May not be open for commissions atm - please ask.

I do simple refs and comics, but these are relative to your order details.

Loyalty Discount!
If you are an active Patron on Patreon, you will receive a 10% off discount!
Notice: please remind me before I invoice you if I did not mention it in pricing. Once I accept payment, I will not refund the forgotten discount.

All commissions are at LEAST thigh/knee-up by default; please mention if you explicitly want full body.

Copy/paste this order form when commissioning me.

Your username//site I can find you on :

Your character's name :

Links to your reference(s) :

Level of render ( refer to ToS/comm sheet ) :

Content Rating ( choose from: SFW, erotic, nude, XXX/adult ) :

3-5 words describing your character's demeanour//emotion in the commission :

A few sentences telling me the pose/scenario, if applicable. :

Misc such as outfit or anything else that is important, if needed. :

Email for invoicing :

By commissioning me, you agree to and have read the below.

Violations will be blacklisted.

You are of 18+ years of age if you commission me.

No characters under 18 for NSFW pieces.

OCs preferred. Official characters will be discussed.

Any involvement with NFTs, Crypto, and AI is prohibited when working with me; ie, do not put my art on such marketplaces, nor promote them with my art; do not train or alter my art with any such software.

All body types/presentations welcome!

No text-only references. I WILL however, take a combination of SOME text plus PICTURE references to piece your character together with. Hairstyle, body type, etc. Palette. However, keep it to as few refs as possible. I do not want 8 refs. 3-4 is probably fine.

Humanoids are my forte, anthros and monster girls included, but ferals/creatures will be discussed beforehand.

I will do NSFW, same sex pairings and all of that are welcome.

I will not draw full suits of armour or mechs. However, feel free to ask if it's only parts/half-plate etc!

I do not do realistic people, nor will I draw a real person.

Some fetishes are fine. Others are not. Ask about one.

I will not send wips and I will not go back and tweak things afterwards, unless it is something in the reference or order I simply forgot (a marking, a stipulation.) So MAKE SURE you tell me everything, especially if it's missing or not obvious in the reference, or something people tend to forget or not notice.

I also will not be looking through your gallery etc, so don't send me a link to said gallery or expect me to go looking for the references myself. Pick out the refs you want the character to follow the most and link those.
A link to a gallery just with that character can be added on, but there needs to be at least one or two specific refs given. This includes people I've drawn before. Send your refs again. I don't have them saved and I'm not going to remember how the character looked.

I am present on other sites. I reserve the right to post your commission there. I can list you as anonymous if you don't want to be "seen," however, rather than linking to your profile. I if you do not want them posted, may be subject to a fee.

Hey, you gain rights to your finished commission too! Personal use only!
You may reupload to sites as long as you link back to my twitter (cluewoof) or FA (Clue) preferably.

I retain ownership of the art I create.

Even if you are the commissioner, you are not permitted to profit/include in published material unless you purchase the rights. See fees above. In this case, I still retain ownership- this fee grants profit and publishing use.

Do not edit, remix, or otherwise alter the image (unless you've purchased above usage rights.) For general commissions, you may crop a small section to use as, say, your avatar, or something, but nothing more.

I also have personal preferences and discomfort levels regarding some things. I am permitted to reject your commission for any reason.

Give me some creative freedom! If you like my stuff enough to commission me, trust me to make something you'll love; commission at your own risk.

Pricing and Order Stuff

Be aware that I use PYPL invoicing. All this means is upon ordering, I will ask for your email address and it will only be used for the invoice. Once the invoice is sent, you will need to go to that email and pay it. If it asks for a shipping address, put none if you can.
If you do not have that option, it's fine, but I won't be using it for anything, and everything I see is obviously confidential. PYPL will send it to me but I will not be personally storing or using it. PYPL will retain the email address in attempts to make future transactions easier, but I will always ask again and never save it or any information myself.

At SOME point you will receive an email from PYPL stating I have 'processed' your transaction in some way. Nothing has been mailed, it is not a new invoice, and it does NOT mean I have 'finished' your commission necessarily. It is an automated message sent from them when I am doing paperwork to avoid them thinking I have packages to send.

Do not order unless you are ready to pay near-immediately. If you do not pay the invoice within 24 hours, you may lose your slot and I may cancel the invoice.

As such, I do not do hold/reserves unless you speak to me about it. We may be able to work something out regarding when I expect your (full) payment.

I may accept US Amazon Gift Card codes unless otherwise stated at the time.

Complicated designs or situations will cost you more.

After paying, refunds will not be given unless something has happened to me and can no longer draw (and if I'm still alive) I will refund you. Do NOT commission me if you were tight on cash, or change your mind while waiting in the queue, nor if you decide you 'don't like' your product. I will blacklist you. Commission at your own risk.

'Upgrades' are usually fine, just ask! At least the difference will be paid.

Misc But Important

There is often a queue. Your commission will not be given to you in a few days, nor even started. Please do not rush me! If you have a 'deadline,' we may discuss.

See a specific piece you like in my gallery? Show me if you want it 'like this.' May affect pricing.

If you wish to commission your OC with mine, yours will undergo a more critical inspection. It will be a matter of personal taste for me at that point. Don't be afraid to try though! Most of the time it will be fine. If this is a problem, that's quite alright! Do not commission me for that. I won't mind. (Do not commission another artist for my character with yours though if I said no.)

When bidding on my auctions, if I catch you hiding/retracting your bids, I will block you. If there is some kind of emergency or accident, you will inform me upfront. I won't ask you why myself.

Order first, then pay. I will not accept or request payment until I have voiced that I accept the commission.

I will not start work or mark everything clear until the payment is received in full.

Please save your commission to your own computer or online storage upon completion or receiving the .png if you request it during order. If you do not and we both cannot find it online for some reason, I'm sorry.

There is no physical item being shipped. You will not be receiving a physical print or drawing at any point from myself.

Similarly, you will not be getting the file itself unless you ask.

If there is something wrong with your commission within the guidelines above, you have 48 hours to contact me about it and we will discuss what is to be done. After this 48 hours, or if you have voiced that you are happy, I will consider our 'contract' complete, and I will not be making any changes.

Send a note with your order preferably to Twitter (@cluewoof), or FA (Clue). Feel free to just give me a basic idea so I can see if it sounds good before you have to go and gather references and fill out the form. Thank you!!
