Commission Guide!

Here is how to commission me.

Step 1: Carefully read the rules, style guide and my terms of service.

You can find my rules here: Art Rules. You can find my terms of service: Terms of Service

.

Step 2, Contact

First you will need to do one of two of my prefered methods of contact.

Email: stargal@stinky.baby

Telegram: @CatboyDale

At this time, I will only be using these two forms of communication. This helps keep things organized. Use good practices while contacting me, here is an example on how to set up a commission:

A proper telegram chat.

Please be timely in your responses (This doesn't mean you have to respond instantly, we both have lives!). However, failure to communicate in a timely manor may cause you to get skipped! If you have switched telegram accounts or have lost access to an email, please recontact me. Otherwise you will be lost.

When sending refrences or details, be as descriptive as possible. Please make sure to inform me about the species of your commission as well, as many canines may look similar in other art styles if they are not clearly labled. The use of mood boards is also highly encouraged, here is an example of a mood board:

You can make those mood boards yourself, or, feel free to send multiple images if you can't put it together.

Help! I need help making a character!

This is typically not a problem. I ask that you do your absolute best in describing the type of character you are looking for. We will go through this in steps. It is imparitive that during each step you are confident in what you want, so that time isn't wasted redrawing things.

Step 3, Agree and Wait.

Typically, you will be told the estimated price, how long this could take, and where you sit in line. Note that the price is an estimate and does not reflect the final price. This is typically not an issue, but prices can change based off character complexity change, or additions. When your turn arrives, you will be contacted again. I will always respond something along the lines of this:

Hello, I have come to tell you that it is your turn. If you would still like your slot, please let me know and I can get started on your piece. There are no penalties for canceling your spot in line.

That is right. If you need to leave your spot in line for any reason, it is A-Okay to do so. Please do not abuse this, as my slots can be limited and it is unfair to others who are wanting the slots themselves. I understand that things can come up in life and things can't always be perfectly timed for the both of us.

Step 4, WIP

Eventually you will get a work in progress. Understand that it is a work in progress and not the final piece. Occassionally, if your piece is simple enough, it may be fully completed without a work in progress, this is normally pretty rare. You will need to confirm if you approve of the progress. Please let me know of any errors in your character's design, the sooner the better! Here is an example WIP:

Step 5, Final Piece and Payment

Once you get your final piece you will be given a compressed version of the piece, as well as links to my payment options. Currently, my only two options for payment are paypal and venmo. Once the payment has been recieved you will get your full piece. As of right now, I am not accepting payment plans. However, I can be flexable if you ask nicely. I have not had any issues with anyone as of yet on payment, please do not be the first, it won't be pretty. Tips are always appreciated.

Troubleshooting

I can't pay quite yet, can I delay my commission?

A: Yes. You most certainly can. I can be flexable. When your turn arrives, you can choose to also delay. Please don't abuse this.

I want my art piece to remain anonymous.

A: This can be done. Make sure to remind me before, and after the piece is complete. I always ask you anyways, "Is it okay for me to post this on my social medias?", which is a safegaurd for this. You can remind me once again there.

I have strange anatomy requests and I am unsure if it follows your style guide.

A: You are always welcome to ask. It is important to note that hooved creatures will get hooves and that is not negotiable.

May I commission artwork with your characters?

A: The ultimate answer is "probably not". If you don't know me in person, and we haven't hung out, then its probably not gonna happen.

Why does it take so long to get the Artwork?

A: The mean straight forward answer is: "I have a life." I ask that you respect that. This is one of the reasons you do not pay me til completion. My goal is to one day get to the point where I am doing art full time. Once I get to that point, my speed will greatly increase for art. But until then, part of my life is consumed by my company, and the bakery in which I work at part time. As of right now, I complete anywhere between 1 to 2 pieces of artwork a week. If you are 16th in line, expect that your art will come anywhere between 2-4 months. I understand how unfortunte that may be to hear, but unless I can find a way to duplicate myself, I can only do one art piece at a time.

