i do not give psds of finished files because all of my work is messy as hell layer-wise and i'd be embarrassed. sorry

i am disabled & a chronic perfectionist - do not expect quick turnaround on most pieces

please have some kind of ref handy!

please be prepared for design simplification to occur in pixel edits & to a lesser extent chibi art! the smaller the medium/more compact and/or simplified the artstyle, the more simplification will occur. be sure to specify any super important details you want me to keep if they're small enough to be at risk of disappearing!

likewise, palette deviation may occur if necessary for readability at teeny tiny sizes, as in pixel sprites

i may make exceptions to my will/won't/maybe lists for my friends that i do not make for others. if i say no to your idea but yes to someone else it's nothing against you, you're probably just a stranger or someone i don't know very well LOL

no transphobes, bigots, or nftbros

all commissioned art is for personal use only, no commercial/nft use

please credit me for any use of my work! you can link back to any of my social media links from the header

i have the right to reject a commission for any reason

if i do not believe my skill level is adequate for the commission content, i will tell you so & whether i am willing to try and draw it anyway, though this may result in a price increase

all base prices are non-negotiable

i only accept payment through paypal

all prices listed are in CAD! (due to the being canadian and all. this means americans pay a teeny bit less thanks to the exchange rate!)

after accepting a commission, i expect full price up front for all pixels/sprite sets & sketches. for everything else, payment comes after the rough sketch

humans

human adjacents/human-shaped nonhumans & kemonomimi (eg catboys/doggirls)

canon characters

original characters

ships (canon/canon, oc/oc, oc/canon, & selfshipping are all ok by me!)

au/headcanon versions of canon characters

animals & furries (small snout)

animals & furries (long snout)

body/face horror - refer to my skill level disclaimer

nudity - see above note

machinery

ships involving incest or grooming

characters/media/ships i'm personally uncomfortable with - i will let you know

real people unless they provide explicit consent

romantic art of real life people unless they are in a relationship irl & as above have given permission - no rpf, including fictionalized versions of real people. that includes youtuber mcrp stuff, hamilton, ofmd, etc

character ref(s), at least 1 - picrew is ok, so is gathering some various preexisting characters and meticulously describing which elements you want to use

a description of the character's personality - for OCs as well as canon characters from media i am unfamiliar with

notes about any important design bits that i should pay extra attention to, especially if ordering chibi-style or pixel art

any other detail you think is important! i will probably also ask you about stuff

if possible, a sketch or reference for what you want the art to look like - eg, specific poses or expressions. sketch does not require effort, just give me a solid idea of what you want

contact info - i strongly recommend use of discord, i pay more attention to it than anything else! once again my username there is herooftruth

type of commission you want

what & how many characters you want

specification of what style you want the sprite to be in, in terms of what game/etc you want me to emulate - please provide examples

if possible, a canon sprite that looks the closest to what you want/a sprite i should use as the base - if not provided, you leave that decision up to me

following that, what parts, poses, or elements from other sprites you want me to use - eg, "i want this pose that kanon tachibana does [img example] but hair like coco's"

if they have existing sprites and you just want me to put new clothes on them or something, please provide me with said sprites

a basic idea of the character you want or design pieces you'd like; name, age, gender, palette, fashion style, interests, elemental/animal/etc theming, anything that i could use to take inspo from

any characters/designs you like and want me to use as reference

please be sure to tell me very specifically how much freedom i have with the design! it's okay to be missing pieces from the first bullet especially if you want to work backwards from the design i make, just be sure to tell me that's what you want LOL

HALF-BODY: $30

→ 2-CHARA HALF-BODY: $45

⅔ BODY: $40

FULLBODY: $55+, chibi or chibi-esque only

→ 2-CHARA FULLBODY: $75+, chibi or chibi-esque only

ADD $5: add simple background

ADD $5 (1 CHARA): basic shading on hair and skin

ADD $10 (1 CHARA): basic shading & simple background

ADD $10 (2 CHARA): basic shading on hair and skin

ADD $15 (2 CHARA): basic shading & simple background

FULLBODY: $100+, chibi or chibi-esque only

→ 2-CHARA FULLBODY: $150+, chibi or chibi-esque only

ADD $5 TO ANY: add simple background

"full rendering" simply means all elements will be shaded. shading type, gradients, etc depend on artstyle used & may be priced differently

PRE-EXISTING DESIGN: $40+, chibi style only - not recommended for super complex designs

