Commissions
(Closed)

I draw digital anime/manga-style art, with a focus on characters. SFW/NSFW are both okay! Private commissions are also accepted! See specifics in the Terms of Service.

Ordering/Pricing

Before ordering a commission, please ensure you have read both the Terms of Service and checked the Commission Status to ensure there are enough available slots to accomodate your request.

Currently, I only accept direct commission payments through a popular blue payment service. Since I offer NSFW works, I'll refrain from explicitly naming it here, but if there's any confusion to which service this is, feel free to ask directly.For all requests, you will receive full-resolution .png file(s) of the image(s), any requested version(s) with transparent background(s), and the .psd file. A timelapse can also be recorded and provided if desired.After browsing commission options, please save a copy of the following Google doc to your own drive, and use it to plug in numbers/select options and get an idea for the price of your order. If there is any confusion, feel free to ask any questions!


Standard Single Illustration

Full rendering and details on most, if not all, parts of the image.Canvas size A4 at 350 dpi, or larger if needed.Bust - $60
Half-body - $80
Thigh-up - $100
Full-body - $120
For each additional character, add 50% of the base price.

Multi Pose/Single Page Collage

A Single Page filled with between 2-6 rendered poses, involving a maximum of 4 unique characters. Pose options are full-body/non-full body (a catch-all for everything else).It's recommended to keep the total number of figures on the canvas to 12 or under - it will be more difficult to come up with a pleasing arrangement!Canvas size A4 at 350 dpi (can change depending on pose layout)Starting at $150Total price will vary depending on number of characters and poses. For a price estimate please use the Google Doc linked above, or simply ask me directly! Feel free to ask any questions if anything is confusing!

Character Sheets and Character Design

Character Sheet
1, 2, or 3 rendered views of an already existing character.
Character Design
Creating a new, original character from scratch. Culminates in a full character sheet with 3 rendered views. Note that the character design process can be long. Please expect character design projects to take up to 4 months from the initial payment date to completion. Note that this is an expected delivery date, not a guaranteed one.
Sheets start at $150
Designs start at $400
Final character sheets include an additional 3 bust shots for facial expressions, 3 detail shots for complex items, and 1 prop design (e.g. weapons, misc. items). If you would rather not have these extras included in the character sheet, the price will not be reduced.If desired, extra bust shots, body shots, thigh-up shots, detail shots, and prop designs in addition to those already bundled with the character sheet can be added for additional cost (see below).Extra Bust Shot - $60
Extra Half-body Shot - $80
Extra Thigh-up Shot - $100
Extra Detail Shot - $20
Extra Prop Design - $20
Canvases can/will be VERY LARGE to ensure details are visible. Let me know your preference, or the default canvas size will be somewhere between 4000 x 6-8000 px.Note: For character designs, please have some mood/inspo boards or references on hand to serve as a starting point. An extra fee applies to the base price if no references are provided.


For all Commissions, the following modifiers and options are available:Complex Designs:
Characters/outfits with more complicated designs may incur an extra fee between $5 - $20, decided upon after discussion.
Variants:
Starting at $5-$30, depending on number/type of variations. Simpler ones (facial expressions, "liquids") will cost less, while more complicated ones (alternate outfits, stages of undressing, pose adjustments) cost more.
(Note: Versions with transparent background are free of charge, if requested)
Simple Background:
One/two colors, simple shapes/designs of my choosing, unless otherwise specified. (No extra cost)
Standard Background: + $20
For example: a bedroom/bathroom with minimal accessories, a simple hallway, simple landscapes, etc.
Detailed Background/Environment: + $40
For example: cityscapes, detailed landscapes, rooms with very specific items/details, etc.
Note: If desired, we can discuss the specifics of background details to decide which category it falls under.Note: Currently, if multiple images with different backgrounds (i.e., different povs requiring multiple backgrounds to be drawn) are desired, the commission will be split into multiple distinct orders, each priced each priced separately.
This may change in the future when I have improved considerably at drawing backgrounds/environments.


To reiterate, before ordering a commission, please ensure you have read the Terms of Service and checked the Commission Status to ensure there are enough available slots to accomodate your request.If you would like to order a commission, please send me an Email (preferable) or Direct Message via Discord (see links at the bottom) Please be sure to mention that you are interested in a commission!

Terms of Service

By ordering a commission, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and accept the following terms of service for commissioning Aihara.

(1) ADULTS ONLY(i) By commissioning me, you confirm that you are 18 years old or older, or of legal age in your country of residence. If I suspect or discover that you are below the legal age, any commissions in progress will be immediately cancelled without refund and you will be blocked/blacklisted from any future commissions.

(2) COMMISSION DETAILS
(i) I reserve the right to decline any commission request for any reason. This would most likely be due to my own inability to execute the requested drawing(s) to an acceptable degree of quality or discomfort with the subject matter of the request.(ii) Please be sure to have a reference sheet, or at least a reference image, for any character(s) in your commission. If you would still like to order a commission but do not have a specific character with a reference sheet/image in mind, please consider submitting a request via Pixiv Requests instead.(iii) It is possible to request variants for your commissioned image(s). Be aware that each variant will incur additional fees on top of the base commission prices (please see the "Variants" section in Ordering/Pricing for more details.)(iv) Unless otherwise specified, commissions are for personal use only. I reserve full rights to use, display, and share the completed image(s), including in future commission information, social media posts, live streams, etc. unless discussed otherwise. If you would like to purchase full exclusive rights to your commissioned image(s) for commercial use, please let me know and we can discuss the associated additional fees to do so.(v) I accept private commissions!
For private commissions there is no additional fee. No details of the commission content or commissioner will be shared in any way, shape, or form, except for the anonymous marker on the commission tracker indicating that a slot has been filled by said commission.


