What can I commission?

Please, stick to humans or semi-humans (cat ears or tails, horns and similar, nothing more. No scales, furry, tentacles or missing limbs. I accept weird skin/hair colorations).

I really want to commission a specific thing

If I won't draw it because I think it's just too gross, make an offer, I might accept it. (we're talking about 5 times the base price or more). However I won't post the picture and it will be low priority, Patreon and regular commissions come first.

How much time...?

It depends on the complexity of your commission. Animations take the longest, usually days or weeks for longer projects. A colored picture/comic page is usually done in one day.