CUSTOM DESIGN: $50+, chibi-style only

NOTE: pre-existing design does not mean you need a design sheet already, it only means you need to have preexisting art you've made, commissioned, or a basic idea built in any kind of character creator, from picrew to pokemon - in other words, you have some kind of visual reference and a strong idea of what you want. a custom design would entail little to no reference images and an intent to leave the majority of the design in my hands

dunno how to classify this tier or any of these pieces other than the fact that all of them took a LOT of time and effort, so i hope just looking at them will give you the gist

crazy lighting, lots of effects, neat backgrounds, the works

pricing will depend heavily on artstyle used, pose, how much of the body is visible, etc

i will probably not do any fullbodies in non-chibi/chibi-esque style for this unless you're willing to dish out a LOT of cash

while i AM willing to put more complex backgrounds on these, please note i cannot and will not hand-draw backgrounds. the ones in these pieces are all existing images that i heavily edited. i do best with SYMBOLIC backgrounds rather than LITERAL ones

$5: one FULL basic sprite set (15 sprites) of one character standing, walking (forward, backward, left, and right), celebrating, and slouching

add $3: one additional sprite set (14 sprites) of the same character based on the cleaning, mining, and sleeping sprites as seen in school mode

add $1: if you've ordered multiple characters, i will make them hold hands in a cutiepilled fashion

ALTERNATIVE $5 OPTION: one sprite styled like those seen on the doors of each character in dr1 (add $10 for full gif animation of monokuma dragging them off for execution, or $5 for just the raw sprites for that sequence)

MAXIMUM BULK ORDER: 5 unique characters with the basic set (15 sprites each, total of 75 sprites), OR 2 unique characters with full sprite sets (29 sprites each, total of 58 sprites)

ESTIMATED TURNAROUND TIME: <1 day per sprite set

bulk ordering is making multiple commission requests at once in one single payment, which i only accept for sprite orders

each sprite is considered a unique artwork, so there are no discounts for adding extra characters

once a bulk order is completed, you can make another one of the same size. the limits given are just how many i can comfortably and confidently take on at once

the limits vary per type/character count

i am OPEN to doing spritework for fangames (danganronpa, pokemon, even homestuck fanadventures), but PLEASE inform me if this is the case in your request

sprite bulk orders for fangames have a much higher limit than personal use bulk orders

i will require credit for all fangame use within the ingame credits - if you're on reliccastle/going to post the game there, lmk, i have an account right on there you can credit!

$10: one SINGLE front-facing sprite

add $2: get 3 additional sprites of the character facing left, right, and back (leftmost column in the example images)

OR add $6: get 2 full 16-sprite set of the character standing, walking, and sprinting in 4 directions

OR add $8: add one full 16-sprite set of the character performing your action of choice with animation frames

MAXIMUM BULK ORDER: one character with 3-6 complete sprite sheets (incl. basic walk/sprint set) for $19-43 OR two characters with basic walk/sprint sets for $21

add $3: make artstyle slightly more detailed, a la the terezi edit in the examples here - minor hair redraw & extra detail, shinier/colourful eyes with irises visible on blind or dead trolls, and optional eyebrows, visible ears, earrings, blush, and blood-tint skin for trolls. if editing a canon character and this is the only "paid" add-on selected, this add-on is free

FREE VARIANT ADD-ONS: actual flesh colours for humans, broken/missing horn, glasses on/off, blind/dead eyes, rainbow drinker, makeup on/off, piercings on/off, tattoo on/off, visible ears (to put the piercings on), outfit swap for any canonical outfit such as the eclectica dress (as-is or with simple palette swap and/or symbol change)

add $0.50: make canon character edit a bloodswap/speciesswap OR edit preexisting canon outfit to add minor extra details OR add simple colour-changing animation (for sprite^2 characters) OR make the godtier sprite dogtier (or any other animal ear/tail addition)

add $2: add alternate hairstyle/hat OR add wings to godtier sprite OR make grimdark or crockertier variant sprite OR add petstuck tail

add $5: add extra sprite with simple alternate outfit no more complex than the eclectica dress OR add one species/blood/kidswap sprite, robot variant, or trickster mode variant

$17: a VS splash screen trainer sprite as seen before battling gym leaders/e4/etc, as exemplified by our space cowboy shinya - available in gen 4 and 5 style

$10-$20: panel edit baybeeee. price range depends on edit complexity - the jane lalonde edit would be $10 since it's a simple edit of a canon character, the one directly below this text would be $20 since it's not only a fantroll with a complex design i also changed the base body type

$25: basic talksprite with simple 2-frame talking animation

add $2: get an extra expression

$25: basic still-image ⅔ body sprite

add $2: get an extra expression
