★ about me ★

I am a student, consumer of media, artist of many mediums by trade and laughing stock by birth. I have been all of these things for most of my life and don't intend on ceasing being any of them anytime soon (aside from being a student, however college plans are undecided).I make my current interests my entire personality and as a result draw them constantly and make the world's strangest crossovers imaginable. I am funny, or at least I hope so.I listen to terrible music, watch terrible shows and movies, and play terrible games.
Such terrible pieces of media are listed below.

communication

  • Please contact me via my email or through Discord.

  • To create your commission, I need adequate references, such as poses and design of your character/inspirations for design. Don't let the perceived quality of your references discourage you; send me what you've got and I'll work it out from there!

  • I will be sending you work in progress shots of your commission as I go; let me know as soon as possible if you'd like something changed.

payment

  • All prices are in USD. I accept payment through Stripe. As soon as the price of your commission is negotiated, I will send you an invoice.

  • Depending on the complexity of your commission, I may have to increase the price.

  • Prices are character dependent, and having more than one character in a piece will increase the price (usually about 1/2 × original price per additional character). Having multiple drawings of the same character has the same rules apply.

  • Some body crops may not be exactly compliant with the set prices (3/4th body, etc.) Prices of these will be halfway between the offered crops.

  • If you request major changes in the later stages of your commission, I may have to add additional fees to the commission price.

  • Prices are not constant and are subject to change at any time, including at time of discussion. They also vary depending on the style used for the drawing (messier, more sketchy lineart will cost less, cleaner lineart will cost more, etc.)

turnaround

  • Turnaround time for commissions is 1-2 weeks.

  • Due to other circumstances like work, school, and my mental health, this time may be subject to change.

  • If turnaround time is expected to be longer than normal, I will give you advanced notice and keep you updated on the situation.

terms of service

By commissioning me for a piece, you agree that:

  • My will and won’t draw lists seen above are not all-encompassing. If you ask for something not included on either of these lists, I can either accommodate, adapt, or decline the request, depending on what it is, if I can fulfil it, and if I am comfortable with doing so.

  • You will stay in contact with me via email throughout the entire process of your commission, giving me honest feedback on the piece and requesting changes as soon as possible, if necessary.

  • You will provide adequate references for what I am drawing for you.

  • You will pay the entire price of your commission after discussion of the price at your earliest convenience. No work will be completed until payment is given.

  • Payment cannot be refunded after work has been started on your commission.

  • You are receiving a one-time custom digital commission that you may use in any way you wish aside from claiming it as your own, tracing it, copying it, using it for anything AI related, or using it for commercial purposes. In addition, when using my work, proper credit must be given with each use of your piece.

  • My artwork is my intellectual property, regardless of who it is being made for. Your completed product will have my signature on it, and this will by no means be removed by either you or myself. I, as the artist, have the right to use this product for display purposes (social media, portfolios, etc.)

  • You will not drastically alter or edit the piece after its completion.

  • I have the right to deny or withdraw a commission at any time, regardless of reason. You are not entitled know why the commission has been refused if I am not comfortable with continuing communication. You will be refunded if payment is given before this occurs.

★ a spectacle of electricity and sound ★

A Spectacle of Electricity and Sound, also known as ASOEAS, is an absolute nightmare of a project created by one man toiling away at his silly little devices (me!) It began life as a Kirby gijinka AU somewhere around 2018 and shifted to be an entirely original project in 2020. It has since grown to a previously unimaginable size, aiming to weave a myriad of characters, stories, genres and media types together to tell one grand story.It is currently a massive work in progress.
