If you have multiple characters you would like to see in my style, know that I quite enjoy the opportunity of choice.◈ While I do not maintain a waitlist, you may still join my Discord where you may receive direct pings for public openings as soon as they are available.

You may loosely define poses or areas that you are interested in seeing, but the majority of this project is left up to artistic interpretation.No WIPs are provided unless the point of the sketch page is design iteration, at which point WIPs are provided for each set of iteration.

An On-Base custom is a design made on any of the pre-existing bases that I have available in my Shop. You may choose to purchase the original base along with your custom.A New Base custom is a design made on a new design base, which will be provided along with the finished design. Every New Base comes with two variations along with your finished design: one “naked” version showcasing clear anatomy for you to build upon and one “standard” version. Optional add-ons are outlined below.Understand that these bases are not exclusive to the Client and that upon completion, I may use, edit, or build upon the base for additional designs to sell or may upload the base (edited, expanded, or as-is) to my Shop for others to purchase and use. Per my TOS, you may choose to privatize these bases for a fee of $200 USD or 50% of the invoice total(s), whichever is highest. It is recommended to pursue this type of custom for generic creatures (ie: an owlbear base) and not for personal IPs (ie: a Closed Species base).Complexity refers to designs that include (but is not limited to) the following: Wings and extra limbs; Scales, feathers, long fur; Horns, spines, antlers, plates; Complex, geometric, and runic markings; Some extreme poses (if specified), especially if the character's anatomy is complex.

You are not permitted to resell or redistribute the Base as-is or with additional edits. Understand that I make no guarantee that any designs made on my bases will sell. That is not something I can control.Understand that any unpaid, undesired, or ultimately scrapped concepts are property of me (the Artist) and subject to later use/resale without notice.
