A BRIEF FAQ:

1. What will you do? What won’t you do?

Yes: Portraits, waist-ups, full-bodies. Simple backgrounds.  Simple typography. Outfit/fashion design.

No: Chibis, anthro, mecha, and sci-fi or fantasy creatures that aren’t grounded in Earth’s animal kingdom. It’s the difference between a sphinx and the thing from Alien.

Regarding racy material: Let’s talk. I’m not opposed to lingerie or pinup poses, or “life drawing”-style artistic nudity. But no sex, erections, gore, or anything like that.

2. How should I pay you?

Paypal. No cash due until you’ve approved the final draft. This is in the event that I have to make you wait - see Question 5.

3. What am I getting for my money?

Once I’ve worked on it some - probably once I’ve finished the lineart - I’ll send a WIP to make sure it’s all right. Once it passes inspection, I’ll finish it. You’ll then receive the original .PSD and a high-res .JPG and .PNG, to make prints or wallpaper or stare at as long as you like.

I’ll post a low-res version on this blog if it’s all right with you, but you’re the only one that gets the high-res files.

4. Why are your prices so high?

My prices average between $3 and $4 an hour. California minimum wage is $8.

5. How long will it take you?

Ah yes. The sixty-four-thousand-dollar question.

If you want to commission me during the academic year, you need to understand that I am a full-time student. I try to get your work done as soon as possible, but I can’t afford to sacrifice a paper or a test. In some cases, I’ve had to put people off until I was finished with the term. This is why I don’t take money until I’ve shown you the end product: I don’t want you to feel robbed if a delay like that comes up.

If you have something time-sensitive, let me know. I’ll move you to the front of the queue.

6. How will I know when you’re open?

I’ll make a Tumblr post announcing it. In big, bold letters. Trust me, you won’t miss it.
