I L L U S T R A T I O N • STYLE

What does Illustration Style mean?
Focuses on Line-Fidelity, shading has stronger edges, close to 'Cel Shading' / 'Storybook'. This is meant to be a happy medium between Sketchy work and Rendered both time- and cost-wise.

À LA CARTE

BACKGROUND OPTIONS

SUBJECT/CHARACTER TYPES

All commission types are available for non-humanoid characters and subjects (providing said subjects are not outside the scope of the Terms of Service). Depending on the complexity of character/project content, there will likely be a ‘critter discount’ applied (and explained) to the quote of your project.For instance, a Chibi type of commission may be $15 for an MLP character with a relatively simple design (would not include clothing).As stated at the top of this page, you will receive a quote before any invoicing/work begins, so there’s no harm in submitting a slot request if you’d like to see if your critter character is eligible.

Clothing and Accessories:

In each tier’s base price range, a simple non-patterend outfit is included. Simple outfits include things like pants/jeans/slacks/skirt, tunic/sweater/hoodie/blouse/vest, and some minor accessories like earrings/rings/necklace/crown.If your project includes extra clothing, accessories, formal wear, or the items are patterned (plaid, polka dots, stripes) 10-20% of the full project cost will be added on for each subject/character wearing more detailed clothing.

Armor, Weaponry, and Props:

These elements are not included in the base price for each tier and will be priced individually based on complexity.At this time, any armor more complex than ‘enhanced leather armor’ is not available. It is possible to simplify some pieces of armor to look more sturdy than formal wear in order to give the character that ‘adventurer’ look. If you’re aiming for this type of outfit, we can absolutely discuss it during the quote-building process!

Additional Characters:

If more than 60% of the additional character(s) is(are) visible, that character will be priced as an individual subject. [Example: Sketch, Half-Body, 2 characters; if character #2 is over %60 visible, the total for both characters will be $70]If less than 60% is visible, there may be a discount (and/or lower tier base cost) for the additional character. [Example: Sketch, Full-Body, 2 characters; character #2 is only visible from the shoulders up, would be priced as a portrait/bust instead. Therefore, character #1 = $45, character #2 = $20; subject total: $65]

LIMITED AVAILABILITY

What does Renderd/Painted mean?
More linelessness, smooth 3D shading, high detail. May have some overlap with Illustration Style depending on details.

All commissions must be paid in full before work begins.*

For most projects, payment can be made and process through Ko-Fi using the custom widget I will create for you. Through Ko-Fi, you can use your PayPal or Stripe to complete the transaction.For larger projects, I may opt to create an invoice through Paypal. After an invoice is sent, payment is generally expected within five days unless other arrangements are made (If you're waiting for pay day, that's totally okay! Just let me know.). If the payment period lapses, the commission will be considered cancelled. If you wish to pick back up with the project, feel free to contact me again!You will receive an invoice or notification about your custom widget from me at the email address you have supplied on the TOS Agreement form.*Commissions with an end cost higher than $100 may be paid in installments. This is up to artist discretion and may not be available for all projects.

Revision Policy

Revisions are done on a case-by-case basis for smaller items such as con-badges, icons, small bust portraits, and sketches themselves. Acceptable reasons for revisions on small items might include color/marking correction or the addition of missing details (If I have forgotten something, let me know and I will revise!). This is included in price quote.The artist works very quickly. If you wish to see the linework prior to any coloring in order for your commission to be fine tuned, you must request it up front. Otherwise, the artist will assume that all details have been given in the initial discussion and will work accordingly.Additional sketch revisions to fine-tune a piece will not be charged unless deemed excessive. Revisions are intended to refine or correct a piece, not draw something entirely different. Excessive or additional large-scale revisions will be discussed with the client first; options at that point will include a $10-$25 revision fee or the option of cancelling the commission minus the value of the piece at the time of cancellation. (Please refer to the introductory section of this document, specifically the paragraph about being clear in your commission requests!)

