For commercial use (Streaming, Merchandise, Promotional Materials) please let me know and we can negotiate the fee.Colored / abstract / simple background could be provided at no additional charge.Illustrations (art without specific crop / crop based on composition) start at $130 and are on a pay-what-you-want basis. The more offered, the more refined it will be. Please be detailed with your character descriptions / specifications when asking for this option. Price will be decided upon after approval of thumbnail.Skeb style (no communication or revision past initial request) is availble at a $70 minimum, with more time/effort put in the more you offer.

FAQ
Do you make Live2D models?
I would, but don't have many samples yet. It will probably be around the ballpark of $200 for a bust and $500 for a fullbody.Why do you not offer your semi-realism painted style?
It's a high-effort and time consuming style for me, and would probably be upcharged to hell. Especially coupled with the fact I would have to do assignments on top, it would take ages to finish something and I would probably hate the process. It's for the better of both me and you the client that I don't offer it.Can you replicate a certain franchise's style?
Passably, yes. It depends on the franchise, but rendering styles I can somewhat emulate are; Persona 5, Guilty Gear: STRIVE, and some Arknights artists (Kuroblood and NoriZC specifically)How long do you spend on a commission?
It depends on how much workload I have (both comms-only and outside of comms). Sketches would take a few days to get back to you, full rendered pieces would take around a month. However please understand during schoolwork-heavy times I would temporarily suspend working on commissions (except for flat sketches).Can I use my commission as a profile picture/header on social media?
Of course! But do remember to credit me in a easily visible spot (in bio, for example).Will you take long-time work? (Comic, Game development, Brand image development)
I haven't considered it yet, but I would agree to take on projects albeit at drastically different rates from what's offered here. Please contact me for details and negotiations.Do you take traditional (paper) commissions?
At conventions, yes. You can catch me at Anime North (Toronto, Canada), I try to make it every year.
