Terms of Service
Before requesting a commission, please take a moment to read through the terms of service to better understand the nature of how I work and to avoid any unnecessary issues that may arise in the process.
-Commissions are accepted at the discretion of the artist.
For whatever reason I decide to decline a commission, I humbly ask that you respect my decision. While I am willing to work with most subjects, know that there are certain areas where I feel my skill may be lacking, and may be declined as a result. As a rule of thumb, any requests for content that cannot be publicly showcased (i.e. is marked for mature audiences) tend to be priced higher for the client’s exclusive use of the image.

-Revisions in works should be done at the earliest possible convenience.
The further along a commission’s progress is, the more difficult it is to edit the work, which may incur additional charges as a result. This, however, does not result if the edit is at the decision of the artist.

Special commissions may be offered from time to time that are usually less expensive than regular commissions, so it helps to take advantage of them when they are open.
Prices are listed in US Dollars (USD). Please note that these prices are estimates, based on the average time and effort required to complete and may be adjusted according to simplicity/complexity of request.
