• You can check the progress of a commission through my Trello! Usually you'd be the first one I come to when it comes to progress, but if you prefer to see your work in a queue of sorts this is handy!
• Have you commissioned me and you want to leave your thoughts and comments for others? Check out my Toyhou.se thread!
💫| INTRODUCTION
Hi there! My name is Mars, it's a pleasure to meet you! I use They/Them pronouns and I'm a hobby artist. I've been a digital hobby artist for 11 years and counting now. I've got a lot of passion for what I do, and I primarily create my work in Clip Studio Paint. I have experience in a lot of different types of work, and I'm always excited to try new things!

❔| GENERAL
• You must be 18 years old or older to order a commission from me. By accepting my policies, you are agreeing that you are the appropriate age to order.
• I reserve the right to deny your commission in any circumstance.
• I reserve the right to use your completed commission for self-promotion and examples of my work.
• I do not replicate styles from other artists. However, I can take inspiration from certain styles- please mention something about it.
• Please use the commission form to order! It can be difficult to get all of the information for a client and keep track of it. Filling out a form will help make the commission process quick and easy for the two of us. It also protects me as an artist and lets me know you've understood my terms. You can either fill out a Google Form, or you can commission me through VGen!
• First come, first serve basis!
• Max of three pieces of artwork per commissioner, per slot.
💸| PAYMENTS
• 100% upfront.
• I do not do refunds after the sketch stage.
• I may ask for a small fee for complexity if your character is particularly detailed (lots of jewlery, detailed patterns in armor and clothing, complicated color palettes, detailed wings or fur patterns, props, etc.) I do not go higher than $15 for complexity fees.
• Make sure you have enough before you submit a request form.
• I only accept USD through PayPal and CashApp.
• I also have a VGen! VGen automatically converts currency.
🔧| REVISIONS
• Please be as detailed as you can be when you commission me! I work best with references (it doesn't have to be just art references either. I can work with dollmaker images / color palettes / moodboards / etc.) Unless you like a lot of artistic liberty, do not provide just written descriptions.
• I don't mind doing revisions during the sketch stage, as that is the period where most things must be changed / adjusted. I share a lot of my ideas during that stage anyways!
• I don't do major revisions after the linework stage. (eg. "I want my character's eyes to be a different shape!"👍 vrs. "I want my character to have an entirely different outfit!"👎)
🖌️| WORKFLOW
• I will always provide progress pictures and I will keep clients updated. I usually check in during the different phases of me working on said artwork.
• My artwork goes through three stages.
- Rough Sketch / Concept
- Cleaned Up Linework & Rendered
- Coloring & Background
• Rough Sketch / Concept : This stage is the rawest form of making a commission. It usually looks messy, unorganized, but has the basics of what my vision looks like for a commission. I usually lay out my ideas or suggestions during this time if I stumbled into aspects that weren't mentioned in the original description or physical reference.
• Cleaned Up Linework & Rendered: This stage is where everything looks cleaned up and pretty. I don't focus on backgrounds during this stage, nor do I focus on color.
• Coloring & Background: This is the final stage of my commission work. I focus on color and rendering backgrounds for this stage, and bring everything together.
🗓️| DEADLINES & DELIVERY
• ETA can be between 1 to 3 months (roughly estimated).
• My workflow fluxuates based on how motivated I am.
• I CAN work under time restraints. Please schedule realistically, and keep in mind that I charge an extra fee. The minimum time you can schedule is two weeks! This can range from ~$100 depending on the number of pieces, characters, backgrounds, and type of artwork I am doing. The more you have, the more pricey it will become.
• Delivery will be through Discord, Tumblr, Email, Toyhou.se, or VGen.
• Delivery will be watermarked, but you can request an unwatermarked version for personal use.

🗨️| COMMUNICATION
• Communication is very important to me! Please make sure you stay in touch incase you have any questions or concerns. There's no such thing as silly questions when you're commissioning me! Make sure you read over my TOS (or even re-read it even after commissioning incase you missed anything) before asking anything related to my services.
• You can contact me through Discord, Toyhou.se, Tumblr, or through VGen. It's helpful to me to know where we're chatting through so I can stay in touch for updates.
• If I am ghosted before I am paid, I will cancel your commission to free up another slot. If you commission me multiple times and you ghost me before payment every time, I will not give you the time of day.
