feel free to reach out if you ever have any questions or concerns!
before you follow me:
i don't want anything to do with: transphobes, terfs, homophobia, misogyny, including men in lesbian attraction (lesbophobia), p3d0philes (and l*licons), racism, acephobes, groomers.
pronouns =/= gender, and masc/femme =/= man/woman. i will block and not waste time arguing.
my social media is generally intended for mature audiences - follow at your own risk. i don't post explicit sexual content, but i do love my innuendos with a sprinkle of dirty jokes, and many mutuals i openly interact with are 18+ accounts.
i can have my opinions but i try to avoid dwelling on discourse for any length of time.
my account is very retweet-heavy. feel free to turn off retweets when you follow me.
unchecked spoilers, but i'll hold off on spoiling brand new content such as tv shows.
i have emetophobia. please don't mention the topic of v*mit even as a joke around or directed at me. please do not make fake gagging noises in voice calls with me.
if i have you blocked, chances are i forgot why -- i block very freely to curate my universe on social media. if you're active in a shared community with me and you don't seem like a bad person, i might scan your account and unblock you.
i wouldn't take it personally if i don't follow you or unfollowed you. i'm very picky about curating the content i get on my feed. it especially doesn't mean we're not friends if we chat a lot elsewhere!
i personally choose to avoid speaking profanity but don't mind if others do it around me.
i am always available with an open mind to communicate to resolve any issues or concerns that may occur. do educate me on how i can better myself.
do not tone police me. i reserve the right to express my own concerns in whatever words i choose when i feel that my boundaries have been crossed after i've clearly communicated that i am uncomfortable with the things being said to me.
i research both sides of any allegation that crops up about a mutual of mine or someone to whom my support or withholding of support matters.
if you hold any parasocial feelings, fantasies of a closer relationship of any kind, towards me as a person or as an online personality, then please keep them to yourself indefinitely, and do NOT interact with me.

shizuka's art commissions
Want something I don't currently offer?
It never hurts to ask! You can DM me to inquire any time. <3
The best way to catch my next commission opening is to follow my social media accounts (Twitter, Bluesky) OR join my discord server to join the ping list and get an earlier notification.
how to commission me
By commissioning me, I'll expect you to have read and agreed to my Terms of Service as of the time of the commission opening.
When I open for commissions, it is not first come, first served. I will select commission requests that I am most comfortable working with. One commission per person at a time. To commission additional artwork, please wait for the next commission opening.
To apply for a commission slot, fill out the google form linked in the commission post.
In the google form, you will tell me what type of commission you want (eg. Full-Body/Headshot Flatcolor/Shaded Sketch/Illust) and the subject (species of character, pose, expression), and link your character's main reference sheet. Here, you will also let me know what social media platforms you are available on, and which one you'd most prefer to be reached for further discussion.
I'll reach out to let you know if I have accepted your commission or not. After all commission slots have been claimed, I will announce so publicly and commissions will close.
You might get an invitation to join a short waitlist if your commission isn't accepted. Those in the waitlist will be guaranteed to have their commission accepted when I am able to take them next time, but may not change the specifics of their commission request.
After accepting your commission request, I'll then ask you for any additional information I need from you, give you a quote to confirm, and then ask for your email address to send the invoice.
Once your invoice is paid, I will begin on the concept sketch shortly, and let you know of any delays.
After I finish a concept sketch, I will contact you to show you a WIP. This will be a concept sketch, showing what the general pose and expression of the character will be, and approximately how the features of the character will be drawn. If there is a background, the concept for the background will be lightly sketched. At this stage, I'll need you to let me know if you like the direction of the commission: the pose, the expression, how major features of the character's design are drawn, etc. You are free to ask for changes to the pose, expression, and if anything in the character's design needs fixed or is missing. After you greenlight the sketch stage, I will move on to the lineart.
I might show you a second WIP sketch for approval if the character has a lot of small details.
After I finish the lineart, I may share another WIP if I need you to let me know if anything at all needs corrected to match your character's physical design. Any physical details here are final. After you give the okay on the lineart stage, I will move on to completing the commission with flat colors, shading if any, and background if any. If there's a background, I will usually finish it by now to reference for the shading.
After I color and render the commission, I'll contact you one last time with a WIP before adding finishing touches and color corrections. Some ocs with complex markings may get an additional WIP after the coloring stage and before shading to make sure the markings and flat colors are right. After you give the okay on this stage, I'll add any final touches.
Lastly, you'll receive the final product! I will give you a watermarked version for posting on your social media if you like, and an un-watermarked version for your own personal, non-commercial use (like profile pics and stuff). If it looks all good to you, then the commission process is concluded, and I will also post the commission on my own social media shortly afterwards. :)
necessary information
I'll need this information from you to complete your commission as accurately as possible and in a timely manner for us both, so have it ready if you're intending to commission me!
character reference sheet
Ideally I'd like to know the character's species as well. If the character is an original species or a hybrid species, please let me know what creatures they are based on so that I know what type of anatomy to work with.
If giving a character a different outfit than the one on their reference sheet, please give me reference images of the entire outfit and every detail, using pics you find off google or whatever. I do NOT want to design fashion! I will charge fees for excessive "artistic liberty" on character design or outright reject the request or entire commission if it extends beyond my comfort zone.
PS. please don't make me download a strange zip file to get your reference images. use direct links or google drive links with sharing turned on. I can work with deviantart stash links too!
details of commission
Tell me what you want in your commission, such as pose, expression, scenario, etc. Feel free to make a rough sketch to describe the composition you're imagining. You're also welcome to give a brief (less than 500 words) summary of your character's story or personality if you believe it'd help me convey the character correctly. :)
your socials
List your socials if you'd like a shout out and to be directly credited for your character when I post the final commission!
