🐾 Frequently Asked Questions 🐾
Q: How long does it take you to complete a commission?
My turnaround varies a lot depending on the type of commission and my own disposition, but in general terms it would be: around 1 week for icons, 1-3 weeks for colored sketches and flat-colored art, and usually 1 month or more for fully colored illustrations. You can always check the progress of your commission on my Trello though!
Q: I don't have any references of my OC because I can't draw, but I can write a quick description!
I am sorry, but I won't accept any order if you don't have a reference sheet (aka a visual guide, an image) of your character's design. It doesn't need to be a super detailed image, you can grab a blank template, base or free-to-use (F2U) lineart and add color on MS Paint, Krita or FireAlpaca and sent it. It's better than a wall of text!
Q: What if I want something that isn't on your pricelist?
In that case, feel free to send me an email or reach me through DeviantART's notes or Twitter's DMs to tell me your idea so I can calculate a personalized quote for you.
Q: Help! I want to commission you but I can't decide on what I want!
Please, before you decide to contact me, try to have a clear idea of what do you want.
I am more than happy to answer any question you may have and to give any advice about your commission if you need it, but I can't choose what kind of commission you'd like for you :(
And please, refrain from contacting me only to say "I want to commission you but I don't know what to order!" that's your decision and yours only, I can't really help and exchanging mails like this only clusters my inbox >.<

Q: What do you prefer drawing?
Personally I love drawing big cats and canines. I'm also fond of birds and hooved animals (especially deers).
Reptiles, specially dragons, are a bit more complex for me, but I'm willing to try. However insects are a big no-no.

Q: Do you draw CanonxCanon or CanonxOC ships?
For the moment I only accept commissions featuring "OCxOC" or "CanonxCanon" ships unless for very specific commissions (like some YCH's).
Q: I noticed that you changed a bit my OC's colors, why would you do that?
Usually I try to respect my client's designated color palette for their OCs, however if certain color choices are giving me trouble when it comes to shading/lighting etc I might tweak them a bit. For example a character's whose main color is pitch black (#000000) is very hard to shade, so I might color them as a very dark grey instead. Remember that light also alters colors, so if for example you want a picture at nighttime, your character's colors may not look as bright or saturated as usual!
Q: Can you draw imitating X's artstyle please?
I'm sorry, but no. If you want your commission to be done in a certain person's artsyle, I'd recommend that you commission them instead! However, I have no problem if you want your commission drawn in Disney's, RIO's or Spirit's styles, for example.
Q: Can I ask for a few changes now that the commission is finished?
It depends.
Small changes that could be my fault (forgetting your character's scar, getting the eye color wrong) are totally fine!
Major changes that imply redrawing the character and/or background will have an extra cost of 20-30€ depending on what it is. Moreover, any requests to redraw the character because you updated/changed their design while I was doing the commission will be declined. That's why I ask you to send an up to date reference sheet in the first place!

Q: Do you take requests or art trades?
For requests; no, never.
As for art trades, generally I'll only do art trades with mutuals or with people I reach out first. Check my rules about Art Trades HERE (Yes, I had to write down some rules after a few bad experiences).

Q: Can I use your art for NFTs or commission you for NFT art?
Absolutely not. I don't support NFTs and I do not wish to be associated with them in any way, shape or form.
