Hi I'm AJ, I make digital art and these are all my art-related accounts. I use Clip Studio Paint. :)
Deviantart and Instagram are here for archival purposes but I won't be uploading to them anymore because of AI reasons. Tumblr I haven't updated in a while, but since I won't be using Deviantart anymore I'll probably go back to it. My Cara and Bluesky are new. Commission info is on my Ko-fi.
Commission Terms of Service
Thank you for your interest in commissioning me! Please read through these terms to make sure you agree with them before paying.
WILL/WON'T DRAW
โ YES: OCs, furries/anthro, fan art, ship art, self-inserts, self-ship, yourself/friends/family/partner, small props/objects/instruments, canes/staffs, swords, handguns/rifles/shotguns
โ NO: NSFW, kink, nudity, swimsuits/underwear, proship, gore, mecha/complex robots, real people you don't know (celebrities/YouTubers), detailed/complex background scene (for now)
โAsk first / Extra cost: large wings, extra limbs, large furniture/objects, medium/large instruments (guitar-size or bigger), heavy weapons, (non-anthro)animals/pets
I will only work from visual references, not descriptions. If you don't have a visual reference, you can use a screenshot from any character creator. I will not work with AI-generated references.
USAGE
You may only use the commission for personal, non-commercial use.
You may print out or otherwise reproduce the art for any reason EXCEPT with the intent to sell it or pass it off as your own.
You may post the art anywhere with a link back to my Ko-Fi or Carrd somewhere visible on the same page as the art.
You may edit the art however you want.
You may not intentionally feed the art into any AI program.
QUEUE & WAIT TIME
You will receive the sketch draft within 7 days after you've paid OR once your slot is next, the lineart within 10 days after your final approval of the sketch, and the final colored commission within 14 days after your final approval of the lineart.
In addition to the base wait time, please allow about an extra month of wait time for every person ahead of you in the queue. (I will only open about 3 at a time)
I will let you know if you or another slot will require more time depending on the amount of add-ons.
FILES & REVISIONS
Revisions to any stage should not take more than 1-3 days, depending on how simple to complex they are.
All files sent for your approval will be resized with a watermark on them. You will get the full size unwatermarked files once you approve the final colored version and do not require any revisions.
If you are not sure about the pose you want, I can send you a few very rough sketch variations for you to pick one from to make into a clean sketch for final approval.
Once the final clean sketch has been approved no part that has been lined over can be revised unless it's something small or I misinterpreted part of the character's design.
Once lineart has been approved it cannot be revised unless it's something small, or I made a mistake that we both missed, or coloring has not been started.
Once the final version of the commission has been approved it cannot be revised, unless there is a mistake that was not visible on the resized version that is now visible on the full-size version.
REFUNDS & CANCELLATIONS
If you want to cancel the commission for any reason, I will give you a partial refund based on what stage I am on:
Not started = 100% minus any Ko-fi & PayPal fees I have paid out of it.
Completed sketch = 80% of base cost, +80% of cost for in-progress add-ons, -80% of fees +92% cost of not-started add-ons.
Started lineart = 60% of base cost, +60% of cost for in-progress add-ons, -60% of fees +92% cost of not-started add-ons.
Completed lineart = 40% of base cost, +40% of cost for in-progress add-ons, -40% of fees +92% cost of not-started add-ons.
Started flat coloring = 20% of base cost, +20% of cost for in-progress add-ons, -20% of fees +92% cost of not-started add-ons.
Completed flat coloring = 0% of everything except for 92% cost of not-started add-ons.
Note: It's 92% for the add-ons I haven't started yet because of the 5% Ko-Fi fee and 3% PayPal fee.
Note: "Completed" means that I have sent you the file for approval, whether you have approved it or not. I will always send the file as soon as a stage is completed. (This is so you know I will not claim falsely it was completed just to take more time to finish it, and that doing so would go against my own terms.)
I have the right to stop working on your commission and send you a partial refund based on the refund terms if:
you become rude or hostile,
I suspect you have any intention of violating the usage terms,
I suspect you are trying to use revisions to get different versions of the artwork,
I cannot reach you for an extended amount of time (over 2 months) with no explanation from you,
software/hardware issues or unexpected life events prevent me from continuing the commission or finishing within the expected time frames outlined earlier. (Only in this specific case I will refund 100% of what you paid, no matter the stage of completion.)
If you falsely open a chargeback, I will dispute it by providing these terms, proof from my Carrd dashboard of when this page was last edited, and all of our communication/files as evidence.

Secret Links
If you somehow found this, hi lol. These are links to stuff I don't really post anywhere else, either because they're still in-progress and/or I'd rather keep them a bit more private, but feel free to look.
