Description Due to the fact that well I'm broke, in college, and badly in need of some money, I am going to finally open up commissions. Please bear with me for I have not done this before. Below is the general information, how I charge, etc. etc.


--------------------------------------------


AVAILABLE SLOTS!

COMMISSIONS ARE CURRENTLY CLOSED!!!

If you want to commission me, find out how below. Make sure you fill out a form, which you can find below under "Payment Method" If you have requested a commission before, but did not make it in time, you still have to resubmit your request. I want everyone to have an equal shot at glomping a slot.

NOTE! A name on the list with a "strike" through it means that I am finished with that person's commission. It does not mean that it is open. You can start requesting for commissions when a slot says "OPEN."

--------------------------------------------

PAYMENT METHOD

I Accept Paypal ONLY.

If you do not have a paypal account, you can get one here: www.paypal.com/

You must be 18 or over to get a paypal account. IF you are UNDER 18, and still want to commission me, you can use someone else's account (such as your parent, guardian, or friend) to pay me.


--------------------------------------------

REQUEST FORM

Send me either an e-mail (youkaiyume@yahoo.com) or a note with the title: COMMISSION. The following is the request form that MUST be included in your note. (If you do not fill out the form properly it might delay/prevent you from getting approval for a slot):




1) Your name and e-mail (If you really feel like it, you can also include your phone #).

2)What?: Character(s), specifications, what kind of picture you want it to be such as romantic, comedic, etc. composition (optional) and other details.

3)Type: Half Body, Full Body, or Chibi style?

4) Style: (Sketch, Cell, Soft, Painter, or Copic Markers)

5) Background: if you want one. (simple or complex and please include all details on how you want it.)

6) Reference material (ESPECIALLY for original characters. This can also include material that you want included in backgrounds, clothes, or anything of the like). NOTE! If your commission requires reference materials, YOU MUST INCLUDE IT IN YOUR REQUEST! I will not approve of your request until I get all the sufficient references I need.

7) If you are okay with me putting it into my DA gallery afterward, and if it's okay for me to sell it as a print should I choose (does not include fanart).


After receiving your order, I will try to send you a preview sketch as soon as I can. If satisfied, you pay a deposit of HALF of the total price. Upon completion of the entire thing, I will send you another preview, and if you are happy with the overall outcome, you pay the rest of the total.

Once I receive payment, you will get the high res file in uncompressed jpeg format. You can also request the .psd (.psd will be flattened)

Drastic or complete changes in your order that require a resketch will cost an additional $10.



--------------------------------------------


ALL COMMISSIONS ARE FIRST COME FIRST SERVE!
Check the slots regularly to see if there are any open. As soon as the slots are filled, all requests shall be deleted. So, if an open slot appears again and you still want to commission me, you must resubmit your request.

EXTRA NOTES:

1) Deadlines: If you have a deadline, it must be at least a month in advance of the original request date.

2)The working format will be on 300 dpi, at an 8x11 canvas by default, unless otherwise specified. 11x14 is the maximum canvas you can request.

3) You may request a print of your commission at 8x11 glossy print size (or otherwise specified) at an additional cost of $10.

--------------------------------------------

CANCELLATIONS and REFUNDS

1) If you decide to cancel your order, you must do so before I send you the preview sketch and you have already paid me the deposit. If you decide to cancel AFTER this time, you do not have to pay the second half of the price, but you WILL NOT get a refund on the deposit.
2) If for some reason, I cannot complete your commission and decide to drop the project, you will get a full refund, regardless of if you have paid me the deposit or not, or how far along I am on it.

I will wait patiently for a new opening, but I do have one question - if I was hoping to commission 2 drawings - do I have to commission them separately? Or as long as I get a spot and I commissioned both at the same time, I can maybe get both?

Just a question about the backgrounds: if I ask for one, can I ask for whatever background I want, or does it have to be one of the examples?

I have a question, and sorry if it's a stupid one:

If I were to send you a photo of people in real life, could you draw it anime-style if I decided to commission you?

I hope to hear back

Take pity on a broke girl who just wants a simple sketch of a five-year-old Sesshomaru making a mess all over a kitchen counter that's too tall for him while he just tries to be a big boy and make himself a bowl of cereal?

Or like... You could do point commissions when you have time.
People, (myself included), would be all over that.

For Cell Style is it always 'chibified'? If not, is there an example of the not? Thanks.

Excuse me, but would you mind if I used your Commision Info page as a template for my own? It's my first time making one, and you have by far the most straightforward and well organized one that I have seen yet. I would be sure to give you credit, and I would not be copying it exactly.

Thank you very much.

While it makes me sad your not doing commissions I guess i'm sorta relieved, i myself have no paypal account and my parents probably wouldn't even pay for the commission i have in mind. 3:>
I love your work big fan <3.

oshirigaitai [2010-04-01 09:14:13 +0000 UTC]

I hope you don't mind my asking, but when do you think you'd be able to do commissions again? I really love your chibi styles 1 and 2 and was hoping to have one or both for one of my fandoms which is so very sadly lacking in fanarts.

celticreeder [2010-03-25 09:16:28 +0000 UTC]

How often do you usually offer commissioning? I've seen some artists offering almost once a month but I can't recall seeing you offering save for that one time back in 2007 but from comments posted, you've obviously offered more since then. I've been thinking of having someone do a couple of characters from my original story (still in progress) and you were the first person I thought of for who I'd love to have draw them. Just curious.

You'll be hearing from me again - and thanks for having this option open, to those of us without any artistic talent at all. LOL

I have a question, but first I will need to explain myself as to not confuse you or make you think I'm crazy o_o. Okay, so... once I get the money or when a slot finally opens up (whichever comes first) I'm hoping to order a cell shaded style 2 chibi picture of my OC. Well...I have pictures of her that I drew, however, none of them are colored. However! I do know what colors would be used so...the question. For a referance, would you want a guide that has just the base colors, or all the colors that would be used? Like...example: if the skin needed 3 colors, would you want me to send you just the base skin color or all three colors that would be used for the skin? I know that the cell shading technique is different for each person, so thats why I'm not sure what to send once I make my request.

YoukaiYume In reply to Cecona [2008-12-11 20:52:56 +0000 UTC]

sorry for the late reply. All reference that you give me needs to be enough that I can at least visualize it in my mind. If you already have a preconceived color palette, the LEAST you can send me is a written detailed description of your character including their colors. The most helpful if is you already have a sketch of your character and if possible a colored picture.

The colored picture (if you plan on sending that as reference) is only needed for the base color. Shades and highlights are always subject to lighting when the artist themselves illustrate the picture. So the only thing that is needed is the base color. Hope that helps.
