QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
FAQs
Find answers to the most common questions about commissions, licensing, and my workflow.
↪ Yes, for all commission types. VGen helps keep deadlines, project information, and commission listings organized in one place, making the process clear and secure for both of us. While alternative arrangements may be possible in certain situations, they are not my standard workflow and I generally prefer to avoid them.
↪ This is probably the hardest question to answer. Some Skeb commissions can be completed in just a few days if I'm able to work on them continuously, while larger custom commissions naturally take much longer depending on their complexity, level of detail, and how smoothly communication progresses. As a general guideline, I usually estimate up to three weeks for Skeb commissions and at least one month for custom projects, but every commission is different and the final turnaround always depends on a variety of factors.
↪ Yes. Every commission automatically includes both a Personal License and a Commercial Content License, as described in my Commission Agreement. The main exception is fan art, since the characters belong to existing intellectual property owners and cannot legally be licensed for commercial use. In those cases, only a Personal License is included.
If you plan to sell merchandise featuring the commissioned artwork, a separate Commercial Merchandise License is required. This license costs 300% of the total commission price as a one-time fee and remains valid for six months, after which it can be renewed if needed.
↪ No. My artwork is entirely created by hand.
I also do not, and will not, use AI because it goes against my personal philosophy as an artist. For me, the greatest joy of creating comes from learning, experimenting, solving artistic challenges, and growing through every illustration. I believe those experiences are an essential part of becoming a better artist, and I wouldn't want to replace that journey with automation.
I don't use AI generated images, AI assisted rendering, or AI generated elements in any part of my workflow. I also avoid using pre-made assets - even the smallest details, whether it's a button, zipper, key, or decorative element, are drawn by hand.
Many of my illustrations are based on my own references, photographs, figure skating poses, real life observations, and extensive visual research. These references help me study anatomy, movement, lighting, and composition, but AI is never part of the creative process.
I have nothing against artists who choose to use pre-made assets, but I personally enjoy creating everything from scratch. For me, it's the best way to continue learning, improving my skills, and ensuring every illustration is truly my own.
