Decided to stay, because it would be stupid to leave. x3 Too many people I'd be leaving behind... I can't do that.

...never do it. XD; This paper sucks so much, I can't even being to explain it. I'll just tell my peer editor to help me out as much as they can, because honestly this paper could be so much better.

Or even better, I might just ask my teacher for help because I hardly have a clue how to cite websites correctly (especially sites like www.copyright.gov). Meeeeh. I forced myself to write this paper. It could be better.

...I wrote about the recent Pokémon fansite issue where Nintendo was asking fansites to take down the new Black/White images. Haha, hope nobody makes fun of me for liking Pokémon still at age 20. Oh well if they do.

This was kiiiiind of a vent, but more of a... I need to tell someone. XD; Feel free to ignore this.

Starting Prices:

Upfront payments start at...

$5 (USD) for a standard 8" x 10" canvas.

$10+ (USD) for a larger canvas (please name your size when you make your order; prices will vary depending on size).

$3 (USD) for a smaller canvas (any size smaller than the standard 8" x 10" size).

I do NOT refund upfront payments! All upfront payments are final! No exceptions! They are used to buy the canvas I will be working on.

DISCOUNTS!!!
I have an extra THREE $5 canvases, so if you would like the standard canvas size, please let me know and you won't have to pay the $5 upfront!

THIS IS FIRST COME FIRST SERVE! I have advertised this elsewhere, so if you want a free canvas, get it while it's still there!

Payment Methods:

I ONLY accept PayPal at this time. I will message you with my PayPal information.

Upfront payments are needed to start on your commission. If I do not receive payment in 2 weeks, your commission slot will be canceled without warning.

Things to Keep in Mind:

If you would like to set a deadline, please let me know. This deadline MUST be set 2 WEEKS ahead of schedule. I do not do overnight jobs.

I can paint...
- Original Characters (anthro, quad, etc.)
- Realism; Animals & Pets
- Fan Characters

I DO NOT PAINT...
- Tradmarked characters*
- Pornographic or other forms of it
- Human or Scenery
- Fan Characters that are recolors of existing characters
- Characters that you did not get permission to use (someone else's original character, fan character, etc.)**

<sub>*I do not paint trademarked characters because it is against the law. I will decline any commissions that I feel are asking me to paint something that belongs to someone else.

**This does not apply if you're asking me to paint a character for a friend. I'm happy to do gifts for other people.</sub>

I work by the hour, so the final price will vary depending on the hours I've spent on your painting. My usual standard is $5 an hour, but this may vary depending on the size of the painting.

I work in order of the commission list, so if your name is at the bottom, it is because you commissioned something more recently.

I will give WIP reports ONLY if they are requested. Constant begging to see a WIP report will result in your commission being canceled.

A picture reference is needed; I do not work well with written descriptions, so please do not give them to me. If you have extra information to give with your picture reference, this is okay to do.

FRAMES ARE NOT INCLUDED!

Shipping Information:

I ship IMMEDIATELY after receiving FULL PAYMENT!!!
You will receive a message when your painting has been shipped.

Shipping prices start at $5 for US shipping; other prices will vary depending on where you are.

All shipments are carefully packaged in a bubble envelope and cushioned with newspaper.

Please let me know what kind of shipping you would like; this may cost more or less depending on the method of shipment.

I am NOT responsible for any lost paintings in shipment!

However...

If your shipment does not arrive within 2 months of the original shipping date, you will be refunded for the price of the painting (upfront payment cannot be refunded).

If your painting is damaged in shipment, I will refund a third of your payment to make up for the damage.

If I lose your painting before its shipment date, you will be refunded in whole, including shipping (if paid). The refund does not include upfront payments.