Can I request an art piece for a specific date

A: Unfortunetly no. Your best bet is to contact me as quickly as possible.

10$ for messy alt? What about pacifier alts? Or Alts with text vs. non-text? Where does the 10$ apply? Why are wet alts free?

A: Any alts involving redrawing of anything will cost 10$. That means if you need a pacifier, that's 10$ With the way I do my layers, all diapers designs are done on their own layers. Since wet diapers are extremely easy to alter, and will automatically fade or color designs with wonderful yellow: it doesn't cost anything. However, if you desire drooping diapers, which happens with really soggy diapers or diapers that have been soiled in, it will require 10$ for the alt. Since all it takes is for me to turn off text, it doesn't cost anything for a text-less alt. I am also willing to create blushing, and non-blushing arts for free as well. I can turn on blush for messy or wet diapers for example, please make sure to ask! I can also add stink clouds as well if desired. Please mention that when requesting messy art. Furthermore, if you only require a picture with messy art and do not need a clean version, it doesn't cost extra since there is no alt. It's only when you require an alt does it cost extra. It just takes a little more time, typically over my layers that I've already done, so it's a simple edit. If it is a simple edit, I will let you know and it will be free.

Can I take your artwork and put it on a T-shirt and sell it?

A: By my terms of service, the art you have purchased from me is yours. This means you are completely allowed to put it on a sticker or T-Shirt and sell it. The only thing you are not allowed to do is tell people you made the artwork. Once the artwork is purchased, you are the complete owner of the piece with the only stipulations being that you attribute the original artist (me), and that all work that derives from the original follows the same license.

Do you draw humans and/or humanoids?

A: Yes.

Do you draw Mecha/Macro/Transformation/etc... I haven't seen you draw X before...

A: Just because I haven't drawn it, doesn't mean I'm not willing to draw it. If it proves to be too complicated, I will let you know. You may be suprised as to what I might be able to draw. And I am always hungry to learn new fetishes and sub-genres of art. Your best bet to help me understand things I am unfamiliar with, is to show me your favorite examples.

Can I get your art tattooed on my body?

A: Wouldn't be the first time... or even the second time.

What's with the sandwhich price?

A: No one has been brave enough to ask for one.

Is a hotdog a sandwhich?

A: Is a deep dish pizza a pizza or a casserole? When we crave pizza, do we crave deep dish? And when we crave deep dish, do we crave normal pizza? When we desire a sandwhich, do we first think of a hotdog? No, no we don't. We understand that within our hearts, a hotdog and a sandwhich and even a hamburger are very different things. Maybe one day, food will be classified like the animal kingdom is, with order and species and all of the sub-divisions. But I think it is safe to say, a hamburger and hotdog cannot produce offspring.

Why don't you make telegram sticker packs? Can I put your art in a sticker pack?

A: I don't do sticker packs because each sticker takes about the same time as a piece of art. If you do get art from me, you are permitted to put the art in a sticker pack. If you need me to remove the background and add a border around your character, let me know. I can also give you 512x512 sized images if you cannot figure out how to do that.

I want to roll my barter skill against you so I can get a cheaper price.

A: Nice try. It auto fails. Why? Because my prices are set. Don't even think about it. Don't bring up that my prices were cheaper at a previous time, you are only going to annoy me. Money talk is actually one of the most annoying things to me. I try to be as professional as I can about it. Don't make this difficult. Accept the prices as they are, please.

I am completely unhappy with the work.

A: One of the benifits of paying once it is complete, is that I owe you nothing if it isn't to your liking. Once you pay for it however, you are agreeing that the piece is to your liking. Once payments have been made, it is considered FINAL. There are no refunds at that point. You won't be allowed to keep or use the art if it is unpaid for, nor any of the works in progress. I have not had a single problem with this so far. Please don't be the person that abuses this system as it works well for everyone and gives everyone - including myself - piece of mind.

You are a poo poo pee pee stinker head and I don't like you.

A: I have a litteral dragon for a body guard. You will be destroyed.
