Terms of Service (TOS)
Please read my terms of service (TOS) carefully before commissioning me.
My TOS covers what I can/can't draw, details about the ordering process, and how you may use my artwork.
What I can draw
Humans, humanoids, anthros, furries, ferals, animals, pets, monsters, aliens
Original, fandom, and canon characters
Pretty much any character of any species, size, and shape!
What I can maybe draw
Characters without any visual references
Gore, body horror, drug use
Artistic nudity; suggestive or 18+ themes
Complex backgrounds
Weapons, robots, mechs, machinery, vehicles, architecture
What I will not draw
Explicit NSFW content (anything considered pornography)
Large projects with more than two clients involved
If there is anything you're unsure about, please ask.
Ordering process
What is a commission? An art commission is when you can ask an artist to draw you art in exchange for money. Basically, you are buying a custom piece of art!
Interested in a commission from me? Please be sure you have read my TOS in full and check my commission status.
If I am open for commissions, you can contact me at any of my listed platforms. Discord is preferred. In your message, please describe the type of art you want, send references of your character, and anything else that would help me fulfill your order.
Turnaround times vary. Compared to other artists, I am very slow. Generally, I try to finish smaller pieces (<$50) within a month and larger pieces (>$75) within three months. Check my art queue for updates.
Payment is expected upfront or by the rough sketch stage. Partial payments are OK. I can accept Paypal, Venmo, and payments through Ko-Fi.
Full refunds can be requested before or at the rough sketch stage. Partial refunds can be given during later stages. If I cannot complete a commission for any reason, I will issue a full refund.
Depending on the type of art and your preference, I may share works-in-progress (WIPs). Skeb-style commissions (commissions where I send the final image with no revisions) are 20% off.
Minor edits (e.g., pose change during the sketch phase, color adjustment) are usually included. More time-consuming edits (e.g., pose change during the coloring phase, changing outfits, special variations) may have a fee.
There are no refunds after a piece is completed, but I will do my best to work with you to make sure you are happy with your art!
Art usage
I may post WIPs and finished commissions online. Upon request, I can keep commissions private or anonymous.
I watermark my art. Non-watermarked versions can be provided upon request.
Please do not use my art to train AI or create NFTs.
You can do practically whatever you want with the result! Repost it, print it out, put it on a t-shirt, make your own edits, etc. However, my art is for personal use only, not commercial use.
Credit is not required when reposting or sharing, but do not claim that you created it. I want my art to bring as much joy to people as possible. :)
Commissions by Skoryx
Commission information
I mainly offer digital art commissions, but I also do traditional art and custom crafts.
Extra characters in the same piece cost +50% per character unless otherwise noted.
The same character(s) drawn multiple times in the same piece cost +25% per instance*. Simple characters (e.g., pets) are +25%.
Minor objects can usually be included at no extra charge. More complicated character designs, clothing, or accessories may cost extra.
Simple backgrounds (e.g., patterns, photos, simple scenes) are usually included. Complex backgrounds will cost extra.
NSFW art will have a 50% upcharge.
Art may be completed skeb-style (no WIPs provided) at a 20% discount.
A reminder: I can draw humans, too! The majority of my clients have fantasy or furry characters, so those dominate my examples.
*Here's an example. Let's say you want a commission with a single character drawn twice in the same composition. That would add 25% instead of 50% because a new character is not being added to the piece.
*Another example:
*One more example:
*The math can get complicated the more complicated the piece is, but please don't be afraid to ask for a quote.

Non-animated avatars are in my clean style and fully shaded.

|---|---|

All pixel art can include a simple 3-frame animation (e.g., winking, bouncing, smiling). Additional or more complex animations will be extra.
Reference sheets
All of my reference sheet commissions are drawn digitally and are unshaded.
All the prices listed below are for art in my clean style. I use the terms clean and normal interchangeably.
You may request entire reference sheets or select elements to be drawn in my sketch style. Anything in my sketch style is 50% off the listed price.
In case your character's design changes, unlimited edits (within reason) for up to a year are included.
BASE REF SHEET
A base reference sheet includes 1 full-body, 1 bust, and 1 close-up of your choice for $50. Simple details such as a color palette and text are included.
REF SHEET ADD-ONS
Treat the base reference sheet as a scoop of ice cream and the add-ons as extras and toppings. You can add as much as you'd like!
| +Full-body | +Bust | +Chibi full-body | +Chibi bust | +Close-ups, accessories, outfits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| +$30 | +$15 | +$15 | +$10 | +$5 and up |

