So, what does your commission earnings go towards?
MONETARY GOAL: To help pay rent. I live in CA [yeah yeah...] and our rent is kind of crazy.
All income earned from commissions will be used towards upkeep of my home life; rent, bills, food, etc.

{ Additional income earned doing commissions help me pay the bills associated with my domain and/or art supply costs. }

So commissioning helps me out in many many ways, like keeping me sane, and I'm honored for your interest!
Now, if you're unable to commission me yourself, even sharing my information with your peers is appreciated!

Frequently Asked Questions
If you have any questions feel free to reach
out to me on Twitter @ twitter.com/karnizarchada/
I only accept commission requests via my site's mail form.

Check out my "Commission Info & Tips" post on my Tumblr!

Q:   "Why did you increase prices? / Why are your prices so low?"
A:   I try to price my works to reflect the quality that I produce.
And I already know I undercharge MASSIVELY compared to other artists; it's a sad reality when you are fairly unknown... XD;;

Q:   "Why do you offer so many CGing types?"
A:   I want to offer the most variety to give the commissioneer the most options for their order. I have strengths as an artist in the way I render my works and while I may have the most strengths in cel-shaded illustration not everyone may like the way it looks. Therefore it's best that I offer types and levels of detail to give a variety in price point and style for each person interested in commissioning me.

Q:   "Are you available for commissions right now?"
A:   Please check the main page for the link to the forms, if the form is available - I'm open for a commission! If not, please read below.

Q:   "When will you be open again for commissions?"
A:   If I am currently working on a queue I do not know when I'll be accepting more. Factors like time spent on a commission due to details and the frequency of the replies I get from the commissioneer can affect how long it takes for me to work thru a current queue.

Q:   "When does your queue go live?"
A:   Typically within day or two of reopening I'll post something on my Twitter and Tumblr.

Q:   "Can you e-mail me when you're open again?" and "Can I be put on a waitlist?"
A:   Sadly no, I believe in a first-come-first-served basis.

Q:   "Why did you reject my request?"
A:   A rejection of an application could mean any of the following; Did not include enough reference, falls under any of the "I Will Not Draw" catagory, I do not like the subject of your request, and/or you are on my Work-Avoid List.

• • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

Q:   "What is your working schedule?"
A:   I typically work from 11PM~3AM on my "Work Days".
Currently, "Daytime Work" happens sporatically and isn't reliable. I am a full time mom so that job comes first. My 'weekend' starts Wednesday evening and work continues Friday evening. My days off are spent as time w/ my family and to de-stress.

Q:   "Why haven't you replied to me, it's been a week!?"
A:   As I've said in various places on this site as well as the commission form - I have very little freetime. I'm a full time mom and I take care of my child during the day. If my last progress update to you lands on a Tuesday night/Wednesday morning do not expect anything new til Sunday. See my schedule question above for details.

Q:   "Are you available to work on a long-term project?"
A:   Due to my schedule I am unable to work on anything that requires a strict deadline. If you want to hire me for one-shot projects or a piece here and there then please inquire! [karniz.noizmaker@gmail.com] Please note that I charge a different rate when I am hired for projects that are not strictly for personal use.

Q:   "There is a Person/Character I see you did art for/of, and they're actually a problematic person online..."
A:   Thank you for letting me know! I am first and foremost intolerant of bigots, assholes, and closed-minded people. So PLEASE let me know if anyone I work with falls under those things and I will remove their works from my portfolios and add them to my Work-Avoid list!

I want to make it clear that I am inclusive illustrator and I support the LGBTQIA+ Community!

If you do not like that do not work with me.

commission steps

This is the basics of the process of me working on an illustration for a commission.
Aspects like me checking in and looking for approval for stages typically happens more often than shown.
{ Each commission request is handled differently so your experience may vary }

additional details


FAILURE TO KEEP IN CONTACT / BEING VAGUE IN YOUR REQUEST: I will always attempt to work with you; but if you are hard to work with, are indecisive, or fail to keep in contact with me I may terminate your commission request. If you are unable to respond due to reasons please let me know as soon as possible. If I am unable to get in contact with you and the commission is already paid for in full I will do my best to supply a finished product to you based on the information I was given. When this occurs I am in no way responsible if you are not satisfied with the finished product. On being hard to work with/indecisive I will do my best to work with you but I will have to put my foot down when need be.


METHOD OF PAYMENT: I only accept payments through PayPal in US Currency. An invoice will be sent to the e-mail provided in the form. Prices are subject to change, but never after I give you a quote [Unless excessive additional changes are made]. I will quote you before major work begins. Prices are non-negotiable. I reserve the right to have personal time during/between commissions if need be but will work quicky and efficiently when I can.

