Hello again! I am currently open for commissions! I am close to paying off my previous $1700 car repair bill and now I am currently saving up for another repair cost. Previously, my alternator, thermostat and housing, rear brakes, and a motor mount had to be repaired so that I could use my car. Now my car is stuck in reverse because I need my trans linkage repaired. I could use whatever work I can come by because I cannot always borrow a car to pick up additional shifts at my job and this situation prevents me from DoorDashing until I can fix my car. I'm expecting this bill to be another $500. I have been throwing every penny I can get into getting my car back on the road while still trying to raise enough money to pay my credit card and insurance bill coming up in the next two weeks (another $300). I'm really stuck between a rock and a hard place at this moment.
Please consider commissioning me if you are able to help me at all! I could really use any and all the help I can get. If you can’t help me by commissioning me, that’s fine! You can help me by reblogging this post! Or please consider buying me a coffee on Ko-fi! You can find me at yeslahrt or by checking my blog's bio for a direct link.
The prices indicated on my commission sheet are base prices for the examples shown on the graphic. Here is more information to help clear up any additional question you may have. Once I am commissioned, it will be assumed that you have read through the information below!
WHAT I WILL DRAW:
Animals! I can draw a variety of animals and would love to have more practice to expand on my portfolio.
Mythical animals! I will do my best to illustrate your fantasy animal.
Monsters! I will take a stab at drawing your weird creature and make it look awesome.
D&D characters! Anthros! If it has a skeleton, I will do my best to draw what you want.
Yes, I am open to drawing sensual illustrations per my taste.
WHAT I WILL NOT DRAW:
I am still working on gaining more experience with using perspective, therefore I will not draw mech. One day, though.
I do not have the experience to draw gore.
I do not have the experience to draw chibis.
No, I will not draw pron for you.
WHAT TO EXPECT...
INQUIRIES & ORDERS: All clients should tell me everything that I need for your quote. If the client is too vague, I may not be able to accurately portray the character in the same fashion as you would like. (See below for info regarding references). Once we are ready to move forward, you will receive an invoice at the PayPal email you provide me.
I will not start working on your commission until the invoice is paid. If the invoice is not paid within 72 hours, I will send a confirmation of cancellation of your commission and discard your project. You will then have to wait until I have slots available again.
Repeated offenders will be denied service and potentially banned from my services.
Responsibility of following copyright notices and laws will fall solely on the client. Please do your own research and due diligence when commissioning licensed characters that do not belong to you. *
WHAT I NEED FROM YOU:
PayPal Email: (Please note that I only take USDs.)
Commercial or Personal Use? (If commercial, please explain.)
Printed and Framed? (Yes, I can have your illustration printed, framed, and sent to you for additional costs.)
Type of Illustration: (Please tell me what to illustrate for you. IE: Icon, extra small (XSm) portrait, regular portrait, half body, full body, etc.)
Do you want flat color for your illustration? (+$10 for regular portraits, +$15 for half body, +$20 for full body illustrations)
Do you want full color and shading? (+$30 for regular portraits, +$40 for half body, +$50 for full body illustrations)
More characters? Additional characters per illustration START at half cost as a base idea, but prices will vary depending on your commission and how much added work it will be.
Quick Personality: (Used to get a sense of the character I will be illustrating.)
Extra additions? (Do you want them smiling? Crying? Serious? What do you want them doing, if applicable?)
Do you have references? (If yes, I will ask you to email them to my business account. Do not send them to me via Tumblr.)
REFERENCE GUIDELINES
Please send me pictures of your character(s) for reference! Things to consider: potential hairstyles, outfits, color palettes, preferred skin tone, other illustrations of your character that you commissioned from other artists, etc. Anything to better help me portray your character correctly is good.
I also need a few words about their personality for setting a mood for your character. This should be no more than three sentences max.
If you have a pose in mind, please reference the pose. Otherwise I will take artistic freedom with the rough sketch.
WARNING: Do not send me a link to your toyhouse or website where I have to get the references myself. Otherwise you risk your inquiry being rejected.
Yes, I am okay with clients sharing a google folder of references specific to your commission with me.
