frequently asked questions
Here are common questions I get when working on commissions. Feel free to ask anything if ever they are not here!
What program/tool/accessories do you use?
Wacom Intuos Pro M (2017), Samsung galaxy Tab S8+, Clip Studio Paint Pro.How does your waitlist work?
My waitlist serves as a list for those who want to reserve in working with me after my current batch. Some clients also get waitlisted, if all my slots are taken.I haven’t received any updates for more than 1 week (7 days), what do I do?
If ever I have not sent you any updates after the 7 day period, PLEASE reach out to me via VGen DMs, email, Discord, or Twitter so I can follow up with your commission update!Can I be moved to waitlist if I didn’t get a slot on time?
Sure! Feel free to let me know and I’ll move you onto waitlist if you’re still interested to wait for me to finish the current batch.Can I request for files, layers, etc.. for my illustration?
Yes, you may request it!
Can i use your art for..
Icons and wallpapers (non-profit): Yes you may
Repost: Ask for authorization. Provide credit if granted.
Merch/profit: Please inquire first.
Please do not do that AI training or NFT use: Strictly, no.
If it’s a commissioned piece, only the client can use their respective pieces.
commission-specific questions
How do I know if my commission slot is confirmed?
Commission slots are only confirmed once payment is settled (whether in half payments, tier payments, or full payment). Slots with the ‘Queue’ label on them are unconfirmed, and must be confirmed within 48 hours from the proposal notice.What if my commission is an NDA project?
If your commission is an NDA project, your commission will be privately updated through communications instead.
Alternatively, the progress can be shown as well thru VGen work queue, but filtered anonymously with no name present. (Only for progress tracking purposes)
However, please note that not all illustration files may have properly cut layers for default illustrations. At most, I can provide general separate layers so future editors/animators can cut the base parts into smaller details without worry.
