Terms of Service

As an artist, there are a myriad of things I will and will not do. A summary of those things can be found here, under my Terms of Service. However, just because something is not on this list does not mean I have to do it. I reserve the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason.

  • First and foremost, I will not create for anyone who is hateful, nor will I create hateful art. As a gay and trans artist, I have no desire to work for anyone who is or create art that is homophobic, transphobic, racist, etc...

  • All displays of my art must feature either my Twitter or Bluesky @ for crediting purposes. It must be easily accessible and legible.

  • When you purchase my art, it belongs to you. Reselling the original to others or fashioning it into personal clothing is fine. However, you may not resell multiple copies. If you wish to create merchandise with my art, you will have to purchase merchandising rights.

  • My art is to never be used as AI training data.

  • You are entitled to a full refund for any reason before a sketch is complete. That is also after any edits to the sketch to ensure it fits your wishes. Any time after that, you will only be entitled to a 50% refund.

  • If I, for any reason, at any time, cannot complete the work, you will receive a full refund.

  • If you are refunded on your own request, you will not receive any work in progress files, such as Blender, Clip Studio Paint, or Unity files.

  • Payment is expected before any work is to be done.

  • I will not raise my prices for anyone waiting on work. This is to protect those on my waiting list. If we agree to a project, and I change my prices while you are waiting or during working on yours, the price will not be changed for you at that time. Only future clients.

  • Editing the art I've made for you, such as drawing over a piece I have made, changing a character I've designed, or changing a model I've made is fine. However, editing my art to make it hateful is not permissible. This includes making the art hateful in a 'non-hateful' way, such as writing, "Jesus doesn't want you to be gay" on my art. While I will not prosecute any individuals who do this legally, those people will forfeit any ability to commission me in the future.

  • If my art is used in any way by a company, and I have not consented to it, I will take legal action.

  • Lastly, any form of copying my art, such as tracing, without credit, will not be permitted. I will request it be taken down anywhere it is posted.

  • Before any payment, it is expected for all buyers to have read these terms. Sending me any form of payment will be considered consent to these terms.

Do not forget to read the ToS! Any payment will be your statement that you have read, understand, and agreed to the terms of service, so it is important for you to have read them before going further.

3D Models

Images are a work in progressCurrently, I am creating 3D models for anyone who'd like to buy one! These models will be created in Blender, and will include keyshapes for lip-syncing and a variety of expressions.
For a short time, the base price will be $150
Due to my inexperience with this medium, prices will be very low. I will raise them as soon as I begin to get more orders, so order now while they're cheap!

Additions

While the base price for models will be $150, I may add a complexity fee for characters with many small details. Characters with complex patterns will have a fee of $25, and those with complex bodies, like having extra body parts, will have a fee of $50.Any piece of clothing will start at an additional $25. More complex clothing, like techwear, will come in at $50.Work in Unity, like giving the character jiggle physics in their hair and tail, are included in the base $150. When you receive the character, they will be able to be used in VrChat.If you'd like me to design a character to model for you, that will be an additional $100. In that, you'd receive an additional ref-sheet, it including a front, side, and back view- as well as front and side views of extremities like the arms and tail.

Getting a Commission

Message me on Twitter or Bluesky, or shoot me an email including what you'd like modeled, and I'll give you a quote on a price!After discussing what you want and agreeing on a price, you'll send payment, and I'll get to work.If you have a Discord account, friend me! I'll be happy to stream my process to you if you see I'm online and working.Regarding work, I'll first sketch a very rough ref sheet, if yours does not already include what I'll need. This sketch will include a front and side view, so it can be used in blender. I will also like create a front and side view of the tail and arms. If you agree the sketch is satisfactory, I'll move on to Blender.In Blender, I'll create your model, as well as create keyshapes. These keyshapes will allow your model to lip-sync and change expression. After I finish in Blender, I'll export your model to Unity. There, I will use Poiyomi shaders and Dynamic bones to give your character an animated look.Once your model is done, I'll export it to VrChat and it'll be ready for you to use! I will also give you a copy of the Clip Studio Paint (the sketched ref), Blender, and Unity files in case you'd like to make any edits or have someone else make an addition in the future.

Payment

Payment will be expected before work begins.
I accept payment through either Paypal or Venmo.
See the Terms of Service for information on refunds.

Examples are a work in progress, as I have just begun creating models. Be one of the first!Click on an image to see the character's owner (If they agreed to allow that).
