• What is a commission?

When an artist creates a custom piece of art for a client, that is a commission. The work available for commission on this website are illustrations drawn by StalkingP.

​

​

• Would you draw X setting for me?

These are my criteria:

ACCEPTED
✔️ Female & male characters 
✔️ Slightly suggestive content (no exposed nipples or genitalia; ask if unsure)

✔️ Partial armor and simple weaponry
✔️ Kemonomimi (animal ears + tail)

✔️ Small animals/creatures (cats, dogs, birds, and other small creatures) as long as they aren't the only focus on the commission
✔️ Mild fetishes, to my discretion (accepted examples: tickling, foot fetish, mild bondage, food play, gore). There may be an extra cost for this.

NOT ACCEPTED
❌ Very buff/large build characters

I reserve the right to decline your request should it be against my comfort, moral, and spiritual values.
Don not hesitate to ask if you are unsure.

 

 

 

• What are the Reservation List and the Waiting List?

When a client reserves a commission in advance, they are put on the Reservation List. 

A minimum of 20% of the agreed price is required upfront in order to reserve a slot and be placed on the Reservation List. This amount may increase or decrease if the nature of the request changes when the slot is reached (I reserve the right to cancel the request if the contents change). There is one regular slot every 3 months, reservations for a given slot open 3 slots in advance. 

The agreed price is kept as long as the client pays the remainder of the balance within 30 days of reaching their slot. After 30 days, their commission may be canceled and refunded. If the commission is postponed, any changes on the commissions price list will apply. 
Should the client request to postpone the slot, any price increase in commission listings will apply. Please note you cannot request your commission to qualify for any sales/discounts to be applied to your arranged price if they were announced after your slot was reserved.

​

If all the next 3 slots are taken, or if a client is interested in a specific slot further ahead in time, they are placed on the Waiting List. Clients on the waiting list are notified whenever a slot opens for reservation, in the order that they entered the waiting list. If a client doesn't reply within 48 hours of contact, the next person on the waiting list will be notified. 

Refer to the next point for additional/priority slot reservations.

​

​

What are overlap/priority slots?

Clients may request an additional slot to be opened on the same slot as an existing reservation for an additional fee. This fee starts at 50%, but may go as high as 100% or more of the regular pricing or more depending on my schedule. These overlap slots usually have priority over the original reservation on that slot, meaning the overlap/priority work may be finished earlier than the previously existing reservation. The existance of an active priority slot does not cancel out the original reservation, it just has priority over it. There is a chance that my schedule is too busy to take a priority slot, even at a mark-up. 

​

​

​

• How much of the total do I have to pay for you to start working/finish my commission?

A minimum of 20% is required to be placed on the Reservation List.
100% of the payment is required to start working.

​
 

• Which payment methods do you accept?

As of now I accept the following:
Paypal (no extra fees)

Stripe (credit cards, no extra fees)
Japan only: Japanese yen cash at events (within a month of reserving) or bank transfer (MUFG)

​
 

• How involved can I be on the commission process/can I request changes?

The process varies depending on the type of commission. I start working provided the client has paid at least 100% of the agreed price, making check-ups at the following points:

1 - Draft: a rudimentary sketch is sent to the client to confirm the overall direction of the artwork. Further drafts can be sent upon request.

2 - Rough sketch: a second, more defined round of the sketch stage. Big changes are to be done in this stage.
3 - Final sketch: a polished version of the sketch is sent. Any final details on the posing, expression, etc should be done at this point. 
4 - Lineart & base colors: the commission has to be paid in full to proceed to this stage. Small/detail changes are allowed, to a degree.
5 - Final details: the final version of the commission is sent. Only minute details can be modified at this stage.

There is no extra charge as long as there is no excessive amount of "big changes", particularly after the sketch stages. Small/detail changes are free as long as they aren't abused.
For traditional commissions: There are more limitations to traditional artwork, so please be sure to make all big changes during the draft sketching phase, before I move on to the final medium. 

​

• BIG CHANGES: Changing the pose, outfit, big elements in the composition/background, etc.

• SMALL/DETAIL CHANGES: Modifying colors hues, small tweaks, etc.

If the change is a correction rather than a modification, it will always be free (example: I forgot to add a beauty mark, a tail, or an important accessory, provided it was mentioned in the request or present in the reference).
Abuse/excessive changes of any nature may result in an extra fee.

​​

​

• How big will my commission be?

All commissions have a size estimation in the description. For digital commissions, the price will be increased if the client requests a bigger canvas than the standard (recommended for images featuring 4 or more characters).

I can work with a specific canvas size/proportion if required, just let me know in advance. 

Custom/unlisted sizes for traditional commissions can be arranged, contact me if interested.

​

​

• How long will it take to finish my commission?

Most commissions are completed within the 3 months of the slot (90 days). The client will be notified should I determine it will take longer than the arranged deadline.
Please note that those 90 days do not include the response time from the client, should feedback be necessary - if the client takes too long to reply between check-ups, the final delivery may be delayed further.

Fixed/strict deadlines are also available,whether or not this adds an extra costs depends on the time alloted and the amount of work I would have to displace to accomodate the request. 

​​

​

• Can you finish my commission by X date?

Please specify whether you are working on a deadline at the moment you make your request. That there may be a fee (starting at 20%+) if it is too tight a deadline, or if it requires me to give your commission priority over existing projects (see "What are overlap/priority slots?" section above).
 

​

 

• Can I remain private/anonymous?

Yes. Remaining as an anonymous commissioner is a free option (please specify this when making your request).

Having your commissioned artwork be unavailable in high resolution (50% of original size) for third parties/resale has a 25% surcharge. This only applies to personal use work; Commercial use commissions are not made available in high resolution to any party besides the client.
Full resolution (100%) is usually only available for the client, but may be available to third parties provided the client's authorization. Rest assured the full size of your commissioned work will not be resold/redistributed to third parties without your explicit authorization.

​

If you want your request to be completely private (not posted or shared in any resolution to any of my social media) there is a 50% surcharge (25% for commercial use work).

Requesting your commission to not be made public on my social media until a certain date (for any reason) has no extra charge; let me know at the time you make your request so I can comply.

​

 

• Can I request art for commercial use?

Yes. All prices depicted on this website are for personal use commissions. If you are going to be using your art commercially, let me know in advance so that we can set the royalties. 
The surcharge starts at +100% of the commission price for small projects. Royalty fees (revenue percentages/revenue payment in advance) can be discussed for larger scale projects. Each request is different; please contact me for further details.

Commercial use work is not sold or made available to any third parties at a high resolution. Unless otherwise requested, it will be posted in low resolution on my social media. The sharing/posting on my socials can be delayed if requested (let me know at the time you make your request so I can comply). 
 

​

 

• What is the difference between personal and commercial use?

Prices depicted on this website are for personal use only. That means you can do whatever you want with your commission as long as it does not make any revenue. 
Some examples of personal use:
* Using the artwork as profile pictures/banners for your personal social media (includes not monetized/small Youtube/Twitch accounts, and similar). 
* Printing posters, badges or the like for your personal use or as gifts. 
* Sharing and reposting the work you purchased in your social media (always with credit, please)

Commercial use means that one way or the other, the artwork commissioned provides revenue. 
Some examples of commercial use:
* Advertisement: this includes but is not limited to profile pictures, banners and the such for businesses or professional accounts. This includes monetizable Youtube accounts and other similar platforms.
* Reselling and/or distribution of the artwork, either in exchange for money or other goods/services
* Including it in merchandise, books, etc.

I reserve the right to take legal action should my artwork be used commercially without my consent.

​

​

• Do you draw original characters/fanart?

I can work with any type of character within my criteria at no extra charge as long as a visual reference is provided. Some fanart characters may not be available due to strict licensing laws (Example: Disney).
 

​

​

• Can you draw without a visual reference?

Character design costs are a case-by-case basis. Contact me at stalkingpartwork@gmail.com for a free consultation.
 

​

​

• Can I cancel/get a refund?

If you are just on the Waiting List, you may request to be removed at any given time without consequence.

If you paid to reserve a slot and I have yet to start working on your request, you get 100% of what you paid back. Be mindful that repeated cancellations may prevent you from reserving slots.
If you paid in full and I have just started working on your request, only 50% will be refundable.
There are no refunds once the lineart stage has begun.

Sketch commissions (both digital and traditional) are non-refundable once I begin working.

I reserve the right to cancel your commission request under unforseen cirumstances, following the same refund patterns as a client cancellation. 

Repeated cancellations may result in black-listing. The client will be warned before this sort of action is taken.
