So you're interested in getting a custom order made? Awesome! Here's some general information on each of the types of things I work with.
Basic Information
Custom orders are available both within shop listings, or you're able to contact me directly if you're not sure what kind of link to use. You can email me at either [email protected] or hit me up via the studio's facebook page. If you're interested in a commission type that's not listed on the shop, invoices will be either sent through Paypal of Square, buyers choice unless making payment plans.
Payment plans are available for custom orders over $50, though all commissions require a non refundable 50% down-payment. The down-payment is both for cost of materials and at least part of the time to create the pieces. Payment plans are interest free, with no minimum payments due every 2 weeks. Items will not ship until payments are made in full. Missing two consecutive payments forfeits the item back into the shops inventory and extra payments will be refunded minus the original 50% down-payment. Commission items can be repurchased for the remaining half balance in full if payment/item was surrendered.
Subject Content Guidelines
Normally I would put this in with the painting section, however I feel like it needs to be a bit more upfront due to the rest of the mediums also branching out into this. Like most artists, I have subject matters that I'm willing and not willing to work with. While most of these are fairly broad, I feel like it's best to get the main subjects out of the way. Please Note: Hentai does not have extra charges, though I do like to be informed in advance rather than have it changed and sprung on me half way through working on a piece.
Things I'm Fully Willing to Work with:
- Original Characters {any age}
- fan art
- OTP's {One True Pairing}
- Furry/anthro art
- Artistic Nudity
- Mild Hentai/Eechi {as long as characters are 18+}
- Fantasy creatures/races
- Religious Iconography {Any}
Things that Might Need to be Discussed before purchases but not out of the realm of possible:
- Detailed Pet portraits
- Simple Mecha/Gundam type stuff
- Cars/motorcycles
- Super realistic pieces
Things that are a Hard NO:
- Hate/Discrimination pieces
- Complex Mecha/Gundam pieces {I'm not super familiar with drawing them and I'd hate to disappoint a super complex piece, though I'm not terrible at simple stuff}
- Lolli/Shouta hentai pieces
- Illegal subjects such as hard drug use
Please note: Under the hard no section with Lolli and Shouta hentai pieces, or underage characters in compromising positions in general, I 100% consider this to be child pornography and I don't care that it's only a drawing, child pornography is illegal and sick and it will result in a refund if you've already paid in advance and a perma ban from commission orders.
Dragons and other Sculptures Information
All of my sculptures are made from polymer clay, generally Sculpey, though occasionally Fimo. Each are hand sculpted and no two are ever alike, this includes the ones in the eggs.
Most small base dragons are between 2"-4" tall and range from $20-$35 depending on extra details, or more expensive extra components like custom gems, or specialty hand crafted dice. Bases for these are between 2"x2.5" rectangles, 2"x3" ovals, or 2.5" circles.
Most medium base dragons range anywhere between 3"-6" tall and their price range can go anywhere from $35-$85 depending on just how complicated of a design the dragon is, if there are multiple dragons on this size of a base, full dice sets or medic dragons, multiple gemstones, or smaller but more realistic dragons. These bases start at 4" rounds and squares, 3"x5" rectangles, or smaller hexagons.
Large base sculptures have two different base size ranges. Faeries, Mermaids, Elves, and other humanoid realistic sculptures automatically fall under this category of sculpture due to the heavy detail work involved as well as extra materials such as fabric and hair making. These sculptures are anywhere between 6"-12" tall and their prices can range from $60-300 depending on the sculpture type. Cute, brightly colored dragons like the dice dragons are on the lower end of this, and more realistic dragons or humanoids are between the middle to higher price range. Overall height, multiple figures, or specific types of gemstones influences this price as well. Base sizes range from 5" rounds, 5"x7" rectangles or ovals, or larger hexagons.
Any gem hoarder type dragon will come with a mix of natural, genuine gemstones~either focal pieces or extra small chips~as well as custom hand crafted polymer clay stones and coins.
Glass Engraving Information
All of my glassware is engraved by hand. I do not have a laser engraver for any of my work.
Every piece is engraved with a high speed dremel tool, rather than with chemicals, so they are both food and dishwasher safe for either altar or every day use. The fantastic thing about this particular method is that the designs show up beautifully even with dark or cold liquid behind it unlike if you were to use chemical engraving.
For commission pricing for regular glassware, the prices range anywhere from $5 for simple designs on shot glasses, and upwards of $50 for full complicated wrap around designs on the heavy beer steins. Most regular glassware prices will range from $15-25 though depending on the design and particular glass type, so if you're unsure, feel free to shoot me a message and I'd be happy to help you figure out a design within your budgets.