WiPs & WORK PROCESS
You, the client, will receive periodic WiPs of the initial rough sketch that will lay down the foundation of your commission. This is the time for you to tell me if there are any major concerns or adjustments that should be made to avoid incurring additional work fees.
You will eventually be asked to confirm the rough sketch before I begin working on finalizing the line work and illustration. Once confirmed, minor details can be requested to be altered and changed, but the main part of the illustration will not be altered without incurring additional fees.
Once the line work has been finalized, I will begin working on adding flat colors. I strongly recommend you to send me color palettes if you are very particular, otherwise I will take artistic freedom with the illustration. You will again be sent a WiP to make any color corrections. If any of the flat colors are off, this is the time to tell me before I finish your commission with the final shading.
POST PERIOD OF REVISION: I will make minor alterations within reason after the first 72 hours of completion. Any changes that require me to go back and rework the line art, which will lead to me fixing colors/shading, (ex: a different outfit) you will incur an additional 50% - 75% of the original commission cost.
PLEASE BE ADVISED: If you are having me design your character for the first time and your thought process is exceptionally particular concerning your character, you may incur an additional 30% conceptual design fee for the additional time I will spend with you to make the actualization of your character the best it can be.
DELIVERY OF COMMISSION: I will send you an email with a link to your finished commission (usually via Google drive). Unless you have specifically requested for a printed and framed bundle, there will be no physical product or merchandise exchange.
WHAT ABOUT DEADLINES?
The client is more than welcome to suggest a date that they may need the commission to be completed by. Depending on the type of turnaround you are requesting, you will be charged a rush fee of 35 - 50% of the original cost of the commission.
Otherwise the commission will be done in the order received and you may be given a rough estimate of when the work should be started. The completion of the project will take between 1 week and 2 months, give or take, once you have been notified that the work has started.
ART SCHEDULE & SOCIAL MEDIA
Please be aware that I hold a job outside of social media. I sadly do not have a set schedule for my job. I find my creative drive spontaneous throughout the day, therefore I do not have a predictable drawing schedule. If you wish to watch me draw, then you can find the link in my bio to follow me.
Sadly, because of Tumblr's algorithms of hiding/shadow banning posts, I cannot add a link to it here for your convenience. All I can say is if you have the ITCH to watch me draw, you know where to find me, if ya' catch my drift? 'Eh? 'Eh?
ADDITIONAL FEES
If you, the client, are requesting thorough concept art of your character, which include reference sheets alongside of an illustration, I will ask for an additional fee for the service I will provide when spending extra time making sure that your new character is just right and providing a character reference sheet.
As a rule, I always add my watermark to a small portion of every commission that will not hinder your view of the work. If you wish to have a file without my watermark, please expect an additional fee added to your commission price. Personal use only.
If you wish for a high-quality illustration for printing, please expect an additional 50% minimum fee added to your commission. Personal use only.
The print-and-frame bundle will incur additional costs and time. Please contact me for more details.
CANCELLATIONS AND REFUNDS
Every client has the right to cancel their commission any time before I START work on their commission. Other refunds may be issued based on client relation, otherwise all payments are non-refundable once I have started work on your commission.
I also reserve the right to cancel your commission for any reason, for which you will see a refund if you have paid.
HOWEVER: If I terminate your commission due to the harassment of myself or my followers on social media, racially charged behavior or hate speech, threats of violence, obsessive or otherwise disturbing behavior... YOU WILL NOT GET A REFUND REGARDLESS OF THE STATUS OF YOUR COMMISSION.
I reserve the right to refuse your inquiry and/or commission for any reason I feel necessary. If I refuse your commission inquiry, please do not inquire about said commission again in the future.

However please understand that I reserve the right to print and display my artwork for my physical portfolio and that your request will not extend to my physical gallery unless other arrangements have been made.
I have changed my art blog name to yeslahrt from @candlejackedart. Since I've been able to spend more time exploring the art community, and alas drawing again, I've decided it was time to move away from my old moniker. It was an reference to an old show and character, thus if I want to do anything seriously with my art in the future, I needed something different. You can still find my main blog at @candle-jacked, that won't change, but from here on out, I will be watermarking my work with my new blog name and watermark. My other art galleries will soon follow suit as well. I will leave you with a current WIP:
