FAQ about reference sheets 
What questions should I be prepared for?I always try to ask for anything that might not be obvious to me. Like: Name, species, pronouns, body type (weight distribution and musculature), and anything else I may be unsure of. If you want me to know something, just let me know, you can be as specific as you'd like. If I miss it, it will get fixed! That's what work in progresses are for!
Can you redesign a character I already have?Yes! Might be a small charge for it, but depending on how much you want me to change I can do it!
What do I need for a custom design?I can work with as much information as you would like to give me. I can work with as something as simple as species and colors, or something as specific as mood boards, songs, patterns and so on!

Looking for something specific? Just ask! I can and have worked on many other projects aside from these including stream layouts, PNGTubers, and patterned backgrounds.

Terms of Service

By commissioning me I assume you are aware of these terms. Breaking TOS will result in a blacklist from future commissions and Ko-Fi rewards. If you have a question or need clarification, all you need to do is ask.

Transactions

  • To commission me you must be over the age of 15.

  • I only accept payments "now" or after I have shown you a sketch. I will complete your piece once, and only when you have paid in full.

  • If you would like to split a payment please let me know and we can figure out what will work, however I will not finish your piece until you have paid in full.

  • I can give full refunds if I have not started on your piece or if I have not finished the linework. I can negotiate something with you for partial refunds, but when your piece is completed and I send you a drive file I will not do refunds. Please be sure you have funds BEFORE commissioning me. And please be sure you like my art style BEFORE commissioning me. I strive to make sure your art looks how you want, but please communicate.

  • I will never accept crypto/blockchain transactions.

Use of my work

  • This applies to anyone, if you use my artwork, please credit me.

  • Do not use my artwork unless you have commissioned it or have received permission from me or the person who commissioned the art from me.

  • If you commissioned something from me feel free to use it as your own profile picture, wallpaper, banner, or you can even print it yourself for personal use as a badge, sticker or so on. Key word is: Personal use. Would be cool to see if you do print my art, so please show me if you can!

  • My art is NEVER to be used as part of developing AI generative images.

  • My art is NEVER to be used for blockchain based transactions.

  • If you plan to use my art commercially, let me know so I can ensure the files are properly formatted and sized. I may also request a conversation about an upcharge if you will be making money using my work.

"Will you draw...?"

SubjectWhy?/Notes
Any species of animalYes!Feel free to ask for examples of specific species. I love variety and learning how to draw new things. There is no creature, to my knowledge, that I will refuse to draw.
Humans or humanoidsYes!I have started drawing a ton of fantasy humanoids and some humans! Ask for examples if you need them!
Mechanical Parts/BodiesYES!As someone who loves drawing insects and armor, I absolutely love drawing mechanical characters if given the chance.
Bright, complex designsYES!Do ask first if I am comfortable enough. I want to do your design justice.
Scars, fat, body hair, and any way a body could look?YES!If you want me to represent you. I will. Do not be afraid to ask "hey can you make sure to include "___". Or if I sketch your piece and you want me to change anything regarding the body, do not be afraid to correct me. I will do it. No questions asked.
Gore/HorrorVery likely.Just ask if you're interested. I enjoy drawing blood and gore if given the chance. There are some cases where I will decline, but that is either due to skill level or it truly is "too far" for me.
NuditySure!Good chance to practice anatomy. Nudity is something you may see in an art museum. *Limited examples.
Non-sexual KinkSure.There are some cool character designs out there I would love to draw that fit the description of non-sexual kink. There are a few cases where I will say no, but just ask.
Explicit Sexual ContentNo.I am just not currently interested in drawing explicit content. There are plenty of other people who are, go support them because that's their jam! It just isn't mine.
Not mentioned? Just ask.--I am open to drawing a variety of things, but if you are curious if I am willing to do something, just ask! I cannot think of every possibility sadly.

Oli's Commission Guide

How commissioning me works and what to be prepared for! If this is your first time commissioning someone, don't worry, we've all been there. Don't be afraid to ask questions if you have them.

General Process

  • Before sending me a DM via Discord (Preferred), BlueSky or Tumblr. Make sure you know what you want and consider if you have the funds to spare. Take care of yourself first.

  • Now, when you send a DM, make sure you say more than just "hi". It helps a lot to specify that you are interested in a commission, and what type. For example a good first message could be: "Hello, I would like to commission you for a headshot, are slots available?"

  • I will then respond, likely yes, if my bio says commissions are open... and ask for any other information which will help me come up with a total for price. Sometimes it is exactly what is on my price sheet, sometimes there can be some calculation to do.

  • After I give you a total, I will make sure you are okay with it. Then I will ask if you when you would like to pay, "now" or "after I show you a sketch." Either is fine.

  • From there, I will ask what platform you would like your invoice sent through: PayPal or Square. Invoice, regardless the platform, will be sent to your email.

  • Once your total has been paid, I will get to work! A sketch will be shown to you regardless and this will be the time to correct me on anything you would like changed. *Sometimes I will show additional works in progresses if the design is complex, or if I am working on a reference sheet.

  • After you have confirmed the sketch as good to go, I will get to work on your art when I get the chance. You can check my Trello queue to see what other projects I am working on... or you can ask!

  • After I finish your work I will send you a Google Drive link which will give you the file in full quality. Make sure everything looks good, and that there are no mistakes. Sometimes I make stray lines or forget a part of the design. I will fix it.

  • Otherwise, once things are fixed, you're good to go. Enjoy!

Again, if you have additional questions, just ask! No shame in asking.
