✦ Personal Projects ✦

I'm always full of ideas for new characters and stories. Over the years and since I was a child, I've been creating a lot of worlds and settings for all those characters. Eventually those ideas ended up with 3 main worlds that I hope I can develop in the near future!In my free times I try to edit my ToyHouse page to make them proper worldbuilding sites and introduce my characters!


General fantasy world setting, where elemental magic is part of everyday life for many. However, a strong anti-elementalist movement is gaining ground around the world.
Admist this context, Cendres, who is having a problematic fire sneeze, seeks help of Niru, a water elementalist, to accompany and protect him while they search for a cure.


My modern fantasy furry world! Amalgea's world divides into various stories through time, being the main stories related to the Assandor Hunters, once saviors of the world, but now just a big and feared organization of mercenaries.
The world needs help again because of the disease that was once eradicated, and only they keep the secrets to clean the rot.


Sci-fi and fantasy world! Isaac's one and only dream was to have his own isekai travel into a fantasy world, full of cute elf girls and dragons to beat!
In his quest, he became a mad scientist and managed to build a "portal between dimensions".
However, his calibration failed, and he ended up trapped in a world very similar to his own, just a bit more futuristic... full of machines, laser guns, spaceships... but at least there's an elf girl!

Terms of Service

Please read carefully before commissioning

General Info

  • I reserve the right to reject or cancel your commission.

  • I don't work with character descriptions. But you can send me collages and moodboards for me to make the design. Design might include an extra fee.

  • My working days are from Monday to Friday, and during the weekend I might not reply to your contact message (DM, email). Please, stay considerate of this.

  • Complex characters may come with an extra fee depending on personal criteria.

  • Your commission can become private for extra 50% of the total price. This way it will not be ever published on any of my social media.(*)

  • Without any additional payment we can agree to not post it before a certain date (For example, Vtuber debut, model reveal, birthday present, etc.), or I can post it stating your name as "anonymous".

(*) If later you want to "release" said commission so that both you and I can upload it to the networks, you only have to send me a note or message, but the extra amount that you were previously charged will NOT be refunded.

Work Process

  • After payment completion I will come back to you with the first sketch idea for the art. This will be a concept sketch before doing the final one, so you can change anything at this first step, with a limit of 3 big changes.

  • Reaching the cleaner sketch, I will make a maximum of 1 important change at no additional cost. From the second revision I can charge an extra fee for each change or refuse to make more changes.

  • I will send you WIPs (Work In Progress) each time I advance to the next step of the illustration. I need your explicit confirmation that everything is good to proceed.

  • For Skeb/SurpriseMe! services, no WIP will be sent, and corrections will be only allowed if I missed a certain important detail on character's design.

  • The estimated time to finish a single illustration is 10-20 working days from the moment I start working on it. If you have ordered more than one illustration or there are other orders ahead of yours, the waiting time will be longer.

  • The maximum period that I can take to place your order is 4 months (in the worst case, see, mental or physical health issues). Whenever something happens that delays the order I will keep you informed.

  • If you need the illustration to be done by a specific date (example; it is a birthday present for someone else) you must state it in form. You may be charged an extra fee for prioritizing your order, depending on the waiting list.

Refunds and Cancelling

I only make refunds in the following cases:

  1. I miss a set deadline without explanation and mutual agreement to move said deadline forward.

  2. I miss the max deadline stated on the terms, for whatever reason.

  • If you make a refund request of the payment, you will lose all rights to any image or service that I have made for you, in addition to granting me the right to sell said images to other customers.

  • After receiving a refund you will NOT receive the file of the piece I have been working on so far. I also have every right to file a complaint and I have all the right to the money you have given me if it was a forced, unjustified refund request.

  • In addition, in case of forcing the return, you will be blocked thus losing any opportunity to buy my art again (commissions, adoptables ...), and will be put on a public list, with a description and evidence of the situation, to warn other artists of potential clients that could harm them.

Personal and Commercial Use

As the artist, I’m allowed to use the artwork to:

  • Upload the image to any network of my preference.(*)

  • Use said illustration to promote myself wherever I want.(*)

  • Offer editable files on Patreon or similar platforms for educational purposes.

  • Publish books with it.

It is possible to change the license to a higher tier, but not to a lower one.(*) If you want your commission not to be uploaded to the network publicly, an extra charge of 50% of the original price will be made. This should be clarified in the form at the moment you ask for a commission.
