Can be sold for no more than the total amount of money you spent on them (emergency sales are the only exception, but please let me know first--I don't bite!).

Can change species/be redesigned at your leisure--no need to ask for permission, but please credit me as the original designer/creator.

Please do not edit or alter my artwork without my permission. I usually allow edits if you ask!

For customs, I will not replicate previous designs made by me, and especially by other artists.

Val-Shenn Terms

I only accept USD via Paypal invoice. The invoice will also include my Terms of Service in the description.

Final price may vary due to character or prompt complexity.

I will start working once full payment has been sent.

I can offer payment plans for single commissions that price $150+. I will require at least $50 upfront and will show progress based on each payment sent.

When ordering a commission, it helps me a LOT if you tell me about your character's personality, and if you are specific with what you want! I find it super easy to draw a character if I understand their personality, how they react to certain things, and their general demeanor. This means you will be getting the best quality art I can give!

Pose ideas, reference pics, etc. are highly encouraged! If sending multiple references of something specific (like a physical trait, markings, etc.), please make sure they are consistent to avoid confusion on my end.

Unless shown/stated otherwise, I use the crayon brush for lineart. The final product may have a sketchy look to it! This excludes pixel art.

I will always send a sketch for approval. I will continue the commission and make any changes as needed once feedback is received.

Additional progress shots can be sent upon request, though usually I will touch base and send updates for lines, color, and finishing touches. If it's a big project, I am likely to send updates after each drawing session.

Turnaround time will vary between 3 days to roughly one month per commission, depending on what is being ordered. Larger/highly detailed projects may take longer. Because of this, slots will always be limited.

I have a high maintenance toddler that I care for by myself, so unfortunately I am only able to work roughly 1 to 2 hours per day on commissions. Therefore, I will not accept rush orders or guarantee deadlines v_v. I will try my best to finish my work in a timely manner, but if you do not expect to wait a long time for your art, please do not commission me.

You may access my commission queue here anytime to see what I'm currently working on!

I will be able to issue a full refund if I feel that I cannot draw what has been requested, or if I have not sent a sketch of your commission. You may ask for a refund at any time as long as your commission is not finished by my standards.

Partial refunds may be issued depending on progress made as follows:

Sketch/Lines = 75% /// Unfinished Color = 50%

Once a partial refund has been issued, you may ask to receive the SAI or PSD file. You are welcome to complete the artwork yourself or have someone else do it for you, but you must give me partial credit.

When posting commissioned art anywhere, you must credit me (toyhou.se username is manticorgi).

When selling characters with my art, you must not sell my art for more than what you originally paid.

If you plan to use my art for commercial purposes (physical products, digital content, company assets, etc.) please let me know before sending payment so we can discuss file resolution and prices.

Failure to adhere to my rights as an artist WILL result in a warning, or even a public blacklist depending on the situation. Out of common courtesy please consider these, they are not unreasonable.

I reserve the right to deny a commission inquiry for any reason.

If for some reason I cannot finish your commission (due to my own real life/personal issues), I may issue a partial refund based on progress (see Refunds above).

I may use any commissioned art for examples, or upload them on any of my social media accounts.

I will never reproduce commissioned artwork in the form of physical or digital merch, unless the commissioner grants me their explicit permission.

I may post NSFW commissions only on my NSFW account.

ALL of my work, whether commissioned or personal, are NOT to be used for NFTs under any circumstance.

Do not repost my art without my explicit permission (barring those who purchased their commissioned art/owns the rights to the character the art is attached to). In addition, do not impersonate me.

Do not trace over, recolor or alter my artwork without my explicit permission (barring any lineart bases that I create, which may be used by anyone who purchased them).

Do not claim my work as your own. Collaborators may claim partial credit (includes lineart bases when used).

Do not resell my artwork for more than what you paid, i.e. if you did not pay for my art, you cannot make monetary profit from my art.

NSFW mentioned here is in reference to suggestive or sexual adult content, and does not include graphic violent depictions with blood and gore.

Due to being fairly new to drawing NSFW content, I do not have many examples to showcase.

** I have never drawn fetish art before but I may be open to these if the prompt interests me enough. There will be an upcharge which will depend on what is being requested, however I may decline altogether!**

I prefer to draw sub personalities with doms, but I am open to any matchup! Gender is also no issue for me.

If you're interested in something isn't listed here, feel free to ask!

Most of these are unfinished examples and colored sketches! Overall quality will be the same as my regular commissions.

Final price will be based on commission type, character complexity, prompt, and NSFW upcharge.
