Commission openings are announced through my Twitter !
During this time commissioners are welcome to place commission applications through my Artistree page for a spot in the queue until slots are filled.Commissions are NOT first come first serve!
They are selected based on the applications received. Commissioners are also allowed to submit multiple requests, however, if chosen, I will only be selecting one idea to draw.YOU MUST BE OVER 18 TO APPLY FOR A COMMISSION!
If I have reason to believe that you are not 18+, I reserve the right to refuse service.
I reserve the right to decline commissions at any given time without needing to provide a reason. Any threats or overall ill behavior will result in the cancellation of a commission and a possible ban from future commissions.

If you would like to improve your chances of being selected for a commission, please be sure to supply:

Selected applicants will be contacted within 48 hours (barring unforeseen events) after the queue has closed to start the commission process. Announcements will be made over Twitter to inform others that commission applications are now closed.

I, Takomishadow, as the artist, retain full copyright to all images unless otherwise specified through an official agreement (requiring signatures of both parties). I retain the rights to post commissioned images in my galleries, reproduce the images for sale online or at conventions, or otherwise use the image commercially in prints, digital art collections, books, etc.Rights to the original characters remain with their owners, where trademarked.As the client, you receive the rights to post the commissioned images anywhere you’d like for personal non-commercial non-profit purposes, as long as you credit me as the artist.Clients have the right to reprint images in limited quantities for personal use. This includes printing for home display, printing to use as a badge, or a small number of physical stickers (less than 10).Clients do not have the right to mass produce and distribute the art for free or for monetary value. (Ex: 10+ stickers, prints, business cards, etc.) without properly and prominently displaying appropriate credit on each item. If you wish to mass produce my artwork for free distribution you must first contact me and seek written permission.Clients do not have the right to grant permission to printers or manufacturers to mass produce (10+) physical reproductions of the art unless specified in an official document we have previously negotiated and signed. If you would like to pursue such printing, please contact me.Clients retain the right to edit artwork by cropping and resizing for personal use (ex. Icons, avatars, banners). Any other edits such as removal or watermarks/altercations are prohibited.Clients do not have the right to approve others to edit my art unless previously discussed with me.Clients do not have the right to working files of the commissioned artwork. I do not distribute working files to clients unless discussed otherwise.Clients do not have the right to use any part of the commissioned artwork for Non Fungible Tokens (NFTs) or AI generations.I as the artist will never take credit or claim copyright to the characters that I did not design, and when possible will credit the original creators.All standard commissioned art will be digitized; I do not physically ship out artwork for non-Discord Exclusive commissions. A high-quality file of the artwork will be sent to the commissioner's email provided with the original request.

As the artist, I retain the right to refuse any subject matter and content that I am not comfortable with. Below is a list of subjects and topics that I accept or will refuse if included in the submission info.

If you have any questions about these restrictions, or would like clarity on any particular subject I will not draw, please contact me.

I use Artistree to accept commission payments and work with clients on their commissions. I will send out an invoice through my Artistree page once we've worked out the details of your commission.Full payment up-front is required if you are chosen for a commission slot. I require invoice payment within 48 hours unless otherwise stated.Clients can pay for a commission with either a debit / credit card or a PayPal / Stripe account.

Included on the Invoice will be:

If you are chosen and cannot make the payment in the initial 48-hour period, please contact me and we can work out a payment period that will work for you. If you cannot make the payment by the second time around, you will be removed from the queue and the invoice will be canceled.I do not take split payments or do payment plans. If you have any questions about this, please contact me before submitting an application.ALL PRICES ARE IN USD.
I do not begin work until your payment has been received and processed.If you would like to leave a tip / donation after the commission is complete, you may send a gift payment through my Ko-fi or Artistree page; tips are not required, but are always appreciated!

If you have been selected for the queue and have paid your invoice, you will be able to find updated information about your commission on my Trello page.Updates to your commission (including sketching, inking, bkg / coloring, and finishing progress) will be made to the board as they are completed.

I will NOT accept commissions with deadlines as I am usually busy with work, school, projects, etc. that takes the most priority.Please allow anywhere from 1 day to 3 months for the completion of your commission. If I can’t finish it in a reasonable time, I will notify you and we can work something out.All commissions come with a Work in Progress. WIPs are sent out after initial sketches are complete to allow the commissioner to confirm that the art is correct before work is continued in your place.

Clients will receive five stages of WIP's during the commission process:

After you receive the WIP update, you may request edits to the art.
Minor edits (limb positioning, facial expression, coloring, etc.) will be limited to 3 free edits per WIP stage, as well as anything that I may have missed from the information you have provided.Any major edits (redrawing a large portion of the image or edits based on information not included in the initial application) will come with a small fee based on the time it will take to complete the edits.
This fee must be paid before edits are made!Please review each WIP carefully to assure client satisfaction. Once the client approves the WIP stage, I will NOT make further edits after progressing to the next stage. (Example: asking for changes to character poses after I complete the lineart).Any edits requested that fall under “style” rather than technical details may be refused. Please be aware that as an artist, my style shifts over time, and I may refuse requests to replicate an earlier “style” or technique.Once the commission is completed I will not go back and make further edits.I am NOT responsible if you forget to mention something you wanted in your commission.

If I have begun the commission process and you decide you would like to stop, please let me know as soon as possible. I understand that issues can arise suddenly and am more than happy to work with you if such an event occurs.If I have not begun work on your commission, a full refund will be made.
If I have started the commission, you will receive a partial refund based on the work that has already been completed.If you cancel your commission and receive a full refund, you will have to wait until another commission opening to apply again and will be subject to the same rules as all commissioners in terms of selection.If severe life circumstances arise that limit your ability to continue with a commission, please contact me and I’ll do my best to negotiate a solution that will work best for all parties involved.Refunds will be delivered within 48 hours of their request.Refunds will NOT be considered once the commission has been completed.
