Check out my commission sheet here: akilehhelika.deviantart.com/ar…

Okay! So I'm holding commissions now and I'm really nervous about it! I'll start out with some... questions that don't sound so business-y

Why have I decided to put myself up for commissions?
-I think I can do it. I'm desperate for money, and maybe that sounds like a bad reason, but I am and this is the way I would like to accomplish that.

Why am I nervous about this?
-Well, I just feel like... maybe I'm not good enough to be asking for money... it's not necessarily a egotistical thing when I say "I'm ready to draw and get paid!" There are so many artists out there who definitely deserve to be paid for their work, and I'm so humbly trying to say "Oh... maybe me too?"

What do I need money for?
-The future mostly. My boyfriend lives in Europe over 5,000 miles away and visiting him is really taxing. I'm in college and trying to make a small living for myself, and various things make me very hesitant to get a job that requires me to leave my house-- no it's not just laziness.
I want to be able to buy small things now, and save up for big things later. Besides, I'm going to be a teacher. Haha, any extra income is exponentially helpful.

okay, now business questions...

What I WILL Do:
-fanart and original characters
-anything up to Rated R work... (but we can negotiate)
-Nudity, Ecchi,
-M/M, F/F whatever pairing really...
-Any redraw of a provided screenshot

What I WON'T Do:
-XXX rated work... anything extremely pornographic, I guess
-underaged nudity (that's a no-no)

What I'm Commissions I'm Accepting:
-Chibis: Sketches ($2.50), Flat Color ($3.50), and Full Color ($5.00)
Semi-Realistic Bust: Sketch ($7.00), Color ($9.00)
Sketches: sketch only ($6.00), gradient shadow ($7.50)
Redrawn Screen shots ($20.00)
*Couple/Group images may cost extra depending on the content.
*For now, I will not be accepting any detailed backgrounds unless otherwise negotiated.

If you would like any other format then please talk to me and we can try and work something out!

How to Commission Me!
-First message me, either here or tumblr... anywhere is fine.
-Describe the image you would like to commission me for, including the format you would like it done in :D
-Wait for my return message and we can talk over references and the details of the work.
-Send payment via PAYPAL
-Wait for confirmation and I'll get to work
-Once I am finished, I will message you and send your image through whatever means you'd like. :heart:

How long will my commission take?
-It depends obviously on how busy I am and how much work goes into your specific picture. Smaller commissions should be done within a week or two, and more detailed commissions may take anywhere from a week to a month.

What to do in case of cancellation?
-Incase you need to cancel for whatever reason, please message me and we'll talk about a refund for you. If it's me who absolutely needs to cancel (for some reason I can't think of), I will contact you and we can either negotiate an extension or refund, promise!

What payment do you take?
-Just Paypal for now! I'm not really sure how to work with the other options, hehe ^^;

Any other questions not answered?
-Message and ask please! :heart:
