Next Commission Openings: Nov 14 + Quote window
🕑 Added 2025-09-29 17:40:22 +0000 UTCEDIT: QUOTE window offer:
if anyone wants to discuss/get a quote ahead of time, drop me an email some time between Nov 5 and 9 - we can discuss particulars, you can send me your full write-up and get a quote/preapproval, so you will be able to just send me the payment as soon as slots open and get higher up on the list.

OKAY! I've got the full information all set up and planned for my next commission slots! If you're interested, give this a read-over and please don't hesitate to ask any questions or raise any concerns you might have in the comments :)
*NOTE: Prices WILL remain the same this opening. *
However, they MAY not the next commission openings since everything is getting more expensive and my monthly bills aren't joking around. But I really wanted to do what I could to keep prices stable for as long as I could.
OPENING TIME: Friday NOV 14, 2025 / 6 pm CST
Bear in mind I will probably not respond to any commission emails until after slots have closed. So don't panic if you don't hear back immediately.
What To Send: When you send an email (not before Nov 14), include at least the following:
Name:
Email:
Scope of the project:
- (how many pages (can be approximate),
- pencil, inked or colored,
- how many characters, and if multiple characters, are they present on all pages?
Paying all at once or in batches?
- If in batches, do you have a basic budget for your first payment?
(Note: First batch must be at least 1/3 of the total commission)
IDEALLY: Send me the full write-up/details of the commission with your initial email, but at the minimum, let me know the above information separately/at the top of the email as well.
As long as you send me the initial email before I close slots, I will reserve you a spot. I officially add people to my worklist after I've received payment (and I add people to the list in the approximate order I receive the payment).
This is all to give me an estimate for how long it is going to take me to work on your project, so I can get a feeling for how many commissions I can take on before I close.
My Response:
I expect to take on an onslaught of emails, and it may take me 2 days or more to respond to your initial inquiry. I will not begin to respond to any emails at all until slots close. SO: as long as you sent me an email before my slots closed (I will post a time stamp here on the page when they close) then you can assume you got a spot in my reservation list even if you have not heard back from me yet.
Payment:
Once I confirm your slot and/or give you a quote, you may send payment (for at least the first 1/3 of the commission total if working in batches). *
Payment must be received by NOV 21 (1 week after commissions open) at latest, or else your reservation on my list will be forfeit.
Other Details:
- if you already are commissioning a long-running ongoing sequence with me that is not already paid in full by the time these slots open, please sit this opening out. You can continue to pay on that sequence as usual, however :)
- one sequence maximum per person. (If you are interested in a limited number of non-sequence pieces of art instead, that's also fine).
- If you want a ballpark of the pricing before you send me the sequence for a quote, check out my Commission Pricing Page:
- The quote will be good for until the commission is paid to completion, or one year from the first payment, whichever happens first.
*If you're not sure how long you want the sequence to be as a whole and instead plan on giving me a basic outline and pay for it in batches I can "spend" at my discretion - email me and we'll figure out a reasonable minimum first payment. However, I'm trying to discourage the incredibly long sequences with comparably slow payment plans that take literal years to complete this opening, because they lead to increasingly long wait times between openings.
* Note 2: if you're paying in batches, the amount you pay will cover the correlating amount of the sequence. if you pay for 1/3, I will draw the first 1/3 until I receive payment for the next batch.

Hi Andrew! Thanks for asking! This time slots are opening at the same time, but if anyone wants to discuss/get a quote ahead of time, drop me an email some time between Nov 5 and 9 :)

Hi Arania! Just a couple of questions around this: 1) Will the Patreon slots (e.g. 14th November) be opening ahead of public slots, or will they be released at the same time? 2) Is it OK to discuss the possibility/feasibility of more non-standard commissions ahead of 14th, with the full details being shared on the 14th? Don't want to jam up your workflow or anything!
