SLOT AVAILABILITY

You should be able to check the number of slots available on my Ko-fi. Please contact me at xiumaiart@gmail.com if you would like to be put on waitlist if slots are filled!

TERMS OF SERVICE

  • Commissions are for personal use only. You can display it on your personal page, make edits to it to use on your website, etc. If you are unsure of whether you can use it for something, please just ask! No one else will be allowed to use your commission unless you give them permission to, again, for personal use only.

  • Commissions for commercial purposes will come at a later time when I am able to hash out all the details, but for now I will not be taking them. This means that the artwork cannot appear on anything that will be sold.

  • The character(s) belongs to the commissioner, but as the artist I still have rights to the produced artwork to show as samples in the future (I will not be using them in any way commercially*). Your commission will be watermarked when posted publicly, you will receive the unwatermarked PNG image.

  • If you are selling your rights away for the character to someone else, you cannot charge them more than what you paid me for the commission piece.

  • If you would like the commission to be private (i.e., I will not post it anywhere,) please let me know beforehand. An additional $5 fee will be charged for this.

  • The Paypal account you are using must be your own.

  • Invoices will be sent within 24 hours of accepting your commission, please pay within 48 hours to proceed.

  • Commissions are done in the order they are placed, and will be done within three weeks (assuming the commissioner replies to the WIP in a timely manner. Estimated delivery times may be slower if you take longer to reply.) The estimated time frame is provided I have no other commissions I'm working on ahead of yours (this timeframe will be communicated to you before accepting your request.) If you have a deadline please let me know ahead of time, I will let you know whether or not I can complete it by then. If the deadline is not able to be met, I may decline your request.

*exception to "fan art chibi" commissions

PAYMENT

100% of payment is taken upfront. if for whatever reason your payment is on hold, your commission will not be started until the payment has cleared. Paypal and credit/debit card accepted in US or Canadian Dollars.

For any reason you need a refund in the middle of the commission process, here is the following amount that will be refunded to you minus any Paypal fees:

  • Not started: 100%

  • Sketched: 75%

  • Lined: 50%

  • Flat coloured: 25%

  • Fully shaded and completed: 0% (no refunds on completed artworks)

COMMISSION PROCESS

  • Confirm payment

  • Initial sketch sent to commissioner for approval (please request any changes at this stage, I will be open to making changes up to two times for free - additional changes after two shown WIPs will be +$10 per requested change)

  • Completed drawing and full resolution files sent to your email

You will receive a WIP at the sketch stage only, please make sure you request any changes at this time. You will not be charged extra here as this is just the preliminary part, if changes are asked later it may be more difficult and additional charges will apply. Please feel free to be as critical as you like, this commission is for you! If there are any mistakes on my part (e.g., I missed a crucial part of the design) once the commission has been completed, I will fix it free of charge. This doesn’t include for example a change of pose, as the entire image would need to be redrawn and was something that should have been specified at the sketch stage.

STYLES

DETAILED CHIBI

  • +$20 for complex designs

Includes: original high res. artwork (usually around 2000x2000 px).

Backgrounds are not currently being offered, but please let me know if you would like a simple, solid coloured one (either a colour of your choice or I will eyedrop a matching colour from the existing character).

Examples of (but not limited to) things that may increase the price of your commission:

FAN ART CHIBI COMMISSIONS (20% OFF DETAILED CHIBI PRICE)

Fan art chibi commissions are the same as detailed chibi commissions, but are of characters from a certain series. This list may be updated in the future!

  • Persona
  • Fire Emblem
  • Final Fantasy
  • Honkai Star Rail

Commission artwork may be used to turn into merchandise sold in my shop. Any artwork turned into a product will be shipped to you at no extra cost (as long as you provide a shipping address.)

If you would like to request a fan art character without allowing me permission to create merchandise out of it or is a character from a series not included in the list, please commission me under the "detailed chibi" option!

CUSTOM CURSOR

 

  • $25 USD per cursor (add-ons available)
  • 48*48px file

Includes x11.png and x10 .cur (static) files or x11 .gif and x10 .ani (animated) files. All cursors are completed on a standing base, with custom facial expressions available. One expression available per cursor set. Additional expressions are available at an add-on price. Please add-on the correct number of  facial expressions if you would like more than one additional (e.g., if you would like three, add on two (one already comes with the original commission). Additional facial expressions can only be applied to a different cursor, it will not be exported as multiple cursor sets.)

Cursor colours may be customized. You may select more than one, just make sure to indicate which colour for which cursor! You may provide a hex code if you wish to be precise on the exact shade. Multi-coloured gradients are also okay.

SENDING REFERENCE IMAGES

Please make sure your character is fully ready to draw! I unfortunately cannot accept written descriptions as these are commissions for existing characters, not character design. (You are welcome to find a picture of certain clothing you would like to see the character in online and I will draw it based on that reference image)

DO'S AND DON'T'S

I’m comfortable with doing anything that isn’t NSFW (mild NSFW is okay), I can do fan art, original characters, or real people. I can draw you from a photograph but please make sure there is a full body or multiple references with exactly how you’d like to be drawn (clothing, hair style, etc.) I can draw pets to go with characters, weapons, armour, and so fourth. If armour is too detailed some details may be simplified, you will be notified ahead of time if this need to be done.

Please fill out the form in on my Ko-fi to request a commission!

Once your request has been received, you will receive a confirmation from me once I’ve read it letting you know if your commission has been accepted, any other information I may need from you, or any other changes that need to be made along with the quote and turnaround time.
