Darkness-Nova's commissions
X closed X
NOTICE: unless I make an opening announcement, I'm currently not taking commissions publicly, as custom commissions are currently Patreon-exclusive!
(you can find the link to it at the bottom of this page)
please read all information
Terms of Service
Currently I take payments through PayPal which has a transaction fee (around 4%), it will be added to your invoice on top of the commission price! Please keep that in mind when buying from me.- I take payment after the initial rough - we decide on what will be drawn, I do the basic sketch and send it to you, change anything if needed and you pay via PayPal invoice, alternative options can be discussed. I won't continue working until full payment (or partial payment, with bigger artworks) is received, and I will send you WIP images with progress I make (you can ask for changes then as well, though I won't do major changes during later stages of the art)- you can re-upload and use the finished commission for non-commercial and non-profit purposes, as long as proper credit is given, do NOT claim as your own art (I do not allow usage of my art for any commercial and profit activities. Do not commission me at all if you support AI, NFT or crypto.)- you are not allowed to significantly alter the artwork without my explicit permission, if there's anything you want changed during the process of me making it, I do edits for free up to a certain point (smaller edits like colors / details are always okay though)- if there are any difficulties / I'm taking too long and can't finish the piece, I will cancel your commission and give you a full refund (you can keep whatever I did have for you).- I will not accept refunds otherwise (I really do not have the time) so please be 100% sure if you want to work with me!- keep in mind that I can refuse a commission for any reason, whether I'm not comfortable drawing what you ask for or simply unable to take the commission at that time- I always show art progress to my Patreon subscribers and after the piece is done I typically upload it to my socials, you have to specify if you'd rather I don't publish it, or be marked as 'anonymous'- if a character design is too complex, I will simplify their design (if that's not allowed I'll have to refuse)- if you'd like your commission can include a character of mine, I don't charge the additional character fee in this case- prices listed below are base prices, they will increase depending on the complexity of the piece / character designBy purchasing art from me you agree to these rules and conditions.
If you break any of them you will be blacklisted.feel free to ask any questions you have, for more art examples or if something is unclear.
Please remember that I am a university student so art is only a side gig, so it can take weeks and even months for me to complete your commission, it's also difficult for me to stay motivated due to complications. And art is a major comfort hobby of mine, so please don't be upset if I draw for myself before finishing your commission. Don't worry, I never forget about owed art and will always get back to you, you can ask my previous commissioners if you'd like confirmation.

can add more upon request and additional costs
(works same as reference sheets)
I can make a more complex design for additional fees.
If possible, please provide as many references & inspirations as you can, it will help greatly with getting the result of what you're looking for!If you don't have visual references choose this instead of a reference sheet (I have to go through the process of concepting and solidifying a design to make a character from scratch). If you'd like more design examples, feel free to look at my Toyhou.se (link at the bottom)
Comic page / image sequence

Experimental art
This section includes pretty much anything you can think of that doesn't fit in the other categories. That includes for example: simplistic art, animation, sketch/doodle art, lineless art, doodle/sketch pages, heavy stylization, abstract, digital paintings, pixel art, meme drawovers, screenshot drawovers, even logos.As the name suggests though these pieces are more or less experiments as they're something I normally don't do.
Their price entirely depends on the difficulty of what you ask for and will be estimated on that.DON'T pick this category if you want a confident, professional looking result, this is only if you really want something unconventional.
BACKGROUNDSSimple backgrounds
Singular color, block shape, pattern, transparent or an image provided by you (will be edited to fit the illustration)
They come with the base prices and add no fee considering they're relatively quick to add in.Complex backgrounds
Basically scenery drawn by me, will be simplified in some ways and maybe blurry, I unfortunately don't have much experience in painting backgrounds
I charge for them accordingly:headshots / busts - 20 USD
halfbodies - 30 USD
fullbodies - 50 USD
comics - 15 USD per panel (more simplistic)X icons, chibis, reference sheets X
no complex backgrounds in themI don't do landscape art on its own, only as a background for character pieces
