All remaining commissions will be finished however and any previously arranged prices or payments will be kept the same. Thank you

COMMISSION STATUS: CURRENTLY CLOSED CURRENTLY


INTRODUCTION

Okay, so as of 30th September 2017 my price list and available commissions will alter and be open. Please find all new information below on items available and note the changes to my forms and indeed the following….

    -          Price elevation

    -          Slot Availability

    -          Variety of commissions available

    -          Paypal options

Because this writing takes up a lot of my time and a lot of effort, not to mention I believe my writing is of a good quality, I have increased the prices and added Paypal as a payment option as I have been using this for work on a different site for my writing. I hope this will be enlightening or make sense to you.

Please note these changes do not affect commissions currently in progress or that have been arranged at a previous date or time.

 

1. Drawing Commissions

 

“Dragonisation/ Animalisation”

What I’ll do: Simply put, this is when I draw an animal or dragon version of your original character or a favoured character you would like to see in my style. All I need is either a picture or a full description of the character and whatever particulars you would like added to it.

Price: 

 

Lion Designs

What I’ll do: Need a design for a lion based on a real image or indeed want to see a real lion be drawn into a character sheet that you can use? Just ask and I’ll see what I can do. Whether it’s just a headshot you want or a full body, I’ll give it a go.

Price: 

 

Lion Design + History/ Character story

What I’ll do: I’ll not only do a design for your character but create an interesting back story or history to help it sit within your universe. I have designed one or two characters like this for a few other artists and as you can tell from my own character profiles there is no shortage of ideas in my head.

Price: 

 

Dragon Design

What I’ll do: Draw a dragon for you in one of my breeds for you to use however you’d like. It’s as simple as that, if you have colour or breed preferences that’s fine too!

Price:

 

Dragon Drawing

What I’ll do: Simple, if you want a picture of dragons doing anything from fighting to just being in an interesting pose with a suitable background, I can do that for you. Whether it’s OCs or you’d like me to draw some of my own characters, it’s no problem.

Price: 

 

Animal Drawing

What I’ll do: Want a drawing of any animal from me? Well if you would like me to draw one for you than I’d like to. I also include dinosaurs and any fantasy animal that is not a lion or a dragon – you can decide on the pose or the kind of scene you want depicted. However, complicated colour patterns and markings can be a bit of a nightmare so might take longer.

Price: 

 

Character Drawing (Anthro or Human)

What I’ll do: Okay, so I’m not too bad with Anthro characters but my humans can be a bit rubbish, all the same I’ll gladly give it a go if you’d like me to try. With any human characters I’ll draw them on paper, scan and then deal with on the computer to ensure a better quality, but this takes longer. At the moment, these kinds of drawings are cheaper whilst I build up my experience with them.

Price: 

 

1 Page Comic

What I’ll do: Simply put, if you want a one page comic drawn for you (non-human only) I can do that no problem and will check the script idea with you before I draw it along with basic designs of anything involved.

Price: 

 

20 Page Comic (with prepared script)

What I’ll do: Got a script for a comic with the kind of things I can draw that you’re not sure might work out, I can give it a go for you up to 20 pages.

Price: 

 

20 Page Comic (without script but with story)

What I’ll do: Just like the above, I’ll do a 20 page comic for you but if it hasn’t got a script yet you’ve got a good story written for it, I’ll convert it into a script and draw it for you.

Price: 

 

20 Page Comic (no script etc.)

What I’ll do: Got no script at all but just a concept or just a character design, I can turn it into a comic script for you, check it over with you and then make a comic. The length of time on this is much longer and it is a lot more difficult to do.

Price: 

 

2. Writing Commissions

 

Story Continuations

What I’ll do: Is there one of my fan-fictions or stories that you would like to see given another chapter or an epilogue? Well all you have to do is donate a point or two… though one donation will equal one chapter and this only applies to stories deemed complete.

Price: 

 

Character Profiles

What I’ll do: Need help fleshing out a character and its history or just need some pointers on the kind of things you might want to consider when developing a character? For a small donation, I will gladly give advice and help.

Price: 

 

One-shot Fan Fiction or Reader Insert or General Fiction

What I’ll do: Basically it is what it is, want a brief one-off piece of any level of maturity just playing around with one little thought bubble in your mind or even to help you work out a story idea of your own, then I’m glad to give it a go.

