COMMISSIONS
Firstly, thank you so much for considering or at least being curious about commissioning me! It means a lot!For now, MY COMMISSIONS ARE CLOSED as I'm re-organizing everything, finishing personal and private projects and adding store items on Ko-fi, my future website and INPRNT.Here is my current (2024) general breakdown of how I price my character art commissions*:
| Headshot | Half-body | Full-body | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monochrome | $30 | $60 | $90 |
| +Color | +$20-25 | +$25-35 | +$35-55 |
| +Background | +$12-50 | +$15-60 | +$20-70 |
| +Extra Character | +$25 | +$55 | +$80 |
My Ko-fi page is where I normally handle commissions. Follow me there for alerts on when those slots open up. I may also occasionally mention open slots on my social media.
Depending on complexity, color and background additions, it can fall within those price ranges.This is subject to change depending on factors like time, style-choice and extras like multiple characters. More details on my Ko-fi and here when available.*I also can do custom requests that don't fall under character art, but it is subject to approval on my part. Depending on complexity and time, it may fall around a similar or higher price range.VISUAL EXAMPLES AT A LATER DATE! A WORK-IN-PROGRESS!
TERMS OF SERVICE
You are agreeing to all of the following terms of service should you be interested in commissioning me. Read through it thoroughly for a smooth process!
FIRSTLY, PLEASE BE AWARE:
- See my commission criteria below for what I'm willing to draw. DM me on Instagram@desansen or Twitter@desansenArt, if you're unsure or if something specific isn't listed.
- All commissions and payments will be handled through Ko-fi when slots are available. First come first serve, so keep watch there. Followers get updates on when it opens.
- Full payment is upfront AFTER securing a commission slot and design agreement. (It used to be 50%, but due to AI theft and a few other issues encountered, full upfront is a safeguard.)
COMMISSION CRITERIA:
| 😊 I WILL DRAW: | 😓 I WON'T DRAW: |
|---|---|
| Original Characters (OCs) | Full-on mecha (BG partials are fine, but not main character) |
| Manga or western-cartoon styles | Photographic illustrations (due to complexity/time) |
| Fan-Art of most known series | CG/3D work |
| Singles/Couples/Groups | Full-on NSFW (no sexual shenanigans here, silly!) |
| SFW and semi-NSFW (only partial nudes) |
YAY! TIME TO COMMISSION! NOW WHAT?:
- Secured a Ko-fi commission slot at my page: https://www.ko-fi.com/desansen? Nice!
- Please provide references as you're filling in your request. I prefer visual references but can attempt to draw from text references.
- I have the right to decline a commission for any reason, especially if it doesn't follow my above criteria.
- Once I've agreed to what you'd like drawn, I will open a custom commission payment slot for you on Ko-fi to pay in full.
DURING PRODUCTION:
- I will send you up to 2 work-in-progress sketches to make sure we're on the right track.
- You're allowed up to 2 minor revisions after seeing progress sketches. Anything more will cost extra as it takes time and effort to keep editing. Please provide good references at the start so we don't have to revise often.
- Cancelling a commission at ANY point will only be partially refunded through Paypal. (At most, you will receive 1/2 of the price - PayPal fees. If nearly completely, only 1/4th - PayPal fees will be refunded). The sketch will then be sent in its current state.
- Once a commission has been finished and sent, no refunds!
- Turn-around is about 2-4 weeks depending on the complexity of your piece. I will also contact you if it needs extra time. Life sometimes happens. D;
AFTER FINISHING YOUR COMMISSION:
- You may post your commission wherever you'd like with link and credit to @desansen.
- I will post your commission on my Ko-fi page to subscribers and one-time donators. If I want to show it publicly, I will ask your permission first.
- All commissioned pieces are for personal use only. Please don't use it to resell as merchandise (including print) or any other commercial use.
- For any commercial use, please contact me via Ko-fi, Instagram or Twitter and we can negotiate.Thank you for your time and patience. Hopefully we can work together on your piece one day!
