Please read this text before contacting the artist for a commission.
The buyer understands that they are paying not only for the artwork and the tools, equipment, or materials used, but also for the artist's experience and time spent working.Commissioners must be age 18 or older. If the potential buyer is below the age of 18, they must have a parent or guardian handle the commissioning for them.When a buyer enters into a commission with the artist, they agree by these terms.At Will Work & Refunds
Section Summary
The artist retains the right to cancel commissions, issuing refunds as needed. Plus, ghosting the artist gets your commission suspended with no refunds, to be continued when contact resumes. Deadlines cost extra.1.1) Commissions are accepted At Will. The artist reserves the right to cancel a commission for any reason. Refunds will be issued for the portion of work not completed. Completed portions will be made digitally available to the commissioner.1.2) Buyers who do not reply to emails or messenger contacts within 30 days will be considered to have suspended their commission. No refund will be issued. The commission can be resumed at a later date when the commissioner regains contact. However, the scheduling of the continuation will depend upon the artist's current workload.1.3) Deadlines incur rush fees proportionate to the timeline and commission type.Revisions
Section Summary
Revisions are limited to a set number per commission type, with charges incurred for excessive revisions. Approving moves onto the next step of the commission. The artist decides the definition of minor vs major revisions.2.1) For commissions paying less than $100, large revisions (such as a full change of pose beyond very minor things) will be limited to no more than one (1) during the sketch phase. Further major revisions will incur additional fees proportionate to the revision's complication. The number of revision on commissions paying above $100 will depend upon each project.2.2) Regardless of the commission type, once the sketch has been approved, the sketch will not be re-sketched or altered. Approval by the commissioner is a signal to move on to the next phase of the commission.2.3) Minor revisions are allowed during the commission process. During the sketch phase, adding or removing simple details are considered minor revisions. During the ink and color stage, the definition of minor revisions becomes much tighter.2.4) It is up to the artist’s discretion as to what constitutes a major or minor revision.Mature Work
Section Summary
You must be 18+ to commission NSFW artwork. Characters must be 18+ and appear 18+. The artist will decline to draw NSFW content of a type that falls outside of her comfort zone.3.1) The artist will not, under any circumstances, do mature/adult artwork for anyone under the age of 18.3.2) Due to personal comfort, the artist will not, under any circumstances, do mature/adult artwork of characters who are below the age of 18 or characters who are of a fantasy race that resembles children, such as Lalafel from Final Fantasy XIV. It is up to the artist's discretion what fits in this category.3.3) Additionally, the artist refuses to draw any adult oriented materials that are outside of her comfort zone. You will be informed if your commission request is outside of the artist's comfort zone. You may be offered alternatives that are within the comfort zone.Payment
Section Summary
Payment is due when the sketch is approved and work will not continue until it is paid.4.1) For sketch works: payment is due when the base sketch is approved.
For ink or color works: payment is due when the sketch is approved.
Work will not resume until payment is received unless the commissioner is a trusted repeat buyer.Copyrights
Section Summary
These are non-commercial commissions, meaning that they are not for commercial use and are therefore steeply discounted from commercial pricing. The commissioner is granted a life-time license to use and share the art so long as it is not for profit. Commissioned art may not be used for NFTs or similar technologies.5.1) These commissions are NON COMMERCIAL USE ONLY. The artist retains the copyright to all work unless otherwise specifically agreed upon and stated. Artwork done by the artist is copyright to the artist unless the buyer also purchases the copyright of the image. Commissioned images done after the date of September 13th 2006 may be made available as prints or any other form of merchandise by the artist unless the commissioner purchases the copyright.NOTE: Commercial commissions have different prices from non-commercial commissions.5.2) Commissioned images may not be used for commercial purposes without the written consent of the artist or the copyright of the image being purchased by the commissioner. Commissioners may not sell prints or any other form of merchandise of the commission without purchasing a license or the copyright of the image first.5.3) The commissioner is granted a lifetime non-commercial license to display, alter, upload, transmit, publicly display or perform, print for non-profit purposes, or otherwise use the commissioned artwork for non-commercial purposes. This means that commissioned images may be used, by the buyer, for personal avatars (such as on websites, social media, messenger services, etc), personal (non commercial) website layouts, personal printing (including use of a professional printer service for a private copy), and other personal, private, non-commercial uses.5.4) The price of purchasing the copyright depends upon the intended use and type of piece. Please speak with the artist if interested.5.5) Digital only pieces (such as emoji or Furcadia portraits, etc) may not, under any circumstances, be resold, unless the copyright of the digital only image was originally purchased from the artist. This includes use as things such as paywall downloads and patreon perks.5.6) Under no circumstances may my art be used for Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) or any similar technologies that may arise.References and Desired Style
Section Summary
Share references if you have them. Be familiar with the artist's style and set your expectations based on commission samples.6.1) Any specific reference materials which the buyer desires to be used by the artist must be provided by the buyer. If no references are given, the artist is free to depict the described and unreferenced elements however she imagines.6.2) Please be familiar with the artist's art style and drawing preferences before commissioning her. Try to keep the desired results reasonable. The artist has her own style and drawing preferences; do not expect to get work of a caliber beyond what you can find in her gallery, as this is her art style and level of ability at the time.

alphieHi, I'm Alphie. I used to go by Ridia, so my oldest galleries still have the old name.I started drawing in my late teens, and spent a few years as a freelance artist in the furry community. When I found full time work with my present employer, I ended up stopping my freelancing for several years.Now that I have a mortgage, I'm ready to take the freelancing back up!

I will decide whether to accept your commission or not.Step 4:Once your commission has been accepted and payment schedule has been agreed upon, sketching will begin. The most common payment schedule is payment due once the sketch has been approved.Step 5: Your commission will be iterated on during the process to ensure you're happy with the direction it's going in. Once the commission is completed and fully paid you will be given a digital copy.
