About, How I Work, & Commissions
HUMANOIDS
Fantastical beings who are not entirely human, yet feel familiar, relatable, and uniquely recognizable!
ANIMALS & CREATURES
Ranging from realistic to completely fantastical, akin to earth's animals or something to entirely alien, the possibilities for these critters are limitless!
ILLUSTRATIONS
Character-centric, focused on expressing their backstory, emotions, and design, using lighting, color, and symbolic elements in their environment.
About me & my process
I’m LunarCrows, a digital artist with a focus in the area of creature/character designs and storytelling through illustration in a semi-realistic style.I specialize in felines, canines, and draconic creatures!I am passionate about bringing characters and stories onto the page, whether that be via writing or visual development and storytelling.I can help you in a variety of ways, whether that be brainstorming with you & sketching your ideas, or illustrating a more refined concept! If given free reign, I will put my all into making you something that'll fit perfectly into your project!I love to build connections and collaborate with commissioners, bringing my genuine care into your projects and making them as best as we can! I send progress updates frequently (or however often as requested) and value clear and easygoing communication.

What species can I draw?Pretty much anything! I’ll rarely turn down a species. There’s not anything I’m convinced I won't be able to find a way to draw!A list of the main species I draw, in order from most often to least often:– Felines
– Canines
– Dragons
– Anthros
– Centaurs
– Other fantasy/made up creatures
– Humanoids (human or human resembling)If there is still something that you’re particularly interested in and I don’t have it listed, don’t worry! I’m open to discussing other options! This is just to share all the main things I'm offering.
What will I NOT draw?– Sexual content– Real-life people (with the exception of photo references being used for facial features)– Content aimed to be derogatory or harmful in any way toward other individuals or groups– Political content– Illegal content– Characters associated with anyone who has engaged in severe discourse or has otherwise been involved in harmful behaviorsI can answer questions/give clarification for anything needed about this!
What is the turnaround time for commissions?Depending on commission type and the current queue, 1 week-1 month is the estimate. Some commissions may end up taking less than a week, however!
Will I receive work-in-progress updates?Yes! As many as you’d like! I send WIPs for approval along the way, and I can send any additional updates you’d like to have.
Terms and ConditionsPayments
– Payments will be made via ko-fi or paypal through Goods & Services.– Payment will be received in full before I begin on the commission.– Payment plans can be made for orders of multiple pieces. Each individual artwork will be paid for in full before I begin on a piece.Refunds
– Full refunds can only be made if I haven’t begun yet!– If you change your mind and want to back out during the sketching/initial phase, then only a small/partial refund can be given (the sum of the add-ons, if there were any). If there were no add-ons and only the base price was paid, then no refunds can be given. If I have progressed beyond the initial stages of sketching, there can be no refunds.Changes
– In the case that you change your mind about what you want your commission to be, you can modify your request at any time before I start on the piece. Keep in mind that this may either increase or decrease the price.– At any point once progress has begun, if you’d like to add something/upgrade your commission, then I can include them, as long as you pay the fee of the add-ons. However, I cannot provide refunds for downgrades/the removal of add-ons after they’ve been added in the piece.– Once I start working on the piece, some changes may be much more difficult to make. I’m happy to make minor modifications within reason. Significant changes may require additional fees or an entirely new commission to be paid for.Other
– Making other designs that are purposefully extremely similar to the one(s) you purchased from me, with the intention of selling/trading/giving them away, is prohibited. There is an exception to this in the specific case that characters designed by me are having offspring in a particular setting: i.e. a roleplay, and are not being exchanged for real currency - however, still do refrain from making carbon copies or near-spitting images of the original design. Offspring can take notes of inspiration from the design, but not replicating them.
Legal Information– These commissions are intended for non-commercial purposes.– For commercial use, an extra fee will have to be paid, which’ll be discussed on a case by case basis.– You may not legally exchange, resell or otherwise profit off of my art in any way or form, physically or digitally, without expressed written permission from me.– Using my art for NFTs or training AI models is strictly prohibited.– Commissions received from me cannot be claimed as having been created by anyone other than myself.– Character designs may not be resold for more than what you paid for them, if no additional art is acquired of them.– Character designs you purchase from me can be altered if desired, however, I must always remain credited for the parts of the design I created.– Commissions cannot be used by the commissioner for marketing and/or advertisement purposes without expressed written permission from me.– I retain the rights to use any art or designs I created for the intents and purposes of marketing and/or advertisement, as examples of commissions.
