There we go… Hope that clears up a few questions… Now as to what I will and will not do…

Will do:

• Male Images – Any male image as per your desire, though I do have some difficulty bringing myself to drawing male genitalia. “Sheathed” grins I think I can manage to do, and if you actually want me to draw some guy pleasuring himself, I may impose the aforementioned “Handling Fee.”

• Female Images – I like women. I like em all. Big ones, small ones, some that climb up on rocks... Anyways! Being the sort of guy that I am… I will draw a feminine character in any general design and make up you so desire.

• Hermaphrodites – Again, this is something that I must impose my “Handling Fee” upon. I feel uncomfortable drawing a dual-sexuality creature and so if I do take the commission, I will exercise the option to charge extra for doing so.

• Sexual Mannerisms – Ok, now for the nitty-gritty. I will draw tasteful nudes, which I find intriguing and pleasing to apply artistically. Sexual, erotic, tantric, or whatever other word that can be attributed to sexual manners, which include lactation, spooge, etc… may require a “Handling Fee.” Unless it is of a Hardcore Hentai, Ecchi, or similar design, there probably will not be a “Handling Fee” involved.

Will NOT do:

• Sexual Mannerisms - This shall be the greatest degree of things I will NOT do under any circumstances.

- Defecation: The act of urinating (golden showers) or anything involving Festus (crap) on anyone or anything.

- Homosexuality: The sexual act of man on man or woman on woman. This includes Yaoi and acts of lesbianism. The closest to the latter of these I may draw are a couple of women cuddling or a couple of men hugging one another.

- Orgies: Multiple participants in a sexual manner.

- Underage Sexuality: The general age of adulthood is the age of 18, 20 or 21 depending upon the nation in which you reside. If I am correct, underage porn is anything that is of sexual nature involving a boy or a girl that is of the age of 18 or below.

- Necrophilia: Hell Raiser stuff. Likewise, Slash, Gore, and their many constituents are strictly out. The closest I may come to drawing anything “undead” is that of a demonic nature or living necromancers.

- Realism: Sadly, my ability to create “photo realistic” artwork is nowhere near what I wish it were. Also, despite my capabilities for detail, I will not, under any circumstances, goo into the realm of “too much information” or “Dude… I SO did NOT want to know what that is…”

- Bestiality: Um…. No. Just no.

That out of the way… Now onto how you may contact me, and what I’m looking for. In short, I only want to be contacted at my Email address, which is:

Psudodrake@hotmail.com

I get rather annoyed when people continuously contact me via IM... especially when they announce themselves with “Hey, I have a foot fetish! Let’s chat!” That is the quickest way to get your butt ignored. I like my privacy to near paranoia and it is a VERY simple thing for me to simply block everyone save for those I presently have in my IM list.

Q: What happens to my request once you receive it?

A: It goes into a queue that I store on my computer. I may state that I will have to hold off accepting commissions, tending not to take more than 3 or 4 at a time… for sanity’s sake.

Q: I sent you a picture but you never responded… why is that? ;_;

A: My apologies for that ladies and gentlemen. For this you may blame the evil that is Yahoo. My hotmail account, which I use for all my business transactions – everything except personal – has been placed under what I can describe as Anal-security levels. Imbedded pictures are contrived as attachments. Attachments are deleted from the message before I ever see them.

Q: So then how do you find out how my commission is supposed to look if you can’t ever see the picture?

A: Attachments – not imbedded – images seem to come through quite well. But due to the nature of Hotmail, they’ll need to be small attachments… between 200-300kb. Additionally, I have an incredibly overactive imagination, and can image and imagine things quite well without visual aides. I prefer this method actually. So the best way to get me to understand how you want me to draw it is a short form character bio. Like this:

Hair: Gold – really long!

Eyes: Purple

Has long Elven ears

Has a pair of gossamer butterfly wings at her back

Is really small, so put her on a lily pad or something…

Q: How long does it take you to do commissions?

A: Again, this varies, and also on how often I get free time between calls at work. Pencils are done very quickly, and I will often show you examples of the rough sketch before I finalize anything. Likewise, you will get to see each step of the process. Once you tell me to ink it, that’s it… no more changes. Pencils, for a single sheet, I can do in a work day. Inks can be done in another workday (I’ve once done two of these in a day) Colors, however, will take several days no matter which way you slice it.

Q: When do you want the cash?

A: Right away, though I will do up to a rough sketch prior to actually doing all the detail. Payment options are either all up front, half-now-half-later, or in increments as I finish each stage.

Q: What payment options do you accept?

A: My preferred payment option is through www.Paypal.com though I will accept money orders as well. Do not send cash, and I will not accept personal checks anymore. As a point, if I don’t get an email first before you send money, then don’t expect a refund ;3p

Q: Do you accept art trades as payment?

A: Only on a rare and exceptionally limited basis. You must be an artist that I know and respect before I would consider such a thing. For those of you who only have pencil sketches on blue-line paper… don’t even ask.

Q: How do I see your progress?

A: Progress images will be located underneath your name, under “Commissions” on my website. If you are reading this, they you’ve already found your way into the correct location on the site. >^_^<

Hope that clears things up. Any other questions are always accepted!
