Q: When do I pay?
A: I'll send you the invoice after you've approved of the first phase of the work (e.g. sketch). You can pay all at once or in parts :) I can only give you the finished work once it's fully paid.

Q: How do you calculate prices?
A: My flat base prices are based on how long each commission type generally takes. I record my work times so I can continue to make accurate and fair estimates for all kinds of commissions. Example: Rough concept sketches have consistently taken me about 5 hours to complete, and I work at $20/hr, which makes the base price $100.So if you have a budget, ignore the listed prices; I'll estimate how much work I could complete in the hours your budget covers.

Q: How do you calculate the prices for VTuber model art?
A: (illustration base price + separated pieces) + commercial usage. It's +70% of the base price to separate pieces and +20% of that subtotal for commercial usage. So that breakdown would look like this:VTuber full body
Standard full body illustration base price: 308
+ Separate pieces: 215.60
(= Subtotal: 523.60)
+ Commercial use: 104.72
= Grand total: 628.32 (rounded to $628)VTuber bust
Standard bust illustration base price: 128
+ Separate pieces: 89.60
(= Subtotal: 217.60)
+ Commercial use: 43.52
= Grand total: 261.12 (rounded to $261)The commercial usage fee is required to stream on Twitch/Youtube/etc. It can be removed if you're not doing that.Again, I don't rig! You're commissioning a .PSD file.

Q: What gets a discount for VOCALOID-related commissions?
A: I want to support the use of classic VOCALOIDs that have defined my love for music and storytelling. Commissions related to most characters originating from the VOCALOID engine are 30% off!This offer is based on my own interest in characters and banks that were prominent in the community prior to AI, so the final yes/no will come down to my discretion. These are general guidelines.✓ Most characters originating from the VOCALOID engine are included (e.g. Crypton, Internet Co.).
✓ Well-known derivatives (e.g. Akita Neru) are included.
✓ Original characters related to VOCALOID songs (e.g. story projects) are included.
? UTAU is a gray area. There are a few I want to include like Kasane Teto and Gekiyaku, but not for projects that only use their AI banks.
? Not included are any characters who originate from an AI bank. Vocal synth engines outside of VOCALOID mostly aren't included.
? Non-VOCALOID vocal covers of VOCALOID songs is a gray area.

Q: What's your refund policy? How can I use your work? What's considered commercial usage? etc.
A: All answers are in my ToS!