Sketch reference sheets
Traditional art
Traditional illustration
Typically drawn with ink and Copic markers, but can be done in watercolor, acrylic paint, or colored pencil upon request.
My paper of choice is typically cardstock or Bristol paper.
Prices are based on the size of the illustration rather than body shots. A full-body on a 3 x 4 in. paper will look different and have less detail than a full-body on a 8 x 10 in. paper.
Extra characters are +50% of the base price. The same character drawn again in the same piece is +25% per instance.
An artist's choice illustration will be done with whatever art supplies I feel like using.
| Size (in inches) | Inks only | Ink and color | Artist's choice/mixed media |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 x 4 in | $10 | $20 | $15 |
| 4 x 6 in | $15 | $25 | $20 |
| 8 x 10 in | $20 | $30 | $25 |
index cards
A drawing of your character on a 2 x 3 inch index card. I offer these on two different types of index cards: kraft and regular.
The Kraft index cards are uncolored and only in black and white. The regular index cards are in full color.
Premade stickers can be added for free (depending on what I have available).
| Kraft | Regular |
|---|---|
| $10 | $20 |
Sticky note - $5
A simple ink doodle on a random sticky note.
I'll try my best to accommodate note color requests.
Art slap $15
Acrylic paint markers on a 4 x 6 inch shipping label. This artwork doubles as a big sticker!
My range of colors is limited, so character designs may be simplified.
Traditional badges
Typically drawn with Copic markers, but can be done in watercolor or colored pencil upon request. I offer badges in three different sizes: card, half, or full.
Badges are single-sided. A second side can be added for +100%.
Simple or complex backgrounds can be included.
Prices here include lamination and physically making a badge.
| Card size | Half size | Full size |
|---|---|---|
| 2 x 3 inches | 4 x 6 inches | 8 x 10 inches |

This is my digital portfolio, showcasing some of my favorite works and showing how my art style has progressed over the years! I used to post everything I created to DeviantArt. For a while, that site housed my portfolio, but I have since left the site. It is difficult to represent a whole year with just a few images out of hundreds I may have created, and it doesn't represent every aspect of my career as an artist.I haven't found a good alternative to DeviantArt to showcase all of my work, so for the time being, I tried to pick out some of my favorite pieces from each year. There are a lot of images on this page, so please be patient while they load.
2025
I moved to Alaska to attend grad school. I'm studying ornithology so I'm trying to draw more birds.
2024
I attended my second artist alley at AnEx. I also bought tons of new traditional art supplies, including hundreds of Copics and Posca pens!
2023
This was a great year! I participated in Art Fight, had my first artist alley table, tried Copic markers for the first time, and offered sketchpages as a new commission option. I also created a fursuit!
2022
I didn't draw nearly as much since I was busy with my senior year of college, but I found inspiration in nature and biology to fuel some of my art.
2021
Not a super productive year since I was busy working two jobs and was super depressed, but I cranked out a few things!
2020
Not the most productive year since I was battling depression and mitigating COVID while still in school.
2019
I was pretty busy with school but found time to draw occasionally!
2018
I introduced my "doodley" art style to the world!
2017
A great year for creating art! Unfortunately, I continued to underprice my work and wound up taking on a project with 42 raccoons at $5 a fullbody.
2016
To celebrate hitting 2,000 watchers on DeviantArt, I took over 100 free art requests. Later that year, I opened my Etsy shop and began selling physical art like buttons, stickers, and badges.
2015
I dabbled with some new software and learned to use Emofuri. I also made several models in MMD.
2014
I offered commissions for the first time on DeviantArt! I also learned how to do pixel art. When I hit 1,000 watchers on Deviantart, I offered 100 free chibis/pixel dolls/busts to celebrate.
2013
Switched from Sumo Paint to Paint Tool Sai. I finally learned what layers were!
2012 and before
I got my first drawing tablet in 2011 and started drawing in MS Paint, later switching to Sumo Paint. I also worked off of a lot of bases.
