I've previously worked on Twitch emotes, Telegram stickers, uniquely stylized artwork, animation, and more!
I love taking on new projects. Keep in mind, prices will depend on the type of artwork and details you're looking for. Hourly rate starts at $14 per hour. Animated commissions are valued at a price of $25 per hour of work.


Terms of Service

Last updated: 22/12/2023. Fixed formatting and wording.


#1: General information

  1. I reserve myself the right to decline any commission request and/or cancel a commission slot for any justifiable reason.

  2. I will not be responsible for any errors in the final product due to missing or incorrect information from the client, such as (but not limited to): a character's design, clothes; environmental details or colours; any relevant details to the character and/or scene being portrayed. My process includes several instances to ask for corrections, which include screenshots of my progress - make sure to make any corrections during the appropriate stages, as outlined in section #4.

  3. I work Monday-Friday, typically from 10am to 7pm (GMT-3). I am disabled. I may work at a slower or faster rate depending on my health. I’m also a University student, as so my workflow may be affected by my studies. Feel free to ask for status updates at any time! I send screenshots whenever significant progress has been made, but you can request a status update whenever you wish. However, keep in mind artists are not machines: I may not have any updates to report if you ask for them too frequently.

  4. Depending on the nature or contents of your commission, you may need to provide proof that you're 18 or older. This may involve you sharing a picture of your ID, license, or passport; the only information that needs to be visible is your date of birth. Make sure to also include a piece of paper with your handle and the current date written on it to verify its authenticity.


#2: Contact

  1. Feel free to contact me for commissions through any of my contact media,and please only use one. For example, if you're commissioning me through Telegram, please refrain from suddenly asking for updates through Discord. I may make exceptions based on the situation (loss of access to an account, for example).

  2. All communication regarding a commission will be held in private for the safety of all parties. All personal, identifying information will be kept private, and won't be discussed with any third parties.

Artwork depicting symbols of LGBTQIA+ pride, and protest.Artwork for commercial use.Artwork depicting discrimination, the police, and/or the military that is not meant as a protest piece.

#4: The commission process

  1. Once commission details have been discussed, I will tentatively add you, the commissioner, to my queue, and will send you a Paypal invoice.

  2. Once the invoice has been paid and I confirm I've received your payment, I will officially add you to my queue. My queue is publicly available, you can access it at any point here.

  3. Clients will get Work In Progress screenshots (WIPs) at all points during the commissioning process, which may or may not have watermarks across them, to make sure the commission is coming out the way they want it. Please make sure to answer your messages in a timely manner so I can keep working - I can't work in your commission unless I'm told everything looks good to go! You will get screenshots during all these phases: base sketch, cleaned sketch, lineart, colouring, shading, and detailing. I will also send you screenshots if I'm having difficulties nailing the details of a particular part of the commission, or if I'm needing extra input to choose between two or more options.

  4. Clients can ask for 2 major corrections and 5 minor corrections to their drawing while it’s still a sketch. Clients can ask for 3 corrections on the lineart. Corrections to base colours can be done at no extra cost. Clients will need to pay extra if they need more corrections than the amount listed here, due to the extra time and effort that goes into them. Make sure to have a clear idea of what you want before asking for a correction.

  5. The buyer will get a full resolution .png of their commission once it's been finished, either via Telegram, Dropbox, Discord, or email.

  6. Once it’s been stated that a commission has been finished, no further free corrections will be accepted. Corrections will only be done for an extra cost.

  7. All commissions have the potential to be posted to my art pages and social media, at my discretion. Clients can ask to not be named/tagged if they specifically don't want to be. Clients can also ask for their commission to not be posted until a certain date has passed (for example, a birthday, Christmas, an anniversary…). If a commission is not to be posted anywhere, this has to be arranged previous to the commission being paid for, no exceptions.


#5: Payment

  1. All payments are to be made in full in US$ (United States Dollars), through PayPal invoices. You do not need a PayPal account to receive and pay PayPal invoices, all you need is an email address to send the invoice to.

  2. Clients have up to 10 days to pay for their invoice. If they can’t pay by then, the invoice will expire and the client will lose their spot in the queue. If you need more time to pay for the invoice, let me know!

