Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
General
Will you draw yaoi/yuri/hentai/graphic pictures for me?
No, sorry. Yaoi/yuri/hentai/graphic pictures are just not up my alley. I don't enjoy them; ergo I certainly won't enjoy drawing them. Anthro and Shounen-ai are a different story. So long as they aren't doing anything kinky, I'm down with it. But to email me about how far you can get away with it before I say No completely.
Can I commission custom characters for Cosplay or art?
Most certainly! I encourage it in fact! And if you don't have a character in mind, I love designing characters.
How long will it take you to finish my costume/art piece?
It will vary anywhere between a week to a couple months. Pretty much, the more smaller and simpler, the less time it will take, and vice versa. My schedule will also affect it a lot too. For art, it usually shouldn't take more than 3 weeks. And for costumes, so be sure to check out the home page for updates on commission status if you need a costume by a certain time!
What do you need from me to make my costume?
Aside from your measurements, I will need lots of good references. I don't have time to go google your costume so if you could provide those when asked, that'd be much appreciated. Also, if you'd like to provide your own materials for a costume, fees for that will be waived. But I advise against it as you may pick up a fabric that is not of good quality, or not enough.
What do you need from me to make my art piece?
Any info you'd like on your piece pretty much. Some prices will vary depending on complexity (including background and or extra characters), size, and medium. Reference pictures also help too!
Can you do non-anime commissions for me?
For either art or costume, certainly.
Can I use your art pictures for??
No you may not. Unless the picture is of something I drew for you for a commission, please do not use any of my art or cosplay pictures for anything. (Not even avatars or signatures)
I like your ____________ costume, can you make me one just like it?
No, sorry. Costumes already made will NOT be recreated. This is because if I just continue making the same things over and over, I won't be able to get any better.

What if I dont like what I got?
For both art and costume items, if it's a simple "I don't like it at all", there is no return for it, because it's like buying then watching a movie, and returning it for a refund because you didn't like like how it ended. That's not fair, now is it?
The item was damaged in shipping, what do I do?
Please contact me to see if the damage is fixable. If it isn't, then send the broken item back to me and I will make you a need one. But you will need to pay for half of the material costs only and for shipping costs from and back to you.
? is wrong, can you fix it?
For art, I will send you samples before finishing the final product, so that shouldn't need any fixing after the fact. For costumes, if something is wrong, you have 7 days after you've received the product to contact with the issue, in which, I will see if it is fixable. If it is fixable, then send it back to me and I will fix it, at no extra cost. But be advised, you will have to pay for shipping both ways.

Where do you ship to?
I ship internationally. For costumes, it will vary depending on size and weight. I will ask for your address before-hand and then find out shipping prices, then apply them to the total commission price.
General

- I inquire as to what parts of the costume you need
- I give a quote as to around how much the commission will be. (Components, detailing, wigs, other accessories, etc, will make the price vary)
- Then I require measurements. If you're in Calgary, AB, we can arrange a meet-up.
- I then require a 30% a deposit amount. This will cover the cost of the materials.
- Once done, I send you pictures (or a meet-up so you can try it on and such to make sure it fits). If any fixing or adjustments are needed, I will do that.
- Once you are completely happy with it, then I require the other half of the payment for the labour costs
- Enjoy your costume!

- PAYMENT I require a 30% deposit on all items before I will begin work. And they have to be paid in full before I will ship. All deposits are NON-REFUNDABLE.
- DEADLINES If you have a deadline, please indicate so when ordering. If I agree to it, I will do my utmost best to have your work finished by this time. Unreasonable deadlines will not be accepted and changes to earlier deadlines will not be accepted one the order has been agreed to. The desire to accept a rush order is up to me (the artist) as are any fees charged for this service.
- CANCELLING/ORDERING COMMISSIONS I reserve the right to cancel any commission at any stage of the process, if the commissioner is rude, threatening, or otherwise unreasonable. Once the order has been made and I have begun work (which includes having already ordered the fur) then no changes may be made to the commission.
If you wish to cancel your commission (for any reason), I will refund the balance and the deposit will not be returned.
If no reference art is provided for an original character, then I reserve the right to full artist license to create the character how I envision it (with only general guide lines given).
I also reserve the right to not accept certain orders and commissions. If a refuse a commission, I will always indicate why.
