Status and Queue

Working hard to get through my queue

art assistant job
I have jobs as a comic art assistant, progress may be slow sometimes. These jobs are my #1 priority for art due to the time sensitivity.
updates:2/19 I just got back from my trip and will resume working now! I finished 2 customs in January. I have also updated the order slightly but I am still working according to the plan I sent all clients. Theres a few I still need to make sketch edits for.3/20 I apologize for the silence this past month! I just finished one of my biggest customs yet which took a lot more time than I anticipated... But now that's it's done, I am resuming work on all the other customs! I will try to send an update directly to every client within a week.
I am also going to make an adopt or 2 this month for life expenses;;

TOS Menu

TOS for art commissions and about art use:

TOS for design use
(please read if you own one of my designs!):


Design TOS

DESIGN EDITS
You may change the design as much as you like, example: clothing, colors, gender, species (ask about cs/closed species) etc. You MUST still credit me as the original designer even if the character's design has drastically changed. Crediting/adding other designers is OK if they worked on a redesign.
DESIGN TRANSFERS/SELLING
Trading and gifting the design is completely fine. If you would like to raffle the design, ask me first. If you received the design from gift, for free, or from raffle, you are not allowed to sell/trade unless extra art has been added on. Do not sell the design for more than you bought it for unless extra art was made during your time of ownership. Art that adds worth has to either be commissioned or your own art, gifted art does not add worth. traded art does not add money worth.
(for Toyhouse users) I will create a profile for you once the design is completed. Please do not private or put my designs on authorize. If you feel like you really need to private a design, please reach out to me about it first. I would appreciate being authorized for auth only characters or being given a "key" link. DO NOT DELETE MY DESIGNS!(for off-site owners) If you get a Toyhou.se account in the future I may have a design profile already made for you so do reach out to me!
If the design has a new owner please remember to send them my TOS and then let me know who the new owner is.
USE OF ARTWORK
Do not use my art for AI training or put my art in any AI for any reason.
I am completely fine with you using the art as a profile banner, profile picture, or other personal use (credit is preferred). You may repost it but it MUST have credit and/or link back to any of my socials.
Do not sell my artwork as an NFT or anything similar for any reason.
If you would like to edit something yourself on my work please ask first. If you need any specific versions of the art feel free to reach out to me too!
when purchasing commercial use it is only for the design. Please do not use the design's artwork for things like merchandise.Any further questions, feel free to ask.

If I see you using the character in a way I would view profitable, I may request commercial payment or for you to stop using the design as so.


Art TOS

USE OF ARTWORKDo not use my art for AI training or put my art in any AI for any reasonDo not sell my artwork as an NFT or anything similar for any reason.If the art was commissioned by you or it includes your character, I am completely fine with you using it as a profile banner, profile picture, or other personal use (credit is preferred).

When the commission is finished I can send it to you via email or Discord DMs for best quality.I may use the commission artwork to promote myself/artwork. I may post this artwork on any platform (with watermark and lowered resolution) I may post it full resolution without watermark on my Patreon and Discord server boosters channel. commercial commissions are allowed NDA.I work on all accepted commissions at the same time. I will always keep you updated on how long you will be waiting. You can also see my queue for updates.You may ask for WIP at anytime but PLEASE DO NOT pester me about it constantly (ex: sending me a message every single day asking for an update) it stresses me out and makes the whole commission process very unenjoyable.


FAQ

"when are your commissions opening again?"

(updated 2/19/2026) Summer at the earliest, but it's more likely I won't open again until near the end of 2026. I have a very long queue and don't want to open anymore commissions until I have most of it or all of it done. I would also like to do more adoptable designs rather than custom ones


"Can you let me know when your commissions are open again?"

I can not personally let you know, you have to join my discord server for the commission ping. I have terrible memory and don't do any pinglists! Join my Discord for notifications/pings!!


"Can I get a drawing of a preexisting character in this format?" / "Do you do reference sheet commissions?" / "Sketch pages?"

