if you wish to ever pay for wares:
i generally do not like to standardise prices on my commission art, because difficulty and time spent and resources are so variable from request to request and standardising costs is giving equivalence to a drawing of a character with simple clothing versus one with detailed armor which I just feel isn’t fair, so I charge mostly on a case-to-case basis depending on how many characters are there in the piece, the complexity of each, et cetera.
However, some general guidelines that apply to most things, in case you decide a custom abomination by me is essential in your existence:
- I do not draw traditional art commissions. This is because the logistics of scanning, post production, and file-sharing complicate exponentially/take longer to do
- I still am a stupid autist, so in order to not damage myself psychologically with stress/overwork there is also a margin of complexity I am willing to do before I snap in half like a twig, so don’t expect to ask a 35 character group shot with a perfect perspective background and get a yes
- despite you offering me money I still am within the right to just say no if I find what you want of me to be too outside the conceptual zone of what I draw
- look at my style, engrave my artwork in your eyeballs and optic nerve before you request, because that is the visual language you’re gonna get in your piece, don’t expect me to do a sugoi anime moe girl (seriously why do so many people ask for stuff outside of the artist’s visual language?)
- nice full colouring is gonna be more expensive... that’s just how it be on this hell of an earth
the variables I take into account for charging:
- how many waifus are depicted in the scene
- whether the waifus are sketchy, clean-looking, or coloured
- if the waifus are coloured, how complex the level of colouring is (whether it is shaded or has unusual lightning, that kind of thing)
- how detailed/hard to draw/lengthy to draw the waifus are
the medium for payment:
payment unfortunately can only be done realistically through PayPal cause I live in a third world shithole with a third world shithole bank account— transferring money directly to me is neither easy nor cheap. PayPal is the least contrived and least expensive way to go about it (and i still had to do some contrived endeavours to get the PayPal money to my bank account lol, but that’s been sorted now)
since i am in a third world shithole, PayPal will charge you an extra tax for sending me the money and, when I get the money, it will charge me another tax to put it in my account. Fortunately, my currency is garbage, so that second tax is not that expensive (converted to USD). When I give you the price I will add the taxes to it, and give you the whole number with tax included
what can I make sure you will deny drawing outright?
nice of you to ask my dear
this is the list of things I will absolutely say “no” to and you can’t change my mind
- political commentary content. I will happily draw your character but the moment you make me stick 35 pride flags and scream about fascism OR wear a MAGA hat and yell about those darn Mexicans, that will be a hard no and you can also suck my astral cock
- zoophilia. in the words of shigeru miyamoto: please do not do that
- minors in sexual situations. I have narratives about coming of age that include implied scenarios of 16-17 y/o teenagers doing exploration inherent of the transition to adulthood but doing this for someone else is somewhere between risqué/creepy to outright illegal/against ToS. so I’m not riskin it man, not even for money
- vorarephilia. No (see below-er)
- vomit. Also no (see below)
- human discharge pictures (pictures with piss and shit involved), pictures showing excessive, detailed drool/snot, fetishes related to sweat/stink, fart stuff, burp stuff, inflation. This is merely because of autism, all of these things I find disgusting to a near traumatising degree, and I don’t think I could draw them without me fucking barfing or feeling like I’m in a torture chamber all the while. So, no
- toilet humor, for the same reason stated above
- fetishised and eroticised gore and violence. The reason I draw gore and disturbing themes is to get them out of my system, I don’t get off to them—they unsettle me deeply, and I don’t like painting them in a positive light
- hate speech in general, not only is that against TOS but it’s also like... why (this ALSO includes “kill all men” type of things btw)
- animal cruelty. Just no
the rest of things are too much in a grey zone for me to fully reject them and depend very heavily on contextual information so please ask. Generally though I love eroticism, fetish art is Hell for me 85% of the time unless it’s extremely vanilla shit like lingerie, so you can reasonably expect a negative a lot of the time. I’m not afraid of dark, brooding themes, but I also don’t endorse painting them as a good thing, so bear that in mind
ships i’m Mostly okay with unless you’re shipping someone with their dog or an adult and a child or some shit like that... the fuck is wrong with you human sibling get help lol
being mostly okay with ships also extends to erotic nsfw—but a huge parameter of my explicit art is it has to be tasteful, otherwise it will feel like torture don’t do that to me lol
i hate hard drugs to Hell and back so the furthest you can go substance-wise is probably weed or plant stuff like DMT/ceremonial drugs. Cos drug addiction is fucking destructive and terrifying and I hate it
If you come to me with a prompt that is not something I would be happy with posting and showing to the world you can bet 2 whole asses I will say no without a sliver of regret
