prices, terms of service and conditionsMake sure to agree with all of my terms and conditions before ordering a commission or asking for a reserve slot.
By ordering a commission you automatically agree to the official general terms and conditions and the rules written down on this page [section no. 8]
1. Prices • I am offering six categories of commissions: ACEOs; sketches ; A5, A4, A3 sized work and character designs.
• The prices are based on the usual time a fully illustrated work takes me, that means included a detailled background and a detailled character.
• However, the prices may vary if your character is very detailled and takes a lot of effort to get right (for example if they wear lots of accessoires, have lots of different colours etc.) The lower the price the easier your character is for me to draw. Also dragons and other winged creatures will cost a little more.
• FAQ:
"Why so expensive?" you may ask. -
"Well, I'm making part of my living from art and I'm financing art supplies and school with the money I earn from commissions. For one hour of work I usually charge 5€, so that actually IS pretty low for the wage standards, and it is even half of the wage standard here in Germany."Category a) ACEOs/ATCs/KAKAOs"An ACEO is a collectors' card with the size 6.4 x 8.9 cm /3.5 inches by 2.5 inches - the size of a trading card.

How to order? • For placing your order, send a note to my dA account or an e-mail to
kibakazuki[at]yahoo.de.
• For a better and not an endless time taking communication please include in your FIRST (/second, if you want to ask for my commission status first before sending more information, that's fine) note/e-mail:
- What category of commission you wish to order (a, b, c, d, e or f)
- How many characters you want to have included
- The species of your charcters and give links to references for them
- if necessary, a short description about you characters' personalities and specials.
- Where you live, if you want to have the original artwork shipped to you
- any other wishes about the scene, mood, poses etc. that shall be illustrated. Although I would prefer working as freely as possible, so if you want to do me a favor, just leave me work with my imagination
3. Payment • I prefer taking the payment via
paypal. If that is the case please don't forget to include your deviantART name when sending it.
• After placing your order, I will draw a sketch of your commission and show it to you asking if you're satisfied with it or not and I will, if it's necessary, redraw and edit the sketch again until it's OK for you.
The colouring will be started ONLY AFTER I received the payment.
• If your total order is 100$+ there is an option of splitting the payment to 50/50 before and after the commission is completed. I will show you a small format of the finished work and the original scanned size after the rest of the payment is sent.
• Alternate payment methods if you don't have paypal:
- bank transfer (Germany only)
- Money sent via mail
4. Shipping • Being a traditional artist mainly, I will send the original artwork to your home. After having completed your commission, you need to give me your adress and I will send your artwork away within one week - well packed and saved. All adresses will be kept for this use only and not given to anyone else.

5. Refunds and cancelling• I usually don't do refunds unless personal problems or happenings force me to cancel a commission. Please think carefully before placing your commission request, because you will not have the opportunity to cancel your commission and get refunded once the payment has been sent. However you will be fully refunded if I am the one to cancel your order.
6. What I draw/not draw• I'm sort of an universal artist which means I can handle almost any kind of creature or existing thing. However, there are things I feel unconfortable with and charge extra for subjects like those or don't draw at all, so check the following list before placing your order.
• I do:
-(fantastical) Animals,
-any creatures,
-humans,
-mechanical things,
-fanart of any character out of movies/books/ anime/etc,
-Any couple art (not depending on gender)
-Your OC with an anime/film/etc. character in a NON-relationship subject (That means drinking some beer and chilling would be fine, but not kissing or holding hands),
- a moderate amout of gore/blood,
- logos
- book covers, book illustrations (extra costs may be charged for those, though)
- Sex(ual) scenes/porn (depending on subject and how you imagine the 'scene' to be, I might charge some additional cost, though)
• I feel unconfortable with, but do it with an additional charge, depending on subject:
- strong violence (like with intestines etc),
- anything disgusting (vomiting people etc),
- advertising posters for justice/ people's rights/ animal's rights,
- Your OC with an anime/film/etc. character in a relationship subject (kissing, holding hands, etc)
• I never do commissions with:
- Political themes,
- racism,
- abstract subjects,
- advertising posters I don't agree with,
- anthing advocating cruelty to animals or people
7. Estimated waiting time• Keep in mind that I am very busy with studying and life and that I'm struggling hard to pass the current school grade. Thus I don't have as much time I would like to have to concentrate on art, so please be patient with me.
Don't estimate to receive your commission within the first month after placing your order, you can expect getting it after two to four months. Logically, when you're commissioning me with an illustration that takes lots of time and effort, it may take up to half a year, but that's rare though.
• You're free to poke me from time to time and ask about the status and WIPs, but it would be nice if you couln'd do this too often.
8. Commissioner's rights and policies.• I as artist, and only me has got the right to sell prints of the commission.
• You are not allowed to use commissioned art in commercial goals and advertising (expection is for commissioned advertising posters and book illustrations)
• It is striclty forbidden to claim the commission as your own. Only I, the artist, reserve rights to this artwork.
• You can show the drawing in your website, in forums, etc.
•You own the original art, so you can resell it or destroy it, but you cannot reproduce it.
Thanks for your support!
