about me
hello! my name is ashi(or ashi), and i'm a transmasc full-time professional illustrator who works from home to produce commission based art! i have a dog (serina) who i care for more than anything! my other hobby is video games(sometimes getting in the way of my work... ehehe...), of which i normally play soulslikes, baldur's gate , monster hunter titles, and elder scrolls titles. I usually will keep up with "in season" games as well, my own funds permitting!! These are also the type of games I tend to stream when I do stream games! i live with 2 room mates who are like family to me, and I'm very blessed. ♥ i should also mention i do suffer from ptsd and severe depression, along with chronic fatigue, so sometimes my output will falter a bit, but i try to keep everyone updated if anything occurs!
work practices
i work ordinarily 5 days a week, sometimes taking up saturdays as well. wednesdays are also a half-day for me, so i usually only work till about lunch time those days!! i will also always stream personal art on thursdays at 1pm, which means i work a bit less that day as well. i usually work on many commissions at once, so if you see me jumping around, that's why! i will keep everyone updated if a commission will take me longer than usual! outside of that, most stuff from start to finish takes about a week, so keep that in mind when ordering.
past works
if you are interested in seeing any of my past works, i keep a documentation of everything i have ever completed, and as it stands, my usual output is about 15-20 pieces a month. i lump everything together from full illustrations to reference sheets, so keep in mind it isn't very organized.
terms of service
now onto the nitty gritty--my terms of service! this may change as time goes on, but clients who this will affect will be notified before any changes are made, or they will not be held to the standard of the new terms before their commission is complete.
Any commission can be declined, from either patron or otherwise, for any reason whatsoever. A reason does not need to be explicitly stated if you are declined a commission.
Refunds are given at only 2 stages of completion. If the commission has not been started, you may receive a full refund, if sketch is completed, 50% refund. After that, no refund may be given. Please be aware of my commission ETA and possible expenses in daily life before ordering. Refunds may also, in rare circumstance, be issued at any time by myself for any reason whatsoever. If the refund is issued by myself, however, it will likely be a 100% refund.
You agree by commissioning me that I am allowed to use your commission to promote myself, my art, and use it as an example for future works in portfolio fashion. I will not sell your commission of course, simply use as advertising.
I am free to manipulate color palette for the sake of aesthetic. Super saturated colors may be muted, for example, or blended with other colors. Please be aware of my coloring style when ordering.
Only major details can be changed at sketching stage, and after that point, only minor details. If a major detail you may have forgotten needs to be changed, i'll apply the first for free (at my discretion) but any additional large changes will cost an extra $15 USD each time!
You will receive multiple WIP's. One for each major stage; sketch (need approval for that for the customer), base colors, first stage shading and possibly other pieces if the piece takes long. I am always willing to show progress if you ask, as well.
Turn around time is anywhere from a week to a few months. I will be explicit with the times I expect it to take before ordering, so unless there is a reasonable emergency, or I have not been transparent enough, I won't do a full refund based on time waited. Customer service is important, and I will do my best to update clients daily if emergencies arise.
Things I will not draw include: Intense blood/gore, TF (transformation sequences between furry/human), images depicting an overly political or religious idea, feet explicitly, or pregnancy, children in any way, minors(non-nsfw may be okay), any kind of explicit fetish art(more may be added to this list as need be).
If your commission is NSFW, each case is handled independently. I may or may not approve depending on the content, but the only type of NSFW I will consider is consenting mature adults(no incest).
You can order more than 1 commission at once, but there is no discount for ordering subsequent commissions at once. Each commission you order will be treated as its own order. Ordering more than one at once simply means it will most likely be done around the same time!
Payment is through Paypal only. I use invoices to process payment. Only 1 invoice is sent per commission order. If you are splitting a commission with a friend, please coordinate so all money is still sent through invoice via one Paypal.