  3. Payment plans of up to a month are available for commissions over $250.

  4. I will only start working after 100% of the payment has gone through.

  5. If you want an art piece on a quick notice (1-7 days after payment has gone through), you will have to pay an additional 50%-75% rush fee depending on the complexity of the commission.

  6. Commissions for commercial use and private commissions (to not be shared anywhere at any point in time) will be discussed in private on a case-by-case basis.

  7. Commissions, depending on the type, my queue, and personal circumstances, may take anywhere from 2 days to 6 months to be finished after payment has been received. However, they usually take between 3 days and 3 weeks to be finished. See General Information #3.


#6: Cancellations and refunds

  1. If you have claimed your slot, yet I haven’t started working on your commission yet, you may be entitled to a 100% refund.

  2. If the commission is in sketch state and you wish to cancel it, you may be entitled to a 50% refund.

  3. If I’ve already moved past the sketch and have started working on the lineart, base colours, and/or background, you will not be entitled to a refund. If you wish, I can send you a full resolution .png of what I managed to work on before it was cancelled.

  4. I reserve the right to decide to cancel your commission and give you a full refund if I'm unable to finish your art piece.

  5. Depending on the state of the commission at the time it's cancelled, I reserve myself the right to edit the artwork to possibly resell it. It won't hold any resemblance to the original design, to not cause confusion.

  6. Depending on when the refund is asked for, I may not be able to offer an instant refund, it may take me a few days or weeks to have the money to give back again. Commissions are my only source of income, and so I may not always have the money on hand to refund you right away, but rest assured I will refund you as soon as possible.

  7. Refunds will be managed by myself, and will be discussed in private before they’re able to be done. Please don’t initiate a PayPal dispute - everything can be negotiated. I, as the person who sent out the invoice, have a "refund" button that automatically gives back all the money paid in an invoice. The time it takes for your refund to be processed will depend on what you used to pay the commission (Paypal balance, card, bank transfer...), and it outside my control.


#7: Usage of imagery

  1. I reserve full rights to the images produced for clients, their distribution and use, unless otherwise specified. Commissions will not be used for profit by any party unless previously discussed.

  2. The commissioner may use the artwork produced for them to their leisure, providing proper credit to the original artist: me.

  3. Commissions are meant for the person or people paying for them, and as so they are the only official other party allowed to distribute the artwork.

  4. None of these things can be done to my art: erasing the signature; claiming it as artwork made by anyone other than me; heavily altering or editing the image without previous approval, removing it from its original context; selling it or otherwise profiting off it in any way unless previously specified and agreed upon.

  5. Nothing made by me (Valen, Valen’s Art Den, Valen Rambles...) may be used in any blockchain-related and/or AI-related technology, to include NFTs, cryptocurrency, art AI training, or any other present or future inventions or developments in these spaces.


#8: Final notes

  1. By commissioning me, you agree and abide by these terms of service.

  2. By commissioning me, you agree that breaking any of these terms and conditions could result in being blacklisted from commissioning me.

  3. By commissioning me, you agree that breaking any of these terms and conditions, depending on the corcimstances, could result in public measures, such as call-outs and beware posts, to ensure the safety of other artists.


Here's the websites you can find me - and my art - at! This list may change in the future as I try different platforms.


To commission me, please contact me through Discord, Telegram, or Tumblr. I'll get back to you as soon as possible! Commission inquiries only.Remember to include the commission type you're looking for alongside a reference of the character or characters you'd like me to draw, to speed up the commission process!


On NSFW artwork...

My NSFW art will become available on Inkblot and Itaku at some point in the future, both of which require you to confirm you're 18 or older to see them. As of 01/03/23, I am far too busy to upload the backlog, however I will do my best to find a way to efficiently queue and post these automatically, as doing so manually requires an amount of time I simply do not have.It's no secret that it's becoming progressively harder for artists to find venues through which we can post such content online. Whether it's me or another artist you enjoy, remember to support us.Remember that you will need to provide proof you're 18 or older if you wish to commission NSFW, read the Terms of Service for more information.