Reference Requirements

If you are unsure if the references you are sending are sufficent please use these as guidelines/examples.
It may not be the same requirements for all commission artists, but this is what I prefer.
{ These also increase your chances of your request being accepted }

If you are new to requesting commissions from artists or are unsure how I work,
you may want to check out my "Commission Tips" post on Tumblr, if you haven't already.

Examples shown are screenshots of my own character in FFXIV.
These suggestions are pretty unanimous no matter what MMO it is.


Size and Scale Examples


Lighting Examples

If you need additional assistance in getting better screenshots of your character
Google is your friend. There are LOTS of people that have made very indepth guides
for various MMO's/Games on how to get good reference screenshots.


ANY MMO-TYPE CHARACTER: If you are requesting your RP character PLEASE supply me with as much detail as possible; large, clear, and well-lit reference screenshots of the characters face/body & clothing/armor/etc., multiple angles, plus details to aspects like scars/facial marks etc are very important. Links to screenshot dumps or a character page with the references is preferred.

{ PLEASE NOTE - I do NOT need your characters indepth backstory!!! }
Please refrain from sending/linking me a four-paged biography of your character
that I have to read through to get their physical descriptors.
I hate this. And it happens more often than I'd like...

Failure to supply me with proper references will result in me rejecting your commission request.


KNOW WHAT YOU WANT AHEAD OF TIME: While I understand that ideas can change over time, please know what you want before submitting a commission request. Please refrain from linking multiple 'looks/outfits' at me and then asking me to choose "whichever one I like the most". The same goes with poses/expressions. Typical length of time from start to finish on a commission is three 'working days'. [day 1 - sketches & roughs, day 2 - line art, day 3 - colors and finale.]



Here are samples of past commissions I've done as well as other coloring styles.
You can view more examples on my DeviantART gallery or my Tumblr.

By sending a commission form and paying my invoice you are digitally signing/agreeing to my disclaimer, so please read and understand everything within my disclaimer before doing so. Please keep in mind that the Terms and usage rights detailed below stay intact for all periods before, during, and after the commission process is complete.

Edits and alterations to the disclaimer can be made at any time and
illustrations done in the past are retroactively updated to the current Disclaimer.


Definitions:
Commissionee - Person intiated the commission; you.
Commissioner/er - The artist; me.

  1. Artist Ownership
     The artist retains ownership of all art drawn. This includes all starting stages [planning, sketching, works in progress, and the line art] including the final product. The works in any form may not be altered by the commissionee or any other parties collaberated.

    For use on social media or other sites, such things as icons or reposting of the art to a character galleries may be allowed, given the work is clearly stated to be done by the artist and with proper credit given - linking to such sites as;

    Noizmaker.net, the artist's portfolio [http://noizmaker.net/]
    Karniz @ Carrd, the artist's social media portal [http://karniz.carrd.co/]
    Tumblr [http://karniz.tumblr.com/]
    Twitter [http://twitter.com/karnizarchada/]

    Name: Karniz or Donna A. | Pronouns: She/Her

    All other forms such as e-mail address only is not considered proper credit.

    In the case of Profit; may not be obtained by the commissionee for the work done unless a previous agreement has been made by the commissioner to allow the commissionee to use the work ordered for profit. Any alteration/profit/misconduct outside of the commissioner's original agreement via the commissionee must be handled with by the originating commisionee; an additional fee will be charged if court action must take place.

  2. Copyright and Licensing
     The artist retains ownership of the copyright [provided: Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988]. Purchase of the original work does not forfeit the copyright of the art. The commissionee only retains a partial copyright to use the works for only personal use; which are provided by the commissioner in the form of unmarked printable versions of the work for personal printing. No distribution of said files/works for public use will be allowed unless an additional fee is to be applied for intended useages and must be agreed to by the commissioner prior to the commission beginning. Any attempt to reproduce any forms of the final product for non-personal use will be a breach of the disclaimer.
    Illustrations that are furnished by me as part of a commission are not to be released or resold by the original commissionee. If found to be done so I will no longer work with the misconductee.

  3. Other Media Usage
     My works are in no way shape or form allowed to be used to create or manufacture products to be sold in 'digital art marketplaces'. I do not give permission for my works in any way shape or form existing or past to be used in such a way. See above graphic for clarification.

  4. In Short: [ie, in my words...]
    You've got an idea for an illustration you want me to do? Peachy keen.

    But all I ask is that you don't go around claiming the art to be yours.
    Or that you republish my work(s) for your own personal gain.
    [I won't be doing the same as long as it's your Original Character.]

    And please don't be sneaky and hire me for a drawing, to then be used for public or commercial use, without letting me know.
    If you want to hire me to work on a project with you, just let me know first, we'll talk details.

    Also - none of the commissions I do are 'adoptables' so no, you cannot resell the illustration I did of your character even though you 'sell' them off. That's not cool. In any way.

    Please respect the artist.
