I strongly recommend coming with a bulleted list of your sequence concept so I can quote for your specific request.Generally, sequences will be based off the bust/fullbody prices, with bust prices covering things like close-ups and smaller panels.Prices range from $150-700+.

Terms of Service

^{I know it's long. I should've been a legal writer.}

General

I will not draw NSFW commissions for clients under the age of 21.
I may simply refuse a commission because I am not confident in my skill level for the project.
I can also refuse a commission if I’m not comfortable with the subject matter.
Please see my "will do / won't do" list below!
I am on the autism spectrum; I may need some extra patience on my clients' end, as well as clear and explicit language in commission requests. Thank you!

Pricing + Payment Policy

My listed prices are base prices. They can go up for complex concepts, designs, or specialty orders. Clients are always welcome to ask me for a free, no-obligation quote.I prefer to have full payment upfront, but I am willing to do 50% once the idea is agreed on & the other 50% upon sketch approval, according to the client's comfort level.I use Paypal Invoicing.

Edit Policy

I will always show you the sketch before I begin finalizing the picture. You are allowed 1 major edit session for free in the sketch stage. This can be used to clear up any misunderstandings on my part, adjust any poses you don’t particularly like, etc. Once you approve the sketch, I begin on the final lines.If you suddenly need to make a major change to the piece after you've approved the sketch, it will incur an Intensive Edit fee of $40 per hour of rework.
For these reasons, please inspect the sketches carefully and make sure that everything is to your liking. Questions are welcome if you need clarification on the sketch!

References

Take the time to gather all visual references. I am happy to wait if it means you are able to accurately convey your idea!
I work best with visual references and short, small notes, such as a bulleted list.^{I have two recommendations:
1) a full reference sheet with front, back, and profile full body views, as well as close-ups of any special interest areas, like tattoos or scars, and any important jewelry if applicable.
2) a faceclaim (a person, animal, or object that closely resembles your character), pictures of their body type, an outfit(s) they would wear, and pictures that resemble or inspire anything specific about the character, like jewelry, magic, prosthetics, etc.}
These are not the only ways you can give me your references, but these are preferred.Please keep all references & information relevant to the illustration you're requesting!

Will do / Won't do
^{+ Transgender Art Policy}

My will do / won't do list is located at the bottom of the TOS. Please be advised that it is 18+ and generally reserved for NSFW commissions.
Fave = I will almost ALWAYS be down for drawing these.
Yes = Also almost always, although these aren’t guaranteed.
Maybe = Often I will do these, even if they aren’t my cup of tea. I won’t turn you down solely for these subject matters.
No = I will not do these.
If you’re unsure if a subject matter falls under will do or won’t do, you can always ask me.
Transgender and GNC characters are extremely welcome & encouraged! But if you describe your character as “futa”, “herm”, etc., or otherwise utilize harmful/outdated rhetoric towards intersex individuals, your commission will be rejected.

Communication

Always feel free to message me about your commission and check on its status! The quickest way to reach me is through Discord!But please keep all edits and major notes in one cohesive message! I lose track of information easily, so I prefer to keep it all in one message (or same cluster of messages).

Refund Policy

By approving the sketch(es), you are agreeing to the idea that this piece is turning out how you wanted it to, and that you have the funds available.If a significant amount of time (over 1 hour) has gone into a piece that must be refunded, then I will subtract a fee from the refund relative to the time taken on the piece.Refunds are extremely rare and will be handled on a case-by-case basis.

Three Strike (Or One Big Strike) Policy

If you violate or show no respect for these rules during our business together, I will cancel your commission.
Three strikes on smaller things (highly excessive edits, unnecessary rudeness, ignoring crucial information in the TOS, etc) will get your commission cancelled and, potentially, may discontinue any future business between me and you. This is a personal preference to keep my job enjoyable for me, so I can perform long-term.
If you hit the big strike, your commission will be automatically cancelled.
A big strike can be:
> being extremely disrespectful to me without reason
> being outed as a pedophile/transphobe/racist/etc
> repeatedly violating my ToS
If the strike is severe enough, I will not do any future business with you.

Will Do / Won't Do

Please see my F-list for things I will do & things that are a soft or hard no!
Deege's F-List
I am very strict on my policy against hooved creatures and foot fetish.
I will not use character sheets or references prominently featuring either, and I will deny your commission if that’s all you give me.If you’re not sure about whether or not a subject is doable for me, I am always open for questions! However, I would deeply appreciate if clients didn’t try to “work around” my hard no’s.Thank you for reading the rules! I look forward to working with you!

Commission Request Example

To help those who are unsure or need help with the commissioning process, I've prepared this example sheet! Feel free to adjust to your liking, or simply copy and fill out! This sheet includes all of the information needed to complete your commission.

Sponsorship Illustrations

Sponsorship Illustrations (also referred to as sponsor commissions) are personal projects that a client can "sponsor" at a cheaper rate than a regular commission, in order to allow a working artist the ability to comfortably spend time on said personal project without fear of "wasting time".
Commissions are my sole income, and any artistic time not spent on them is time not paying my bills, unfortunately.
(The plague of capitalism strikes yet again!)
Sponsor comms give me a chance to comfortably work on things that bring me joy while also maintaining a bit of financial safety.
Simply select which illustration you'd like to sponsor and DM me with the selection and your Paypal address for the invoice!
(And be prepared for me to shower you in tears and gratitude.)Explicitly NSFW ideas will be marked with a ✨; ideas with a NSFW option will be marked with 🔮.
