Status: Selective for 2024

I'm currently focusing on revamping my website and showcases at moment, but I am open to any 2024 rigging inquiries.
Please read through my TOS and Process & FAQ pages before sending an inquiry.

⚠️NOTICE ⚠️

** Please read through my TOS, Pricing, Processe, & Schedule pages before sending an inquiry or application.
I do NOT respond to inquiries that fail to acknowledge my TOS and basic commission information.**

Commission Benefits

Terms of Service

By commissioning me, the client agrees to abide by these terms.
Not following TOS & not taking the time to understand my process may result in dropping the commission, the refusal to continue doing business with the client, and, depending on the severity, the potential blacklisting of the client.

Live2D Specific Terms & Info

Commission Process

Step 1: Read my TOS and agree to the terms

Please read through the TOS thoroughly, breach of TOS will result in the refusal to do business with the client and potential blacklisting.

Step 2: Read the rest of the information on my site: check my Prices, Schedule, Process/FAQ, Portfolio

Determine if the information presented fits your budget, schedule, and style. Have a deadline for model delivery in mind, remember to consider that testing/revisions will be done after the model is delivered as well.

Step 3: Have a ready to rig PSD on hand. Alternatively, have designs/WIPs to share

If you are in the early stages of the model making process, it'll be difficult to gauge interest and ability to rig your model, though you are still free to apply and share your design, designated model artist, and/or WIP model art screenshots. For a better likelihood of being selected, I recommend referring to this guide first and sharing it with your artist. Model art that has proper art separation/void filling is highly preferred.
As of now I do not offer doing model art for Live2D, I am considering opening extremely limited slots in the future to mutuals, returning clients, or highly appealing designs.

Step 4: Apply through the form on the Commissions Home Page when public commissions open

Keep an eye out on my twitter for public commissions opening announcements & updates.If my public commissions are closed, the link to the form will not be present, it will be replaced with a form for inquiries. Inquiries for future commissions/projects are still welcome (though I will be more selective and slots may not be as readily available), Read through the Inquiries section to learn more.

Step 5: Wait for the public commissions applications to close, check for acceptance

Once my commissions officially close, I will put an announcement tweet out on twitter. Check your DMs to see if you are accepted, I do not send personal rejection messages for my public commissions openings.If you are accepted, I will notify you through Twitter DMs (or preferred method of contact). I'll provide a rough price estimate, let you know if I will need any additional PSD revisions or further breakdown of details, and list your set work dates (estimated time that I will work on and complete your model).

Step 6: If the model PSD requires more cutting & separation:

I will move forward with the commisison so long as the client agrees with following through the possible options:A. I will do the cutting at a charge. This option will give me more control over how I want the model cut/separate for my rigging process. This will take some time (1-2 days upon start) but is likely to be be quicker than the back-and-forth time that B may potentially take. Payment is included in the rigging invoice.B. I will provide the artist a personalized cutting guide (overlaid on the PSD) at a lesser charge (writing notes still takes work/time). This option may save on cost (if the artist includes revisions as part of their commissions) and can preserve the style of the original model artist but may run the risk going off schedule. The artist may be busy or may not closely follow the cutting guides as intended, thus leading to some time being spent on going back-and-forth. Payment is separate from & done BEFORE the rigging invoice.

Step 7: Confirm your commission slot

Once pricing, scheduling, and additional arrangements have been agreed upon, I will slot you in the schedule. I will not ask for payment immediately since scheduling can fluctuate. Payment is usually prompted a week to a month before I start work on your commission.

Step 7: Payment confirmation

I will prompt for payment when your slot nears the active queue. If you have decided to change your mind about a commission or need more time, please have the decency to tell me ASAP, doing so at your earliest convenience is preferable but better late than never, I don’t bite! However, complete failure to communicate at this stage may lead to me dropping your slot.

Step 8: Rigging in progress!