Painted glassware is cured in the oven by the paint manufactures instructions and it says that doing so this method they should be dishwasher safe, however I hand clean my personal ones just to be on the safe side. Commission pricing for these tends to add $5-8 on top of the normal price just because of the complicated nature of doing paint on glass.
Clay wrapped pieces are one of my favorite kind of pieces to do. These pieces are in fact food safe as the clay will never reach the lip of the glass {unless requested as just a decorative commission piece} and the clay is only on the outside of the glass. However, these pieces are NOT dishwasher safe and should only be cleaned with a gentle hand wash. Commission pricing for clay wrapped goblets starts at a base minimum of $35 and can go upwards of $50-80 per glass depending on just how complicated of a piece you're looking at and how much clay vs engraving, full wrapping around the piece, or even extra figures such as pieces like my Up From the Depths where there are individual tentacles reaching up the stem of the glass with full suckers.
Pyrography/Wood burning Information
Like my glassware, all of my pyrography pieces are burned by hand as I do not have a laser engraver for my work.
I use a Colewood SuperPro 2 with various pen types to burn all of my pieces. I've been doing wood burning for over 8 years now, and it is honestly one of my favorite and most relaxing things to do. I do save all of my designs, so you may see a piece come back into the shop, or if you remember a piece and it's sold out, feel free to message me and I can happily do it again, though due to the nature of how I burn my pieces, no two will ever quite turn out the same.
Sizes for my work range from as small as 3"x5" and currently up to 12"x24" though custom sizes and shapes can be requested and I can do my best to accommodate with what you're looking for.
My Commission Prices, as well as regular product prices, for wood burning are based on a per square inch basis, though some may include a bit of wiggle room in between on artist discretion. These prices are for general plaques, not for any custom or specialty item such as jewelry or pencil boxes or candle holders, though they can be used as a rough guideline.
Simple Line art only: $0.50 psi
Simple Line art with Minimal Shading: $0.75 psi
Simple Line art with Heavy Shading: $1.00 psi
Detailed Line art only: $0.75 psi
Detailed Line art with Minimal Shading: $1.00 psi
Detailed Line art with Heavy Shading: $1.25 psi
Add Staining to any piece: $0.10 psi additional charge
Add Painting to any piece: $0.12 psi additional charge
One other product I can use for my pyrography pieces are natural wood plaque bases. These are pieces that still have the bark attached as a border to the plaque. These will result in a $5-25 upcharge based on the size of the plaque in question just due to the actual cost difference in the wood plaques and unfortunately will only have a rough measurement, not a super accurate one.
Paintings and other Print Products
I have been painting for as long as I can remember. Currently I mostly work with watercolor when it comes to my print works, though I do also work with oils and acrylic on occasion. Most all of my commission prices for print works are fairly laid out within their respective types, however I can list them out here as well for those who don't want to go super searching. Prices are based per square inch between $0.50 to $2.25 depending on style, line art, full color, or with a background.
I have included both the per square inch pricing as well as a quick price check for roughly standard sizes for the types of commission in question.
For digital copy requests only: Pricing is still per square inch at a standard wallpaper size of 1366x768, which would be roughly at 5"x9" no matter which style chosen.

Each picture comes with two free Major edits (such as deciding after initial sketch choices you'd like a major part of a pose changed) and further edits will result in a $4 charge per extra edit. All character design commissions (line work or full shading) include up to five “props” at the commissioner's request. Examples would include a simple object for them to lean or sit against (such as a tree or chair), objects outside of clothing (such as weapons, books, gaming devices, ect), or a familiar (such as a pet like a cat or dog, or a smaller and less detailed fantasy creature such as a dragon or gryphon) with them. However-please note that a familiar would count as 2/5 props as it is essentially a secondary character.
Each piece receives an initial few very rough sketch poses for you to choose, unless you provide a pose reference you're specifically looking for. After that you'll get initial line sketches where you can make any major changes, and then after lines are finalized there are no more edits allowed, and they'll be transferred to color and sent out.
If working with your own original character, you will still own the rights to your character {obviously} but I will retain full credit for the completed art piece. Please let me know if you mind or not if it becomes a print possibly available within my shop or at conventions, though credit for the character would still rest with you. If you're not comfortable with me using your commission further that's alright and doesn't include extra charges. It will however, even if not added to the shop, be added to my portfolio as an example of past commissions.
HOWEVER
For ordering pieces that you intend to use for your own reproduction rights such as making your own prints/stickers/mugs/logos for streaming or business purposes, there IS a commercialization fee that can be discussed based on the type you're looking for.
