By commissioning a character design, you're entrusting me with my skills to develop a design on my own for you (with input on certain elements but not the entire character where it wouldn't really be designed by me but merely illustrated from a written guide or with visual references). |

FAQ
When will you accept commissions again?
Commercial commissions are usually open unless my work queue is too long. Please email me with your project, budget and timeline/deadline and I'll respond accordingly.I don't have an estimate for when personal commissions will be opening in the future. Please follow my twitter for updates as I usually make an announcement at least one week before I open them. You're free to email me with a request when the personal commission period is closed but chances of me accepting are very low unless I really like your idea and my queue is empty (please attach images of your character on the first email or you may not get a reply). Personal commissions accepted outside the official opening periods will take longer to be completed.
What tools do you use to draw?
Tablet: Wacom Intuos Pro (PTH451)
Programs: Clip Studio Paint PRO, Photoshop CS6
How long have you been drawing for?
I started drawing digitally in 2011, but I've liked drawing ever since I was very young!
What is Nyazeli Records?
Nyareco is the VTuber talent agency I'm affiliated with.
How often do you stream?
I try to stream 2-3 times during the week, often on weekends and usually during the night (after 6PM PST). Unfortunately, I'm unable to have a set schedule at the moment. If you would like to know whenever I go live, please follow me on twitter or turn on alerts on my twitch channel.

TERMS OF SERVICE
Personal commissions are not first come first serve. I manually select what I consider to fit my art style and personal preferences from the submissions received.
I reserve my right to decline a commission for any given reason. I won't be answering questions regarding why any individual submission was not selected.
I don’t accept written references. Submissions without at least one colored reference will automatically be rejected.
The average file size for a standard personal commission will be 1500px minimum. An additional fee may apply if the client requests a bigger canvas size for the artwork (must be discussed before I begin working on it).
Pose/design revisions are free until the lineart stage. Any major revisions after that may incur an extra fee. The fee will depend on the complexity of the revision request. I will not re-draw a new pose for the artwork after the sketch has been approved.
Posting the finished artwork in any social media is OK, as long as I am credited as the artist.
Personal commissions cannot be printed, resold, used for merchandise or any other type of profit activity. Only commercial work is intended for profit activities.
Modifying, tracing or manipulating the final artwork is forbidden, but cropping the artwork for social media and such is OK.
Expected turnaround time is 4 weeks after the invoice has been paid and up to 4 months depending on my workload and the type of commission.
The estimated timeframe may be extended depending on the type of commission requested (such as artworks with multiple characters and a complex background) and amount of revisions.
The delivery time highly depends on how many commissions I have in my queue.
Rush fees can be discussed if the client needs the artwork completed within a shorter timeframe. (Only available for Character Art commissions. Not available for all commission types.)
Payment will be done via Paypal invoice.
All prices shown in this website are in USD.
Payment plans are available for certain commercial commissions. The artwork will only be delivered once the payment has been covered in full.
Depending on the type of commercial work, a different budget from the quotes offered in this website may be discussed.
Payment plans are NOT available for personal commissions.
For personal commissions, the payment must be received in full before I start working on the commission.
Cancelling the commission and asking for a refund is possible only if I haven't started working on it. In this case, the client must cover any potential refund processing fees.
Commissions are NOT refundable once I have started working on them.
During certain circumstances on my side (e.g. health complications or hardware issues) that will extend the commission timeline indefinitely, a refund will be discussed with the client if I haven't started working on the commission.
The finished commission can't be used or edited with AI art generators or used to train AI datasets. No part of the finished artwork can be used and patched to generate new AI pictures.
I will not work with references made with AI. On the same note, I will not work with people who have a history of making AI art in the past.
BY ORDERING A COMMISSION, YOU AGREE TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS
