NOTES AND RULES

Notes on prices:

length (with samples):
head shot ([link] [link]) -> starting price (SP)
chest up ([link]) -> SP+$5
waist up ([link]) -> SP+$7
full body ([link]) -> SP+$10

size of original:
traditional: i'll do everything on 9"x12"
for watercolor pieces, i can do as big as B2 (negotiable for bigger than 9x12")

# of characters per piece
logically, i should double the price if for example i'm doing 2 characters, but i'm just being insane, so let's talk about it, ok?
detail - price also depends on how complicated it is.
i do put much value on traditional pieces in terms of effort and difficulty. and lack of ctrl+z.

fu-fu can do:
boys
men
BL (Boy's Love) <3
original characters
fanarts are ok (but expect me to add a touch of my style to it)
no background or simple background only

fu-fu may do:
chibi / kids - it depends on the character, so references first.
girls - please ask me first, then we'll discuss it.
complicated costumes - references are a MUST.

fu-fu won't do:
yuri / shoujo-ai
explicit stuff. i would do sexy and suggestive but that's about it.
animals and other non-human-like creatures


HOW TO?
send me a note.
please include your username, and info about your commission (characters, references, size, etc.)


PAYMENT
Payment would be done through Paypal (either with a paypal transfer or credit card payment.)
_{if currencies confuse you like they do me, please use this Paypal fee calculator.}
full payment comes after i show the initial sketch and it is approved by commissioner-dear.
once the sketch is approved, there's no turning back, ok? please understand that it's hard to make last-minute adjustments especially with traditional pieces.
i won't be doing the finishing without the full payment. i'm trying to achieve a compromise here: the commissioner has to approve before s/he pays anything, but s/he has to pay full before i do all the work so that i'm assured i'm not wasting any effort. fair enough?


RULES (?)

i am very open to suggestions from the commissioner, but i have the final word, ok?
for original characters, please give me detailed descriptions (and reference pics if possible). giving a personality background helps a lot too.
in the case of traditional art, i'll ship the original to the commissioner if s/he wants, so talk to me about that.
please be patient with your commission, i'll do it as fast as i can. but i don't draw full-time because i go to university. i will note if i can't finish the sketch in 2 weeks. :9
i'll be posting images of the commission here in my dA account, watermarked and credited to the commissioner.
i'll sign the piece as the artist even if you are the commissioner. if you have a problem with that, please tell me.
please refrain from posting the commission piece (a scan, a picture, the digital image, etc) anywhere else after you receive it. if you should, please tell me, and please credit properly. i would also require a little in-page non-obstrusive watermark.

if you have any more questions, please include it in your note. please do read through everything before sending me a note. it's really simple, srsly.


THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATRONAGE.