Prohibited Subject Matter

Subjects the artist will not draw under any circumstance include the following: underage or underage-appearing characters ¹ performing or participating in acts that are not age appropriate, fetish art, blatant sexual imagery ², copyrighted characters, hateful/prejudiced subject matter ³.Violence/gore are considered on a case-by-case basis.The artist will NOT emulate the styling of another artist by request.Subjects such as cars, other vehicles, modern firearms, and other complex technology are not accepted due to the artist’s current skill level with those subjects.Mechanical-organic creatures, medieval armor, bladed weapons, middle age technologies, and similar are accepted subjects. If you are in doubt, ask.The artist reserves the right to decline drawing any subject matter at their discretion.¹ Underage characters: Any commission in which underage characters appear must also have an age-appropriate theme.
² Images which depict sexual acts will not be available for general commission.
³ As this is a difficult topic to sum up, this will fall under the case-by-case basis exercised for violence/gore subjects. Projects that appear to be intended to cause harm to real persons by any means will be an automatic no from me.

Regarding Refunds/Cancellations

Refunds are issued when a commission is cancelled. Clients may cancel at anytime.Commissions cancelled before work begins will be refunded in full (please keep PayPal fees in mind when receiving a refund). If work on a commission has already begun, the client will receive a digital copy of the amount of work completed as well as a partial refund. If a client wishes to cancel a commission once it has reached the final coloring or rendering stage, no refund will be issued.The artist reserves the right to cancel a commission and issue a refund due to unforeseen circumstances, poor communication, rude or inappropriate behavior, harassment, failure to abide by the TOS, or an inability/unwillingness to communicate in clear English.

ADDITIONAL INFO

**★ CLIENT MATERIAL REQUIREMENTS: **
Commission details and references should be provided in the order form and will not be accepted via IMs/DMs. Corrections to information submitted in the form can be made by email (nalukahvi(AT)gmail(DOT)com). This is to ensure that all relevant information to your commission remains in the same place, to reduce the risk of details being forgotten or missed entirely, and also to keep a record of requests / alterations if they occur. Clients wishing to receive work-in-progress updates via Discord are welcome include their Discord Username (Including numbers) in the first page of the order form; I will do my level best to keep in touch throughout the process of your piece, I truly enjoy sharing progress!Please do not contact me expecting a lengthy sound-boarding session about a commission idea - this takes away from work time for me and I’m not available to bounce ideas off of. A couple of quick questions are totally okay and welcome, but that should be the extent.**★ COMMUNICATION:**
The artist wishes to be warm and welcoming to clients; this does not mean however that the artist is available for casual chat. Commissions are a business transaction and should politely be treated as such. (I have large amounts of gratitude for this understanding; it makes the commission go by smoothly and quickly without interruptions).**★ PROJECT TURN-AROUND:**
Deadlines should be discussed with the artist prior to payment, otherwise it will be assumed that the usual turn-around time for a standard commission is acceptable. (I do my best to work in a timely fashion, but if the piece is due for a particular occasion I must know in advance. Also let me know if I should refrain from posting until a certain date, if the art is meant to be a gift for someone else!)
Clients can expect to receive their completed pieces within four weeks of payment received for standard commissions depending on their project's place in queue. Medium to Large projects often require extra time based on detail; if your project counts as either medium or large you will be notified prior to and again during the invoicing process.**★ COPYRIGHT ETC.:**
The artist retains full rights to the artwork itself; the client owns the original (in the case of traditional works) and the characters depicted. The client has permission to use the image for personal icons, banners, and wallpapers. They may not use it in any commercial fashion.

The client must provide clear and concise reference images and/or descriptions of any characters to be depicted as well as a concise description of their commission idea if artistic liberty is unwanted. If a client tells the artist to have free reign and be creative, the artist will do exactly that!If this section seems redundant from the introduction, it is because the artist wishes for the importance of this particular point to be quite clear.**★ PROJECT QUOTE PRICES:**
Price quotes are exactly that: quotes. Prices may go up or down depending on complexity of a character, background, pose, or idea. You are not obligated to purchase from me once you have a quote. Likewise, prices can and will undergo revisions and will be reflected in the guide. If a commission type’s price changes and you already have a slot of that type currently on my to do list, you will not be expected to pay the difference.**★ PAYMENT CLARIFICATION:**
