SUBMISSION PROCESS
The following only applies if my commission status is "Open" or if my "Active" slots are not full, if you still wish to wait for a commission you can obtain a "Reserve" slot, please see the FAQ for more information
1. Submit the form at the bottom of this journal and await for a reply.
2. Once your commission is reviewed, final price may be discussed (only applies to CG commissions)
3. For Sketch commissions clients are required to pay up front, on the other hand, CG commission clients have the option of paying before or after their image is completed.
4. Your commission will go on the "Slot List", which is essentially a line-up.
5. (CG applicable only) A preliminary sketch of your commission will be sent to you once you're at the top of the slot list (Steps 4-5 are omitted if you get a "Sketch" commission).
6. (CG applicable only) I will need you to confirm the preliminary sketch before moving on to the final product of your commission. If the client fails to reply I will be forced to move on to others.
7. Client will receive a thumbnail-version of their final illustration, this is their last chance to have anything changed.
8. If everything goes according to plan, the final, full-size file of the illustration will be sent via Email once I've confirmed payment.

FAQ
- What form of payment do you accept?
PAYPAL, PAYPAL and more PAYPAL. That's it, sorry.
- How big are these illustrations and what file type are they?
File type is JPEG, and size varies greatly. I guess my standard would be 1700 x 2200 pixels (8.5'x11'' at 200 dpi, I also tend to work at 11'x17'' and 13'x19'' ), there's never a set size though. If there's a particular format you prefer let me know.
- How long does it take you to do a commission?
For the most part, it really, really depends on my current schedule so I highly suggest asking per commission if you're strained on time. I would like to mention that I work rather quickly so you won't be expecting a long wait if you're at the top of the slot-list.
- What sort of things can you illustrate?
Basically... anything? Haha, just ask!
- Sex? Nudity?
No on the sex, yes on the nudity. I'm okay with flaunting of the human body but I'm really not up for drawing any kind of porn. Sorry.
- How may I use my commissioned work or vice versa?
For the most part, I'm okay with the client doing whatever they want with their commissioned illustration as long as I am given credit. Also, I won't reproduce/sell prints of said work if the client chooses for me not to.
- How do "Reserve Slots" work?
If my Active slot list is full or my commission status is "Closed" and you still want to wait in line for a commission for when I'm available then you can obtain a place in the "Reserve slot"
If I note you on the Reserve list when it's your turn and the client fails to reply in a timely manner, he/she may lose their place in line and will not have the right to redeem priority.
