FAQ

general questions————————————————————————————

for professional inquiries, please contact me through email as listed on my carrd.

please also read through my terms of service.

can you tag something for me?

of course! please send me an ask and I will try my best to tag it for you from now on (depending on the size of my queue however i might not be able to tag posts that are already in there but I will try my best there too)

can you draw [ character name ]?

sorry, I don’t take requests.

I’ll consider it if it’s a character I like or a character I’ve been meaning to practice, but otherwise these kinds of asks will get deleted (especially if it sounds like you’re just cadging for free art)

will you signal boost a post of mine?

Yes, but at my discretion.

I will not boost content if it is something that I do not want to support or expose my followers to (e.g. explicit porn, objectification, misogyny, terfs; if you offer nsfw commission options you’re okay as long as your sample is sfw!)

re: art————————————————————————————

what program / brushes / tablet do you use?

I use photoshop CS6, and all my brushes are put together from default sets with the exception of the stumpy pencil and the pencil/palnk brush. my canvases start generally at 1000x1000px at 300dpi, and I expand as necessary for composition.

these are my brush settings and presets!

I am currently using an XP-Pen Deco 01.

when will your commissions open?

I always make / reblog a commission post whenever the slots open up again; unfortunately there’s no set schedule

can you tell me how to make companion cards / tutorials and references in general?

I don’t have my own tutorials, but here’s a general tip on getting started on cards, and i have a tutorials and reference tags but they’re not always art-related

re: usage————————————————————————————

this goes without saying but please do not lift my designs for your characters. do not take my art and use it as your oc or player character.

I’m really glad if you want to use my designs as inspiration material! but please do not use them as is for your own purposes, thank you.

also I hope it goes without saying that you should not distribute my work.

can I use your art for sidebar/icon/bg/other online purposes?

you can use my art (excepting commission art unless it’s yours) for whatever purposes as long as you credit visibly/accessibly! by which I mean credit somewhere visible and accessible, e.g. on the about page, description, etc.; if someone wants to find out where the art came from, they should be able to.

please do not repost my work.
the one exception is if I’m not on the site you want to repost on (e.g. weibo) or does not have a sharing option like reblogs/retweets (e.g. instagram), but please run it by me first for permission! 

can I use your art for mugs/shirts/buttons/other physical purposes?

you can print my work on paper for personal purposes (e.g. wall art, stickers, bookmarks) as long as you do not distribute or claim as yours (as it should go without saying). If you want to print pieces for your own use, that’s okay!

this goes especially for pieces that look like advertisements, tickets or propaganda posters, etc.; i’ve gotten a couple of asks about distributing them as part of cosplay. please don’t! they are usually merchandise I am selling myself at cons

can I tag your art as me/kin/[ my oc names ]/etc.?

generally speaking, yes, especially fanart or neutral things like animals or plants or generic figures / relatable miscellaneous things. Otherwise:

• if the post is tagged as one of my characters, please do not tag as #kin, #me or #your oc name
• if the post is tagged as one of my characters but features something general (e.g. dad jokes) or a common/lore-compliant aspect among a large group of characters (e.g. lavellans planting memorial gardens), you can tag as #me or #your oc name
  
• my characters are my own, so please don’t tag them as yours or with your name.

can I cosplay design x of character y in piece z?

yes you can!! i’d love to see pictures

re: stores————————————————————————————

do you have an online shop?

i have a society6 and inprnt!

why is your store open so rarely / why is it only open for 2-3 days?

opening and managing a store is a lot of work for one person, especially if preorders are involved, and it’s not something that I can sustain for long periods of time. up until recently, especially, I had a part time job as well as university to deal with and I just did not have the time to fill and package orders by myself.

depending on how things go in the future, I’m hoping to be able to keep the store open longer (if not permanently) with the 2-3 day window being limited to preorders, and including more products with original designs

where do you get your charms/pins/etc. printed?

• charms are done through vograce
  some alternatives are ink it labs, and zap creatives; shop around for the quality and minimum order quantity per design that fits you! you’ll have to do some research
• tapes are done through panda-tape

when and how do you ship your goods?

all products are shipped through chitchats in a bubble mailer and may be shipped anywhere between 1-10 days after your order

my charms have weird translucent stuff all over one side!

that is a protective backing and it is meant to be peeled! I try to peel all charms before shipping but it’s possible I may miss a few.

please be careful as sometimes the manufacturing process does something to the backing that makes it a hard and clear but dirty-looking acrylic layer, which can be sharp.

my goods arrived bent/broken/damaged!

please let me know if this happens and I will do my best to make it up to you!