(3) PAYMENT
(i) Currently, payment for a direct commission is only accepted in USD via a popular blue payment processing platform (if it is not clear which one this is, let me know). If an alternative payment method is needed, it can be discussed separately.(ii) Payments can be made in two ways, either:
(a) Payment in full (100%) upon commission acceptance, or
(b) Half (50%) upon commission acceptance and the remaining half (50%) upon sketch approval.
(iii) Please do not send payment until I have confirmed to have given you a commission slot and requested the payment from you (i.e., until you have received the invoice).(iv) Edits - After the initial sketch(es) is(are) done, up to three free major edits are allowed. At this point, if you so choose, you may still revise your commission to include any modifications/additions listed in Ordering/Pricing (i.e., additional characters/poses, more/less variants, etc.). Any further edits beyond these three will incur an additional fee. Any major edits requested after the Rough Sketch phase will incur an additional fee.

(4) COMMUNICATION

(i) Communication regarding commission progress will be done via email or Discord Direct Messages (DMs). If you prefer or must use an alternative method of communication, it can be discussed separately.


(5) TURNAROUND TIME

(i) For "Standard Single Illustration" and "Multi Pose/Single Page Collage" orders, the maximum turnaround time in which your order will be completed and delivered is Two Months (60 days) from receipt of first payment.
(ii) For "Character Sheets/Character Design" orders, the expected turnaround time for order completion is Four Months (120 days) from receipt of first payment. Since personal situations can change over longer timescales, this is not a guaranteed delivery date.Note: If you prefer, I can also delay sending the payment invoice until I am ready to begin working on your order.(iii) If for some reason I should need more than two months to complete an order (four months for "Character Design" orders), I will let you know before the maximum/expected completion time period has passed.(iv) In the event that the maximum/expected time period has passed, and I have not contacted you to inform you about/discuss any additional time needed to complete your order, you will receive a 50% discount on your order.
(a) In the event that the maximum/expected time period has passed, and I have not shown you any initial sketches, you are free to change any and all aspects of your commission, as detailed in section (3)(v) - Edits, without using up any of your 3 free edits. This includes adding any extra modifications/additions to your commission that would bring it back to the original quoted price. Keep in mind that adding more and more modifiers can increase the prices beyond the original quoted price, and your total payment will change to reflect this.
(b) In the event that the maximum/expected time period has passed, and I have shown you initial sketches but have not yet worked on your commission further, you are free to change any and all aspects of your commission up to three times, as detailed in section (3)(iv) - Edits. This includes adding any extra modifications/additions to your commission that would bring it back to the original quoted price. Keep in mind that adding more and more modifiers can increase the prices beyond the original quoted price, and your total payment will change to reflect this.
(iv) Rush Commissions - Currently, I do not offer rush commissions. If you absolutely need a commission from me by a certain date, please factor in the necessary lead time when ordering a commission.

(6) COMMISSION USE POLICY
(i) As described in section (2)(iv), I reserve all rights to use the commissioned image(s) as I see fit unless otherwise discussed with the client. If you would like to purchase full rights to use the image for commercial purposes, please let me know we can discuss the associated fees to do so.(ii) Do not use/sell my commissioned images as NFTs in any way. If it comes to my attention that you have done so, directly or indirectly, you and any associated parties will be blocked and blacklisted from any future commissions.(iii) Do not use my commissioned images as part of any generative AI training dataset. If it comes to my attention that you have done so, directly or indirectly, you and any associated parties will be blocked and blacklisted from any future commissions.(iv) Feel free to post or repost my commission(s) on your personal social media accounts, with credit displayed in some form (either by including social media handles or simply displaying my signature in the image(s)).

(7) CANCELLATIONS AND REFUNDS
(i) If you have approved the sketch(es) I share with you and I have begun working on your commission, you can no longer receive a refund in any form. You may still cancel your commission at a later point, but any payments you have already made will not be refunded.(ii) If you cancel your order before I begin working, you will receive a full refund for any payment already received. Be sure to contact me as well, to ensure I know that you have cancelled your order.(iii) Likewise, If for any reason I become unable to begin working on your commission, I will contact you and you will receive a full refund for any payment already received.(iv) If I have already begun working on your commission beyond the sketch phase, but for some reason become unable to complete it in full, either within the maximum/expected period stated in section (5)(i) or some other deadline agreed upon between the commissioner and myself and recorded in writing, I will contact you and you will receive a full refund for any payment already received.

Pixiv Requests

If you would still like a drawing, but do not have a reference sheet/image or perhaps do not have a specific idea in mind, I suggest requesting a drawing via Pixiv Requests.
Please read the help/FAQ page for requests on the Pixiv website for any questions, as well as my specific request guidelines before submitting a request.
Not that there is no guarantee a pixiv request will be accepted. In the case it is not accepted, Pixiv should refund any payment made by the requester. Also not that non-acceptance of a request does not mean it has been declined, it's possible I may just be too busy at the time to check or complete requests.There is no guarantee that accepted/completed Pixiv requests will be of complete fully-rendered quality, but I will do my best to complete any accepted requests to the quality corresponding to the recommended asking price and/or the price proposed by the requester.For the time being, I will try to limit Pixiv requests so that I am only working on one request alongside other commissions.

By default, any currently accepted/in progress Pixiv requests will also be listed here.
Slot 1: COMPLETE
