frequently asked

Here are common questions I get when working on commissions. Feel free to ask anything if ever they are not here!



I mostly issue commission requests on VGen, so the commission form here is for project-specific requests, commercial work, and long-term projects that require to be discussed over email.

general questions


  • 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!


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.


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.

  • Does your commercial use fee cover one use only? (for streams only, MVs only, etc.)
    Purchasing commercial use covers license for you to use your artwork for not only streams, but also for other projects for monetization or profit digitally such as: thumbnails, future video projects, etc.

project considerations & notes


  • Project inquiries may be declined sometimes due to various reasons. ie: extrenuating circumstance, health reasons, outside of skillset, etc.
    In these cases, there can either be discussion for negotiation of turnaround, budget, or alternatvely I may refer other artists who are more qualified and apt that you can choose to consider.
