Hello, I am Minka! This page is for information on my art commissions!-About Me:

I am a mixed race (African American and Caucasian) artist who loves to draw cute and adorable things! Especially Pokémon! I have a bachelor’s degree in General Studio Art. I’m fine with any pronouns being used on me - but my preferred ones are they/them! I identify as non-binary and asexual.

TERMS OF SERVICE

By purchasing my art services or adoptables, you agree to the following conditions.
Please read this entirely and carefully. I will deny your request if I see you didn’t read this.
If there are any questions or concerns, feel free to contact me.

PAYMENT

❖ For commissions and adoptables, I take Paypal, Cashapp, or Venmo only.❖ All Paypal payments will be made through invoice method unless otherwise specified by me. I will invoice you. DO NOT send me any payment if I am sending you an invoice, it will be refunded.❖ Payment is due in full up front for any commissions. Payment Plans can be discussed for larger commissions. We can also discuss 50/50 payment, where you pay 50% up front, and the other 50% once you get and approve the commission sketch. (50/50 payment does NOT apply for sketch commissions.)❖ I give refunds only if I have NOT started your commission yet. Depending on what stage it is at, you will only get a partial refund. Additionally, if the commission is over $100 and you request a refund, you will not be able to commission me again.❖ Once the work is completed I will not give refunds. Changes wanted are subject to fees.

ARTIST'S RIGHTS

By commissioning me, you’re purchasing my artist labor only. I retain all copyrights over my work and can use the image as a sample for sales/self-promotion, unless otherwise agreed upon.❖ I will respect your request to not publicly post your commission. No explanation necessary.❖ I cannot claim the Intellectual Property or reuse/resell the image for personal and commercial projects unless it was agreed upon.❖ I reserve the right to reject your commission proposal. Usually, I will explain why.❖ I reserve the right to modify and resell any rejected sketches as "pre-posed" at a later date.

COMMISSIONER'S RIGHTS

The commissioner may upload the work done for them to their site as long as it is credited and linked back to any of my galleries. Once a piece is commissioned, you may use it for any personal use that you please, including but not limited to icons, signatures, layouts, wallpapers, themes and personal site display.❖ You retain the rights to the IP.❖ You may not claim the work to be your own, edit or set it up for redistribution. You may not use it for any commercial purposes, unless otherwise agreed upon.❖ If you are looking for something to redistribute, reproduce, use for your project(s), as an ad, for a video, to resell at conventions etc. Speak to me for information on royalty fees.❖ If you are not sure whether your request counts as personal, feel free to ask me about its intended use.❖ This DOES NOT include turning/using my work for Blockchain Technologies (see below for more information on that)

PROCEDURE

Preface. You understand that Minka is not working with only your priorities in mind. I will always do my best to get commissions done in a timely manner, but I am disabled and this may contribute to any lateness. You may ask me for updates at any time, but please make sure to check my trello for your position in my Queue.❖ After payment is received: I will sketch, color and paint depending on your commission type.❖ Please have clear references of your characters. Flat colored, non textured images work the best. Complex characters will have an upcharge depending on complexity.❖ Work in progresses (or WIPs) will be sent to the commissioner for approval before I continue. The WIPs I show are the sketch, and then the final product. If you would like to request more stages (such as lineart, flat colors, etc) please let me know when you commission me.❖ For larger, full color commissions or adoptables, you may ask for bigger changes before approving the final product. I am pretty lenient on how many changes I will make, but if you are asking for too many changes there will be an upcharge for every change after that. Price depends on what you want changed.❖ Please be clear and concise in your description of the change. You can use other works and photos you like as references for the changes! You may even draw over my artwork to show exactly what you mean.❖ I will always give you the final artwork for approval. I will also fix any color errors of your character! Please let me know if I have made any mistakes. Anything that needs to be fixed on my mistake, as it was on your reference(s) and I missed it, will always be fixed for free. Any changes asked for AFTER everything is already approved will incur extra charges.❖ A full size, non watermarked image will be given to the commissioner.

I DO NOT DRAW

- Anything Sexual / NSFW
- Anything Illegal (Ex. Pedophilia)
- Anything I am uncomfortable with drawing.
If you're not sure if I'd accept your idea, please elaborate on your request privately.

Commission Prices

NOTES:
1. Prices are per character. This means that for each character you want in the artwork will cost the same. So if you want two fullbodies in one drawing, it will be $65 + $65, so $130.
---
2. Price will increase depending on the complexity of what is wanted. The prices listed below are just the base prices.
---
3. Backgrounds and animations are not included in the art. These are extra, price varies depending on what you want for it.
---
4. Please make sure you are financially okay before you commission me. I do allow refunds if I haven't started and partial if I have, but if the commission is over $100 and you request a refund, you will not be allowed to commission me again, as this puts me in a very rough place myself, since this is my only job. So please be 100% sure you want the commission(s)!
---
5. I offer rush fees if you want your commission done sooner. This is money on top of the commission price I quote you for, and are set additions to the price. However, there are a couple of things to know beforehand. The rush fee puts you at a priority, and the art will usually be done within a week (maybe two) if all goes well, if not the same day. The rush fee does not apply if you commission me a month in advance to the deadline you want. For example, if you wanted something done by October 17th, you'd commission me around September 19th. Anytime after that, the rush fee will apply!
