OK TO DRAW:
• ocs
• fanart
• minor injuries
• creatures
• multiple charactersWILL NOT DRAW:
• explicit gore or violence
• mecha
• furries (kemonomimi OK)
• explicit nsfwDrawn references for the character wanted are highly recommended and prioritized, but if not possible, online images and a description of what the character should look like is enough to start working on it. (Be advised, if done this way, the results will vary more and the model may or may not be exactly what you expected as there was no clear reference to start with)I will follow the reference you give me as close as possible; once the rough draft is finalized, you cannot give me any new references to follow; you may only do this for small tweaks.If you have a drawn reference for a character, but would prefer me to draw them in a different art style, please let me know before starting and I will gladly adapt the character to the style you want within my abilities.I will do my best to send consistent updates once a milestone is achieved in the process of the piece, and you will be able to ask for as many updates as you like throughout the whole process. I also keep a public queue tracker visible that shows how far along each commission is in the process.
