First: I am not a highly communicative artist. Please do not order from me expecting daily or weekly updates on your commission.
I will contact you when I actually have something to show you.
I understand all anxieties that come with this, but I am not online enough for this and I simply don't work that way. I will generally try to avoid off-topic chat until I am finished with your artwork unless I'm currently in a situation where I am out of my office and unable to work.

Please fill the google / ko-fi form with all information requested.
Google form commissions are not first come first serve, I will contact you if I accept it.

I need some kind of visual reference for what you'd like me to draw. I reserve the right to interpret your character in my own style (ie. shapes and color adjustments to suit any backgrounds. I will not attempt to make your character unrecognizable).

Please have some sort of idea of what you want for your commission. Moods or themes generally help me a lot, and I don't appreciate

I usually send 2 WIP. 1 rough sketch for your approval, then a preview of the final. You are welcome to ask me for more WIPs if you want.

I strongly encourage you ask for any major changes you'd like once I've sent the first sketch. These usually come at no extra cost.
EXAMPLE: Pose, expressions, faces or limbs/clothes that need to be redrawn entirely.

You get 1 free redo of the first sketch, extra concepts requested are +$40 each
(I may do multiple sketch concepts at my own discretion. These & pixel art do not count!)

After the sketch is approved, I will only accept changes based on things that I have forgotten or missed, such as markings or accessories. This comes at no extra fee as long as the information was included in the original reference sheet or description in the commission form.

Excessive requests for revisions may result in extra charges at my own discretion, depending on the amount of work required.
I will not accept further changes after the piece has been deemed complete by myself and the client unless I made a personal error.

Parts of the character may be cropped out for dynamic compositions. I will try my best for you, but if your mindset is getting "your money's worth", I highly suggest we don't work together.

Files are usually sent via email or a file hosting link such as dropbox, google drive, etc.
I may leave my files uploaded for months, years even. However, you are responsible for your own copies of the finished commission. Should you lose your copy down the line, you are welcome to ask me for it, but please do not make it a habit. I may not always have the copy.

NOTE: SAI2/PSD files are only available for sketch, reference or custom character commissions.

While not mandatory, I really do appreciate being credited. I go by Waverlied/Waver just about everywhere.

I will freely assume that I can upload the art publicly or to my Patreon. I usually post lower quality, watermarked versions of commissions. However, I may also upload the full res version to my patreon/discord. If this makes you uncomfortable, reach out to me! I will make sure that the full res artwork is exclusive to you.

If you would like your commission to be private for a temporary period (such as birthday gifts), let me know and I will honor it.

For a commission to be private indefinitely, I may request a fee.

If you wish to purchase all or certain rights to the piece, please contact me for pricing.

I will not resell commissioned works for profit without written consent. The only exception is repurposing unused WIP sketches and abandoned or cancelled commissions so long as I replace the character.

Lastly, please do not try "remind" me to post your commission to my social media, I don't appreciate it and usually find it in bad taste.
Please respect that I personally prefer not to upload every single drawing I make.

By purchasing a character design from me you agree to my terms of service as well as acknowledge them.

Use adopts you get from me however you want, I really just appreciate being credited for the design/art.

I suggest keeping a spare copy of the original when making design edits to your adopt. I don't care how much you edit them.

You may move my watermarks if needed for things like icon or PNG, but please don't remove it from the original

Please do not host "open/closed species" with my creature designs. I don't really like it. If this is something you really want to do then I ask that you contact me to discuss commercial usage.

If you want to make an OC of a creature I've made, go ahead, I just appreciate being credited

Payments via Paypal/Ko-fi only. To avoid scams, please double check any DMs you get from me, as I typically ask people to contact me first for sales and auctions.

I will not accept refunds or exchanges.

Auction-style OTA typically last 24-48 hours, or 12-24 hours after the last bid. I can close for offers at my own discretion (I'm not required to notify every single bidder when they've been outbid via DM. Please do not get upset with me for this as it overwhelms me).

Payment plans are only available if the total is $300 or more.

Do whatever you want.

Paint Tool SAI2 and Firealpaca SE

Tablet: Wacom CTH690AK (2015?-2019) One by Wacom (2019-2024). Intuos Pro Medium (2025)

I honestly do not pay attention. I have several I actively switch between. You can find all my SAI assets for free here
My favorite Firealpaca brush is "Ruling pen"

Yes..no..maybe, maybe not. I'm happy to share my tools; though style questions will overwhelm me quickly. I don't want to be rude! But I honestly just don't know how to answer.

If you see my form or ko-fi slots available, then I am open! I usually announce them on Toyhou.se and my Discord first. Assume I'm closed otherwise.

No... I don't want to juggle between socials with how infrequent I open. I do have a discord with ping roles for commissions / adopt though. You can find a link to it in my commission information if actually really interested!

Absolutely! Just know that I prefer to approach clients when I actually have something to show for it, If there is something I hate most, it's feeling like I'm giving excuses, I hope you understand. If anything, reach out anyway. I use Trello to keep track of paid work.

My answer is most likely Yes. You have all personal rights to any adopt you get by me. You can see my Adopt TOS for any other clarifications you might need! What you do generally is none of my business. (TH Equivalent here)

Depends, I am very friendly, but I don't really have the energy for constant conversation. I am quite relaxed and generally prefer to keep to myself. I do not believe in friendship decay, so if you're the type of person to make it a thing when I don't reply for days or weeks, then we most likely won't get along.

Fanart and wallpapers being used is fine.

Regarding personal art, I can't control what other people on the internet do, but know that I do not like it. I deeply appreciate people who look out for me, but do not harass anyone over it. I am too tired to care at this point and am trying to be unbothered by it unless someone is deliberately using my stuff for personal gain, things like claiming full credit, commissioning art of them, or trying to monetize my art/characters.
