WHAT IS CHIBI?
- The 'chibi' style of artwork, also known as super-deformed (or 'SD'), comes from Japan where characters are drawn as small and chubby, with stubby limbs and oversized heads. The character height would be 2-3 heads tall. Since it 'compacts' the character design, chibi art simplifies overall details like omitting folds of the clothes and using basic shapes. If the character has a signature look (odd hair, specific accessory, etc.) this will be prominent on the chibi version of the character.
- Semi-chibi is the taller and somewhat more detailed version of the chibi. Some regard semi-chibi as a 'detailed chibi' (and some artists actually do have a very detailed chibi); but for me, they are two different things. I'd pile more details on a semi- than a normal chibi. ^^
BASIC TERMS:

What you will get:
COMPLETION TIME: All things ideal, I usually take at most 2 weeks (after payment) to complete. I will keep you updated on my progress.
PAYMENT METHOD: Full payment only, and before service is given. No partial payments or installments. I will only start drawing once payment clears.
PENDING COMMISSIONS: Commission will not be considered confirmed until payment is received. If payment cannot be made within 14 days, commission will be cancelled to make way for other people. Same goes for those who contact me without giving full refs. I give you 7 days to do so before considering it a no-go to make way for others.
MAILING OF ORIGINAL WORK: (Traditional art only) For those in Malaysia, the original work/hardcopy can be mailed to you upon request via normal mail. If you want me to courier, you will have to bear the cost. For those outside Malaysia, you will have to bear the shipping cost (normal registered mail costs about $6).
- The artwork I make and the pricing is for PERSONAL use only, not for commercial uses of any kind. That means you are not to earn any money from my art, no matter the method.
- Please do not use, edit, copy, trace, plagiarise, steal, and/or commercialise my work and/or characters in any way without MY PERMISSION. If sharing/reposting, please credit me AND link back to this website or my deviantART page. Also, please do not remove or crop my signature and watermark.
- I take commissions for drawing FICTIONAL characters only. If real people (such as yourself or a friend), my style is not realistic, so it will not look the same even if I pick out the prominent features.
- You MUST provide me with reference IMAGES. You can try to find an image that can describe what you want, as close as possible. If you provide me with only text description, I may be able to still draw it, but I also have a right to refuse the commission request or charge extra.
- I may not be able to respond immediately due to different time zones (I am at GMT +8).
- I reserve my right to decline any commissions offered; and if I can't draw it, I will tell you.
- I may upload finished commissions on any of my social media and mention you as the commissioner or owner of the character. If you want to be anonymous, do tell me in advance (at latest, when I give you the finished commission).
What I CAN draw:
- Fictional characters, be it your own characters or fan characters.
- Humans, humanoids, and maybe some anthromorphs.
- Simple backgrounds only (I'll tell you if it is too complex for me)
- Simple armours and firearms, but you must give me a clear reference IMAGE.
- If the character design is detailed, it might be simplified because this is chibi drawing. I can still draw detailed clothes up to a certain degree, but I will have to charge a bit.
What I WON'T draw:
- Anything largely political and sensitive.
- Real people of any age and sizes, especially babies. (I could make exceptions, but never to babies.)
- Muscular and/or plus-size body types (not obvious in chibi styles).
- Generic characters (e.g. just a random person, just a scientist, just someone holding flower, etc..)
- NSFW/'Mature content' things like violence, nudity, sexual, gore, etc.
- Other non-humans/non-humanoids (e.g. realistic animals/ferals, dragons, MLP, Digimon, Pokemon, Yoshi, mecha, robots, vehicles...)
What you will get:
- Full-size drawing in 300dpi and at least 1080-1350px wide, with smaller signature and watermark, and without any dates written on it. It is different from the ones shown in my gallery which are for public view.
COMPLETION TIME: All things ideal, I usually take at most 2 weeks (after payment) to complete. I will keep you updated on my progress.
PAYMENT METHOD: Full payment only, and before service is given. No partial payments or installments. I will only start drawing once payment clears.
- PayPal (USD): most preferred method. You can pay without having PP account, as long as you have card.
- Ko-fi (USD): I will set up a product specifically for you to pay at.
- Local bank transfer (MYR): for those in Malaysia only, though I very much prefer PP.
- dA Points (for those on deviantART). $1 = 100 Points. I will create a commission widget just for you.
PENDING COMMISSIONS: Commission will not be considered confirmed until payment is received. If payment cannot be made within 14 days, commission will be cancelled to make way for other people. Same goes for those who contact me without giving full refs. I give you 7 days to do so before considering it a no-go to make way for others.