Once payment is confirmed, I will put your commission in the active queue and begin work on your model shortly! If your commission isn’t private, I may stream myself working on your model on twitch! You are more than welcome to drop in and give feedback (or just lurk)!

Step 9: Model Delivery & Review Phase

The model will be delivered before or at the requested deadline when the majority of the model is complete. I will upload the files to a Google Drive link for you to download. When the model is delivered, the review/revision period will begin, this usually takes 1-2 weeks. I do not recommend debuting the model until the reviewing phase is over, so if you have a debut date in mind, set aside some time for testing.It’s likely that there will be errors in the model that require fixing. I will typically spend 2-4 or more weeks (depending on complexity) after model completion to check for any mistakes. Understand that during this phase, the client is encouraged to provide feedback whether it be corrections or minor preferential adjustments. I also recommend checking in with the artist to ensure that layers are properly clipped/rigged as intended.Additional items and/or major revisions (to rigging/PSD setup) may be requested at a charge at this time if you would like to add more (extended head turn angles, expressions, tracking parameters, etc.) to your model.

Step 10: Completion

Once revisions/corrections are made to satisfactory levels, the commission & review period will be considered as complete! Further revisions months past completion will come at a charge (unless there is a critical mistake made on my part).

Post Delivery File Handling

Model files will always be kept up on Google Drive for the client to redownload if needed.
The project file will be backed up on a hard drive & cloud storage (via Sync) monthly.

Commissions FAQ

- Are you open? How do I commission you? Can I ask you a question?
Read through this entire page!- What are your prices for rigging? / May I inquire about a quote?
See the pricing page for a rough estimate. I do not offer quotes through inquiries unless I am interested in the project. The price of rigging is determined through a case-by-case basis, it is highly dependent on how much rigging work needs to be done.- Can I have a slot / waitlist slot? / Can I make a reservation?
My commissions are not first come, first serve, but you may apply for a slot / waitlist slot through the form if I am open for commissions. Check the above section for reservations.- How do you handle head angle range?
I try to push head angles as far as I can (while avoiding excessive warping) with the given layers in the model art's PSD. If the client would like to push head angles further, I will have to either edit the PSD myself or request for the client's artist to draw in more parts (and possibly headturn guides). The adjustment might come at a charge depending on the work required.- Why haven't you responded to my DM?
Try again, I may have missed it, you can also try @-ing me on Twitter. Though *** I will deliberately ignore vague DMs going "Hello/Hey/Hi," "Are you open?," "I have a question" (followed by no question), as well as DMs where it is it obvious that the inquirer hasn't carefully read through this site.***- How long will it take for you to reply to an inquiry?
It depends on how busy I am, give it a few days to a week.- Do you take returning clients?
It is possible for returning clients to come back to upgrade certain aspects of their model, this includes:
Base model editing, added body parts (i.e. you requested your artist to add legs to a halfbody model & want it rigged), alternate outfits, additional expressions/animations/assets.I try my best to take in returning client requests, however it is highly recommended to reach out to me early if you have plans to avoid scheduling issues. Returning clients are free to contact me through DMs for inquiries or future updates.- How fast are your rush orders and how much do you charge for them?
If scheduling permits, I will pause my active commission and work on your order immediately. How fast depends on my current schedule and what is negotiated upon. The charge is dependent on the urgency of the commission with the rate starting at 1.5%.- I have a crazy idea, do you do experimental requests?
I may be open to experimental rigging work so long as the client understands that the final outcome may take extra time and may not fully reflect the initial idea.- Are you open to doing different art styles? / Do you only do anime styled models?
For art: I prefer to draw in my own style. For rigging: I am open to all art styles so long as the PSD is properly set up.- Are there requests that you outright won't take?
I do not take requests where the model art has been traced and/or the design is / has been suspected of heavily referencing existing designs from other characters / IPs or VTubers. Suggestive / risqué models may be considered on an individual basis.
