Quote needed

Custom Designs


Will you design Closed Species?

Yes! However you will be responsible for getting the design approved as well as acquiring any traits or myo slots needed for your design.The only exception for this rule is if I am an official designer of the species you're getting a custom of, in that case I will take on the responsibility of adding them to the masterlist and making sure you have all your traits before accepting the custom!I will not provide any traits or myo slots for you. If I am an official designer then your custom does not need a MYO slot. (This may change depending on the species)

You are responsible for getting any items needed for your custom design, whether that is trait, MYO or special items.

Commission Fees


quotes are always open, this page is just to let you know what might have a fee but the only way to know is with a quote!

These are just the most common things I draw that are complex enough to require additional fees. Anything else not listed under this may have a complexity fee such as some markings and physical features and will be mentioned in your quote.


Things that will NOT have a fee

  • Recoloring markings or adding small things/changes.

  • Removing a marking.

  • Making minor edits to the sketch such as horn shape, leg or tail positioning, expression, etc.


Fees

I may not add a fee to your quote if I think it won't be as difficult to draw for your specific custom.

  • Small/Cherub Wings - $10 per pair

  • Medium Wings - $30 per pair

  • Large Wings - $60 per pair

  • Complex Accessories (Intricate jewelry, Hats, Woven Clothing) - $15 - $30

  • Clothing (Outfits, Complex Clothing) - $25 - $75 (Case by case)

  • Certain Markings - $5 - $25 (Case by case)

  • Palettes with all neon colors (I have sensitive eyes) - $50

  • Extra Limbs - $15 per pair

  • Mechanical Parts - $25 - $50

  • Certain Physical Traits (Super long tails, Lots of eyes, Feathers) - $25 - $75


What is General Complexity?

If I feel that a design or character as a whole will take me a while to draw due to a lot of details I may add "General Complexity ($??)" in your quote. You can always ask specifically why there is a general complexity fee and I will always be as transparent as possible.

  • Clean Lined commissions have a fee for heavy clothing that is on a case by case basis for simplicity sake.

  • An abundance of accessories can have complexity fees.

  • Major edits, such as redrawing something after it has been lined, completely redrawing everything and having to redo certain markings that already have a fee applied, will have an extra fee.

  • NSFW content will usually have a complexity fee to cover posing, environmental aspects, character interaction, and other things.


Rush Fees

If a commission needs to be completed fully in less then a weeks time there is a rush fee that is dependent on how short the time to work on the commission is.Rush fees do not add to the resale value of the customs that have their value logged in a masterlist.