I do not. I've had a few people now ask if I do reference sheet commissions/sketch pages similar to how I format my adoptable/designs. While I do not do reference sheet comms, I can do redesigns or outfit designs for an already existing character for the same price as my normal customs. Just submit the details next time I'm open for design comms!Also, I do not mind if people take inspiration from how I format my designs!!


"Do you do chibi commissions?"

I do not. I feel like my chibis are too inconsistent to add that as a commission option... Maybe in the future


"Will you ever do comic commissions?"

Never. Sorry...


"Can we do an art trade?"

(CLOSED atm - not accepting any trades until my queue is clear) I only do art trades with close friends. but If we are mutuals, still feel free to ask. But if we are not mutuals/friends the answer is no... (same with art collabs)


"can you teach me how to draw like you?"

Sorry, no... I'm not a teacher and I'm self taught. I don't know what to tell you other than draw a lot!!!
though, I can recommend checking out Naoki Saito's videos for tips to get better at art, its free on Youtube! (@saitonaoki2)


"Hi how are you?" (small talking)

I do not like small talk. If you have a question, please get straight to the point. Otherwise I will ignore your message;


"Can we be friends?" (or mutuals/oomfs)

DMs asking to be friends like this makes me uncomfortable... So please do not ask this.

AUCTIONS

Always beware of scammers/impersonators! I will never discuss payment in comments/replies. My Discord and Toyhouse is @naniku, My Twitter is @nikunaniku. If you receive a DM about payment from any account other than those 3, IT IS NOT ME!


TERMS for anyone unfamiliarSB: starting bid
MI: minimum bid increase
AB: auto buy
AB2: a second AB at a higher price (usually including commercial use with it) AB2 CAN override AB1 in my auctions!!"AB TBA": AB has not been set yet. I send updates in my Discord server #announcements channel on when I plan to release the AB. I will ping @adopt updates when the AB has been added and available to claim.


You are not allowed to bid/buy another one of my designs if you have a payment plan with me already. please finish paying for the design before bidding on anotherAUCTION RULES
please bid in a chain by replying to the comment with the highest bid. I will hold a chain on Toyhou.se and Twitter thread and do my best to keep both updated.
You do not need a Toyhou.se account to buy and own one of my designs!
Private bids I accept in Discord DMs or Twitter DMs. I am not checking anywhere else! Priv bids are anonymous.
If I don't see your DM right away, I am likely asleep.
If someone fails to pay, I will go with the last highest bid or reopen the auction/adopt depending.COMMERCIAL USE
my adopts are all personal use unless you purchase commercial use! Commercial use for new adopts is +$150.
Please do not include the commercial use amount in your bid since the bid chain is personal use at default. Let me know after the auction is closed if you would like to purchase commercial use. (this is in the case that an AB is not placed. Otherwise you just AB2)
commercial use is more expensive if you buy it later! (see design TOS)AUCTION DURATION
Auction will end 24-48 hours (not specific) after last bid or immediately after AB.
PLEASE REMEMBER TO READ MY DESIGN TOS!


PAYMENTS

- Cash App ($naaniku - 2 a's!!)
anything else is not me.
ALL PAYMENTS ARE FINAL
when the design is fully paid for - no refunds are accepted at all no matter the situation!!!
ghosting or blocking before payment or mid payment plan will result in cancelation and blacklisting from all my designs and commissions. I WILL NOT REFUND ANYTHING.PAYMENT PLANS
Payment plans are accepted as long as at least the SB amount is paid within 24 hours (non refundable) and I receive at least $350 a month. I will not lower this minimum, so please make sure that amount is possible for you before bidding.
Please remember all payments are final. If there is an emergency where you are unable to make a payment, a pause in the payment plan can be discussed. Partial refunds may be discussed depending on the situation (NOT GUARANTEED).
Please do not commission any art of the design until payment plan is 100% complete. Even if I give you the files early on.
