Frequently Asked Questions

Are your commissions open?

Currently, I accept commissions on a sporadic basis from my [waitlist]. ​I aim to complete at least 4 commissions per month, but that number fluctuates depending on my availability and the types of commissions being completed.

What is the wait time for a commission?

Wait times depend on many factors - the time of year and my schedule availability, how many people are on the waitlist, how detailed the commission is, and how quickly I receive message responses. Commissions are chosen based on interest and time available to complete them, not on a first-come-first-served basis. Simple commission types are faster and easier to complete than large detailed ones. Supporters of my [Patreon] are prioritized.
I do not recommend trying to commission time-sensitive pieces such as birthday or anniversary gifts, as there is no guarantee that your commission will be accepted or finished in time.

Why a waitlist instead of first-come, first-served?

Being able to choose projects based on my changing availability and motivation at any given time means I can work things into my schedule quicker and more seamlessly. It also means less wait time between payment and receival of the finished art.

Can I check on the progress of my commission?

If you have been selected from the waitlist and your commission request accepted, you can check on the progress of your commission at any time by viewing the [Queue] page!

What counts as a "detailed" or "complicated" character?

A standard base design is considered a head, body, and four limbs. Additional costs will accompany anything that adds complexity to the standard base. Examples include: more than 4 limbs, limbs that are larger or more detailed than usual, a complex color-scheme or pattern, detailed clothing, multiple accessories, and large props or pets that would not otherwise count as a second character.

Do you take NSFW commissions?

I may take softcore NSFW commissions on an extremely limited basis. I prefer drawing ferals. I will not draw any kind of exposed penetration or genitalia. I will not draw non-con. I will not draw sexual violence, pedophilia, necrophilia, bestiality, or heavy gore.
Examples of my style of NSFW can be found here: [1] [2] [3]

Do you take requests or art trades?

In general, no. If we are mutuals, please feel free to ask. Otherwise, consider signing up for ArtFight.net! It is an annual art trading event that I participate in every year.

Can I get a discount if I only want a sketch or lineart?

Sorry, I do not offer commissions for sketches, lineart, or anything that I would consider "unfinished". I try to offer commission types at many different price points if you are looking for cheaper options. 

Can I use your artwork for my project/tattoo/etc?

Please ask me first to make sure the artwork you want to use is not a personal piece, commission, or commercial product. If your intentions are for-profit, I may ask a royalty fee or other associated cost.
If I find that my artwork has been used in full, in part, or as heavy inspiration without my consent, I may ask you to remove it, report you, or take legal action where applicable.

Can I repost artwork you made for me?

As long as you credit me (KiRAWRa) and link back to my website or tag my account, you are welcome to upload artwork made for you to any site or account.

Can I repost artwork you did NOT make for me?

Please ask me first. I am usually quite accepting, but if I find an upload that was posted without my consent, I may ask you to remove it, or report you.

Can I edit artwork you made for me to fit my icon/banner/sig/etc?

Yes, you may crop, rotate, and resize artwork you commissioned to fit a personal icon, banner, sig, or page decoration. You are also welcome to request I do this for you. You may NOT heavily alter, recolor, change, or otherwise deface the artwork. 

Can I use your art for NFTs or commission you for NFT art?

No, sorry. I do not support NFTs, nor do I want my art associated with NFTs. Anyone using or uploading my artwork as an NFT will be reported and have legal action taken against them where applicable.

Can I remove your name or watermark from artwork if I credit you elsewhere?

Under no circumstances are you ever allowed to remove or censor my watermark, name, or signature from any of my artworks.

I have a question about refunds, payments, or copyrights
