I reserve the right to decline a commission for any reason. This especially counts if it doesn't follow my guidelines.

Refunds are applicable depending on the stage of which the piece is in.

I retain all rights to my works. I will use pieces for self-promotion and portfolio. I am typically pretty lenient about this though, so if you have an issue with this I'm happy to work things out.

You may not use my works for commercial purposes. This goes double for NFTs, Blockchains, Etc. My commissions are meant ONLY for personal use (Icons, Character Galleries, etc.).

I will not accept a refund once the commission has passed 50% completion. This can vary depending on what I'm doing, but the general area of 50% is finished line art and the start of flat colors.

Payment is in USD after the first thumbnail sketch. I will check the sketch with you for approval, and once it's in a place you like, I will accept payment.

If you're interested in a commission, contact me either via Twitter, [@Western_Shadows] or my Discord [@shadow3142]. We will discuss details and what you want there.

Regarding Paintings and Illustrations, please come to me with an idea of what you want in mind!

I'll send an initial thumbnail sketch (or few, depending on how much I am working with), where you may request changes where you see fit. Once the thumbnail is approved, I will send a full price Invoice through PayPal. Once payment is approved through you, I'll begin working. If you're unable to pay all at once and would rather do half and half, let me know and we can work something out!

I typically check in regularly to make sure you like how the piece is turning out. You can ask for minor changes as I go, but I will not change the subject of your commission once it is set in stone.

You may ask for a status update on the piece at any time. Depending on when you ask, I cannot guarantee I will get to you right away, but I will as soon as I can.

Once finished, I will email you a full-resolution PNG of your commission (if requested). Afterwards, I will likely upload it to social media and my portfolio.

I tend to have a bit of a sporadic workflow and also have other things going on in my life that pop up at random, so please be patient!! In most cases, I will usually have the commission finished within the next two months, but not always. If anything arises, I will let you know beforehand.

The only exception to the above rule are Paintings, Physical Charms, and Illustrations. Due to the complexity and circumstances of these selections, They will often take far longer and far more of my energy to do. If you order one of these, please be aware that you will be waiting a bit.

I am only taking three major commissions at a time. This is so I don't overwhelm myself.

Major commissions include but are not limited to anything above a colored sketch. Icons and colored sketches are the only exceptions to this rule because they are significantly easier for me to do.

I reserve the right to turn away a subject that makes me personally uncomfortable.

I will not, under no circumstances, draw anything that promotes bigotry, sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia, transmisogyny, ace/arophobia, or anything else of the sort.

Regarding NSFW: I am not going to draw deliberate pornography. However, I am open to drawing pinup or suggestive art of a requested character. You MUST be over 18 years old to buy this. I WILL BE CHECKING. Once age is verified, I will provide examples privately, and we can discuss from there.

Icons and Colored Sketches will not take up a commission slot. These will be open consistently and always available.

If you wish to purchase an illustration or painting, be aware that they are exempt from the two month deadline. The amount of detail I will put into these will cause them to take much longer to complete and can be stressful, so I will work at my own pace with those.

When buying a charm, you have two options: A still image OR physical package.

When buying a still image, you will only recieve a PNG of the drawn image.

When buying a physical package, not only will you receive the image, but you will also be mailed a physical acrylic charm as well.

The charm sent will be a 3" inch acrylic charm with front-side epoxy. Included will also be a small thank you card with a bonus doodle inside.

Please be aware I am going to need a name and adress to ship the package to! If you are not comfortable disclosing that to me, do not buy a physical charm!!

Orders outside of the US will likely cost more to cover international shipping.

Physical packages will likely take longer than two months to finish & ship!!!
