• 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 nonbinary, neurodivergent 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
• 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.
• You must be 18+ to place a NSFW commission.
• 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 two pieces of artwork per commissioner, per form. You can submit as many forms as you like but please realize I might take longer the more I have on my plate!
💸| 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 $25 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 render in greyscale, so values are shaded in for main figures. 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.
