The followings are outdated rules.

A.K.A. hold the request until new rules are posted.


The whole reason of these RULES is for artists, not for random character expressions nor creation. Make sure you let me know that you are also an artist.



I don't accept commission. Just requests. But there're rules for it.

Before we jump into rules, here're somethings that I want to tell first.

A. I don't do simple YCH stuff.

This is the biggest point. Background, atmosphere, character pose, etc... Every request results will be different.

So, "Draw same(similar) as this" ain't gonna work for me. However, you can ask certain pose or atmosphere that may or may not included on the result.

B. I will not tell you it's done as sketch or colored.

Don't worry. You will be notified when I post the result.

You may ask the progress update with a little bit of modification but that'll demotivate me.

C. Use Chat or Notes to ask.

There're too many arts and posts on my page. I cannot track every comments of them. At least, chat and notes have their own system. So please use them.

D. No private nor exclusive.

Doing art is purely my hobby. I do not want it to turn into 2nd job. So, my arts including your requests won't be privatized nor exclusive to someone. (You may ask me to hide your name.)

E. I check your gallery and favorites.

It's not security check or anything but I want to make sure that your request is worth my effort.

F. It will take time.

I am not a robot nor AI, obviously. Please be patient.

(Also, I will not use any AI to enhance the result.)

Now, the rules.

Previously, they were not mandatory but now they are. (Blame who abused.)

1. The result is not yours.

You cannot use the request as your own work nor commercialize it. Also, claim it as your is prohibited.

Only personal non-commercial project purpose allowed. Please leave the credit about me.

2. Your OCs or characters with owner's permission only.

A lot of people asked me about non-OCs and I am not interested, yet.

Fan-art is also out of my list. I understand you like it but that doesn't mean I'm also interested in.

3. No mass produced characters.

Using bases or stocks to practice and assist your art style is completely fine.

Show me that your children are loved by you.

And also, some people made effortless re-skinned OCs to ask request. Please don't do that.

4. No repetitive requests.

When I see the exactly same requests from different artists in your gallery and favorite, I feel very disrespectful. Comparing one to another must be applied to your art skills, not others' artworks.

5. No request scavengers.

I noticed that there're request scavengers who are just asking requests without any own made arts. I do not accept anything from those kind of people. Make sure you can provide your own arts or reference sheets when you ask.

6. No hardcore sexual theme.

Some of themes are prohibited. I cannot list which themes are allowed nor banned. My knowledge is limited. (Strict NSFW artworks will be edited when it's posted.)

Prohibited theme: Focus on certain body part, Object fetish (such as Balloon, Diaper and more).

7. No fighting topics.

More than two characters are having disagreement is fine. But physical, mental fighting (or harming) are where I draw the line(Pun intended). Even it's sports.

That's all. Too much things to know before ask, I understand.

But trust me. These are for our relationship.

So no company-owned characters?
