Workflow summary
TLDR: I provide an agreed sketch → Full payment (via ko-fi or vgen) → Updates and opportunities for changes → Delivery
Your provide initial request and references. I will ask for more references if needed. Be prepared to have everything in ONE link.
Based on references I will provide thumbnail sketches, you can provide feedback / changes
We settle and agree on the desired thumbnail
I provide quote with final prices + Invoice
If not ordering through VGen: I only accept payment via a single Kofi donation before I start drawing.
I usually send over WIPs at: finished sketch, flat colors, process during rendering - for feedback opportunities. You are free to request small adjustments eg. color/missed details at any stage, though major changes past the finished sketch phase will result in additional costs.
I will respond to your messages promptly and let you know if the process is delayed. Transparency is valued. I will communicate with you in a respectful manner, and expect the same from clients.
Do's and Don't's
I DO draw: Artistic gore. Blood & injuries. Internal organs. Horror. NSFW (including explicit sexual content, though I have no samples). Chibis.
I DO NOT DRAW: Furries (Just animal ears/features are OK). Mecha, vehicles, machinery. Real people. Hyper-realism. Pixel art. Kinks. Illegal content. Discriminatory, hateful, derogatory content. Bases (to draw on top of). Independent assets, objects, icons or logos. Political content. Extreme or disturbing gore. Anything out of my comfort zone. DM me if you are unsure.
Note: With the exception of the don't's, I am open to, within reason, drawing new things I have never tried before and/or have little experience in. However, expect delays and additional costs. Results are not guaranteed.
Disclaimers
I do not draw with super clean lineart or highly rendered details and will not accept requests to do so.
I may change the price of services. It is the client's responsibility to obtain the most updated pricing list.

Please treat me with the same manner of respect you would like to receive yourself. Constructive criticism is welcome. Harsh, disrespectful or hateful comments are not tolerated and can result in the commission being terminated with NO refunds.
An estimated delivery time will be given to you prior to payment. I will extend my best efforts to keep the timing reasonable. I do NOT do deadlines as I am not a full time artist. You will be notified of any potential delays.
FAQ
Do you sell prints? Not yet, but I am planning to open a shop in the future. I'll keep my social media profiles updated.
Can I use your art as profile picture/wallpaper etc.? Yes, you don't need to ask me for permission. However, if the usage is public, say using as your profile picture, please link back somewhere to my social media profile or this website (chroulvus.carrd.co).

Terms & Conditions of Service
No refunds unless I am unable to finish the commission due to personal circumstances
Commissions are done for your personal use only. They cannot be used for profit in any kind or form.
You must negotiate with me if you want commercial rights to a commission (eg. YouTube, business, game usage), which will incur in extra charges depending on its scope. I have the right to reject any commercial usages I see unfit or those that do not satisfy my terms and requirements.
You are NOT allowed to modify the commissions in any way besides basic edits such as cropping and light filtering for personal usage such as wallpaper/avatar.
No AI in any shape or form
If sharing commissioned work online, please post the versions with my watermark on it AND link back to my website or social media page whereever possible.
Queues usually apply on a first come first serve basis. However, if your commission is very big or complex, I may move you to the end of the queue so I can work on it even after my commissions close as to not hold up the queue.
I will not profit further from your commission piece in any way (eg. I will not print or sell your commission). However, I reserve the right to post any commissions on my social media to add to my portfolio (except private commissions).

About me
I'm some guy in my 20s from New Zealand / Australia procrastinating. I am a self-taught drawing hobbyist and am passionate about creating character illustrations.Do you play FFXIV? Find me on Ravana, Materia as "Panacea Dashu"!
Art related information
I draw on the iPad using Procreate. Some process videos are posted on my twitter.
Brushes I regularly use: Procreate default flat brush, Flaptraps drawing brush
Process: I draw on one layer, utilizing liquify and color adjust. I regularly draw via grayscale to color using gradient maps.
I started drawing more regularly in 2016 and learn mostly from YouTube videos.
What to provide for your commission
If in doubt about anything, don't be afraid to DM me and I will answer all your questions.For those new to art commissions, unfamiliar with the process or simply can't be bothered to come up with a list, here are the things you should provide me with before or after contacting me on Twitter as I need them to estimate a quote.If you refuse to organize the references in a cogent manner, I will charge an extra $20 service fee, to account for the extra time I need to spend organizing them myself.You can compile these into a single email, Google Doc, Imgur, Pinterest board etc. as it'll be more accessible to me than giving me loose pictures or multiple links. (I personally prefer Google Doc or Imgur).Notes, descriptions and annotations along with reference pictures are also required:
The following list is for reference only, only use subjects that are applicable to your piece. If I require more information I will let you know.
Category of: sketch / greyscale painting / colored painting / tarot card / icon or profile picture / others
Full body / half body / portrait etc.
Character appearance (reference art, face claim etc.)
Clothing reference
Character facial expression & gaze
Pose (reference photo if possible)
Background description or reference, if any
Specific lighting, if any
Desired color palettes, if any
Reference for props or other compositional elements, if any
Aside to finding references, provide a simple composition. A sketch with detailed annotation is great even if you cannot draw. Here is an absolutely scuffed example I made in microsoft paint but that's really all I need to work with.
If you wish for me to dictate composition or others I'll happily do so for an additional fee. I will provide work in progress sketches to make sure what I am drawing is exactly what you want.
Tarot card notes.
If you are ordering a tarot card and wish for me to come up with a composition, these are some prompts you can provide me (beside the general list mentioned above). They are NOT all required, nor is the list exhaustive.I will provide multiple concepts (at least 3) for you to choose from for a tarot card. I will only come up with a quote after a selection is made, as the complexity of designs will vary. If you need more assistance, we can discuss over composition more over DM.
I can come up with posture independently, but let me know if there's specific postures or whether you want to restrict the tarot to eg. half body only due to being on a budget.
