^{- I may not immediately respond to take new commission orders if I am currently working through a long queue. You can find my commission status under my commission information.
- I will require a CLEAR, visual, full body, colored reference. If a design requires very specific details you need to specify every SPECIFIC DETAIL, such as expressions or poses, moles, freckles, etc if they are not clear on the reference sheet.
- Minor edits to the final product are available if I accidentally make an error on what was specified during ordering. Major edits that requires redrawing large portions of the art and requesting addition of any details that were not clarified before commissioning or during the WIP approval stage will require extra payment.
- I am ok with NSFW requests and references.
- Turnaround time ranges between 1 week to 2 months. I will keep you updated if anything occurs along the way that may hinder my progress, however I still ask that you be patient along the way.
- Depending on the work, I may be able to offer WIPs. For examples, I do not offer WIPS for sketches. However, for Coloured Sketches and Rendered works I do offer sketch WIPs for approval before moving on to lineart and colouring.
- You will only receive a digital file on completion. You will not receive a physical copy. Digital files are sent either via Deviantart Stash links, Discord personal DM uploads or personal email attachments as requested by the commissioner.
- Please be sure to save all files upon delivery. I clean out my folders from time to time and may not be able to provide a copy at a future date. It is not my responsibility to hold onto a client's files if they fail to save it within a timely manner.
- Disclaimer: I may do personal art between commissions to help prevent myself from getting burned out. If you would get uncomfortable by this, then please refrain from commissioning me.}ADOPTABLE DESIGN RIGHTS AND PERMISSIONS:

- Personal usage is allowed. The owner of the design is allowed to use, post, and alter their design as they please for personal use. This includes but not limited to:
+ Editing the design*, changing species, gender, biography and/or story. You can make "alternate forms" as long as if traded, all versions of the design are traded together.
*For editing designs, I do request that you refrain from making more controversial or sensitive edits.

Feel free to contact me to ask questions if you have any!}CONFLICTS AND BLACKLISTING:
^{- If you have concerns about my artwork you may privately inform me politely. It is NEVER my intention to ever blatantly copy someone else's existing character, works, etc, but the nature of art does lead to certain crossovers. I will examine the situation if needed, and take appropriate measures if the designs or works are deemed too similar. There is NO NEED FOR CONFLICT over similarities. If harassment or attacks start, I will block and blacklist.
- Any designs I've made that a blacklisted user owns before blacklisting will NOT be revoked. However, they are NOT allowed to receive any other existing design made by me. Once the character is no longer under their ownership; the character CANNOT return to their ownership.
- The design follows all general trade rules. However, commercial usage is forbidden.
- Harassment, guilt tripping, block evading, hate speech and explicit content are automatic ways to be blacklisted.
- If you are blocked by me, but not on my blacklist, I would still prefer if you didn't interact with my content. Thank you!}
