To order from me, reply to the thread (or message me) with a reference image(s), how you want them drawn, and how you’ll pay! You may specify poses, expressions, etc. or leave it up to me! Give me as much or as little info as you like.
I reserve the right to decline orders for any reason.

Payment is taken in advance; you’ll have up to 48 hours after I’ve confirmed your slot & requested payment to send it. Failure to do so will see your slot forfeit, unfortunately!
Payment is listed in both USD (available for individuals aged 18+ only) and GC.
I also accept payment via bribes! More on that in the ‘pricing’ section in the next post <3

I can’t offer refunds in 90% of cases, especially where payment is taken in USD, so please please please be sure you have the funds to spare before ordering!
I will, however, happily offer refunds in the unlikely scenario that I have botched your order beyond repair. This doesn’t mean pieces where I’ve forgotten smaller details, I’ll happily fix the piece in such cases. Rather, orders where I’ve done something such as a completely different pose than requested.
Refunds will not be offered nor will I be inclined to fix a piece where references and instructions given were not clear.
Refunds may also be offered in cases where upwards of two months have passed without progress. Whilst I make commissions a very high priority and always strive to have them done quickly, sometimes I simply can't. I will always, always try to be open and communicative about my own status and the status of commissions. What I ask in return is patience and understanding ;u;

    Completion of Orders

On completion, I will send the piece to you for approval, and post to this thread once approval is given! If you'd rather I do not post finished pieces publically, please tell me as you order!
You will receive a full-sized version of your completed piece, along with a version resized/cropped to 150x150px.
Finished pieces will likely be uploaded publically to my Tumblr/DeviantArt. If you are uncomfortable with this, please tell me so in advance so I know not to post such publically!

You may use your finished order how you like; however,
> Please do not heavily modify pieces (such as completely changing colours, redrawing the piece partially or fully, finishing up sketches, etc.). Cropping, resizing, and other minor changes are fine. If your intent in commissioning me is to be able to modify the piece- such as using it as a base- let me know as you place your order so we can negotiate the specifics.
> Please do not claim you created my art, or otherwise fail to credit me if you reupload it. You may credit this account, or I’m ‘Closet-Furry’ on DeviantArt, ‘Furry’ on Toyhou.se, and ‘Closets-Doodle-Closet’ on Tumblr. Links to any of those as credit are fine!
> Please do not attempt to make a profit on my art in any way. This includes selling prints or your own rights to the piece. Attempting to profit on my work will not be tolerated.

    Wills and Won’ts

I can and will work with;
> Your Wolvden Wolves
> Other Feral Characters
> Anthro Characters/Furries
> Original Species
> Violence, Blood, Gore, Candy Gore, and Body Horror (These pieces will always only be sent privately, so as not to risk upsetting those who are sensitive to such!)
> Honestly, I’m more-or-less willing to take a crack at just about anything not on my ‘won’ts’ list!

I am not comfortable working with;
> Humanoid Characters (including sphinx characters)
> Highly complex robotics
> Written references
> Uncoloured references

Sketches

Bust - $5 or 20 GC
   (+Colour, $8 or 32 GC)
   (+Shading, $9 or 36 GC)

Waist-Up* - $8 or 32 GC

   (+Shading, $13 or 52 GC)

Fullbody - $10 or 40 GC

   (+Shading, $18 or 72 GC)
   (+Additional Character, +60% each)

    Lined
(Please note that the base price for lined pieces includes colour! Lined pieces can be completed in a binary (no anti-aliasing) or pen (anti-aliasing) style. I colour/shade the two styles differently, so make sure you specify which you prefer when ordering!)

Bust - $15 or 60 GC
   (+Shading, $20 or 80 GC)

Waist-Up* - $25 or 100 GC)
   (+Shading, $35 or 140 GC)

Fullbody - $40 or 160 GC
   (+Shading, $55 or 220 GC)
   (+Additional Character, +80% each)

* Due to the difficulty I have getting feral characters in poses that work for waist-ups/halfbodies, these are only available for anthro or bipedal characters. Thank you for your understanding!

Now Accepting Silver Cones for all orders!
SC is accepted at a rate of 1 GC = 50 SC (or 1USD = 200 SC)

I accept bribes for slots! With bribes, I’m usually willing to accept a bit lower value for a slot. For example, I’d most likely be quite happy to accept a Total Random Shuffle for a coloured bust sketch, despite the GC value of the item being 2 less than the asking price.
In cases where I am closed for orders, I may still accept bribe orders. However, these bribes will have to be rather desirable to me!
I may also allow you to order ‘off the menu’, as it were, with bribes. Such may include backgrounds, animation, etc.- please be aware offers for such will have to be very tempting!
Here’s a list of things I’d be willing to look at for bribes. You can stray from it, but these are for-sure things I’m interested in.
> GC, SC, or USD (for off-menu or when I’m closed; will have to be considerably above base prices)
> Random Marking Applicators, Marking Applicators, Marking Removers, and Total Shuffles.
> Guarana
> Art Trades

    YCHs

Unlimited Use YCHs
These YCHs will be reused again and again! As a result, they’re much cheaper than getting full custom art.

Animated Talksprite (Canine Only) - $5 or 20 GC
   (+Edited Lineart, $6-$8 or 24-32 GC)
   (+Additional Expressions, add $3 or 12 GC each)

Currently available expressions include the default smiling (shown), angry, and sad. I may add more if there's some demand!

Limited Use YCHs
These YCHs will only be used once- one they’re claimed, they’re gone for good! They’re typically a little cheaper than fully custom art, but may be a little more experimental. A good choice if you want something unique on a budget!

hi my name is closet furry and i'm just now learning you can't ping people on this forum dxgsghfgh. there goes my idea to use this post for a ping list. ah well, I'm sure I'll find a use for it!

Hey there! I would absolutely LOVE an animated talk sprite of Pietro (click)
And I'd like to pay in GC. He doesn't have headfur or anything, just a regular wolf face/head.

Could it be the default smiling, but with the narrower eyes instead of the wide open eyes? Would that be the additional GC?

Let me know the total and I will set up a trade of that amount to pay for it!

(Also I WILL be back for a ref once I figure out what I want on it bc my 'sona needs a new ref and I think they'd look wicked in your style!)

@Bone-Wolves sorry for the late response!! Been at work all day |D

Heck yeah, I can do that!!! An edit that small will take no time at all so 20 GC is just fine |D I'll get you on my to-do list and I should be able to get to that tuesday ouo

Ooooooh I love doing ref's so I'll be real excited for that :3c thank you so much for your interest in my art <33

1 order done!!! YWH talksprite for @Bone-Wolves <3

If the slots are still open, I'd like to get a talksprite of Vale! I'd be paying with USD.

The only lineart changes that I'd want would be fluffier headfur, and the same expression as the one before (narrow eyes, smiling)
Just let me know if those would change the price at all!

Sure thing!!

That'd be $6/24GC if that's good for you? ouo
