Other Info

I’m back home from my Europe trip! However, I start my senior year of college on August 26th. I will be juggling classes, work, personal life, and commissions! Do not worry too much, as I have my mental health way more in control versus my past semesters (so far).


How Do my Commissions Work?

Upon Payment, I will start as soon as I can. I factor in college, patreon, earlier commissions, and especially my health and motivation. It may take 2 weeks to get your first progress shot. If you see that I’ve suddenly stopped pumping out art, it’s because I’m taking a break to heal so I won’t get burnout. Non-animated commissions like fullbodies WILL be completed in a span of 1-2 months! Animations could be 2-4 months, depending on length and complexity.

This is no longer a way to take commissions, the last few people here just will guarantee get a commission once I’m ready.

Pricing

Dragon In a Mug: $160-200
Invisible Barrier: $110
Boot YCH: $125
Little Warrior YCH: $75

Your own character will be animated in the spot of the sketched character

The price may be a bit higher if I deem a character will take me a long time to animate+color their design.Extreme complex designs will take me double the time to complete. Therefore, the price will be 40-60% higher than the given default price.

Other Work I’ll Do

- Randomized character design, this means I can design characters for you as long as there’s artistic freedom
- Concept art. I can create scenes for your characters in settings in which is movie-like, but I may put on fees if it’s difficult.
- Comics. I will do comics as long as the price is good.
- Banner art. I will need size dimensions
- Art made specifically to become pins, stickers, magnets, etc. This must be for personal use only and not for you to recreate and sell. I will provide the art but not the stickers/magnets/pins
- I can help design a logo for you if needed

Vrchat Retextures

After some asking, I am allowing Vrchat avatar retextures now. However, thee are some things to consider:
- I cannot modify any part of your vrchat avatar. I do not know how to 3d model at all. I can only recolor it to your characters colors as closely as possible and change the blendshapes already given by the avatar creator.
I can:
- Set up your character in unity and upload it
- get the textures and shading set up
HOWEVER;
If I do not have the avatar bought, I will have to buy it. I so I will have to charge extra so that i am still receiving money.
Ex: I buy the model for $30, i charge $60 to make up for it. I am earning $30 for that retexture.
ANOTHER THING TO CONSIDER;
If you want it private, you will have to have unity setup and everything to upload it yourself. This means you also have to have the avatar bought so that I can send you the files.
If you want it as uploaded public, you do not have to buy it as I will simply upload it myself. We can meet in game and I’ll let you clone it.
(However, some artists TOS state to not upload their models as public. I’d have to check their TOS first)
Avatars I already have bought:
- Nardoragon
- Vernid HD
- Bubblegumbark raptor
- Spiri’vali
- Moonfang Dragon (no public uploads allowed)
- Dromeowrym v2 (no public uploads allowed)

Price range - $30-70 depending on the character design complexity
