Process and TOS

OUR METHOD

Contact us through any means is more convenient for you and tell us about your idea! Be as vague or specific as you like; ideally we'll get a read on what your priorities are to be able to cook with what you're bringing. What we'll do is pitch you back a rough sketch (or animatic, or a set of thumbnails depending on the scope of your commission) to show you what we're willing to do about your idea, along a proper breakdown of the price, and we'll do this free of charge.

We do this because we are a pair of stubborn assholes who don't work well when compromising our ideas, but this also ensures you get our very best. These rough pitches are free because they're a sign of what we'd be willing to do when left to our own devices anyways, with the difference that we'd be adapting whatever ideas or characters you bring into our creative process.

If you approve of our initial pitch; sweet yo! thank you very much for allowing us to work on what we love!

PAYMENT AND PROCESS

We take payment through Arty, a platform designed to handle the commission process. And we assume this is your first time hearing of it, so don't worry, all you need on your end is an email and a payment method of your choice (PayPal works!). Arty holds the payment until the commission is completed to ensure both parties are happy with the result.
We'll keep you updated on your commission anyways through whatever method you choose to contact us.

Given our process requires your approval of our plans early on, we won't be sending you many WIPs unless you ask, but bear in mind our turnout time is within 1 month. We've heard horror stories about commission inquiries that have taken up to 3 years to be completed and we want to remedy this sort of practice in whatever way we can help it.

Once the commission is ready we upload it through Arty. They'll send you an email with an approval code so you can download your commission, and you can feel free to post it anywhere you like, credit optional.

ON PRICING

Illustrations: Assume the prices on the sheet contemplate up to two characters; it all depends on the composition of the piece. If your idea requires three or more characters we might up the price, and for this assume half of the base price to be added up per extra character.

Comics: We actually charge per every beat your story needs, which we equate roughly to a page. If we find the comic needs extra pages for the sake of flowing better we'll be adding these free of charge. We can also do some wacky stuff like color only the pages that have the juicier moments and leave the rest monochromatic for a lower price. You'll see the general outline and how many pages you'd be paying for if you request a pitch from us.

Animation: The price on the sheet is for a simple, single character loop. The price might vary when adding characters, variations, or big flashy finales to the loop. Assume $200 for each of these additions, but given animation is flexible and bouncy, each estimated price can be different. I can round up or down depending on your budget and make the appropriate cuts, either by reducing the frames or changing the style to something that requires less polish.

Bundles: We'll be happy to make a single invoice for several things if they're roughly related; say you want a ref sheet and a fully rendered piece to test out your brand new characters? We can make a little discount to give you the full package. We like big projects, they keep us fed for the month.

Budget: If you feel you're just out of reach for something you wanna get but really would like to let us do our thing, hit us up! we might be able to work something out.

ON THINGS WE DO AND DON'T

These are just our main courses, but we can try out new stuff if you're in need of something specific! Always assume the starting price to be $100 for banners, sets of emojis, pngtubers... Try us, we can give it our best.

Now if you mean subject matter, we can get pretty nasty and our limits are quite arbitrary, so you're better off asking directly. If it stands a chance to be spun into something positive even if kinky as fuck, we can probably handle it. Don't worry, we won't judge; we'll just let you know if we're the wrong people for the job.

ON COPYRIGHT AND FAIR USE AND OTHER STUPID WORDS

Literally post it anywhere you want and only give us a shout if you reckon other people could use our services. And if you see an adoptable you really like but is a closed species or has been sold to someone or want a YCH pose real bad but the auction fell through or an artist you like just won't open comms ever or whatever arbitrary limit you find on your creative potential, bring it to us and we will cook you a homemade equivalent.
