In the case of commissioned work with an exorbitant amount of detail and specificity, additional fees apply. Buyer will be notified of these excess charges before proper work begins.
In the case of commissions that are to be used for some other commercial means--t-shirts, buttons, et cetera--a further surcharge will be added for the purchase of the rights to market said piece. This charge varies depending on the media on which it is being marketed, the timespan for which it will be marketed, and the amount of marketing to be done. For instance, an image used on a limited edition run of t-shirts would have a lower licensing fee than that of an unlimited run. In some cases--book illustrations, graphic novel work, original character design, et cetera--there may also be an ongoing royalty fee. Again, the buyer will be notified of the full amount of upfront payment and the requested royalty rate (if applicable) prior to the start of the commission.

Payment Methods
Payments are currently accepted via PayPal (paypal email is nashidesei@gmail.com) or via the postal service in the form of a check or money order. Cash is also accepted, but keep in mind that this is a much less secure payment form, and if payment is never received the commission will not be completed!
Other Information
When the matter of the commission itself is settled, I will send you a summary of what's expected of me and of you--basically, a simple contract stating that I'll draw something for you and you intend to pay me for it. I will start on the image as soon as I receive acceptance confirmation of this contract, but it will not be sent or colored--if it is a colored image requested--until the required level of payment has been received; 50% beforehand for commissions over $40, full payment for commissions under $40. At this point a watermarked sketch or lineart will be sent to you for approval.
If it's a sketch, and the commission is over $25 in price you are allowed to request one redo, although I would greatly prefer you didn't. (Artistic license, personal preference and all that.) I will accept a total of three minor revision requests at the lineart level. At the base-colored level you're permitted to request whatever color shifts you would like, within reason, but please don't tell me to change everything at the last minute. (If you have more than five color revision requests, I'll more than likely ask you to assemble and send me a colorkey.) Upon completion you will be emailed a low-res watermarked copy for approval.
For commissions priced over $40, the other 50% of your payment will be requested upon completion of the commission; upon arrival of payment a full-size 300dpi PNG file will be mailed to you. For commissions priced under $40, the full-res image will be sent upon approval.
These prices are for digital work only, except in the case of Index commissions. If you'd like to request a print or prints of your commission, you are responsible both for the price of printing and the price of postage, which will be calculated one a case by case basis. Index commissions have a shipping charges under $10.00 in the United States. International shipping will be calculated on demand. You will be provided with a tracking number. Should your package not arrive, by some thankfully rare and horrific twist of fate and poor shipping policies, you have thirty (30) days to contact me and request a re-send. If you were waiting on an original, you will be provided with two high-quality prints to replace it.
In the case of Silhouette Commissions, there is a limit of 4 colors to be used, not counting fluctuations caused by patterning. These colors are customarily left up to the artist--and usually follow the pattern of 1. Hair, 2. Tattoos/Scars, 3. Jewelry, 4. Background--but if there is some specific element you want colored over another, feel free to let me know and I'll shuffle things around. I want you to be as happy with your purchase as possible.