Price: 

 

OC Fan-fiction this includes Reader-inserts [Hetalia prices separate]

What I’ll do: Want me to write a piece for your own character in a series then these are the prices available and the chapter lengths I usually go for. Any kind of character is welcome and it’s always best to note me your idea first so we can discuss what I can do for you, sometimes you may want an extensive piece but some ideas can’t be stretched out that far. I do have restrictions on the kind of universes I will do a fan-fiction for but that can be discussed in notes. The ones I will not do completely are listed in the section below. The more chapters though the less likely I am

Price as Follows…

Up to 3 Chapters (minimum 15 pages) – 

Up to 5 Chapters (minimum 25 pages) – 

Up to 7 Chapters (minimum 35 pages) – 

Up to 10 Chapters (minimum 50 pages) – 

10 Chapters or 50 Pages Plus – 

 

General Fiction

What I’ll do: Just want a story of any kind that’s not related to any series out there and is just unique to your desires, I’m quite willing to do whatever you would like, whether with your original characters and universe or one that you’d just like for me to write anyway. Because this taxes my brain a bit more it can be expensive, but it is worth it.

Price as Follows…

Up to 3 Chapters (minimum 15 pages) – 

Up to 5 Chapters (minimum 25 pages) – 

Up to 7 Chapters (minimum 35 pages) –

Hetalia OC or Reader Insert One-shot

What I’ll do: As Hetalia is my main project area I will literally do anything you want me to do with it and the maturity level is not a problem neither is the kind of story you want me to write. I really will try and write anything you’d like me to and in truth you just have to look through my gallery to see the variety of work I can do here. Plus if you’ve got a good Original Character for Hetalia you’d like to see given a reader insert series or just given a story with one of the other characters then I’d be happy to do it!

Up to 7 Chapters (minimum 35 pages) –

NSFW (Not Safe for Work)

What I’ll do: Okay I’ve got experience here and have pieces for people before and really I’m not bothered by the subject matter with only maybe a few areas I strictly will not write about. Most of my experience is involving Furry characters but I can write for non-furry if it’s wanted. Literally, if you want something on the extreme side with a heavy focus on the ‘erotic’ I can do that for you but it is strictly Paypal and cannot be uploaded anywhere unless specifically requested – I will only discuss and give the item via e-mail.

3. WHAT I WON’T DO!

 

Okay, so there are a few things I just will not do on the whole that I will list below that pertain to commissions in general, NSFW work I will only discuss in notes/ e-mail so anything relating to that is not on this bit. This area covers simply the kind of writing or drawing I will not do or which franchises I won’t work around. This list only covers those I have been asked about previously or really will not do, okay?

    ·         Children – I won’t write Child reader X stories or anything containing adult situations from the point of view of a child

    ·         Incest – If it’s between blood relatives I won’t do any drawing or writing work related to it as a main theme, however as an aspect of a character’s past or something the character is escaping than I would use it only for dramatic purposes

    ·         Harry Potter Related – there are some exclusions to this but would be discussed in notes only

    ·         Homestuck Related

    ·         Game of Thrones Related

    ·         Undertale Related

    ·         Creepypasta Related

    ·         Celebrities/ Youtube stars etc – Characters they play is fine because characters are fictional, but I wouldn’t do it for ‘real people’ because it’s a bit creepy to me

    ·         Twilight Related

    ·         50 Shades of Grey Related

    ·         Rape – Now, if you want me to write something where the character is raped as the main premise of the commission, I won’t do it and if it occurs within the flow of the story, as sometimes happens in my own stories, I will not describe it in great detail or make it into a love scene… because it’s not a love scene it’s about control. This applies to anything else that would be seen as against the guidelines for DA uploads and I certainly will not draw such things!

    ·         DRAWING NSFW – I just won’t do it

    ·         Mature scenes for underage characters – Okay, this can be a bit muddled because the age of consent is different in different countries, here in the UK its 16, in America its 18 in some places and in some countries it’s 21… I will not write a mature scene for any characters under 18 years old

    ·         My original characters in adult situations or out of context of their universe [exceptions here for birthday requests]

    ·         If I can think of anything else or things change I will update this

 

4. Payment Options & Timescales

 

All donations for continuations etc should be mentioned in a note first and accepted before being donated into the donation area on the main account page or they will not be noticed.

Okay, once the price is negotiated in note form then there for all point commissions a commission box relating to the commissioner will be put up on the front page to be paid. For all drawings and one-shots it must be paid in advance of working. For chapter pieces the payment will be required after the first chapter has been uploaded and is to your full liking. This includes Paypal options, if it’s a one off you must pay first but if it’s chapter-based it must be after the uploading of the first chapter. In the case of comics, payment must be made after the proposed script has been sent to you and approved of, although comics with scripts given over must be paid for with the uploading of the first page.

