First, don't be afraid to communicate with me casually! Though, please respect that I am not very chatty and may avoid off-topic conversation.

Please provide a visual reference of some kind. Visual inspiration/moodboards for custom characters is especially appreciated!
Artistic freedom is welcome, but note that I work much better with some direction.

A sketch will be sent for approval. I appreciate feedback whenever I send WIPs so that any issues can be fixed as they appear!

You get 1 free redo of a sketch draft. Extra sketches requested are +$40 each
(I may do extra thumbnails/sketches at my own discretion. These & pixel art sketches do not add to the cost)

I strongly encourage you ask for any major changes you'd like while we're in the sketch phase!
(The entire pose/composition, clothes...anything that has to be redrawn entirely)

I will generally do minor changes or anything I personally forgot for free. (Color or marking adjustments, small tweaks in expression or gesture, background color/design, or anything that can be easily fixed with mesh transformation)

Extra fees may apply depending on the frequency, as well as time and effort required for requested changes as the commission progresses.

Parts of the character may be cropped out for composition purposes. Please express any preferences regarding this if applicable.

If the provided references become outdated at any point during the commission, please send me updated versions as soon as possible!

I will usually not accept further changes after the piece has been deemed complete by myself and the client unless I made a personal error.
(The commission is considered completed once you have expressed your satisfaction with the final result)

Files are usually sent via email or a file hosting link such as dropbox. You are responsible for your own copies of the finished commission. Should you lose your copy, you are welcome to ask me for it, but please do not make it a habit.

All commissions will be uploaded to my online galleries, unless we agree to a private commission, in which case, your commission will remain unseen.

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

It is assumed that I can upload commissioned art publicly, these are usually watermarked JPEG files. However, I may also upload the full res version to my patreon or discord. If you'd prefer the full res artwork remain exclusive to you, just let me know and I'll honor it

If you would like your commission to be private for a temporary period (such as birthday gifts), please let me know!
For a commission to be private indefinitely, I may request a fee.

If you desire certain/all rights to a commissioned piece, please contact me to discuss a royalty or one-time commercial fee. I'm quite modest about this, so I'm sure we'll work something out!

I will not resell commissioned works for profit without written consent. Exceptions to this are cancelled character design commissions and repurposing unused WIP sketches / cancelled commissions so long as I replace the subject material, this is typically the character(s).

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

You have all personal rights to your purchased adopt, do what you'd like. I really just appreciate being credited for the design and art.
Design edits / alternate palettes are fine (I always suggest keeping a copy of the original). Just don't do things like using my art as a base and selling new / old designs off of it.

You may gift, resell, trade, co-own, etc however you'd like otherwise.

(Commercial Usage) Please do not host "open/closed species" with my creature designs with intent to profit. I don't really like it. If this is something you really want to do then I ask that you contact me to discuss a royalty.

(Commercial Usage) You may use the character design for your own merch. Though for anything involving my artwork I may ask for a fee or royalty.

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

I occasionally sell old / scrapped character concepts I don't plan to use when they're conceptually different enough from what I actually want, such cases are noted directly on the sales post. You may under no circumstances ask that I make changes to my own characters. This is simply something I'd like you to be aware of

Payments via Paypal/Ko-fi only. Watch out for scammers, please double check any DMs you get from someone with my name. I typically ask people to contact me first for sales and auctions. I also rarely use emojis or text very "expressively"

OTA designs may be closed for offers at my own discretion.

I will not hold a design for you any longer than a month

Payment plans are only available if the total is $300 or more. Please note that I will require a nonrefundable deposit.

I will prioritize upfront payments over payment plans or holds, though I will not cancel payment plans in progress.

I will not accept refunds or exchanges for adoptables.

Paint Tool SAI2 and sometimes Firealpaca SE

Tablet: Wacom CTH690AK (2014?-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 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 this kind of stuff on Toyhou.se and my Discord first. Assume I'm closed otherwise. (Private inquiries are welcome, but I cannot guarantee a Yes)

No, sorry. I don't want to juggle between socials with how infrequent I open. I currently use a Toyhouse pinglist and have a discord with ping roles for commissions / adopt though. You can find a link to these in my commission information if you're interested.

Sometimes! I really enjoy these, but they can be a very time consuming process depending on what you want and the size of / amount of drawings on the ref sheet. Please see my reference commissions and estimate a 10-25% increase in the total price.

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 everything and it's public.

I don't usually mind, but I deeply appreciate if you credit me in your post somewhere

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 as long as it isn't malicious.

Fanart and wallpapers being used on profiles is allowed and I don't expect credit for them every single time.

Regarding personal art, I can't control other people on the internet, but know that I do not like it. I deeply appreciate those who look out for me, but please do not harass anyone over it. I am too tired to care at this point, and am generally unbothered by it unless someone is deliberately using my work in bad faith. This includes things like claiming / "skinning" my OC works, monetizing, or commissioning art of my OC without permission.
