Turn Around Time?
-Turn around time may vary but I try and get commissions done in 2-3 months, Traditional art might add a month on to the TAT-Commissioners will be informed of any events that may change turn around time as soon as I can-If you have a deadline please be upfront with me (I am happy to do my best to work within a certain timeframe but I can’t do that if I there was never one established)

Refunds?
-Once a commission is ordered and paid for refunds are NOT available unless I have broken my TOS or there are very special specific circumstances-Commissions that are not completed by deadline/ within the given turn around are eligible for refunds but will be judged on a case by case basis
Anything Else?
-I reserve the right to upload commissions to social media and or my portfolio! If you wish to keep a commission private please let me know while in the request process-I am willing to work with most prompts but will not except any commissions sexualizing underage characters, art involving scat, or art that is against human rights and/or racist.
