By the second week of November, I would be opening commissions
My objectives for the meantime are a bit modest. We are going to Japan next year (Marh 23 or 22, or so) because my big brother is graduating and I volunteered to take a sideline here in dA, since I am not really that productive. I am to take commissions so I would save up for mom's laptop (a contribution only) or just to go on with some expenses (like food or shelter) while there. After that, I maybe will open for commissions as well, depends on the timeline. I need to save up so bad.

How do I request a Commission?
You can note me here in dA since I am taking not quite important and not quite numerous notes. You can also comment on my page. When sending a request to commission me through comment I will reply via note and will ask you the details of it.

What bunch of things will you draw?
I draw canines, anthros, dragons (though still I am practicing with humans). You should also specify what style I should use, the styles will be specified at somewhere in this FAQ's.

If it would be fan art from a fellow deviant, and is his/her original character, I would ask him/her permission to draw. If he/she declines, then I would not draw it anymore.

I also can draw simple ref-sheets (but not as complicated as =Shinerai). I think I shall keep it short and simple, just to show details and such.

What can I NOT ask for commission?
There should strictly be no erotic scenes (I was caught drawing one and I got a smirk), Yaoi, Yuri, overly large mammary glands, morbidness, and don't ask me to be a pedobear for you. Some things that promote illegitimate things, promote lawbreaking, violence, does not harass, not profane or vulgar, not threatening; must not violate any written law, decree, statute, ordinance, or regulation; must not advertise (I do not draw to advertise); ethnically correct be culturally correct in any territory and does not hit religion. Alright? Just as the deviantART gallery submission policies say . . . Also, realistic human faces, or even manga ones. Oh, don't please.

Can I keep track of my commission?
Of course you can and you may. Note me, I won't be mad. It's annoying getting four notes saying the same thing all the same time. But if I don't reply, please be patient. It means that I may be busy with school or a commission, or some other relevant stuff. Your commission is my priority with regards to art I do.

What are the instruments you use?
Traditional:
Faber-Castell Classic Colour Pencils
Faber-Castell Watercolour Pencils
Faber-Castell Polychromos Colored Pencils
Colleen Colored Pencils

Digital:
Adobe Photoshop CS3
Paint Tool SAI

My Line Art
Since I am having difficulty with technical pens and/or drawing pens, I use a ball point pen as line art. Coloring with Photoshop with a Pen line art is nice since I actually get to clean it first. Traditional is as good as Digital as well but a lot more time consuming.

I saw your Pokémon Drawings, can you use that style?
Yes, but with this different policies
I draw one Pokémon ONCE
If I drew one already, I suggest you look at it first. If you dislike it, i would draw another but it would be the cost of 1 Pokemon-drawn-in-that-style-commission.
I accept fakemon as well. But I also draw one fakemon ONCE
When I see you are a member of *pokedorks, I also would like to charge you 1 EXP so I can submit it. Only 1 EXP.
If you have a Pokemon character and is slightly different (say, the Pokemon you want is shiny, or with tattoos, or with some accessories), I would count it as a special case whereas I still draw it.

**Character design sketches are a bit hard to do. But if you ask for a character design sketch, I do one and you dislike it, I'd be willing to change it to this condition: the one I designed and you disliked will be my intellectual property and is under the Copyright law. So if I draw 789 character design sketches and dislike the first 788 designs, those are mine and yours is the 789th design

***With regards to the line art, I'll enhance it digitally. I will send you a version of it in either .psd or .jpeg format. Also, tell me if you would allow me to publish that line-art in deviantART, and if it will be open for the public or smudged with a watermark. Your decision. Just send it along.

****Character Reference Sheets: I need the following to do it, an old sketch of the character (colored, be it better), personality, er--much info similar to the example, thank you. In uniform 1024 x 768 pixels size.

What about your Pokémon drawings?
Yeah, as I said there are some policies and stated above. I tend to keep all Pokémon drawings look Pokémon-ish as possible. I would draw your favorite Pokémon. This part is quite cheap because I only do it for, like and hour or an hour-and-a-half tops. The style is also uniform: not realistic.

What is your mode of payment?
I shall apply to Paypal and make it that as my primary payment method. I am not quite sure of Cash Delivery, seems unsafe to me.

Would you draw for me before I pay?
Well, no. I think some artists don't do that, too.

Pokémon drawings, drawn in my style, Digital Art: USD 4.00.

Examples:


Do you take personal art commissions?
What I mean by "personal art commissions" is a commission requested by the commissioner with a slightly different request. Like a personal comic being drawn a cover, or a chapter picture. You should send me the description first.

Shouldn't you answer more questions?
Yeah, but due to me being sleepy, ask me in this entry as a comment. If I find it relevant enough, I will add it to the FAQ's.
