WHAT DO I DRAW?

I am an animal artist, I do feral and stylised animal art - at the moment I am not comfortable drawing humans and humanoids, furries included!
I happily draw animal-based creatures/monsters.

Currency accepted in USD and can be paid through PayPal.
Commissions can be paid either 100% upfront or split 50% upfront and 50% after sketch approval.
Don't send me any payment before I have agreed to give you a slot and requested you to send me the payment.

After delivering the finished piece, I am unable to give you any refund.
Once I started to work on your piece, I am able to give you a partial refund if needed.
If I cannot deliver your piece because of me, I can give you 100% refund.
If you are getting a refund, do not request a Paypal chargeback. I will transfer the money back to you myself.

You get 3 rounds of changes on the commissioned piece included in the price.
A fee will be added if you want something changed on the final drawing - unless a misunderstanding from my side has been made.
If you wish for me to change something in the drawing you have previously approved, I will charge you a fee to change it. The amount of the extra charge depends on the change you want me to make and is usually based on an hourly wage.
If your reference is unclear to start with changes will come at an extra charge.

The time it takes to finish your commission varies from 1 week - 3 months depending on factors such as health, the complexity of the commissioned piece and other work.
Once the piece is finished you will receive the full-resolution image along with a web-friendly size. Note that there is no physical product.
The final piece comes in 300 DPI and in A4 size (approx. 210 x 297 mm, exact size can vary due to the nature of the piece).