When a commission is accepted, I will inform you whether it will be uploaded on the main account :iconechosdusk: or the secondary (less crowded) account :iconechosduskagain: and this will also be identified on the Commissions List. All Commissions will be added to the commissions list the next Sunday after accepting a commission and will state whether a payment has been received or is pending. Pending is when a first chapter has been uploaded but there has not been a payment to allow the continuation of a project, in general I’m patient so if you’re not sure you’ll be able to pay until a certain date, I will not harass you over it and if it’s a one-off I will simple not upload until the time you believe you can afford it.

If you fail to pay within three months of a commission being uploaded [one-off or first chapter] than the commission will sit On Hold for another three months, if no payment is made within that time than the commission will be cancelled. However, a cancelled commission can be continued at any point in future or by a donor interested.

With regards to length of time, a month is needed after accepting a commission to sort out schedule, research needed and just the basic information before an item is uploaded. With one-offs it will be a month roughly before they are done, however simpler ones may be uploaded faster. All first chapters or first pages are generally prepared within the space of a month but all additional chapters can vary. Cash commissions will inevitably get done faster and in general my schedule has been adjusted more correctly to allow commissions to gain higher priority than they have in the past. However, because longer stories take a longer amount of time to prepare I will only take them on if I can guarantee they have the available time.

I have only 25 slots available for Prizes and for Commissions so when these are filled there will be no accepting of commissions, although if you see a slot is empty, don’t hesitate to send a note and ask a question. If you need a piece done within a certain amount of time than please indicate this within your request although pieces to a strict time scale would be charged with an extra 10 Points.

 

5. Commission Forms

 

The commission form is practically the same as it has been before. Please fill in the questions in bold, the italic sections are purely to assist you, please do not leave them when sending the form. Please note questions marked (a) are only relevant for drawing commissions (b) for writing commissions, (c) for continuations and (d) for NSFW so don’t fill up what’s not related to your commission.

In the case of COMICS just send me a note with your basic synopsis and any profiles of the main character and we can discuss the situation.

 

What’s it for: Drawing Commission/ Writing Commission/ Continuation/ NSFW

How Long: [See options above]

What You Want (c): For Continuations State the name of the story you want continued, how many parts more you want and of course what you want to happen in it

Who’s in it: I would like references for any named characters and if it is a reader insert story please state it is a reader insert

About your Character (b): Links to profiles etc are fine here just make sure to include name, description, personality and motivation for the story – for reader inserts you can tell me here if you want any specific details e.g. vampire, chubby whatever or anything about the reader… literally just tell me what is unique to the characters I’m using in this writing piece as the Protagonist

Maturity (b1): Gentle [fluffy], Sensation [lime/ lemon], Passionate [lemon full scene] or Intense [ranges from blood and gore to BDSM etc]

Maturity (b2): Normal, Fluffy, Medium (includes a little violence etc), Dark (anything dark-themed) or Violent (e.g. if it’s a crime story)

About the story (b): What do you want me to write? What’s your idea?

Then simply await my response.

 

6. My Promises

 

    1.       I promise to be honest if I don’t think I can do a piece

    2.       I promise to inform you if I am running late on uploads

    3.       I promise I will rework for free a piece not to the commissioners liking after uploading or refund half of commission price if reworking is not requested

    4.       I promise I will refund half of the commission price if it is not completed within a year of the acceptance of payment

    5.       I promise I will not claim ownership of any of your characters used and will always refer the story idea back to you and give you proper credit

    6.       I promise I will do all the work myself and not steal from others or duplicate images

    7.       I promise I will not use your OCs for my own benefit outside of your commission

    8.       I promise I will not use a preview picture that is not official to a series or correctly identified with references

    9.       I promise I will not use work produced for you to gain any profit from anyone who is not the original commissioner

    10.   I promise any request for the commissioner to remain anonymous will be fulfilled

    11.   I promise to refund fully if a commission is cancelled before uploaded [within that month period mentioned previously]

    12.   I promise to refund half of commission price if commission is cancelled after initial 3 months unless commission is completed or 2/3 complete

    13.   I promise I will not bully or harass for payment in return for being treated with respect by commissioners and not harassed by them in return

WHAT I EXPECT OF YOU

If at any point I feel, as a commissioner, that you have harassed me or you are not treating me with the dignity, respect and kindness I will show you than I have the right to cancel commissions. Just as I will not upload where you do not want me to, you do not have the right to reupload any work I do on your behalf without express WRITTEN permission from myself that would be discussed upon taking on a commission. You will not use my work for you to gain profit for yourself. It’s simple really, don’t do to me what I wouldn’t do to you.
