Due to other commitments, my availability is not always guaranteed.
Payment upon completion is fine, but for larger commissions an early deposit is ideal! (10% up front?).
Regardless of the work, please supply clear reference - for what you're after.
Purchased Artwork/Music is for personal use UNLESS commercial use is discussed upfront.
Commissions are not first-come first-serve; please discuss deadlines if necessary, as I'm not speedy!
Prices are set at a starting fee and can extend higher, subject on the work.
I won't create pornography or fetish content, but nudity is fine!
If you have any questions - just ask!
