Status and Queue

Working hard to get through my queue (;ŏ﹏ŏ)

[art assistant]
I have jobs as an art assistant so progress may be slow sometimes. These jobs are my #1 priority for art.
updates:
10/2 didn't complete my goals for September... so I'm behind (again) (like always) (I'm sorry) prioritizing due customs over art trades at the moment;;; I'm just trying to do one thing at a time,,,mental health hasn't been great but work still needs to get done. Again, may come out with another adopt or two this month for expenses and rent. PLEASE DM ME if you want an update!! I'll get back to you ASAP!
10/7 forgot to add in my last update, but for clients who have customs this month that I haven't started yet, I will send you a DM to double check details before starting! I may be a little late for because of how far behind I am 🙇 Expect the DM around 20-25th! (Will be unavailable 17-19th)

TOS for art commissions and about art use:

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


Design TOS

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.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!
Any further questions, feel free to ask.

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 8/3) not for several months. I have a very long queue and don't want to open anymore commissions until I have at least most of it done, which will take several months.


"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!!


"Can we do an art trade?"

(CLOSED atm) 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!!!
But I can recommend checking out Naoki Saito tips to get better at art, its free on Youtube!


"Hi how are you?" (small talking)

I do not like small talk. If you have a question, please get straight to the point.


"Can we be friends?"

I believe friendships develop naturally. DMs asking to be friends like this makes me uncomfortable... So please do not ask this.


"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. Comic art is something very personal to me and an area of art I have a lot of passion for. I don't want to lose that passion by making it a job, which is what happened to me for most my art.

AUCTIONS


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 only PING (@naniku-adopts) when the AB has actually been added and available to claim.


AUCTION 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 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 will end 24-48 hours (not specific) after last bid or immediately after AB.PLEASE REMEMBER TO READ MY DESIGN TOS!Also, I can make edits to the design as long as they're not too major! just ask :>


You are not allowed to bid/buy another one of my designs if you have a payment plan with me already. please finish paying off the other design before bidding on anotherPAYMENTS
Up until the design is fully paid for all rights to the design will remain to me.
I ONLY accept payment through Paypal ([email protected]) or Cash App ($naaniku - 2 a's!!) anything else is not me.Always beware of scammers/impersonators! I will never discuss payment in comments except for on Toyhouse (@Naniku). My Discord is @Naniku. My Twitter is @nikunaniku. If you receive a DM about payment from any account other than those 3, IT 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.HOLDS AND PAYMENT PLANS (PP)
Holds/PP are OK as long as at least the SB amount is paid upfront (within 24 hours) and full payment is complete within 1 month.
Longer payment plans are accepted if the bid exceeds $500. A deadline will be agreed upon after discussion. I typically do not accept payment plans longer than 3 months. (In the rare case that bid exceeds $3500, I accept payment plans as long at 8 months)
I am pretty chill with payment plans as long as updates are given frequently and payments are being made consistently throughout the agreed timeframe. If I ask for an update and you do not reply within 2 weeks, I consider that ghosting.
Please remember all payments are final. If there is an emergency where you need to backout mid payment plan a partial refund can be discussed (no guarantee). Though I will not refund the SB amount that should be paid up front.
when the design has fully been paid for - no refunds are accepted at all no matter the situation!!!
Please do not commission any art of the design until payment plan is 100% complete. Even if I give you the files early on.
