATIONS THAT IMPACT THE SELF: Very questionable point. Some transformations can be effectively the same as the above, which bother me if they endanger the character’s self. It can be even worse now, because a destruction of the fundamental self would be worse than just a destruction of the body, assuming a good afterlife system. If the transformation is somehow portrayed as the character still being there unharmed, then it will probably be fine. If the transformation makes the character’s self or consciousness disappear, then it bothers me. Reversible character transformations (where one character turns into another character in body, personality and maybe memories) is a grey area that can be fine, but I can be very touchy about it.
•LUST OR SEXUALITY IN A NEGATIVE AND UNDESIRABLE LIGHT: I don’t like when lust/sexuality/desire is depicted as bad, or leading to negative consequences that cause regret. I also don’t like when it facilitates/lures characters into doing things that makes them feel worse about their morality afterwards. Or when it facilitates/lures characters into doing things that harm themselves or others, such as bad or risky behavior. If the character is being tempted by lust towards something bad, then it really bothers me.
•DISREGARD FOR MORALITY IN SERIOUS SITUATIONS: This is when characters disregard virtue or morality in serious or realistic situations, with realistic risks or consequences that mirror the real world. If it can result in something that would be wrong or distasteful in real life, and the setting sees it as the same, then it bothers me. Perversity is fine, but there should be no risk of distasteful or undesired outcomes. If the risk is portrayed as real, and the consequences are bad, then I won’t do it. This can be avoided if it’s not a bad consequence or the setting doesn’t see it the same way as real life does (granted that it’s not bad for other reasons in this list).
Note that this doesn’t cover only NSFW stuff. As I see it, these bad things in SFW drawings is just as bad, if not worse in some cases. There are more cases where I could refuse things if I get bad vibes from them, but I can’t describe those, so it will have to be on a case-by-case basis. Feel free to ask for clarification if you have some edge cases that you think I neglected here. Again, to understand why I’m so touchy about it, HERE ([08] CONTENT OF MY TRAUMA).
Other than these, I’m pretty much okay with lots of weird, bizarre, gross, kinky and perverted things, as well as SFW and tame or “cool” and “epic” stuff.
============================================================== -------------------------------------------------------------- PART 4 – TERMS OF SERVICE: I’m not too picky about this, it’s just to cover my basis, better have it than not. As a note also please don’t mention it being pornographic content to PayPal or any affiliated entities. Art and porn can have different connotations that can spell trouble when it comes to legal stuff, so never mention it as porn.
To agree with the TOS for a commission, I’d like you to send me a PM detailing what you want and that you agree to the following terms (they must be listed on the PM):
•Commissioner agrees with the pricing rules and calculations set up by the artist. •Commissioner agrees with the themes that the artist will refuse to draw, and agrees to not expect a completed work if their requested idea was a forbidden theme. •Commissioner agrees that the artist will be the one sending the invoice, and that the commissioner will not send the artist any money on their own. •Commissioner agrees that they must pay a fee if the artist needs to be shown external art or references that the artist has never seen before. •Commissioner agrees that if the artist is made to see external art or references, the fee will be paid even if the commission is canceled. •For pre-caulculated prices, commissioner recognizes that the artist will only start working on the commission after the payment arrives on the artist’s PayPal. •For hourly pay, commissioner recognizes that the price must be paid for the elapsed hours before the artist sends an update. •Commissioner agrees to not disclose the artist’s Discord contact to non-commissioners. •Commissioner agrees to not give the artist’s PayPal address to others. •Commissioner agrees to make no changes in the idea or concept of the drawing after payment is accepted. Previous messages will be the only basis for the drawing. •If a reference is provided, commissioner agrees to take responsibility for the ownership of the character, or having permission from the owner.
•Commissioner is allowed to repost the commission anywhere they want, no need to ask permission, but naming the artist, of course. •By default, the artist will post the commission unless asked otherwise. The commissioner must notify the artist if they do not want the piece to be made public. •By default, the artist will not mention or tag the commissioner in the description by name directly, and will only refer to the commissioner anonymously as “the commissioner”. The commissioner agrees to notify the artist if they want to be identified instead.
Just type something like “I agree with the terms:” and copy-paste these points above in a PM.
Should be the same as normal. I keep commissioners anonymous by default, unless you really want me to shout you out.
If instead I'm not even supposed to POST or share the drawing... that's kinda risky because I'm not perfect and I could share it by accident since my backlog of drawings is so huge, but I promise I would try my best to remind myself.
